GOTHENBURG, Sweden, November 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Partners Coca-Cola Europacific (CCEP) will start using 30 electric trucks to make “last mile” deliveries to local customers in Belgium. The first five vehicles will be released today in the Antwerp Region. Through a key partnership with Renault Trucksbeverage maker is electrifying a fifth of its truck fleet and creating the largest fleet of electric trucks in the world Belgium.¹ The company will also reduce its CO2 emissions by 75% compared to diesel trucks. “Our industry is facing challenges that require rapid adaptation, but we are also strongly committed to maintaining a long-term approach. Investing in electric trucks will enable Coca-Cola Europacific Partners to reduce CO2 emissions by 30% over the entire value chain by 2030. and become climate neutral by 2040,” says An Vermeulen, Vice President and Country Director of Coca-Cola Europapacific Partners for Belgium and Luxemburg.

The first five Renault Trucks E-tech D and D Wide will come out in the Antwerp region today, and other trucks will arrive in the coming months at the manufacturing and distribution sites in Ghent and Chaudfontaine in Belgium. “Most of our deliveries are very local, to supermarkets and businesses close to our sites, with average journeys of 150 km per day,” explains An Vermeulen. “The transition to electric vehicles is making sense, thanks to a total investment of approximately 7 million euros. This is an example of our efforts to take a long-term and sustainable approach at the local level by Belgium.”

Optimized local routes

Coca-Cola has chosen a configuration that allows Renault Truck’s electric vehicles to travel 200 km per day, which is more than enough for 40% of CCEP’s current local delivery routes. Each truck has an on-site charging station to fully charge the battery overnight. These charging stations are powered by 100% green energy generated on site.

Each truck has an on-site charging station to fully charge the battery overnight. These charging stations are powered by 100% green energy generated on site.

Coca-Cola worked closely with Renault Trucks to select the right trucks and create the best loading conditions for this local use: “We carefully analyzed Coca-Cola’s logistics data, performed realistic route simulations and carried out tests in real conditions relating to energy consumption as well as the comfort and safety of the driver”, declares Siegfried Van Brabandt, Managing Director of Renault Trucks Belux. “The trucks are also equipped with 360° camera systems to eliminate blind spots, a loudspeaker to warn pedestrians and cyclists, and a transparent door for optimal visibility on the passenger side.” The 30 electric trucks deployed this year are only a first step for CCEP. “We will continue to take steps to decarbonize our fleet until 2030 while continuing to study market developments to determine the future of our fleets taking into account parameters such as covering longer distances, the autonomy of vehicles and heavier loads”, explains An Vermeulen.

Continuous innovation

CCEP also wants to continue to look to the future in collaboration with Renault Trucks. “To help our customers decarbonize their fleets, we have developed a tailor-made solution that covers both vehicles and services. We also offer support to ensure the proper use of electric trucks. And we continue to expand our range of electric vehicles: next year we will produce a 44 t electric truck that goes much further on a single charge,” says Siegfried Van Brabandt. “In addition, as part of the Volvo Group, we are investing in the expansion of public charging infrastructure in Europe through strategic partnerships. This is going to be a really exciting decade for our industry, and we’re excited to make meaningful progress in this area with partners like Coca-Cola. »

Investments in CO2 reduction for a sustainable future

The transition to electric modes of transport is an important local step in Coca-Cola Europacific Partners’ efforts to achieve carbon neutrality. “We continue to invest in our long-term goal of reducing our CO2 emissions. We are acting on several fronts: reducing our packaging as much as possible because it represents around 40% of our environmental footprint; last year we started using 100% recycled plastic for all our plastic bottles Belgium,² which has reduced our emissions by 70%; and our Chaudfontaine site has obtained carbon neutrality certification. These initiatives bear witness to our desire to continue to develop sustainably alongside our partners and customers. This is our contribution to achieving the goals of our sustainability action plan,” says An Vermeulen.

Europe is facing disruptions in its energy supply. The Middle East and Africa are grappling with grain shortages. And pretty much everyone is struggling to get their hands on semiconductors. As disruptions to the flow of vital commodities become more common, economies and businesses have important choices to make. The most fundamental seems to be whether to withdraw from global integration or reinvent it.

For many, the temptation to retreat can be strong. From Russia’s war on Ukraine to the Sino-American rivalry, the global order is increasingly contested, and when value chains are global, a single disruption can ripple across the planet. But, as we show in a new research paper, exiting these value chains would not be as easy as one might assume.

For decades, the world has sought rapid and comprehensive economic integration – and with good reason. By enabling greater specialization and economies of scale, global value chains have improved efficiency, lowered prices, and increased the range and quality of goods and services available. By supporting economic growth, it has boosted incomes and employment – ​​but not for all – helping to lift people out of poverty.

