Nikola claims that, by navigating to “what3words addresses”, drivers will find their destinations more easily – particularly in cases where a single conventional address has multiple entrances and drop-off points.

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.  

The iQ-Cruise will be integrated with Eaton’s portfolio of automated manual transmissions, including the Eaton Cummins range.

The company says it will focus on commercialising its ‘Solar Bus Kit’, which (despite the name) is intended for trucks and trailers as well as buses.

With inputs such as organic residues from farmland, municipal waste, and industry, Blueflux Energy claims it can produce green hydrogen – together with synthesis gas, peat substitutes, and biogas – through a process which takes two hours.

Agreements were signed with dealers in southern Alberta, Toronto, and Montreal.

The St1 group plans on building more energy stations across the Nordics, with Kempower set to provide all the necessary charging equipment, a potentially lucrative contract for the firm as they look to capitalise on the European EV transition. 

Continental will build initial versions of the hardware as well as test, prototype and validate Aurora’s technology before it starts production at its facility in New Braunfels, Texas, USA.

Hexagon has supplied Ford Trucks with a complete hydrogen fuel storage system for the development of a fuel-cell electric-powered truck (F-Max FCEV) prototype. As a partner in the project, Ford Trucks will develop and deliver the F-Max FCEV, which will operate as part of a larger fleet of zero-emission trucks collecting data from around Europe.

The project’s explicit goal is to “reduce the overall time and cost of battery production by at least 20%, in addition to lowering the number of physical experiments required and reducing material costs.” This will ultimately increase the competitiveness of the European battery industry.  

Order volumes have not been disclosed but we do know that the battery pack cells will utilise an LFP chemistry, specifically tailored for the long-distance travel demands of electric city buses.  

Bluebus is set to ship thirty of its 6-metre electric buses to Turin, Italy, to its local distributor Indcar, marking its debut in the Italian market.
