These buses are equipped with an Allison Torqmatic fully automatic transmission and a Cummins engine aimed at improving fuel efficiency, reducing emissions and lowering engine noise levels. This contributes to the significant growth in Allison’s export bus sales from China.

Blue Bird has delivered 60, Vision electric school buses to the Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) district in Florida. Each of these vehicles can carry 72 students travelling up to 120 miles on a single charge, taking 3-8 hours to fully recharge depending on the charging infrastructure.

The joint venture, aptly named Greenlane, will design, develop, install, and operate a US-wide, EV public charging and hydrogen refuelling network.

The prototype is based on the Hino ‘XL’ 4x2 configuration, but fitted with a powertrain assembled by Hexagon Purus, including its proprietary battery systems, auxiliary modules, power modules, and control software.

Designed for intracity and short-haul applications, the semi-tractor is powered by fully electric motors, which are in turn powered by a 218-kWh lithium-ion phosphate battery pack. This battery pack provides the truck with 155 miles (249 km) of range and is capable of DC fast-charging in just 90 minutes.

The company is set to supply its high-voltage eFan system to a global commercial vehicle OEM for use in both the European and North American markets, which marks the first eFan system business in North America for BorgWarner.

With the ‘Karno’ generator installed, Hyliion’s ERX powertrain will now work with a range of different fuel sources, such as hydrogen, propane, and ammonia, as well as conventional fuels.

The ‘Lion5’ cab-chassis is categorised by Lion Electric as a Class 5 vehicle, but in fact it is being offered in configurations up to 26,000 lbs gross vehicle weight rating (i.e., the upper limit of Class 6).

Each truck is built on Battle Motors’ electric cab-chassis platform, which is powered by a 500-horsepower ‘Cascadia Motion’ motor supplied by BorgWarner.

The ‘AxTrax 2’ is a follow-up to ZF’s existing line of integrated electric portal axles for buses, delivering 210 kW of continuous power and 26,000 Nm peak output torque.

The ‘W56’ is based on what Workhorse says is its first fully-designed, purpose-built chassis platform to be built from the ground up, offering cargo space exceeding 1,000 cubic feet and a payload of approximately 10,000 lbs.

Voltera will take the lead in identifying suitable locations, building the stations, and operating them, and Nikola will supply them with hydrogen and provide technical support.
