In addition to overall system engineering, ABB’s contribution to the project included a patented BORDLINE CC200, traction battery, an air-cooled traction motor, vehicle control electronics, a battery thermal management system, and a DC Fast charger.

The plan is to build a fully integrated vertical production facility, similar to Tesla, for the conversion of diesel buses and trucks as well as the construction of new vehicles, including battery production of up to 20 GWh. About 600 million US dollars will be invested.

A vehicle fitted with a RE-100 Range Extender is electric first, with 117 km of electric range, making it ideal for ‘Last Mile’ deliveries. Its existing diesel mode can be used when needed for longer trips, switching to electric when entering a low-emission zone and densely populated areas to elimin...

The Bavarian experts for alternative drives ABT manage to convert existing vehicles with ICE into electric ones. The conversion is particularly interesting for vehicles with expensive conversions or superstructures such as refuse trucks, tippers, refrigerated trucks or cherry pickers.

Powering fleets with electricity may sound like a big change, but there are so many benefits to be had by using these contemporary technologies. In this post, Jordan Smyth explores three of the core benefits to help users decide whether electric trucks could be the right choice.

The two companies agreed on a strategic partnership, starting with a letter of intent: the co-development is based on Renault Group's expertise in the field of electric vehicles and its industrial know-how at the Re-Factory in Flins, as well as on the experience of Phoenix Mobility, a French pioneer...
