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.

With inputs such as organic residues from farmland, municipal waste, and industry, Blueflux Energy claims it can produce green hydrogen – together with synthesis gas, peat substitutes, and biogas – through a process which takes two hours.

At the show, Hyvia presented a Renault Master van with fuel cell electric driveline which was converted into a workshop vehicle by Kollé of Santeny.

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. 

Following the departure of Joe Cappello from the company, Hoefelmann has assumed leadership, overseeing the company’s supply strategy, technology, dispensing, and development, as well as directing Nikola’s hydrogen fuel brand ‘Hyla’. 

The station boasts a daily capacity for up to 40 Class 8 trucks, including (though not exclusively) Nikola’s own range of fuel cell electric trucks.

The 28,000-square-metre plant is being built in the Jiading Hydrogen Park, within the municipality of Shanghai.

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 “ultra” low-emission method of producing hydrogen can make enough in one day, with a 16-ton system, to fuel a Class 8 truck for 3,000 miles, FusionOne claims.

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.
