I-nnovation Award recipients are recognized for their innovation in the safety of vehicles and people, connectivity, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, efficiency, noise reduction and more. The I-nnovation Awards panel of judges is comprised of trusted industry professionals from various industry publications and vehicle manufacturers, including DAF, MAN, Renault Trucks, Volvo, Iveco and others.
Allison’s eGen Power 100D was recognized for delivering superior electric vehicle propulsion efficiency, as compared to competitive solutions. This superior efficiency results in increased range capability for the electric commercial vehicle with the same battery, or the potential to reduce the size of the battery required versus competitive solutions. Allison’s eGen Power 100D e-Axle was also recognized for reducing greenhouse gases and noise emissions.
"Allison is proud to bring the eGen Power 100D electric axle to market, and we are equally honored that industry leaders have recognized our e-Axle as a truly differentiated and purpose built electric solution that delivers optimized efficiency and performance," said Manlio Alvaro, Executive Director, Europe, Middle East, and Africa Sales at Allison Transmission. "The 100D is part of a portfolio of electric and electric hybrid propulsion solutions designed to address the needs of Allison’s diverse customers. Our differentiated solutions, proven Allison durability, decades of experience with vehicle propulsion, established customer relationships and extensive service network are formidable differentiators among electric propulsion solution providers."
One of the most powerful and efficient fully integrated e-Axle systems in the world, the eGen Power 100D is designed to replace the traditional powertrain systems of heavy-duty trucks and buses. The e-Axle features two electric motors, each capable of generating greater than 200 kilowatts of continuous power, with peak combined power of 648 kilowatts. The eGen Power 100D also integrates a two-speed gearbox in the central housing, optimizing the e-Axle to enable the high starting gradeability to get heavy loads moving while also offering increased top speed and superior efficiency. Allison’s eGen Power 100D is a highly engineered and fully integrated solution that eliminates many of the inefficiencies of competitive electric axles. This is achieved through Allison’s differentiated design and packaging of the e-Axle. These performance and efficiency advantages translate directly to wide-ranging duty-cycles, increasing range capability or reducing battery pack size for the electric truck, optimizing the economic value delivered to the end user.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said it had opened an "engineering analysis" covering about 3 million vehicles to evaluate, among other things, the efficacy of recalls initiated by the two automakers. The agency added that it was aware of 161 fires occurring potentially due to engine failures. An engineering analysis is the next step in a process that could lead to a recall, although sometimes NHTSA closes such probes without requiring any action.
Wedbush analyst Dan Ives released a bullish note on Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) stock on Tuesday morning.

TAKOMA PARK, Md. - Depeswar Doley has come up with a quip for the confused, and sometimes irked, drivers who stop by his longtime gas station while trying to buy gas. Donning a bright smile and blue-striped RS Automotive shirt, he tries to disarm them with a chipper: "Give me the money! It's almost my lunch time!" That often nets a friendly expression as he explains, again, that heavy-duty electric plugs are all he's got.Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the most important and interestin
