Depot360 provides a comprehensive service, from initial consultation to depot design, construction, commissioning, and management.

Fuso, Mitsubishi Motors and Mitsubishi Corporation to operate an online platform JV providing information and one-stop services relating to electric vehicles (EV). 

The agreement provides for a series of initiatives, including the construction of electric charging hubs with the Shell Recharge solution in eight Brazilian state capital cities over the next three years starting this year (2024).

The contract for 15 buses is worth over EUR10m and includes the provision of 15 stationary chargers at the depot and two pantograph stations located in the city.

With a charger capable of consistently delivering a megawatt of energy, a typical truck could be recharged from 20% to 80% capacity in half an hour, according to Siemens.

Expansion of a Madrid bus depot means that 260 e-buses can be charged simultaneously. Of the EUR 11.3 million spent, EUR 10.1 million in funding came from the European Union’s “NextGenerationEU” investment fund.

The TransMilenio system in the city of Bogotá, Colombia, claims to have an electric bus fleet of over 1,600 vehicles, the second largest in South America behind Santiago in Chile.

Siemens has launched the 400kW DC SICHARGE D fast charger for the electric HGV market. The charger allows for up to four vehicles to be charged simultaneously using only one grid connection, optimising space and delivering financing savings for Charge Point Operators (CPOs).

Using EasyMile’s autonomous driving technology and Rocsys’ ‘ROC-1’ hands-free charger, the two companies plan to completely automate the process of recharging a self-driving electric vehicle.

Autocar Chairman, Andrew Taitz said that setting up hands-free charging at terminals would improve efficiency and therefore boost productivity in yard operations.

The planned charging station will be located near Varberg, a settlement which lies between the cities of Gothenburg and Malmö and is reportedly a popular stop-off point for hauliers.

The facility houses 65 DC 180kW fast chargers with a capacity to charge 200 electric HGVs a day. Einride claims that this is the largest electric HGV charging station in North America.