With integration came interdependence. As we show in our article, no region today is close to self-sufficiency. Every major region of the world imports more than 25% of at least one major resource or manufactured good.

In many cases, the numbers are much higher. Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, Eastern Europe and Central Asia import more than 50% of the electronic products they need. The European Union imports more than 50% of its energy resources. The Asia-Pacific region imports more than 25% of its energy resources. Even North America, which has fewer highly dependent areas, depends on imports of resources and manufactured goods.

This undoubtedly generates risks, especially when it comes to goods whose production is highly concentrated. For example, most of the world’s lithium and graphite – both of which are used in electric vehicle (EV) batteries – are largely mined from three or fewer countries. Natural graphite is highly concentrated not because of reserves, but because over 80% is refined in China.

Similarly, the Democratic Republic of the Congo extracts 69% of the world’s cobalt, Indonesia represents 32% of the world’s nickel and Chile produces 28% of the world’s copper. A disruption of supply from any of these sources would have far-reaching consequences.

The question is whether countries – and businesses – can mitigate these risks without giving up the myriad benefits of global trade. Some are already embracing diversification. Many consumer electronics companies have expanded their manufacturing footprint in India and Vietnam to reduce their reliance on China and access emerging markets. Similarly, the US, EU, South Korea, China and Japan have all announced measures to increase domestic production of semiconductors. Although semiconductors account for less than 10% of total trade, products directly or indirectly dependent on them account for around 65% of all goods exports.

But diversification can take time and often requires a large initial investment. Minerals – among the most concentrated commodities in the global system – are a good example. As the International Energy Agency has pointed out, the development of new deposits of critical minerals has historically taken more than 16 years on average.

It’s not just about developing new mines; countries also need to build processing capacity and find workers with the necessary skills. And all of this must be done in a way that mitigates the considerable environmental impact of mining and processing.

Innovation can enable players to circumvent these obstacles. Already, efforts are being made to develop technologies that rely less on natural graphite, and electric vehicle makers are experimenting with approaches that use less cobalt, if at all. Faced with rising palladium prices, the multinational chemical company BASF has developed a new catalyst technology allowing partial substitution by platinum.

Another way to build resilience can be to change our approach to sourcing. Businesses can work with each other and with governments, through public-private partnerships, to leverage their joint purchasing power, bolster their supplies of vital goods and help build more sustainable economies.

Models of this cooperation are already emerging. The Canada Growth Fund aims to use public funds to attract private capital to accelerate the deployment of technologies needed to decarbonize the economy, including increasing domestic production of critical materials like zinc, cobalt and rare earth elements. And the First Movers Coalition – comprising more than 50 private companies around the world – has pledged to use its collective buying power to create markets for innovative clean technologies in eight hard-to-reduce sectors.

Such strategies show that we can mitigate risk and build economic resilience without abandoning the interdependence that has lifted more than a billion people out of poverty in recent decades. Rather than trying to withdraw from the global economy, we must reinvent it.

Santa Clara, Calif. and Kyoto, Japan, Nov. 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ROHM Semiconductor today announced that it has signed a joint development agreement with Mazda Motor Corporation (Mazda) and Imasen Electric Industrial Co., Ltd., (Imasen) for inverters and SiC power modules for use in electric propulsion units of electric vehicles, including the e-Axle.

As the “heart of the electric vehicle“, e-Axle integrates a motor, gearbox and inverter into a single unit which plays an important role in determining the driving performance and power conversion efficiency of electric vehicles. . SiC MOSFETs in particular are expected to further improve efficiency.

ROHM will carry out joint development of inverters for e-Axle by participating in a “cooperative framework for the development and production of electric drive units” with companies such as Imasen and led by Mazda. At the same time, ROHM will contribute to the creation of industry-leading high-efficiency compact power units by developing and supplying advanced SiC power modules that offer improved performance.

Through this collaboration, ROHM will develop even more competitive MOSFETs and SiC modules by working backwards from the finished vehicle to understand the performance and optimal control method required for power semiconductors.

In addition to creating new value through mutual understanding between car and appliance manufacturers, the three companies also support technical innovation in the automotive field and contribute to a sustainable society by leveraging knowledge, technologies and extended products acquired globally.

Ichiro Hirose, Director and Senior Managing Director; R&D, Cost Innovation and Innovation Oversight, Mazda Motor Corporation
“We are delighted to collaborate on the development and production of e-Axle with ROHM, which hopes to create a sustainable mobility society through outstanding semiconductor technologies and advanced system solution development capabilities, to co-creating a new value chain that directly connects semiconductor devices and vehicles in both directions as electrification brings us closer to carbon neutrality.By partnering with like-minded companies, Mazda is committed to injecting “driving fun” into every product, including electric vehicles.”

