The Karsan Level 4 autonomous e-ATAK is set to start carrying passengers in Gothenburg between the Central Station and Liseberg Station in August 2025.

The new generation eO500U chassis is fitted with new NMC3 batteries, the same used in Mercedes-Benz eCitaro buses in Europe.

HDA Truck Pride will sell WABCO products across its 140-plus independent heavy parts distributors and service providers who supply to the North American CV aftermarket.

The Yutong T75e will come with an energy capacity of either 100 or 132 kilowatt hours, with the latter option providing a range of over 180 miles.

While the exact financial details of this investment have not been publicly disclosed, it is part of HVS's ongoing efforts to attract outside investment after the company announced last year it was desperately seeking Series B funding as it slimmed down operations of its attribute prototype (AP) build.

T&BB spoke to Vanessa Kelly, Head of Corporate Relations of HVS at Cenex 2024 to learn that HVS is entering another funding (Series B) round in October this year as the engineers continue to forge ahead with its attribute prototype (AP) build.

The Series B investments bring the Canadian startup’s total invested capital to USD280m.

The investment will fund the further development of Range Energy’s electric axle technology for semi-trailers, which can reduce fuel consumption in a diesel tractor-trailer combo or energy consumption in a fully-electric one.
