MAN eTGE battery-electric van to be mass-produced from July onwards

Green Car Congress

MAN, a member of the Volkswagen Group, is now selling a battery-electric van, the MAN eTGE. Around 70% of light commercial vehicles used in urban areas travel fewer than 100 kilometers per day on average. A 40 kW charging station fills a battery up to 80% in 45 minutes. The average speed reached during this is low.

How Umicore is ensuring sustainability in the North American EV battery chain

Charged EVs

For EVs to deliver their full emission-reducing potential, the battery supply chain must be as clean as possible, and cathode active materials (CAM) are a key part of the sustainability equation. Automakers have high hopes for solid-state batteries, mainly because of their improved safety characteristics.
