Together with the regional electric truck, Scania is introducing a new electric powertrain, called 'EM C1-4', which is more powerful than the drive systems installed in its lighter distribution and tipper trucks.

New trucks in the ‘D’ range – the D, D Wide, and D Wide LEC – now feature exterior stylings which Renault Trucks’ designers say are intended to create a visual link between its heavy-duty ‘C’ and ‘T’ trucks and its van range.

The new eCanter order by Yamato is for standard cab, S-battery models with three body variants – dry, refrigerated and frozen cargos.

Using the 'Volvo Connect' application, drivers can find nearby charging stations, check their availability, and pay to use the charger.

The two companies have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to make available locally-produced electric trucks in the Indonesian market under the NTBK brand.

The eHeater controller warms up the diesel exhaust after-treatment catalyst to reduce emissions, mainly nitrogen oxide (NOx) exhaust emissions. The product is seen as aiding those engine manufacturers to better meet current and even stricter emissions regulation, such as the upcoming Euro VII standards.

160 ‘Xcelsior’ 40-foot buses will replace end-of-life vehicles in METRO’s fleet, to be jointed later by an additional 50 options.

“We’ve made huge progress in electric drivetrain technology since the last Busworld event in 2019. We’re particularly excited about our new HES580 3-level inverter, which increased the motor efficiency and will be the motor-friendliest inverter on the market for bus powertrains," said David Segbers at Busworld 2023.

The work was carried out on a used 12-tonne 'Renault Trucks D' in partnership with a firm enrolled in Volvo’s ‘CampX’ startup incubator in Lyon, called ‘Novumtech’.

The ten vehicles are all Ankai double-deckers which will feature Equipmake’s zero-emission drivetrain and a 327-kWh capacity battery pack, providing a 193 km (120 miles) range. The first vehicle will enter service in Q1 2024.

50 units of the ‘Qargo 4 EV’ 4.5-tonne range, fitted with 81-kWh CATL batteries, have been delivered to the subsidiary of Saudi-based lubricants multinational Petromin Corporation.

The Euro VI engine's maximum torque has been increased by 50 (to 150 Nm) and offers lower fuel consumption and longer time between service intervals than previous generations due to high torque and low revs. The new powertrains are able to run on HVO biodiesel.
