The 407,000-sq-ft facility, referred to as the ‘Plug Vista’ facility, reportedly features advanced automation, allowing for greatly increased scale and efficiency in the assembly of fuel cell systems for applications such as trucks.

The reductions to fuel consumption in the next-generation of H3-45 intercity coaches have been largely achieved by changes to the exterior which make the vehicle more aerodynamic.

The new virtual fleet planner provides fleet managers with a customised operating cost analysis and carbon metrics for their electric vehicle fleet.

The two companies have agreed to collaborate in the development of large-scale green hydrogen projects in the U.S., but have so far released no concrete details as to their plans.

The ‘eyewatering’ USD480 million project involves demolishing the existing bus depot and building a new one 272 standard bus equivalent parking bays with charging access, three bus washing lanes, two chassis washing stations, an interior bus washing station, fifteen maintenance bays, rooftop bus parking and a three-story administrative building.

The companies agreed to test Nikola’s Class 8 battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell trucks at Allison’s 60,000-square-foot vehicle electrification and environmental test centre in Indianapolis, USA.

The 700-bar hydrogen mobile fueller, which was developed in-house, will go out and serve multiple customers of Nikola's fuel-cell electric trucks back-to-back.

The move is a cost-cutting measure which will allow Proterra to concentrate its manufacturing activities at its two sites in South Carolina.

The 9,500 square metre (sqm) plant will employ 150 staff and become the focal point of a global network of gigafactories based on its “cradle-to-cradle” circular value chain, which integrates chemistry research, cell development, battery production and material recycling in one location.

Paccar says that select Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks built from 2024 onwards will be installed with Virtual Vehicle, an edge computing platform that provides access to telematics, real-time data and third-party applications directly from the vehicle.

The model shown at World of Concrete in Las Vegas features self-heating LED headlights which improve forward visibility by up to 29% and peripheral visibility by up to 50%.

Optimal EV is now offering a retrofit service to operators with diesle vehicles based on the Ford E-450 cutaway chassis; the work will be carried out at one of Fontaine Modification's post-production truck modification centres.
