DAF’s new generation combustion engine trucks (LF and XD series as well as certain XF, XG and XG+ trucks) are able to use Hydrogen Vegetable Oil (HVO), a biofuel the company claims can reduce CO2 by 90% compared with diesel. For operators, these new generation trucks can utilise HVO without any modifications whilst emulating their performance and service intervals of up to 200,000 kilometres.

Rocsys will use the money to scale up and bring its product - an autonomous charger for electric vehicles - to market in the United States and Europe.

The vehicle will operate in the port of Rotterdam and in order to transport containers, the DAF CF Electric rigid combination is equipped with an electrically driven HIAB hook arm in combination with a 23-metre crane.

The reefer semi-trailer is equipped with a Carrier electric refrigeration system that is powered when the vehicle is stationary by a battery charged by an electric grid connection, and, when in motion, by regenerative braking energy produced by a Valx electric trailer axle, eliminating emissions from the refrigeration equipment.

The contract, with the Swedish public operator, Keolis Sverige, comprises 50 Ebusco 3.0 12-metre e-buses with an option to purchase an additional 75.

Ebusco announced it is to supply German public transport operator Südwestdeutsche Landesverkehrs GmbH (SWEG) with another 25 Ebusco 2.2 12-metre buses after the same company ordered 10 last year which are now in operation.

Björn Krook was previously Ebusco’s Investor Relations & Sustainability Manager and has over 20 years of experience in the banking industry.

Later this year, the vehicles will be deployed at the Kramer City Terminal; the following year, they will begin operating on the Maasvlakte Container Exchange Route as well.

With deliveries scheduled between the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024, the Dutch public transport operator, HTM, has ordered a mixture of both 12 and 18-metre versions of the bus. Having purchased the full “e-package solution,” Daimler will install and manage electric charging points (pantographs) at HTM’s depot in the Hague.

The two XDC 450 8x4s will operate in Greenwich Wharf and will shortly be followed by two identical trucks, which are currently being bodied.

First Bus will convert the York depot by installing new electric charging infrastructure provided by Heliox.

‘Project yDrive’ enlists the help of five different companies, one of which, startup firm Econogy BV of Dronten, is leading the design and development of the trailer axle system itself.
