MCS charging can successfully contribute towards sustainable long-distance transport for heavy-duty vehicles. To drive further progress in the sustainable transformation of this high emitting transport sector, Siemens has introduced a prototype of the SICHARGE Megawatt Charging System.

We're talking about the company's IeV4 electric light commercial vehicles, recently launched by Switch Mobility, the UK branch of Indian commercial vehicle manufacturer Ashok Leyland.

The trial involved a number of BEVs intended for distribution activities in the Milan area. In addition to evaluating their performance in terms of reliability and transport efficiency, the tests also analyzed the benefits the vehicles can bring in terms of environmental impact.

Developers from Mercedes-Benz Trucks successfully charged for the first time a prototype of the eActros 600, which was presented last year, at a charging station with an output of one megawatt at the in-house development and testing center in Wörth am Rhein.

RIZON will offer four model variants for Canadian customers, the e16L, e16M, e18L, and the e18M, with a versatile mix of configurations and options suitable for each customer’s unique requirements, ranging from 15,995 to 18,850 pounds in gross vehicle weight (GVW).

HVS have completed the initial build of the first of the prototype rigs at the Silverstone site, which will shortly be despatched to UTAC, Leyland for the initial rig testing. The build of several other APs is now underway.

The truck will be used to perform road testing and evaluation of improvements towards the next steps of the project. VDL Groep is preparing four more fuel cell trucks, which will be used by Toyota’s logistic providers VOS Transport Group, CEVA, Groupe CAT and Yusen.

Given the strong demand for zero-emission commercial vehicles and the ramp-up of its QHM FCEV, the company expects a significant increase in sales in 2024 with a minimum target of 80-100 million Euro. Quantron also plans to further expand its international presence in Europe.

The e-trucks will operate in fixed routes between Danfoss sites in Denmark, and one of the trucks will operate 24 hours a day, five days per week, without significant charging downtime. The vehicles are set to be in operation before 2024.

The battery assembly will employ 550 people and is highly automated, from incoming goods throughout production to delivery. "With the battery assembly in operations we have one of the key enablers in place to accelerate the shift to electrification", said Christian Levin, President and CEO Scania an...
