€6.5M eHaul project developing automated battery swapping for electric heavy-duty trucks
A consortium led by researchers at TU Berlin has launched a €6.5-million project to develop an automated battery exchange station for electric heavy goods vehicles. The eHaul project is funded by Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy with further financial input provided by partner organizations.
Other partners are Fraunhofer Institute for Transportation and Infrastructure Systems (IVI); IBAR Systemtechnik GmbH; Robert Bosch GmbH; and Unitax Pharmalogistik GmbH.
Long-haul heavy-duty trucks are used for journeys of distances which cannot be covered by a single battery charge. Haulage companies can’t afford to lose hours waiting for a battery to charge, notes Professor Dr. Stefanie Marker, head of the Chair of Naturalistic Driving Observation for Energetic Optimisation and Accident Avoidance at TU Berlin.
Skeleton gets 51 mln euros cash injection from Germany
Estonia’s Skeleton Technologies said it gets an additional $60 million (€51 million) funding to scale up ultracapacitors production in its factory in Germany.
