LG Energy Solution Ltd is to supply 200,000 battery cell modules over a three-year period to Impact Clean Power Technology (ICPT) for heavy-duty battery systems in commercial vehicles and other transportation vehicles.

ICPT perhaps is best described as a developer of energy storage systems for a range of heavy-duty mobile applications, including buses, trams, trolleybuses and industrial vehicles and has to date supplied customers predominantly located in Europe, New Zealand and the USA.

The contract, worth over EUR100m, is for 112 units of the ‘Trollino 18’ line of trolleybuses, which will come equipped with in-motion-charging technology that allows for recharging via catenary lines.

The number of engines ordered by Solaris year-to-date now exceeds 350, representing substantial growth.

The subsidiary of the American trailer components supplier showcased systems for tyre pressure monitoring and solar power generation specifically for semi-trailers.

Based in Brussels, the new joint venture, called 'Ionway', will be responsible for producing precursor and cathode active materials for lithium-ion batteries at scale.

Under the expanded deal, MAN will use protective gases during the precision welding process, and then apply multiple coats: first, cataphoretic paint for corrosion protection, then varnish, and then a final coat of paint.

The 12-metre low-entry Ikarus 120e has an 86-passenger capacity in a 3-door configuration. The 314 kWh LFP battery pack allows for a range of up to 350km (217 miles) on a single charge.

Series production of the Lion’s City E range began at Starachowice, Poland in October 2020.

130 units of the ‘Urbino 12 hydrogen’ line will be delivered over the next few years, the vast majority of which (127) will be delivered to the Metropolitan City of Bologna.

This collaboration is expected to result in faster system integration of vehicle data from various logistics partners and simplifying data processes, intended to optimise fleet management efficiency.

The order from CTM Cagliari comprises a mixture of standard and articulated Urbino electric models: 80 12-metre vehicles and 18 artic vehicles.
