XCMG has delivered a batch of 100 hydrogen-powered trucks to the end client Mengxi Zhenghe Group to aid its construction of a mine near Ordos in China’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region. Under a strategic cooperation blueprint with Sino-Synery, XCMG will deliver in excess of 1,000 hydrogen trucks in total to the company by 2025.
The City Council fulfills the promise made by its mayor Jose Luis Martínez-Almeida in 2020 that no municipal bus powered by this fuel would travel the streets of the city after 2023. With this removal, the current 100% clean fleet of the EMT is made up of 1,915 CNG buses and 180 electric buses. This year, the municipal company will also add the first 10 hydrogen buses.
The Guwahati Smart City Limited, under its Smart City Mission, has procured these NGVs, which will be operated by Assam State Transport Corporation. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said this launch is a step towards gradual but firm mitigation of the impacts of climate change and global warming.
The company has unveiled a fleet of 10 LNG-powered vehicles, manufactured by Blue Energy Motors and operated by the logistics company GreenLine. JK Lakshmi Cement has always been at the forefront of initiatives to reduce its carbon footprint by operating in an energy-efficient way.
Scale Gas has signed an agreement with Disfrimur whereby the Murcia-based transport company will decarbonize its operations by incorporating heavy vehicles powered by renewable hydrogen. Enagás’ subsidiary will supply this fleet through a new network of hydrogen stations located at Disfrimur’s operational bases throughout Spain.
30 Kent CNG buses will serve in the fleet of Autolinee Toscane, the leading transit operator that undertakes all transportation in the Tyrrhenian Sea coastal region, while 90 additional NGVs will be exported to Puglia, in southern Italy, and will provide passenger transportation services within the Department of Transport of the Puglia Region.
This new generation of 17 CNG vehicles, which will connect Madrid with the Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport, is an exercise in innovation by the EMT together with the Swedish manufacturer Scania and the coachbuilder Castrosúa.

The Rhenus Group and Shell will be sharing ideas more closely in future in order to forge ahead with decarbonizing goods traffic on the roads. Experts from both companies recently discussed some initial ideas and specific measures such as alternative fuels and drive systems ranging from bio-LNG to hydrogen.
In these projects, first biogas is produced from anaerobic digestion of cow manure. Bright supplies the biogas upgrading system with membrane technology to convert biogas to biomethane. After compression to bio-CNG, the fuel can be stored and transported. Through a mobile pipeline, Bioforce transports the bio-CNG to filling stations in Estonia’s capital.
Buses on the new m4 service, between Cribbs Causeway and Bristol, will run on biomethane, using food waste as a sustainable fuel. “We’re proud to be operating the m4 and giving even more people the chance to experience the metrobus and travel sustainably on a modern bus network,” said Doug Claringbold, Managing Director of First West of England.
