Before the sale, Bosch held 33,790,880 shares, or approximately 17.4 % of the company. After the transaction, it will retain 27,396,115 shares, equivalent to 14.1 %, with the retained portion subject to a 60-day lock-up period unless waived.

The sale aligns with JM’s strategy to streamline its portfolio and focus on core growth areas such as hydrogen technologies and emissions control for commercial vehicles.

For the operator, this strategy extends vehicles' lifecycles and dramatically reduces carbon emissions whilst decreasing the total cost of ownership for the bus.

This project is significant because it brings cost-effective green hydrogen closer to commercial reality, with Ceres still targeting a production cost of USD 1.5/kg by 2025.

The front of the vehicle has been redesigned, featuring a new “Sky View” windscreen that eliminates the cab header panel and replaces it with glass.

Last year, Britain was the largest market for electric buses in Europe, a position that it owes in large part to a small company in the Yorkshire town of Castleford. In 2013, Pelican was appointed as the official UK and Ireland importer for Chinese manufacturer Yutong and began selling its buses and coaches; in 2020, the first battery electric Yutong vehicles were deployed in Britain. In the last decade, 2,000 Yutong vehicles were sold through Pelican, of which over 800 are fully electric. For those familiar with Pelican solely as an importer of buses and coaches, the company’s announcement that it would introduce a medium-duty truck may have come as a surprise. In fact, as I learned on a recent trip to the company’s premises in the north of England, the decision to enter the electric truck market represents a return to Pelican’s roots as the oldest family-owned truck dealership still in operation in Britain.

The AI Low Bridge Detection System is manufactured at Durite’s headquarters in Essex, where the company designs, assembles, and distributes more than 5,000 vehicle safety and electrical products. These include camera kits, DVRs, telematics units, lighting systems, wiring components, and fleet compliance solutions for the UK and Irish markets.

This investment signals a major investment in electrified transportation solutions. Shell’s technology centre will test supplier agnostic charging systems to ensure the systems are safe and robust in extreme conditions before roll-out.

The subsidiary of Swedish manufacturer AB Volvo is partnering with Middlesex University, based in Greater London, to put on a three-year course that will combine classroom study with on-the-job experience.

At RTX 2025, Aegis used the industry spotlight to announce the Trailblazers initiative, share its rollout schedule, and engage directly with commercial vehicle operators on the challenges of transitioning to clean energy.

These launches underline Iveco’s  commitment to low and zero emissions solutions for the UK market.

In the two month period before RTX, Certas Energy added six new HVO supply points, bringing the total depots to 28 across the UK, with more to follow.
