The TX-12 PRO automated transmission is now available with the heavy-duty Peterbilt Model 567 and 579 and the Kenworth T680 and T880.

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

Multinational tech company Nvidia has announced it is supplying its next-generation automotive computer architecture – boasting a processing power of up to 2,000 teraflops – to multiple OEMs and developers of autonomous driving technologies, including Plus and Waabi.

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.

Using a prototype charger developed together with the e-mobility division of ABB, MAN charged up its ‘eTruck’ with more than 700 kW of power and an electric current of 1,000 amps.

‘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 rebranded firm has elected to focus instead on military contracts and off-highway commercial trucks, which it believes will carry fewer risks and provide quicker returns on investment. 

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.

The buses will be delivered to the New York City Transit Authority, which is part of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

Plus says that on-road testing of Traton trucks installed with its ‘SuperDrive’ Level 4 autonomous driving technology has already begun in the USA and Sweden.

The new model is a battery electric version of the longstanding ‘8900’ range, designed for extended city, intercity, and commuter operations.
