By the end of the year, MAN aims to complete construction of a new 52,650-square-metre building, with a capacity of up to 40,000 commercial vehicle parts.

Continental will build initial versions of the hardware as well as test, prototype and validate Aurora’s technology before it starts production at its facility in New Braunfels, Texas, USA.

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

Hexagon has supplied Ford Trucks with a complete hydrogen fuel storage system for the development of a fuel-cell electric-powered truck (F-Max FCEV) prototype. As a partner in the project, Ford Trucks will develop and deliver the F-Max FCEV, which will operate as part of a larger fleet of zero-emission trucks collecting data from around Europe.

The project’s explicit goal is to “reduce the overall time and cost of battery production by at least 20%, in addition to lowering the number of physical experiments required and reducing material costs.” This will ultimately increase the competitiveness of the European battery industry.  

The front independent axle aims to increase the efficiency, balance and structure of the electric vehicles.

T&BB has been in contact with the accounting firm, Ernst & Young (EY) who is handling the administration process.

Order volumes have not been disclosed but we do know that the battery pack cells will utilise an LFP chemistry, specifically tailored for the long-distance travel demands of electric city buses.  

The strategic investors include Mitsui, Hy24, and Hexagon Composites. This will help fund upcoming investments, including expanding its hydrogen fuel storage tank factory in Weeze, Germany.

The valve cap sensor is screwed directly onto the valve of a bus, truck or trailer tyre and measures the tyre pressure in real time. The data is accessed through the ContiConnect tyre app. This entry-level valve cap solution allows fleet managers quicker and easier tyre management, saving time and boosting profitability.

Valued at GBP 9 billion just three years ago, it has been a tumultuous time for the OEM, whose shares were delisted from the Nasdaq stock market on January 30, 2024, due to non-compliance. With 400 jobs at risk, the business will now look to sell off any and every asset it can, in order to pay back its creditors.

The new battery electric eSprinter now boasts a range of up to 440 kilometres, thanks to an updated powertrain with an electric axle and lithium iron phosphate batteries.
