The project encompasses the deployment of several electric BYD yard tractors equipped with Wave wireless charging (inductive) technology set to be deployed at the customer's distribution centre in Salt Lake City in Q1 2024.

MFTBC said the partnership is part of its “Fuso eMobility Solutions” programme which supports customers’ shift to battery-powered trucks such as the eCanter light-duty truck.

Einride has partnered with American food producer Mars Inc, to provide a fleet of digitally optimised electric heavy-duty trucks across Mars’ European network by 2030.

This acquisition strengthens Hitachi’s (Hitachi Energy’s Grid-eMotion division**) position in the electric mobility sector by expanding its product portfolio and production capacity of its electric vehicle charging equipment.

The St1 group plans on building more energy stations across the Nordics, with Kempower set to provide all the necessary charging equipment, a potentially lucrative contract for the firm as they look to capitalise on the European EV transition. 

Powering America’s Commercial Transportation (PACT) claims it is a new “voice for zero-emission commercial vehicle infrastructure", citing a lack of sufficient charging infrastructure for battery-electric medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.

This real-time monitoring software should enhance battery performance and improve the operational efficiency of the e-buses. The new BDS is set to debut in February 2024 in a range of 51 electric buses rolled out by the transport authority Metrobús, based in Mexico City.

A key focus of the partnership is ensuring smooth communication between the vehicle and the grid via the charging system.

Built for the U.S. Department of Energy’s SuperTruck II programme, the prototype truck, described by Paccar as a “testbed for future product technologies”, was developed in order to improve freight ton efficiency by 100% compared to a 2009 baseline.

Contracted by Kaufland, eight Mercedes-Benz eActros 300 trucks will be used to transport goods from Kaufland’s distribution centre in Möckmühl to ten stores in the Ludwigsburg area. All the vehicles are powered by the Einride Saga intelligent platform (digital freight operating system) to optimise routes, charging needs and achieve the highest utilisation rates.

As the leader in the UK truck market, a comprehensive aftermarket network has been key to the company's success. More than GBP 100 million was spent in 2023 on upgrading dealer premises, including the Adams Morey in Bridgewater, Ford & Slater in Stockton and North West Trucks in Warrington.

According to the Department for Transport, all new sales of cars and vans powered solely by an internal combustion engine (ICE) will be banned by 2035, with heavy-goods vehicles following suit in 2040. This has now become law in the UK, as part of the country's Net Zero Strategy.