Katsumi Azuma, Director and Senior Executive and Chief Operating Officer, ROHM Co., Ltd.
“We are extremely pleased to be working together on the development and production of the e-Axle with Mazda, who are committed to delivering ‘driving pleasure’ that expresses the cars’ inherent appeal. Through this partnership, we hope that by reflecting the real requirements and demands in our products, we can develop automotive systems that contribute to decarbonization while allowing us to better understand Mazda’s goal of creating sustainable cars with the earth and society. As the role of semiconductors in the automotive market continues to grow, ROHM will strive to manufacture high quality products and contribute to the creation of a sustainable mobility society by offering a wide range of solutions.

Reference information
Like semiconductors, ROHM’s flagship products, play an increasingly important role in achieving a carbon-free society, improving the efficiency of motors and power supplies in particular – which would be responsible for the major part of the world’s electricity consumption – has become a major mission of ROHM.

In this context, ROHM has formulated a management vision for 2020: ‘We focus on electrical and analog solutions and solve social problems by contributing to our customers’ needs for “energy saving” and “miniaturization” of their products.And to contribute more to society, ROHM will clarify the direction that ROHM should take while raising awareness among all Group employees.

For electric vehicles, more compact, efficient and lightweight electric systems are being developed with the aim of becoming carbon neutral. Especially for electric vehicles, the inverter, which plays a central role in the drive system, needs to be made more efficient to extend the range and reduce the size of the on-board battery, thereby increasing expectations on SiC power devices.

As the first vendor in the world to launch mass production of SiC MOSFETs in 2010, followed by the first complete SiC power modules in 2012 and trench-type SiC MOSFETs (3^rd Generation) in 2015, ROHM continues to develop industry-leading SiC device technologies.

In 2020, ROHM completed the development of its latest (4^e generation) SiC MOSFETs that provide improved short-circuit withstand time as well as the lowest ON resistance in the industry, helping to extend the range of electric vehicles by reducing power consumption by 6% compared to to IGBTs (as calculated by the international WLTC fuel efficiency test standard) when installed in the main inverter. In addition to bare chips, ROHM is currently developing products with discrete packages, and this collaboration will allow the company to develop and offer power modules equipped with the latest (4^e Generation) SiC MOSFET.

There is absolutely no doubt about Australia’s affection for light commercial vehicles, commonly referred to as utes. Each month, the top five new vehicle sales list features at least two utility vehicles, with the Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger typically topping the list.

Now, finally, the first electric ute is on offer in Australia – with the launch and unveiling of the LDV eT60, with an 88.5kWh battery, a modest 330km range – and a jaw-dropping ride price of $88,431 for tradesmen, or $92,000 for other mortals.

LDK, which is also launching an electric delivery van, the eDeliver 9, hails the arrival of the eT60 as a “watershed moment” in the Australian automotive industry.

Until now, the only electric vans available were bespoke conversions, and LDK decided to hit the market before the “big names” such as the Rivian, GM electric Hummer and Tesla Cybertruck came to market. Australia.

“We are an OEM offering Australia’s first electric utility and everything that goes with it: a nationwide dealer network, factory backed service and warranty, and a major spares operation for manage our rapidly growing car park,” says LDV Managing Director Dinesh Chinnappa.

“And now we have Australia’s first electric utility – and that’s why we’ve entered into fleet agreements with major global and Australian companies, federal, state and local governments and fleet operators who are committed manage their activities in a more environmentally friendly way.

Watershed moment for the electric vehicle industry

“This watershed moment in Australia’s motoring history marks a turning point in the electrification of commercial vehicles – and proves that weekends don’t have to end just yet.”

The Driven was one of many motoring journals invited to drive the eT60 and our report can be found here, but here are some of the key details.

The ute is powered by a single motor which drives the rear wheels. This motor produces 130 kW of power and 310 Nm of torque.

The configuration has a nominal consumption of 21.3 kWh/100 km. That’s pretty good considering the dimensions of this ute which sit at:

• 5365mm in length
• 1900mm wide
• 1809mm tall

For comparison, the MG ZS EV – a cheaper electric SUV – has a consumption of 18.6 kWh/100 km.

With this consumption, the eT60 comes with reasonable charging speeds and can be quickly charged by direct current from 20% to 80% in 45 minutes.

The eT60 ute is equipped with a CCS2 DC fast charging port so it can be charged during lunch breaks on one of the growing DC fast chargers across the country.

