With MAN’s Charge&Go service, drivers can find truck-compatible charging stations and pay with a special card that authenticates the driver and bills the operator at the end of each month.

9,738 new HGVs were registered between January and March, a marked decline from the 11,068 units reported last year.

Mack calls the Allison 3000 a “lighter-weight, low-cost option” compared to the Allison ‘4500 RDS transmission”, the other option for the CNG-fuelled Granite.

The ‘Super 11’ is 85 kilograms lighter than the ‘Super 13’ while delivering a 7% improvement in fuel efficiency compared to the 9-litre version.

Volvo has revealed that the new truck will be able to carry up to eight battery packs, providing up to 780 kilowatt hours of energy capacity.

The two companies announced they would work together to develop a 4x2 prototype heavy truck with a fuel cell driveline supplied by Symbio.

With a maximum battery capacity of 625 kilowatt hours, the Kenworth T880E has a range exceeding 250 miles; the advertised range of the Peterbilt Model 567E is the same, with a re-charging time as low as two hours.

The ‘eRH Series’ is a battery electric truck designed to meet the requirements of regional haul and drayage fleets, offering a range of up to 300 miles.

The hope is that these autonomous operations will stimulate the further expansion of fuel infrastructure for hydrogen trucks, producing a “self-reinforcing cycle of vehicle adoption, infrastructure development, and lower operational costs per unit”.

Designed for applications such as urban construction, regional transport, and operations in areas with strict emissions regulations, the eArocs 400 combines rugged capability with quiet, emissions-free operation.

TRC, an environmental consulting and energy engineering firm has published its sixth market report on the state of sustainable fleets in the United States, providing updates on the development of zero- and low-emission sales in 2024 and on policy changes which will affect the market in 2025. This year’s report arrives in the first few months of a new administration which intends to upturn the consensus on electric vehicles. During the Biden administration, new federal programmes followed preexisting state incentives in supporting the expansion of battery and hydrogen vehicles and infrastructure. Now, the Trump administration seeks to rollback the federal support and target certain state programmes which require federal approval to function. However, the State of Sustainable Fleets 2025 Market Brief predicts that electric vehicle sales will continue to grow in the U.S., in spite of the new administration’s removal of support.

The ‘eTGX’ truck was handed over to logistics group Jacky Perrenot of Saint-Donat-sur-l’Herbasse earlier in April at MAN’s service centre in Lyon.
