Gillig has apparently bought the former Lightning eMotors site in Loveland, Colorado, and it will retain some of the company's engineers in order to turn it into a dedicated electric powertrain technology hub. 

Allison is set to supply Oshkosh Corporation with electric axles for North America’s first fully integrated electric refuse vehicle, the McNeilus Volterra ZSL.

CEO and founder, Ali Javidan, said that establishing the advisory council is “a major milestone for Range as we bring our electric trailers to the commercial trucking market”. 

The e-Sys is an electric energy recovery and auxiliary traction system developed exclusively by Randoncorp subsidiaries. The Mexican market, according to Suspensys, on average is 25,000 new semi-trailers per year, and is the second largest in Latin America, behind Brazil.

ICPT perhaps is best described as a developer of energy storage systems for a range of heavy-duty mobile applications, including buses, trams, trolleybuses and industrial vehicles and has to date supplied customers predominantly located in Europe, New Zealand and the USA.

Under the Exro name, the combined company will supply e-powertrains to original equipment manufacturers in the passenger car and commercial vehicle segments.

Idem customers using its fleet management platform now have access to data collected from Thermo King products, including its refrigeration units and its ‘AxlePower’ energy recovery and storage system.

The test was conducted by Mesilla Valley Transportation Solutions (MVTS) of Las Cruces, New Mexico on a 25.5-mile route, comprising urban and highway roads.

Power inverters are essential to provide traction motors with power from batteries and most buses use two-level power inverters. David Segbers, eMobility Traction Product Manager at ABB explains how upgrading to new three-level inverters boost efficiency, power output and reliability.

The capital is to be invested in its factory in the North East of the UK, creating 40 new jobs over the next two years. According to AEM, the capital will enable the company to start producing copper-free EV motors for both passenger and commercial vehicles. 

On the stand BAE Systems displayed its current family of motors and inverters; these included the GPM-10 and GPM-12 direct drive motors alongside a GPM-5 motor with an Eaton MD4 (Medium-Duty 4-speed) gearbox, as well as the MAPS*, MPCS**, and GPI-10 inverters.

The plan is to work together to ensure industry-leading vehicle engineering, data integration and safety features are incorporated in these buses.
