The ‘FM Low Entry’ is a 19-32 tonne (GVW) truck which is intended for urban use in distribution, waste, and construction applications.

The importance of fire suppression systems in vehicles can be seen first-hand in January this year, with an electric double-decker bus catching fire in Wimbledon, UK.

The money will serve two purposes: it will expand the production of cathode materials and battery cells in the gigafactory, and it will expand the capabilities of the adjacent recycling plant.

Starting later this year, with a proposed finish date of 2029, the two doctoral students will aid Volvo in developing the internal combustion engine with hydrogen as a fuel.

The prototype truck, which hauled a full trailer in the Swedish town of Älmhult, was installed with Westport’s ‘H2 HPDI’, a high-pressure direct injection system which allows an internal combustion engine to run on hydrogen.

The Hedin Mobility Group is purchasing the dealership and retail services network in the Nordic countries in Sweden (Gothenburg, Helsingborg and Malmö), Norway (Bærum), Finland (Espoo) and Denmark (Odense).

Contracted by Kaufland, eight Mercedes-Benz eActros 300 trucks will be used to transport goods from Kaufland’s distribution centre in Möckmühl to ten stores in the Ludwigsburg area. All the vehicles are powered by the Einride Saga intelligent platform (digital freight operating system) to optimise routes, charging needs and achieve the highest utilisation rates.

The pilot vehicle is a Marcopolo-bodied bus with a Scania chassis capable of running on biodiesel from locally-sourced waste, such as animal manure and other agricultural waste.

With natural gas derived from renewable sources (such as waste), customers can cut their carbon emissions by up to 90%.

The steel will be produced using SSAB’s ‘Hybrit’ technology, developed over the past seven years together with state-owned mining and energy companies, LKAB and Vattenfall AB.

There are two parts of the station, the Charge & Go for fast charging and Charge & Park for overnight charging. The fast-charging segment has charging points with output up to 240 kW and the overnight charging section, with output up to 160 kW.
