US Solheim Cup captain Angela Stanford takes assistant job at alma mater TCU after loss to Europe

BYD has unveiled its largest electric commercial vehicle for Europe, the ETT 44, which boasts a 651-kilowatt-hour battery, up to 1,000 horsepower, and over 1.5 megawatts of charging power. The truck, designed to carry loads up to 44 tonnes, can travel up to 600 kilometres on a single charge. A notable feature of the ETT 44 is its ability to charge from 20% to 80% in approximately 20 minutes using BYD's 1.5-megawatt charging system.

This rapid charging capability, paired with an integrated approach that includes vehicle, battery, charging infrastructure, energy storage, and financing, could give BYD an advantage in the European long-haul truck market. Established manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, MAN, and Scania are also racing to develop battery-electric freight options, making BYD's ETT 44 a significant entry into the European market.
