W RLDWIDE NEWS Infineon Technologies Commissioned an eTruck Infineon Technologies AG is taking a further step towards CO 2 neutrality by focusing on electric mobility for logistics solutions. Just in time for the World Environment Day (5 June), an electric truck was commissioned at the Regensburg site after two weeks of testing. The vehicle of the logistics partner Kühne+Nagel drives the distance between the factory premises and an external warehouse in the east of the city four times per working day. Thus, the electric truck covers around 100 km a day. And thanks to the electric drive, it will save some 18 t of CO 2 every year. The 7.5-t truck from the eTruck manufacturer Framo saves 60-100 % of the CO 2 emissions of a comparable diesel vehicle – depending on how the electricity used was produced. The battery developed by Framo has a capacity of 115.6 kWh. This means that the electric truck can cover 115 km – a wide enough range for the daily distance travelled. www.infineon.com/cms/en/ Global leader in liquid analysis Based on its recent analysis of the global liquid analyzer market, the market research and consulting firm Frost & Sullivan honored Endress+Hauser as the 2020 Global Company of the Year.
