The agreement is initially for installation of charging bays for customers with cars and light vans and trucks, but also to undertake a feasibility study to add charging equipment for delivery trucks.

This blue-chip UK truck show brought hundreds of exhibitors, fleet operators, policymakers, members of the public and of course, the T&BB team.

The truck charging site will be located specifically within the bounds of the Able Humber Port, just north of Immingham on the southern bank of the Humber estuary in northeastern England.

Eight operators will benefit from the success of a bid made by charging-as-a-service firm Zenobē, including major fleets such as Stagecoach and McGill’s Buses.

The orders came from Stagecoach Group and FirstGroup which has placed the largest single order (169 units) for Yutong electric buses in the UK to date.

Wrightbus has chosen the Zen Plus batteries due to their high energy density (180 Wh/kg) and long cycle life (5,000). The Zen Plus battery utilises a 77 kWh NMC lithium-ion cells.

The workshop caters for both ICE and e-vans of all brands, including the repair of batteries. Thirty new jobs have been created along with the installation of eight EV chargers for customers.

The LSTs are the sixth-generation design which Tiger has produced for AO over the last nine years.

After NewPower successfully converted two diesel buses to run on battery electric for First Bus, the operator placed an order for a further thirty buses.

The aim is to target a module level of efficiency of less than 36kWh/kg and drive down the price, making it much more competitive as an alternative fuel/energy option in sectors such as heavy transportation.

The administrators (ReSolve Advisory Ltd) announced that after this failure, the majority of the staff have been made redundant as the company prepares for an asset auction.

This, according to Ceres, will help lead to the scale and speed of the development of new zero-emission technologies and help the company develop its fuel cell technologies for power generation and electrolysers for green hydrogen.
