Massey Motor Freight of Nacogdoches, Texas acquired the 100,000th model, a limited-release ‘Model 389X’ special edition vehicle.

The project aims to build a commercially competitive 44-tonne proof of concept Hydrogen Fuel Cell (HFC) heavy goods tractor unit. With funding from the UK’s Advanced Propulsion Centre, project ICEBreaker is set to begin next month (October 2023) with the aim of developing lighter, more efficient hydrogen fuel cell Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) with a lower cost of ownership.

The Ghent factory is assembling battery electric versions of the heavy-duty FH, FM, and FMX ranges on the same production line as the diesel and natural gas ones.

The vehicle shown was a 26-tonne ‘E-Tech D Wide’ 6x2 chassis with inward folding "bus-style" doors and low step height.

A European customer has now taken five vehicles, and Quantron’s CEO, Michael Perschke, said its orders amount to up to 100 units.

The FH – standing for ‘Forward control High entry’ – was launched to replace the ‘F’ series of trucks which had been in production for over 15 years.

Sales of medium and heavy-duty rigid trucks (7.5t gvw and above) in India experienced a contraction of 10.4% in Q1 (April-June) of FY2023-24 to register 52,356 units, down from 58,443 units in same quarter of the year 2022-23.

There are now seven autonomous FH trucks operating at the site, managed remotely via a touch screen in the wheel loader. 

Designed for the global market, the concept electric truck showcases Tresa's take on industrial design, axial flux powertrain and safe battery packs for medium and heavy electric trucks.

The onboard engines are modified to run on LNG with Westport’s high-pressure direct injection (HPDI) system.

With 100 or so single temperature trailers operating in the UK, Tiger Trailers is now offering the market a tri-temperature version.
