By the end of 2015, there will be a total of about 50,000 electric cars and plug-in hybrids on the roads in Germany (about 75% below plan); nevertheless, structural transformation towards electromobility is continuing, according to the firm. The more than 50% decrease in Li-ion costs in the coming years will fuel structural change, Bain said.

4-cylinder engine; charging capability remains the same, as does the electric range. The updated trucks, which were originally purchased in September 2015, deliver up to four times the fuel economy of a gasoline-powered vehicle, UPS said. In March of 2015, AMP formally changed its name to Workhorse Group Incorporated.

The low-temperature cooling system with its own dedicated circuit makes charge-air cooling more effective in the Euro 6 version. Due to the increased heat input through the EGR and the two-stage turbocharging, the charge air needs to be re-cooled to a greater extent. MAN and Scania begin gearbox cooperation.
