Cojali plans to bring its latest diagnostics and telematics systems from its brand, Jaltest Telematics, to Automechanika 2024, set to be hosted in Frankfurt from September 10 – 14.

Media reports from 4 July were corroborated by an announcement on Sunsundegui’s website; T&BB reached out to Volvo, which confirmed the reports but provided no further comment.

The new warehouse is intended to improve logistics and production at the site, where aluminium doors, automatic door systems, and ramps and lifts are made for buses, coaches, and trains.

Although it is integrating aspects of the two data platforms, Schmitz says AGS will continue to operate independently on the cold chain telematics market.

Irizar announced that Belgian transport operator De Lijn has ordered up to 100 ie tram electric buses, which will operate in Flanders.

Expansion of a Madrid bus depot means that 260 e-buses can be charged simultaneously. Of the EUR 11.3 million spent, EUR 10.1 million in funding came from the European Union’s “NextGenerationEU” investment fund.

The new warehouse investment has been a result of significant and sustained growth in the Asia Pacific market as the company looks to drive future growth.

Irizar announced that UK transport operator the Go-Ahead Group has ordered 28 ie tram electric buses, which will operate as part of Kent’s “Fastrack service” on its BRT line in November of this year.

The total number of city buses with alternative drivelines in European Union 27 countries plus the UK, Norway (NO), Iceland (ICE) and Switzerland (EU 27+4) totalled 13,466 units  comprising 6,354 electric buses (excludes trolley buses), 4,022 hybrid-electric buses, 2,883 CNG buses and 207, hydrogen (fuel cell) buses.

These 'S.KO COOL' reefers are installed with Schmitz’s ‘S.CU d80’ transport refrigeration units as well as its ‘TrailerConnect’ telematics hardware.

In December, four Catalan public transport companies tested the 7-metre ‘eC24s’ in the Barcelona metropolitan area.

The 231-strong order will be delivered to the Canary Islands in batches over the next two years.
