MAN’s Bus Plant goes Green. Without sustainabili

MAN’s Bus Plant goes Green. Without sustainability, there is no future. MAN South Africa embarked on a solar project at its bus production plant in Olifantsfontein, which is a major move for MAN on its global mission to build a cost-effective future and reduce MAN’s impact on the environment. The power generation in this instance will reduce CO2 consumption by 372,484kg per year. MAN’s production plant now has a sufficient supply of electricity during peak production time and this sustainable energy source is easily accessible and will continue to be as long as there is sunlight and most importantly has reduced MAN’s impact on the environment.

uilt in 1910 for horse-drawn wagons, Bridget “Biddy” the railway bridge has been a standout resident of Muizenberg for over a century. Back then, there were no cars, and she was just the perfect height to carry horses and later steam trains. But times have changed. Despite her short stature, Biddy’s developed a very big appetite... mostly for trucks too tall to pass safely under her brick façade. Carte Blanche went to meet her.

Following a two-year break, the Slovakia Ring returned to the schedule of Europe’s premier truck racing series, featuring as round three on this year’s Goodyear FIA European Truck Racing Championship calendar. Norbert Kiss repeated his Hungaroring performance in his MAN, taking three of the four race victories on offer during the Slovakia Ring event. We've just received these amazing photographs of the event, which took place earlier this month, from the highly acclaimed Richard Kienberger and we thought we would share them with you. Enjoy!

It was a real honour to be invited to the Internat

It was a real honour to be invited to the International Press Workshop in Frankfurt this week. And it was great to meet up with our dear colleagues from the International Truck of the Year jury, including (pictured from left) Torbjørn Eriksen (who represents Norway), Aleksander Głuś (who represents Poland) and Gianenrico Griffini (who represents Italy and is also the organisation's president).

We were treated to presentations from the captains of the global transport industry, including the remarkable Karin Rådström, who is Member of the Board of Management of Daimler Truck and also head of Mercedes-Benz Trucks. She's enormously capable and jolly nice too (what a great combo).

Pictured behind us is the highly innovative eActros. We will be seeing the eActros LongHaul (range: 500 km) later this year at the IAA. Speaking of the IAA, this will be the first time that Daimler will show more zero-emission vehicles than vehicles with internal combustion engines.

We are ready to start decarbonising the transport

We are ready to start decarbonising the transport sector. It is in our own hands to make it happen now, says Karin Rådström Board member of Daimler Truck. At the IAA, the company will show the eActros, eEconic and… the big news is the eActros LongHaul (range: 500 km).

Railway transport is far more environmentally frie

Railway transport is far more environmentally friendly than road, points out Andreas Schmitz, CEO of Schmitz Cargobull AG. But rail simply cannot cope with the volumes. So, road transport will continue to be with us for a long time. But it needs to become greener.

At the International Press Workshop in Frankfurt, Quantron has announced that its new heavy-duty EU truck with fuel cell technology will enjoy its world debut at the IAA. The truck sounds incredible. Most importantly, it will have a range of up to 700 km! It will be available from the second quarter of 2023 onwards. We look forward to seeing it at the IAA!

Michael Perschke, Quantron CEO, notes that diesel trucks are going to become more and more expensive to run. At the IAA, his company will position itself as a one-stop shop of zero emission mobility.

Jan Heckmann, Head of IAA, says the new-look exhibition isn't just about vehicles and wheels. This year's IAA will be about transport and future logistics. We will see drones, cargo bikes and lots of new tech. Sounds unmissable.
