This marks a key milestone for Ceres, as it signals the first royalty-generating manufacturing of its high-efficiency fuel cell stacks in Asia.

This strategic partnership aims to expand zero-emission transport options by retrofitting existing diesel buses with modular electric drivetrains, offering a cost-effective and rapid pathway to fleet decarbonisation.

The programme was created in response to a growing shortage of qualified refrigeration engineers, especially as the industry transitions toward electric and sustainable cooling technologies.

The result of this partnership is a bespoke lightweight, recyclable motor that is now a commercial product for trailer electrification.

This investment forms part of First Bus’s strategy to achieve a zero-emission fleet by 2035 and supports Bristol’s wider clean air goals.

Located at one of the UK’s busiest multi-modal logistics hubs, the facility will serve more than 60 commercial fleet operators based at the port, as well as numerous HGVs passing through, with daily traffic estimated between 3,000 and 6,000 vehicles!

By broadening the size offering, Bandvulc aims to serve fleets that handle more demanding urban waste assignments with greater load demands and rugged terrain exposure.

Although it is today a manufacturer of various electric products – including e-powertrains, battery packs, and electrolysers – American engine manufacturer Cummins Inc is also concerned about regulation that focuses only on tailpipe emissions rather than a holistic well-to-wheels approach. In a previous conversation with Truck & Bus Builder, Bill Lamb, director of Cummins’ engine business platform strategy, noted that, with the current rate of battery-electric truck adoption, commercial vehicle manufacturers will find it extremely challenging to meet future CO2 emissions reduction targets without the help of two alternatives to pure electric: hybrid and biofuels. We met again at the recent Road Transport Expo, held between 24-26 June at NAEC Stoneleigh, to discuss not only alternatives to electric but also Cummins’ progress towards Euro 7.

The newly created role supports Luxfer’s global expansion in hydrogen and CNG mobility, as demand for clean fuel storage systems continues to grow.

The collaboration will focus on implementing advanced digital tools, primarily Salesforce platforms, to streamline Asset Alliance Group’s client onboarding, customer service, and leasing lifecycle management.