Towing

This utility also has a towing capacity of 1,000kg, which isn’t best in class among ICE utilities, but it gets the job done for many looking to tow smaller trailers with implements. But that halves the range.

Security

On the safety side, the ute is equipped with:

• 6 airbags
• Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
• Hill Start Assist (HAS)
• Reversing camera with parking aid
• LED daytime running lights.

This security equipment is comparable to most traditional ICE utilities.

Interior

Inside, the cabin features artificial leather stitched seats for the front and rear rows. The seating position of the front seats can be adjusted electronically without having to adjust them manually.

The build quality was quite good and has less plastic-like trim materials compared to what you find in many ICE utilities.

This ute is also equipped with a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen which comes standard with Apple CarPlay as well as Smartphone connectivity.

There are front and rear USB ports for charging phones and other devices. The seat pocket and glove compartment also provide functional space.

Warranty and maintenance

On the warranty side, LDV offers a 5-year/160,000 km warranty on the vehicle and an 8-year/160,000 km warranty on the battery.

This gives many customers and fleets good peace of mind when considering transitioning fleets to an electric vehicle. For comparison, a Ford Ranger ICE ute has a 5-year vehicle warranty and no powertrain add-ons.

Service can be performed at any of 95 LDV dealers across Australia. The eT60 requires service once every 2 years or 30,000 km, whichever comes first.

Price

The LDV eT60 is priced at $88,431 drive-thru for ABN holders, or a recommended retail price of $92,990 drive-thru for private buyers. High end paints other than white are $500 more.

It’s about double the cost of the company‘s fossil fuel utilities in Australia, but it insists it’s facing strong customer interest.

Driven’s view: Electric vehicles are rare and require larger and more expensive batteries. As this segment grows, availability is expected to increase, bringing with it the cost of manufacturing and delivering electric vehicles in Australia.

The LDV eT60 is the first of its kind and is well equipped to meet the needs of many ute owners on our roads.

Innovative products can be expensive when first launched. Think of the iPhone or the first Teslas that didn’t stop some people from trying it out.

It competes with Lightspeed Ventures Udaan in the B2B supply chain space.

ProcMart customers include Colgate, Mondelez, Harman and Vedanta. It has 13 offices in India and one in Malaysia. The company aims to launch white label items by the end of 2022 and supply construction equipment thereafter.

Electric aircraft maker Archer has unveiled its Archer Midnight eVTOL and announced that it will serve New York from 2025.

The Archer Midnight electric plane is one of many planes launched by startups promising to revitalize the “mobility industry”. But comparatively, Archer goes about it conservatively. The company does not promise self-driving flights to a city near you, nor does it promise that its plane will take you around the world. The Archer Midnight is a piloted electric aircraft designed for fast commutes in congested cities.

The Archer Midnight is a fairly small aircraft, carrying only four passengers and a pilot. But the electric plane has a total payload of 1000 pounds, which allows for a large amount of cargo. The Midnight uses electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) technology to limit its need for airstrips, and with its swivel motors it can reach 150 mph. With a total range of 100 miles, the CEO says Midnight has enough range for many quick commutes in congested cities like New York and Los Angeles.

The production-ready version of the Archer Midnight is a big milestone for the company, as it only has to wait for safety certification (hopefully in 2024). Shortly thereafter, in 2025, Archer will begin service between New York City and Newark International Airport, with many routes planned for the future.

A point of clarification, while Archer has already flight tested its Archer Maker aircraft earlier this year, it is unclear if the same tests have already been performed with the Archer Midnight.

After discussing the company’s timeline, Mr. Goldstien turned to the technical hurdles the electric plane design had overcome. Julien Montousse, automotive designer turned Archer, aerospace designer, cited visibility, comfort and ease of access as his top concerns. The Archer Midnight achieves unrivaled views through the use of carbon fiber; the lightweight material allowing Archer to use more glass (a relatively heavy material) in the cabin.

Archer also aimed to make their aircraft easy to assemble and comfortable to travel. These challenges have been overcome by the quiet operation and compact design of the electric motors which maximize interior space. The landing gear has also been specially designed to keep the floor of the aircraft as low as possible, making entry and exit comfortable and easy.

The final challenge that was touched on briefly was affordability. Archer hopes the Midnight can be used by a lot of people, not just the ultra-rich. However, it is still unclear whether the company has achieved this goal without pricing information.

Electric aviation continues to grow and amaze with the constant release of new technologies. With Archer’s clear path to certification and implementation, we may be closer than ever to personalized electric flight experiences. However, with a long road to FAA certification ahead of them, don’t hold your breath for service just yet.
