Nissens will expand its portfolio with an initial range of fifteen EGR coolers that cater for thirty-seven original equipment (OE) part numbers, covering several truck and bus applications with Euro IV, V, and VI engines.

With a passenger capacity of 84, this electric bus is more compact and is designed for tight urban spaces while offering emission-free transportation. Available in two or three-door configurations, the bus retains the features of the standard (12m) eCitaro (but is 1.5 metres shorter), including the electric drivetrain and customisable battery configurations, which provide flexibility for various city transit needs.

During the IAA, Iveco unveiled the S-eWay Rigid, a heavy-duty battery-electric truck with a range of up to 400 km designed for urban and regional transport.

The vehicle offers a maximum payload of 6,600 kilograms and a range of up to 235 kilometres, which can be recharged in half an hour when connected to a 250-kW charging station.

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.

The ’CoacH2’ project, worth GBP1.2m and including partners such as Translink and Queen’s University Belfast, aims to produce an electric vehicle which can meet the demands of coach operation, including heavy payloads and long-distance routes.

This product is a significant upgrade to its heavy-duty electric motor technology with the new HTM-3500 motor, doubling the continuous power output of its predecessor.

The BMS is designed to maximise the efficiency and performance of the batteries while being cost-effective, helping manufacturers reduce the overall costs of vehicle development​.

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.
