The model is positioned in the heavy-duty intermediate segment, expanding the brand’s offering among the 4x2 options.

The Gen 3 Battery Electric buses are offered in two lengths (35 and 40 ft), featuring a Cummins EV powertrain and an Akasol (BorgWarner) AKASystem 9 AKM 150 CYC battery system for the following available capacity configurations: 490 kWh, 588 kWh and 686 kWh.

Transdev says it will deploy them in the Province of Utrecht in the central Netherlands.

New Flyer will supply 108 units of its ‘Xcelsior Charge FC’ range of hydrogen-powered electric buses, all measuring forty feet in length, to SamTrans.

This achievement results from the involvement of almost the entire supply chain, VWCO said, with 90% of its suppliers already involved in this procedure.

This facility, situated near Memphis, Tennessee, adds 200,000 square feet of warehouse space and enhances Donaldson's capability to serve sectors such as heavy-duty trucking and construction.

Improvements to the group’s I-See intelligent telemetry, means now it can anticipate curves and roundabouts, and can automatically adjust the powertrain to optimize performance and safety during the trip.

This factory represents a major investment and will focus on producing lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles, including buses, trucks, and other commercial vehicles.

As part of its ‘Blue Service Contract’, offered to North American customers, Volvo NA is now using an adaptive maintenance system which dynamically changes service intervals based on the performance and application of the truck.

Schmitz began production of its own axles at the Altenberge plant in 2004: since then, it has manufactured 2 million of them, installing them on trailers made in Altenberge or shipping them to its other trailer plants in Europe and Turkey.

At IAA Transportation 2024, held between 17-22 September in Hanover, Germany, Brazilian trailer and components firm Randoncorp presented products from its auto parts brands, including wheel-end components from Castertech, brake systems from Master Freios (a joint venture with Cummins), and axles, suspensions, and e-mobility products from Suspensys. However, the group’s most interesting showcase was invisible to the naked eye. In its axle products lay hidden a secret ingredient measurable only on the nanoscale: a niobium compound, which has the power to augment the mechanical properties of steel while considerably reducing its weight. It also improves the performance of other materials, enabling them to achieve their full potential.
