The planned charging station will be located near Varberg, a settlement which lies between the cities of Gothenburg and Malmö and is reportedly a popular stop-off point for hauliers.

The facility houses 65 DC 180kW fast chargers with a capacity to charge 200 electric HGVs a day. Einride claims that this is the largest electric HGV charging station in North America.

The 60 GWh gigafactory, called ‘Northvolt Drei’, is being built in the town of Heide in Schleswig-Holstein.

Longstanding investors in the vehicle connectivity firm include Cummins, Daimler Truck North America, and Paccar.

“The 5,000 Hydrogen Vehicle Challenge”, a government programme which supported the development of the fuel station, says the opening of the station on Highway 2 marked a “significant milestone” in its project to put 5,000 hydrogen or dual fuel vehicles on the road in Alberta province.

When combined with SKF’s ‘Hybrid’ ceramic ball bearings, the ‘Conductive’ brush ring can reduce the negative effects of parasitic currents which circulate between stator windings and the other components.

With Google Cloud generative AI, Valeo will overhaul its processes for vehicle component design, production, and integration, as well as its quality assurance and customer services.

It is designed for commercial vehicle fuel cell engines (150-200 kW) but can also be applied to larger engines (240-260 kW) under turbine energy recovery.

Volvo NA has not divulged the location of the newly announced plant in Mexico, but it will reportedly cover 1.7m square feet when it is opened for production in two years’ time.

The Department of Energy claims that, by funding these projects, it will facilitate the production of up to 50,000 new medium- and heavy-duty trucks and the supply of enough hydrogen to fuel nearly 170,000 long haul trucks in a single year.

The truck is travelling over 10,000 kilometres between April and July, making 60 stops in 7 European countries.

Delta claims that its new 500kW DC fast EV charger (UFC 500) can fully charge a 460 kW powered electric truck/bus within two hours, whilst simultaneously charging two EVs at up to 250kW each. The USP, according to Delta, is the power ratio versus its compactness/footprint ratio. This is largely due to the patented internal circuit topology.
