VinFast’s founder has announced a new arm called V-Green to build EV chargers, focused on bolstering global access while prioritizing sessions for VinFast drivers, accelerating the Vietnamese automaker’s expansion into new markets.
In addition to taking over the operations and management of VinFast’s current charging network overseas, V-Green will invest 10 trillion VND (~$404 million) over the next two years to upgrade and expand it. Those chargers will be installed and made available exclusively to VinFast drivers in Vietnam.
Safe Fleet, a leading provider of safety solutions for fleet vehicles, is proud to announce three new innovations designed to improve productivity and reduce the risk of injury to operators, passengers, and pedestrians.
The new products, including MobileMule, Air Vue and FoldPro Shelving, debuted at the Work Truck Week 2023 Show which happened March 7-10 in Indianapolis.
“These best-in-class brands in video safety and last mile shelving advance drivers’ productivity and most importantly increase their safety,” said Mike Schulte, President of Safe Fleet.
The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety does most of its crash testing at 40 mph. The agency gets questions about why it doesn't test at much higher speeds considering most U.S. drivers regularly drive 70 mph or faster on the freeway.
"Our test speed captures the middle of the distribution of real-world crashes, where we know there are serious and severe injuries. We know there are crashes that are more severe but we are capturing the bulk of the total number of crashes. Most crashes are very low severity," said Raul Arbelaez, Vice President of IIHS' Vehicle Research Center.
Full electrification of the U.S. commercial truck fleet would require nearly $1 trillion in infrastructure investment alone, according to a new report from Roland Berger released today by the Clean Freight Coalition.
“This study thoroughly examines the issues surrounding the infrastructure buildout necessary to electrify commercial vehicles, and it clearly shows how the heavy-duty vehicle industry’s needs are vastly different not just from other sectors of our economy, but from each other,” said CFC Executive Director Jim Mullen. “I want to thank the team at Roland Berger for so clearly outlining the challenges electrifying our supply chain poses as the industry and nation continue working toward our shared goal of reducing trucking’s impact on the environment.”
