Discover the sustainable combination of the FH Electric Volvo truck from Volvo Trucks Italia with the Burgers double-deck trailer equipped with #SolarOnTop technology. This initiative, in collaboration with our partners Multitrax and Burgers Carrosserie as part of the Four Sustainable Logistics project, aims to revolutionize the transport model in Italy and set a new standard for sustainability. By integrating #SolarOnTop technology atop the double-deck trailer, we harness solar energy to power the cabin electronics in the truck and the tail lift. ✅This reduces reliance on the truck's power supply and extends its driving #range, allowing the truck to cover more kilometers for free. ✅Even in areas without access to electric charging infrastructure or when disconnected from the truck, the trailer's #battery remains #charged, thanks to the solar panels. ✅#SolarOnTop technology ensures #reliability during loading and unloading operations by providing continuous green energy supply to the trailer, minimizing downtime and operational disruptions. Curious to see how SolarOnTop can transform your fleet?

MAN presents its entire range of truck drives for the first time 🚛 In the run-up to the IAA Transportation 2024, MAN Truck & Bus gave a preview of its trade fair appearance in September at the beginning of July. The focus of the test drives in front of the Austrian Alps was on decarbonising road freight transport. For the first time, around 200 journalists had the opportunity to test trucks with electric, hydrogen and state-of-the-art diesel drives in direct comparison. The new MAN eTruck, which now offers over a million configuration variants with its modular battery concept, numerous wheelbases, cabs, PTOs and industry equipment, proved to be fit for the needs of all relevant industries, body solutions and transport tasks. Its preparation for the upcoming megawatt charging standard MCS with up to 1,000 kW enables recharging within the driver’s driving break. This enables a daily range of up to 800 kilometres, which is also sufficient for typical long-haul applications. This is one of the reasons why customers are already very interested: 2,000 order requests and orders have already been received, including a major order from France with 100 vehicles. “Even though the transition to CO2-free freight transport is characterised by several drive technologies, our focus is clearly on electromobility as the main drive technology. The hydrogen combustion engine can be a useful addition for special applications, as can the fuel cell drive, which is currently still under development. In addition, the diesel drive will continue to play an important role throughout the entire transformation until it is completely replaced. That’s why we’ve made it significantly more efficient, economical and lower in CO2with our new D30 engine. It is based on the common engine platform of the TRATON GROUP and is the tangible result of intensive cooperation between our development departments. In future, we will be producing combustion engine and electric trucks on the same production line in order to be able to react flexibly to the shift in demand towards electric trucks. However, for the drive revolution to succeed, the expansion of the charging infrastructure must be an absolute priority for politicians, infrastructure operators and manufacturers,” says Alexander Vlaskamp, CEO of MAN Truck & Bus...

Per the South Coast Air Quality Management District, “the twin ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach 🚢 are the largest in the nation as well as the single largest fixed source of air pollution in Southern California. Collectively, sources at the port produce more emissions than all 6 million cars 🚗 in the region.” Not all pollution at the ports is due to drayage trucks 🚛, but drayage trucks contribute substantially to the overall pollution (for context, roughly 17k drayage trucks serve the ports). There is a light☀ at the end of the tunnel… the Clean Truck Program has a goal that most of the 17k drayage trucks at the ports will be zero-emissions vehicles by 2036 😲. 2036 is a long way away, but there are undoubtedly incremental steps that can be taken now to put this industry in the right direction. This is where Revoy comes in. Revoy helps the trucking industry lower emissions by converting existing fleets into hybrid in a matter of minutes ⏱. Rather than retrofitting your existing fleet or building net-new electric vehicles, drayage fleet owners can reduce their dependency on fossil fuels with Revoy right now as they incrementally work towards zero emission vehicles. And this is just one of many examples of where Revoy can make an impact. More work is needed in this space to ensure we reach the zero emissions goals, but this is a big step in the right direction. Huge congrats to Ian Rust and the team for the feature, and feel free to reach out to me if you are interested in connecting with Revoy! #hybridtrucking #pathtozeroemissionvehicles #technexusportco #sustainablemobility

Interesting article on Daimler electrification in commercial trucking. Paired with the Carrier Transicold's Vector eCool by ConMet electric refrigerated trailers, fleets can achieve their sustainability and decarbonization goals. #emobility #vectorecool

Interesting article that discusses one of the biggest issues (other than cost) of getting BET tractors on the road. This is the same issue that I see (other than cost) of getting more EV passenger cars on the road. The infrastructure just isn't there yet.

BEDEO calls for fleets to recognise potential of electric retrofitting A recent McKinsey & Company (McKinsey) report highlights that light commercial vehicles (LCVs) are the largest single contributor of pollution within the logistics industry (40 per cent) – leading electric mobility company BEDEO to call for large van fleets and regulators to recognise the potential of electric retrofitting. BEDEO, a leader in the electric mobility sector, urges governments and policymakers to take immediate action and acknowledge the power of electric retrofitting for large vans. Failure to do so could mean missing a critical opportunity to significantly reduce emissions while promoting a circular economy, warns the UK-based fleet electrification experts.
