Available on ChargePoint’s Power Link 2000 stations, the system is capable of dispensing 1.2 megawatts (MW), enough electricity to power 1,000 homes. Furthermore, the system supports bidirectional charging capabilities, allowing customers increased flexibility.

BP Pulse will integrate its proprietary charging software (Omega) into EV Connect chargers to more efficiently manage duty cycles, charging times and energy management requirements which, in theory, should minimise vehicle charging times and reduce costs.

Geotab will integrate Rivian’s fleet telematics data into the MyGeotab platform, enabling fleet managers to more accurately optimise fleet performance and plan routes.

Volvo on Demand is the company’s own interpretation of the ‘Truck-as-a-Service’ concept, providing the customer with everything he needs to operate an electric vehicle.

The Japan-based company displayed a combination of battery and fuel cell electric trucks, including two Class 6 models and a Class 8 model, as well as a battery electric van.

REE said it has already begun deliveries of vehicles based on its P7 platform to dealerships in the U.S. and Canada; its order book is currently worth USD50m.

The truck displayed at the show was a ‘Freightliner Cascadia’ 6x2 tractor unit powered by Symbio’s 400-kW ‘StackPack’ fuel cell system - developed for the “H2 Central Valley Express” project.

The power distribution unit is designed to deliver power to all critical loads within an electric vehicle, including traction and auxiliary loads, while protecting electrical and electronic components as well as the vehicle occupants from high voltages.

The Nikola ‘Tre FCEV’ trucks will serve AiLO in drayage operations in the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.

The partners announced that they are already testing the truck in the U.S., being the first Level 4 self-driving test on a Class 8 fuel cell electric truck to take place in the country.

The company says it is introducing “a suite of comprehensive ownership solutions” for its entire line of battery electric vehicles.

After the 2022 edition of ‘Busworld Southeast Asia’, I argued that the divergent priorities of the Indonesian government and the country’s longstanding bus and coach manufacturers were on full display at the show. At this year’s show, held between 15-17 May at the Jakarta International Expo, the domestic manufacturers doubled the number of electric models on show – that is to say, they displayed a total of two electric buses instead of one. The impression I got two years ago of divergent, even opposing, ideas about the future of the market in Indonesia was confirmed by the latest show, which was much larger in scale and well attended following the final removal of all pandemic-era restrictions.
