FAW Jiefang steps up development of New Energy Commercial Vehicles (NECVs).

These 85 low- and zero-emission trucks make up almost 10% of the retailer’s total fleet.

The remaining vans are pending delivery due to production delays at General Motors' CAMI Assembly Plant in Ontario, Canada. According to GM, production was halted from October 2023 until spring 2024 because of battery module supply issues. Operations then resumed in April 2024, with the plant working to fulfil a backlog of orders.

The Duvenbeck Group has ordered 50 units of Farizon’s heavy-duty battery electric Homtruck, with the potential of larger orders in the future. This marks Farizon’s entry into Europe, as it plans to bring its SV Electric van to the UK and Europe later this year.

Renault Trucks announced that, as it fulfilled this order, it passed a milestone of 2,000 electric trucks produced at its factory in Blainville-sur-Orne.

The bus in question is a battery-electric Volvo, which was handed over to the public transport authority of Perth in Western Australia as part of an order for 18 buses announced last year.

Škoda says the value of the contract, including comprehensive service and maintenance up to 400,000 kilometres, exceeds EUR50m.

The automated terminal tractors will enter service in the first quarter of 2027 at Maasvlakte 2, an extension of the Port of Rotterdam and an ongoing construction project which was opened in 2013.

Delivery will start in Q1 2025 with production set to take place in Zhejiang, China. The company views this as a pivotal milestone that not only reinforces its presence in Japan but also sets the stage for additional orders and expanded market share.

These buses have been integrated into the fleet of Verkehrsbetriebe Hamburg-Holstein (VHH), a major public transport operator in the area. Furthermore, Daimler announced that 350 more units had been ordered by the other operator managing Hamburg’s network, Hochbahn.

Initially, the eSprinter will be sold in truck, van and passenger van versions at GVWs of between 3.5 and 4.25 tonnes.

The Volterra ZFL, like the ZSL, is a fully-integrated waste collection truck, built from the ground up as an electric vehicle.
