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 6-metre bus will serve in Ebbsfleet Valley, an area of major urban development between the Kentish towns of Dartford and Gravesend.

Available as a 9-tonne, 11-tonne, or 15-tonne truck, the new Atlas range is fitted with driver and passenger airbags, which Otokar claims is a first for its segment in the Turkish market.

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.

The truck in question was a Volvo ‘FM Electric’ 8x4 rigid with a tag tridem configuration, mounted with an ‘eBSF’ concrete pump, with a reach of 42 metres, installed by Putzmeister.

At the event, the company announced that it plans to commence commercial availability of the propane-powered stripped chassis in the second quarter of 2026.

An ‘eTGX’ tractor unit will be put on the road, pulling DPD semi-trailers on a route from the firm’s delivery hub in Hinckley in central England.

The group - including the DAF, Kenworth, and Peterbilt truck brands - achieved total revenues of USD33,663.8m in 2024.

The millionth truck was a diesel ‘Renault Trucks T’, a heavy-duty model which will be used by Portuguese haulier TJA.

The new truck – apparently a rebadged variant of the model year 2025 ‘VNL’ – features improvements focused on driver comfort, vehicle safety, and aerodynamics.
