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.

The company has signed a framework agreement with Norwegian food retailer, ASKO, to build fast-charging infrastructure for its electric trucks at its 13 logistics depots in various parts of Norway.

Kempower is currently establishing an electric vehicle (EV) charging station production facility in Durham, North Carolina, the United States. Joyce will oversee this project as well as the strategy to grow the company throughout North America.

Starting in January 2025, the Urbasolar group will supply Keolis with an annual 18 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity generated at French solar farms. This will allow Keolis to supplement its energy supply at a fixed, long-term price, whilst reducing its CO2 emissions by an estimated 290 tonnes of per year.

The project is to bring together the new Fuso eCanter, which was launched earlier this year, and Ample’s Modular Battery Swapping technology. The eCanter is to be installed with modular batteries that can be automatically exchanged at Ample battery swapping stations in a targeted time of five minutes.

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 company has signed a European sales and service agreement with German EV charging service provider GP Joule Connect, for Germany, Denmark, Austria, and Poland. Kempower will be responsible for the installation, operation, service and maintenance of its EV charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, which also include CVs.

Go-Ahead will operate one of the UK’s biggest bus charging depots with electric charging infrastructure provided by Zenobe.

Under the agreement, charging stations for Commercial Vehicles (CVs) will be placed every 120km along the EU’s main highways by 2028, whilst hydrogen refuelling stations will be installed at least every 200km by 2031.

Rocsys will use the money to scale up and bring its product - an autonomous charger for electric vehicles - to market in the United States and Europe.

The two firms hold an equal share in the new company, named ‘PO-Rein’, whose aim is to manufacture high-pressure hydrogen storage systems for the Chinese commercial vehicle market.
