The first batch of 12 ‘E12’ buses were revealed in late January to attendees from stakeholders such as Nottingham City Council and electric charging firm Zenobē.

With the announced investment, ZF will hire 400 new workers and prepare the site for a wider range of manufacturing outputs, serving both internal combustion engines and electric powertrains.

The St1 group plans on building more energy stations across the Nordics, with Kempower set to provide all the necessary charging equipment, a potentially lucrative contract for the firm as they look to capitalise on the European EV transition. 

Following the departure of Joe Cappello from the company, Hoefelmann has assumed leadership, overseeing the company’s supply strategy, technology, dispensing, and development, as well as directing Nikola’s hydrogen fuel brand ‘Hyla’. 

The 100 trucks powered by B100 biodiesel are due for delivery starting May this year, and represent a landmark sale in the country.

Throughout 2024, Ballard will supply 100 hydrogen fuel cell engines (FCmove-HD) to power New Flyer’s Xcelsior Charge FC buses in North America. The engines will be produced in Ballard’s Oregon Facility in the U.S.A.

The station boasts a daily capacity for up to 40 Class 8 trucks, including (though not exclusively) Nikola’s own range of fuel cell electric trucks.

Specific testing will evaluate the electric and thermal performance of the HFC in real-world conditions. Ultimately, this is another step in bringing this product to market.

The ‘E-500e’ is powered directly by the vehicle battery and does not require additional investment in a dedicated battery or shore connection module.

Called ‘FH Aero’, the redesigned truck features a cab which has been extended by 24 cm at the front, making it more aerodynamic.

From the middle of this year, Volvo will start offering the FH16 with a new version of the ‘D17’, which it claims is the “strongest engine in the industry”.

The 28,000-square-metre plant is being built in the Jiading Hydrogen Park, within the municipality of Shanghai.
