The LNG agreement is seen as the first and important step towards creating the largest road logistics corridor in Brazil, with a focus on reducing CO2 emissions; initially it will focus on the North and North East of the country.

Sojitz Fuso said the Canter Modern PUV Class 2 aims to provide a reliable, durable and efficient transportation solution to Philippine commuters.

Isuzu said its new PUV was developed to support the Philippine Department of Transportation’s PUV Modernization Programme (PUVMP), which aims to replace the ageing fleet of “jeepney” public transport vehicles across the Philippines.

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.

February saw PepsiCo take delivery of its first electric heavy-duty truck in Brazil; a semi-heavy rigid (15t ≤ gvw up to 40 tons) P25 6x2 Scania truck, produced in Sweden, which is to be used for internal logistics goods distribution operations between PepsiCo’s four factories* in the state of São Paulo.

Due to the next-generation battery technology supplied by Polish battery company Impact Clean Power Technology, ADL has increased its “warrantable energy throughput” of its next-gen electric buses (Enviro400EV and Enviro100EV).

The first vehicle is being tested over 2,500 kilometres on the streets of Plzeň, after which it will be delivered to the customer later this year.

As part of the agreement Isuzu states it will make a substantial investment in the local Nagoya-based autonomous driving technology company.

ADL launched its next-generation electric Enviro400EV double-decker in late 2023. Stagecoach ordered 55 units, with full delivery over the course of 2024. The buses will operate in Oxford's low-emission Smart Zone.

‘Renault Trucks City’ – a service outlet operated by the company’s dealership in the nearby commune of Corbas – will provide maintenance and repair services for medium-duty trucks and light commercial vehicles operated by its customers in the local area.

The manufacturer is now offering a 6x4 tandem bogie axle configuration, meaning that customers can have an electric truck fitted with a tipper body or construction equipment such as hook lifts or concrete mixers.

The company received an order for 16 units of its lighTram Tosa double-articulating trolleybus from the Italian city of Vicenza thanks to EUR 19 million in state funding to local transport company SVT, who plan to deploy the fleet on the LAM Rossa line in 2027.
