The company’s electric heavy goods division has moved into a new HQ in Brighouse, West Yorkshire, UK.

The operator will reportedly take an initial delivery of 11 vehicles at the end of this year for deployment in the city, while the remaining 35 will follow in 2025 for use in the local Spree-Neiße district.

The ST1 (Service Type 1) battery-powered LCV platform is the name of a new, purpose-designed platform of battery-powered light commercial vehicles from Hyundai for the local delivery market segment.

Valeo has owned the site through its subsidiary, ‘Ferentino Automotive Transition Srl’, since 1974, using it to produce HVAC components for Italian OEMs.

Terberg says that, compared to its predecessor, the YT223CC boasts a redesigned cabin offering improved ergonomics and functionality.

According to Shyft, the vehicle was able to operate on extended 8-10 hour routes under “challenging conditions” during pilot testing, including high temperatures up to 105 degrees Fahrenheit.

The Ebusco 3.0 18-metre articulated city bus is designed for urban and regional transport operations and has a capacity for 150 passengers. It is powered with a choice of cobalt-free LFP 350+ and 500+ kWh battery packs, offering a range of up to  700 km.

Production is slated to begin in 2025 at the Iveco bus plant in Vysoké Myto, Czech Republic. Available in three lengths (10.7,  12, 13 metres, pop and LINE versions), the bus is compatible with XTL (X-To-Liquid) renewable fuels.

Peterbilt’s new system, called ‘Digital Vision System-Mirrors’ (DVS-M), employs three high dynamic range or HDR cameras on the driver and passenger sides of the cab.

With series production expected late this year, Daimler has launched eActros 600 customer trials in Germany. These tests provide valuable real-world feedback not only on the truck but also on the reliability of the public charging infrastructure/network.

The plan is to start mass production of a battery-powered version of the Hilux pickup truck for Thailand and for export.

The basic idea is to turn large-sized cargo vans into “mobile micro-depots” from which cargo bikes can collect and deliver goods during the last mile.
