TIP is trialling an electric regen axle system – developed jointly by Thermo King Europe and BPW – with a refrigerated semi-trailer in Britain.

During a press conference at the show, Güriş said that Parsan is now working with AVL to adapt the e-axle for series production.

This variant has been tailored for demanding heavy-duty applications like logging, construction and heavy-haul operations. The design improves stability, weight distribution and control aiding in driver comfort, performance and safety.

Allison launched the eGen Power 85S for the electric truck market, the latest addition to its range of fully electric CV axles. Furthermore, the company introduced its new 9-speed fully automatic transmission, designed for commercial vehicles operating in stop-and-go conditions, offering improved fuel economy, enhanced performance, and lower maintenance costs.

The agreement, which was signed at the end of July, is aimed at expanding its business within China’s electric drive axle market.

The new R&D facility is located in Pune, Maharashtra, near a major production site where SAF-Holland manufactures trailer axles and suspensions under the ‘York’ brand.

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 acquisition is expected to leverage the expertise of the Roberto Nuti Group to enhance SI Airsprings product offerings as well as strengthen its global market position.

Founded in 1984, Assali Stefen produces standard axles and components as well as self-steering axles and components for special applications.

Reyco Granning specialises in manufacturing suspension solutions for heavy and medium-duty vehicles, including for motorhomes, emergency response vehicle, speciality trailers, commercial trucks and buses.

The Hübner Group, which unveiled its ‘hydropneumatic’ suspension and damping system, which works without the use of compressed air at Busworld 2023, is seeking OE partners to build the first vehicle prototype. Any manufacturer interested should get in touch.

With Thermo King’s expertise in electrifying transport refrigeration, the partners aim to achieve reduced fuel consumption in diesel truck-trailers and increased range in electric combinations.
