100 more Volterra ZSL vehicles will join Republic Services’ fleet, following the fulfilment of a 50-unit order placed a year ago.

According to the fleet operator Inceptio, this was its largest single order of intelligent heavy-duty trucks so far. The trucks were developed in partnership with Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle Company Ltd.

VDL will supply up to 157 ‘Citea’ buses and Solaris will supply 30 ‘Urbino’ electric buses to Arriva starting on 6 July 2025.

Stagecoach told Truck & Bus Builder that the 715 buses come from a range of different suppliers, including: Alexander Dennis; Wrightbus; Pelican Yutong; and Volvo Buses.

The ‘eTGX’ was handed over to automotive supplier Dräxlmaier of Vilsbiburg, who will use it to transport batteries to the Porsche factory in Leipzig, Saxony.

Over 90% of these will be zero-emission, drawn from the manufacturer’s ranges of battery electric and fuel cell electric single and double deckers.

The order, which will be fulfilled in three batches, is for 139 twin-axle trailers with box van bodies measuring four metres in height.

These 8.9-meter-long buses have been specially modified by the AD24 workshop in Harlow to enhance functionality, with more standing room and an additional door on the driver’s side for flexible boarding.

RNG, derived from organic waste such as agricultural or landfill materials, can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These fuel systems, tailored for the specific needs of refuse vehicles, allow the fleet to maintain efficiency while reducing their carbon footprint.

The state government of Western Australia, together with the federal government, is committing AUD125m towards the manufacture of buses on the BZL Electric chassis in Perth.

This vehicle is Switzerland's first driverless public transport vehicle, set to operate on a 2.2-kilometre route in Arbon at a speed of 30 km/h.

The bus was commissioned by the country’s largest bus operator, Dota S.A. This electric bus is part of the city's broader plan to reduce carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
