The funding is to be used to support deployment of 350 fully air-conditioned, 9-metre electric buses across eight cities in Uttar Pradesh.

The company will showcase a range of new products under the theme "Innovating transportation from road to cloud". This year's focus includes digitalisation, sustainability and autonomous driving technologies for commercial vehicles.

The site houses the battery R&D centre (InnoLab Battery) and the manufacturing component, which is currently producing battery cells and packs on a prototype line in order to acquire the necessary knowledge before series production in the second half of the decade can commence.

The aim is to target a module level of efficiency of less than 36kWh/kg and drive down the price, making it much more competitive as an alternative fuel/energy option in sectors such as heavy transportation.

This, according to Ceres, will help lead to the scale and speed of the development of new zero-emission technologies and help the company develop its fuel cell technologies for power generation and electrolysers for green hydrogen.

Using biomethane in its gas engine, CO2 emissions can be reduced by up to 95% compared with current diesel engines, FPT Industrial states.

Volvo states that this offering is tailored specifically for the Brazilian market and aligns it with its commitment to reducing carbon emissions in the transportation sector.

Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), Enva will contribute its national battery collection network with Altilium’s recycling expertise, recovering precious metals and other critical materials such as lithium, which will be used in the production of new batteries.

FEV’s “CycleBat” allows OEMs to predict the economic, ecological and recycling costs related to its battery development. The award was presented by the ATZ/MTZ Group and management consultants Arthur D. Little.

This project will study the feasibility of commercialising the use of international liquefied green hydrogen supply chains, including LH2-terminals, large- and medium-sized overseas shipping and large-scale liquid hydrogen storage.

The companies are set to integrate Hexagon’s NG/RNG systems with Brudeli’s plug-in PowerHybrid technology to allow fleet operators the ability to maintain diesel ICE duty cycles while providing fuel cost savings and complying with Near Zero Emission Vehicles. Targeting the class 7 and 8 North American truck market, the partnership also aims to help OEMs achieve their various decarbonisation goals.

The new sustainable-material demonstration truck tyre used 63% sustainable material with 15 sustainable ingredients across 20 tyre components. Furthermore, it was manufactured with four different carbon blacks sourced from plant-based oils rather than crude oil.
