With orders for more than 1,000 ebuses at 12m or 18m, MAN is to add a midibus to its electric low floor bus portfolio in 2023.

Once installed, the electrolysers will have a capacity of 20 tons of hydrogen per day, operating across multiple sites in Europe and supplying fuel to forklift trucks and light commercial vehicles.

The proposed joint venture between the two companies would supply European customers with Class 8 Nikola trucks along with services and green hydrogen infrastructure as a single solution.

Representing an investment of BRL 11 million (USD2.15m), the new 3,500 square metre (m2) facility will substantially expand Jost Brasil's production capabilities and enable it to develop new components for buses, as well as parts for trucks and trailers.

Beginning in 2023, the Alltrucks partners in Europe will provide BPW mobility products and digital spare parts services.
