The Euro VI engine's maximum torque has been increased by 50 (to 150 Nm) and offers lower fuel consumption and longer time between service intervals than previous generations due to high torque and low revs. The new powertrains are able to run on HVO biodiesel.

Cummins said the acquisition would secure long-term access to the technology and facilities required by Cummins Emissions Solutions to meet the demand for low-emission products.

This deal will involve integrating the real-time trailer generated by Krone's telematics system with the TIP trailer telematics software to produce more reliable data.

The planned factory will be built in the Rijnmond region of the Netherlands before 2026 and will allow the Dutch startup to scale up production of its fuel cell systems to 1,000 units annually.

Intellectual property, offices, and testing facilities based in Apeldoorn, Netherlands have now been transferred to ConMet, and former staff associated with the heavy-duty motor development have moved to ConMet as well.

The vehicle presented at the show was a first demonstrator, but Schaeffler and VDL have plans to produce more, with the aim of commencing customer pilots in Germany in 2025.

The new truck will go into production in Q4 2023 at the DAF factory in Eindhoven. The vehicles are equipped with a powerful e-motor offering nominal power in 120kW or 190kW ratings and a nominal torque rating of 950 and 1,850Nm respectively (2,600 and 3,500Nm peak performance).  

Siemens said that the acquisition, which would merge Heliox into its existing eMobility portfolio of charging products, will expand its coverage to DC fast chargers for trucks and buses.

The implied enterprise valuation of "QEV NV" is EUR209m, and approximately EUR23m in capital has been committed to the proposed transaction.

The company posted revenues of EUR 41.7 million in H1 2023. Ebusco’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) was EUR - 43.5 million leading to an overall loss of EUR - 35.8 million.

Ebusco announced it has signed a framework agreement with Frankfurt Airport operator Fraport to deliver four twelve-metre-long Ebusco 3.0 buses, marking the first time an Ebusco vehicle will be used at an airport.

In the first half of 2023, Ebusco delivered fewer buses than expected and the penalties for delays impacted the financial performance of the company. This was due to supply chain disruptions and labour shortages.
