Oberwörder succeeds Domenico Nucera, the former President of Iveco Bus.

The Duvenbeck Group has ordered 50 units of Farizon’s heavy-duty battery electric Homtruck, with the potential of larger orders in the future. This marks Farizon’s entry into Europe, as it plans to bring its SV Electric van to the UK and Europe later this year.

Renault Trucks announced that, as it fulfilled this order, it passed a milestone of 2,000 electric trucks produced at its factory in Blainville-sur-Orne.
