Founded in 2007, TST is primarily known for its tyre pressure monitoring systems for recreational vehicles, though it also serves applications such as agricultural trailers, construction equipment, and commercial transport vehicles.

Greg Marx, Applications Engineer, Power & Propulsion Solutions at BAE Systems, provided an overview of the evolution of fuel cell architecture in transit buses in North America in a presentation at APTA Expo 2023 held in early October in Orlando, Florida, USA.

Starting later this year, with a proposed finish date of 2029, the two doctoral students will aid Volvo in developing the internal combustion engine with hydrogen as a fuel.

Two years’ ago, in 2022, when the PEI Mobility brand was first created, it announced it was diversifying its manufacturing capabilities to design and manufacture complete articulation systems for buses.

The contract, worth over EUR100m, is for 112 units of the ‘Trollino 18’ line of trolleybuses, which will come equipped with in-motion-charging technology that allows for recharging via catenary lines.

It appears that the upgrades at the plant are meant to prepare it for the eventual development of Cummins’ fuel-agnostic engine platform, a series of engines designed to run on fuels such as natural gas and hydrogen and derived from a common base engine.

The contract stipulates a firm order for 250 coaches, slated for delivery between 2025 and 2026.

The company announced that, given ongoing market pressures and the high cost of transitioning to electric vehicles, as well as a slower-than-anticipated development of the market for autonomous shuttles, it could no longer justify the high upfront investments required to further develop its autonomous shuttle.

Perschke has assumed the role of Managing Director at ‘Roqit’, a joint venture between Quantron and Indian tech company Goldstone Technologies.

Voith said in its financial report that the Turbo division crossed the EUR2bn threshold in orders received for the first time in its history.

This real-time monitoring software should enhance battery performance and improve the operational efficiency of the e-buses. The new BDS is set to debut in February 2024 in a range of 51 electric buses rolled out by the transport authority Metrobús, based in Mexico City.

Build it and they will come. This is the approach being taken by the Moroccan government to grow its automotive industry, which is the largest in Africa but still modest by global standards. The kingdom already has major plants owned by Renault and Stellantis, alongside components production from European, American, and Japanese firms.
