The vehicle presented at the show was a first demonstrator, but Schaeffler and VDL have plans to produce more, with the aim of commencing customer pilots in Germany in 2025.

Corinne Aaron has been appointed as the new Chief Marketing Officer taking over from Linnéa Kornehed Falck, who will be focusing on her new role as Deputy CEO and Executive Member of the Board. 

The German company plans to develop 400-volt and 800-volt variants for its electric drive systems for passenger cars and commercial vehicles.

The new truck will go into production in Q4 2023 at the DAF factory in Eindhoven. The vehicles are equipped with a powerful e-motor offering nominal power in 120kW or 190kW ratings and a nominal torque rating of 950 and 1,850Nm respectively (2,600 and 3,500Nm peak performance).  

The company announced that after signing an agreement to supply an Italian public procurement company with 80 e-Atak buses in 2021, it is set to provide another 320 electric minibuses, over the course of the next 18 months. The agreement covers Karsan’s six-metre e-Jest electric bus and the eight-metre e-Atak.

Following its partnership agreement with REE, Knapheide will now be upfitting ‘P7-C’ cab chassis with bodies on a made-to-order basis.

Designed for the global market, the concept electric truck showcases Tresa's take on industrial design, axial flux powertrain and safe battery packs for medium and heavy electric trucks.

The implied enterprise valuation of "QEV NV" is EUR209m, and approximately EUR23m in capital has been committed to the proposed transaction.

The company posted revenues of EUR 41.7 million in H1 2023. Ebusco’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) was EUR - 43.5 million leading to an overall loss of EUR - 35.8 million.

The new inverter is an overhaul of the old design, making it better suited to commercial vehicle uses and more compliant with the latest cybersecurity requirements; that is according to Manuel Calero, Voith’s new vice president for E-Mobility who came into his role in February 2023.

The Federal Cabinet of Germany has allocated EUR 13.8 billion for E-Mobility funding from 2024 – 2027. The funding will target the advancement of electromobility, which includes the expansion of commercial vehicle charging infrastructure.

Ebusco announced it has signed a framework agreement with Frankfurt Airport operator Fraport to deliver four twelve-metre-long Ebusco 3.0 buses, marking the first time an Ebusco vehicle will be used at an airport.
