With Rohm’s technology, Valeo aims to develop a new generation of power modules for electric motor inverters which will go into electric vehicles in multiple segments, from e-bikes to e-trucks.

The move comes shortly after the company signed a single order for 500 light trucks with a local logistics company in the country.

The investment is to be used to support RSB’s plans for growth, focusing on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and expanding its global operations.

With this expansion, Kempower is targeting the Turkish charge point operators, municipalities and public transport authorities. This is a milestone for Kempower, which continues to enter new markets as part of its strategy for growth.

Mahle is contracted to supply a “hydrogen power cell unit” and other components to MAN for its ‘hTGX’ truck, which was announced earlier this year.

The two companies plan to integrate Rocsys’ ‘ROC-1’ hands-free charger with Aidrivers’ autonomous digital infrastructure which allows terminal tractors to drive themselves safely in the port.

The deal, understood to be worth KRW13trn (USD9.4bn), comes a year after the two companies decided to scrap plans to build a battery manufacturing joint venture in Turkey due to weakening demand for electric vehicles (EVs) in Europe.

Justifying the choice, Workhorse said that Siemens’ software meant it could eliminate the “costly” multi-computer-aided-design environment it relied on before.

The company is bringing its electric minibus (the 6-metre e-Jest) to British consumers through Horsham-based dealer, EVM UK Ltd.

The group has signed distribution agreements with two truck-trailer dealers, Ascendance Trucks LLC of Boca Raton, Florida and Allegiance Trucks LLC of Stamford, Connecticut.

Customers of MAN and Scania who make use of MAN ‘Charge&Go’ or Scania ‘Charging Access’ will now be able to use Hubject’s ‘Intercharge’ network of charging points.

EVM UK, now with the Ferqui brand added to its portfolio, the company now represents a total of nine European mini and midi bus and coach brands.
