The truck was driven by an internal combustion engine fitted with Westport’s ‘H2 HPDI’ system, which enables it to run optimally with hydrogen fuel instead of diesel.

Chief Commercial Officer Eric Baleviez announced to the press at Busworld that groundbreaking on a new plant in Albi would happen either later this year or early next year.

A pilot scheme involving four Wrightbus ‘Hydroliners’ will start early next year, transporting workers to and from the construction site near Leiston.

As head of Nikola’s energy division, Cappello will direct the company’s ‘Hyla’ brand, which is involved in the production and distribution of hydrogen for fuelling purposes.

The onboard engines are modified to run on LNG with Westport’s high-pressure direct injection (HPDI) system.

The biomethane bus trial in Londrina is the third demonstration by Compagas and Scania in 2023; the first being in the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba, and then in the capital city of Curitiba.

Scania is offering a range of commercial vehicles powered by gas engines that can run on natural gas and biomethane in Brazil as well as in Colombia.

The plant is responsible for producing biomethane from agricultural waste from surrounding farms.

Chairman, Indian Oil, said: "The collaboration with an Indian biofuel major – Praj, ... will strengthen our resolve to achieve our goal of net-zero operational emissions by 2046 and maintain our leadership in the green energy domain.”

This new and expanded alliance – which builds on an agreement signed in 2021 – will extend to “renewable gasoline blends, biodiesel and renewable diesel” as well as hydrogen and renewable natural gas.

DAF’s new generation combustion engine trucks (LF and XD series as well as certain XF, XG and XG+ trucks) are able to use Hydrogen Vegetable Oil (HVO), a biofuel the company claims can reduce CO2 by 90% compared with diesel. For operators, these new generation trucks can utilise HVO without any modifications whilst emulating their performance and service intervals of up to 200,000 kilometres.

The new generation Setra MultiClass 500 LE series comes in four models, ranging in length from 10.51 to 14.52 metres on two as well as three axles. Daimler states it has been designed for a wide range of applications, from peri-urban to long-distance inter-city transport in sparsely populated regions.

DTNA launches its Class 8 Freightliner Cascadia Day Cab (116 in. BBC), paired with the Cummins ISX12N engine and the new Allison 3414 Regional Haul Series automatic transmission.

This initiative is part of Scania's short term (2025) global sustainability goals.

In March, the Brazilian Government in capitol city of Brasília, agreed the launch of a Methane Reduction Programme under an agreement called the Special Regime of Incentives for the Development of Infrastructure (REIDI) to encourage production and sustainable use of biomethane in Brazil.

The U.S. government passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, committing an additional USD39bn to decarbonising public transit and USD7.5bn to building charging infrastructure.
