🚗 Milestone Update: Building the Exocar Igor wanted to share some milestones in the incredible journey of building the Exocar from scratch. Here's a quick update on our progress so far: https://lnkd.in/dJQEk_2q #BöhlerWelding #LastingConnections #Exocar #Tuning #CarWelding #Cooperation

Despite the holiday season, MARWAY Europe is accelerating in the domain of critical transport and lithium-ion battery transport. Many manufacturing companies use the holiday season for servicing machines and production lines. MARWAY Europe comes to the rescue when time is short, and parts are needed "right now." In our fleet, we have fast "caddy" type vehicles for small, quick shipments. When there are more pallets, express shipments are handled by vehicles up to 3.5t GVW, allowing for up to 10 pallets to be delivered anywhere in Europe in hours, not days. #CriticalTransport #LithiumIonBatteryTransport #MARWAYEurope 🌐

Two new prime movers are set to be delivered to QFES as part of an Australian first trial. The Volvo trucks - one running on Hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) and the other electric – will support operational logistics at Caloundra and Townsville. The HVO-powered truck comes with the latest 13-litre Euro 6 technology, allowing it to run on either the alternative fuel or regular diesel. The electric-powered truck – the first Volvo FMX electric prime mover ordered in Australia – will be based at Caloundra and used for logistics delivery runs. QFES Fleet is committed to decarbonizing the heavy vehicle fleet and meeting Queensland Government emissions targets. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gvNKXmCP #QFES #Volvo #zeroemission #unavin

Experience of Norwegian carriers: in cold weather, the mileage of electric trucks drops by at least a third. Norwegian publication tungt.no. conducted a survey among carriers using electric trucks. The main question is: what problems do they face when operating electric trucks in the winter? One of the carriers is the Bring company, which is engaged in logistics and cargo delivery to Oslo. It began operating electric trucks in 2019 and has since expanded its electric fleet to 10 units. Despite all the positive aspects of electric trucks, the company is faced with the fact that the range claimed by manufacturers on a single battery charge does not correspond to reality, especially in the cold season. “In cold weather we lose up to 30% of our mileage. This means that a truck that should travel 300 kilometers can only travel 200 kilometers." - Tommy Stenseth, head of transportation and logistics at Bring As a result, the carrier had to adapt to the situation and take measures to optimize the use of electric trucks. For example, the company carefully plans its routes to avoid unnecessary kilometers and stops. Also often using fast charging stations, which can charge the battery up to 80% in 40 minutes. In addition, the cabin and battery are preheated before setting out on a route to save heating energy. The company also uses auxiliary heaters that operate on a separate battery and do not reduce the truck's range. Another example is the Norwegian postal operator Posten Norge, which is testing electric trucks for transport between Oslo and Trondheim. The distance between them is about 500 km and includes crossing the Dovrefjell mountain range. For this reason, the carrier has chosen trucks with large battery capacity or dual battery systems to cope with cold weather and hilly terrain. “We use trucks with a 300-kilowatt-hour battery or two 150-kilowatt-hour batteries. This allows us to travel about 250 kilometers without recharging.” - Christian Holm, Project Manager for Transport Electrification at Posten. The company also uses heat pumps that optimize heating and cooling of the battery and cabin. Heat pumps use the heat generated by the battery to heat the cabin and also cool the battery when it overheats. This improves efficiency and extends battery life. After conducting the survey, the publication made the following conclusions. Electric trucks are still a viable option for urban and regional transportation, even in cold climates, as long as drivers and operators are aware of the limitations and plan accordingly. However, electric truck manufacturers must provide more realistic and transparent information about range per battery charge and in different weather conditions. It is also necessary to develop the infrastructure of charging stations and reduce the cost of batteries. Only then will electric trucks be able to completely replace diesel trucks in the future.

Fleet electrification is gaining momentum due to its potential for reducing emissions and improving efficiency, particularly in logistics and port facilities. Key considerations include the economic benefits, advancements in electric vehicle (EV) technology, challenges with charging infrastructure, and grid capacity. Partnerships and grants, such as those involving bp pulse with the Port of New Orleans, play a crucial role in advancing these initiatives.

𝐀𝐭𝐨𝐁@𝐂 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠, a Swedish subsidiary of 𝐄𝐒𝐋 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠, has marked a significant milestone with the delivery of 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐫, the second vessel in its twelve-part series of plug-in hybrid general cargo ships. The handover ceremony took place at 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚'𝐬 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐞 & 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐲𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒. With a carrying capacity of 5,350 deadweight tons (dwt), 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐫 showcases impressive environmental credentials, boasting the capability to slash CO2 emissions by up to 50% compared to existing vessels, courtesy of its shore power connectivity and substantial battery setup. This advancement aligns with the company's commitment to sustainability, offering quieter and cleaner operations while in port. 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚 𝐑𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 at 𝐄𝐒𝐋 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠/𝐀𝐭𝐨𝐁@𝐂 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠, emphasized the customer-centric approach behind the vessel's development, citing its ability to meet clients' needs and expectations. The launch of 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐫 underscores a strategic move towards bolstering service offerings and competitive edge through next-generation electric hybrid vessels. The newbuild, measuring 90 meters in length and 16 meters in width, was initially unveiled at the same shipyard in early October 2023, heralding a new era in eco-friendly maritime transportation. #Shipping #ESLShipping #AtoBCShipping #Stellamar #HybridVessels #CargoShipping #Sustainability #EnvironmentalPerformance #MaritimeIndustry #NewBuild #ChowguleShipyard NC: Offshore Energy

Let's start the week with a fresh overview. Which Akiem locomotive fleets are about to expand:

Just wow ⭐ look at the results McCarthy Stone have been getting from the Peak Power 200 (formerly PUNCH Power 200) in partnership with Falcon Tower Crane Services Ltd on their construction sites. Using the Dumarey Flybrid flywheel system has allowed them to reduce their CO2 emissions and saved on fuel costs. We are so happy to be part of their journey to #netzero. This is just the beginning, we look forward to more savings throughout 2024 💚 "Dumarey Flybrid units were trialled at six of our sites and data, for 50weeks with a Flybrid unit, so far shows: ⭐ 30,898 kgco2e per site ⭐ £21,800 fuel saving per site All of our sites are required to ensure a Flybrid is installed on site as standard, and Falcon are supplying all new contracts with a Dumarey Flybrid unit. This innovative approach means that we will be able to reduce emissions by c.170tCO2e over this year as a business. This is a significant step towards our net zero carbon emissions, and shows the results that can be achieved when we have a great partnership with suppliers like Falcon Tower Crane Services Ltd., who are on their own ‘Path to Becoming Diesel Free’ to achieve" #sustainableconstruction #flywheel #powergeneration #netzero #reducingemissions #technology #innovation
