China Truck Group, Toyota Motor Sign Development Pact

Jack Hao
Jack Hao

Last month, China National Heavy Duty Truck Group and Toyota Motor Corporation signed a strategic cooperation agreement to develop hydrogen powered commercial vehicles.

China is a market with great potential for the promotion and popularization of hydrogen energy, and long-haul heavy-duty logistics vehicles are an important application scenario that highly matches hydrogen energy.

Toyota Motor Corporation possesses world-leading hydrogen fuel cell technology, and China National Heavy Duty Truck Group is a leading enterprise in China’s commercial vehicle industry. The hydrogen fuel cell tractor jointly developed by the two parties has already been delivered to the market in batches.

Japan Engine Conducts Final Tests on Ammonia Marine Engine

Akihiro Komuro

Japan Engine Corporation, a manufacturer of marine engines, says it has begun final testing of a new engine that uses a fuel mixture of ammonia and heavy fuel oil. The testing involves running the engine alone in a factory to confirm safety and to check for abnormal behavior. Testing is expected to be completed by September, with production planned to begin in October.

The large, low-speed marine engine developed by the company can burn up to 95% ammonia (by heat ratio) mixed with heavy fuel oil. The engine used in this trial will be installed in an ammonia carrier ship currently under development with Nippon Yusen and others. The ship is expected to be completed in fiscal 2026.

Volvo Announces World’s First Electric Articulated Hauler

Guy Youngs

The star of the recent Bauma-Germany 2025 show is arguably the game-changing A30 Electric articulated hauler. It’s the first vehicle of its kind in what is both a key industrial segment for Volvo and a world’s first for a series production BEV in its class – 60-years since Volvo revolutionized the construction industry with the launch of Gravel Charlie, the world’s first articulated hauler.

The Volvo A30 Electric offers a 64,000 lb. (32 ton)/23.3 cubic yard payload capacity and “full day” operation thanks to its 245 kWh li-ion battery.

Magnesium Battery Offers Alternative To Lithium

Guy Youngs

Researchers at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, have developed a new electrolyte system for magnesium anodes, which they claim demonstrates a potential alternative to lithium-ion electric vehicle batteries through superior performance.

The team suggests halide-free Mg batteries surpass previous batteries in terms of safety, efficiency and stability. The aging effects of energy storage are also apparently mitigated with magnesium, which the team claimed would lead to a longer lifespan of the battery.

Fabio Ferraresi

Heavy truck production in Brazil fell 3.7% in Q1 2025 versus the same period in 2024, totaling 16,700 units, according to Anfavea. The decline is attributed to high interest rates (Selic), which have limited fleet renewal despite a record grain harvest.

Heavy truck sales also dropped 7% in the quarter, with 13,000 units registered.

OEM Performance – Heavy Trucks: Volvo: 3,900 units sold (+4% YoY); Scania: 3,500 units (−17%), and Mercedes-Benz: 2,100 units (−13.5%)

Despite the contraction in the heavy segment, total truck production grew 8.2%, reaching 31,700 units. The Medium-duty truck segment production was 8,900 units (+28.5%) and the Light-duty truck production was 4,500 units (+10%)
