MFTBC said the partnership is part of its “Fuso eMobility Solutions” programme which supports customers’ shift to battery-powered trucks such as the eCanter light-duty truck.

Daimler Truck has signed an MOU with state-owned renewable energy company, Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar), to explore the feasibility of importing liquified green hydrogen from Abu Dhabi (in the UAE) to Europe by 2030.  

Scherer leaves Siemens AG, where she was an executive VP and head of global investor relations at the German multinational.

The JV aims to manufacture battery cells for commercial electric vehicles at a 21-gigawatt hour (GWh) factory that is anticipated to cost between USD 2-3 billion and come online in 2027.

Improving the eCitaro’s environmental footprint will further contribute to Daimler Buses' environmental and sustainability goals as well as improve its ESG score.

Gorbach was first appointed to the Board of Management of Daimler Truck in 2021.

The first three of forty-six Mercedes-Benz eCitaro articulated 18m electric buses were delivered to German public transport operator Rhein-Neckar-Verkehr GmbH. These vehicles will operate throughout the cities of Mannheim and Heidelberg in 2024.

This will help Daimer Truck further assess the vehicle's capabilities as well as evaluate the viability of the charging infrastructure around the Wörth area.

Whilst still in the early stages of development, the JV called WarmeWerk Wörth GmbH, aims to be the first to establish the geographical possibility and suitability of geothermal energy extraction in the area surrounding the town of Wörth.

Taking yet another major step into the electrification of its truck fleet, Karin Rådström, CEO of Mercedes-Benz Trucks, speaking at the launch of its heavy duty eActros 600 tractor unit announced that series production in Wörth, Germany was slated for Q4, 2024.

The partners plan to initially invest a combined USD2.64bn to build a facility with a production capacity of 21 gigawatt hours (GWh) of batteries per year for commercial and industrial vehicle applications.

The company has announced a lineup of no fewer than eight buses and coaches from Mercedes-Benz and Setra, including two models making their debuts.
