Sales for commercial vehicles over 2 tons gvw in East Asia’s seven main markets, excluding China, continued to decline in the second quarter of 2024.

The jury praised the concept of the truck, which was first unveiled at the last IAA Transportation event in 2022: originally called ‘eActros Long Haul’, the idea was to develop a truck capable of covering up to 500 kilometres on a single charge.

Founded in 2020, Volt Mobility provides long-term secured leases for commercial electric vehicles, from last-mile delivery vans to long haulage trucks, to clients in the Persian Gulf region.

This expands the company's national presence by leveraging VTC’s extensive dealership network. The partnership allows VTC to enhance its vocational truck offerings while supporting sales, service, and parts for Battle Motors’ products nationwide​.

With the upcoming IAA Transportation event in Hanover, Germany (September 17-22), just around the corner, a company that is hoping to make a splash is Italian powertrain manufacturer, FPT Industrial (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Iveco Group).

Total production across all categories fell by 3.2% from 145,769 to 141,115, indicating a slight contraction in manufacturing output.

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.

The new Xuanwu battery features in the Farizon Xingxiang V7E light van, which has a driving range of 305 km on a single charge and is aimed at the local delivery sector offering seven cubic metres of cargo capacity and a payload of 1.3 tons.

The agreement is initially for installation of charging bays for customers with cars and light vans and trucks, but also to undertake a feasibility study to add charging equipment for delivery trucks.

This will relieve prohibitive upfront costs for customers whilst improving charging efficiency and energy management as many businesses look to capitalise on Californian state funding to transition fleets to zero emissions.

This blue-chip UK truck show brought hundreds of exhibitors, fleet operators, policymakers, members of the public and of course, the T&BB team.
