Ettractive Inc. Announces New Truck Program for New EV Tech Developers

 Ettractive today announced the launch of their Next Generation Truck Program, offering the opportunity for developers of new electrification technology to be part of a focused vehicle marketing and demonstration program in the North American market.

“There is such a high quantity and quality of emerging technology that is right on the fringes of the mainstream. With this program, we are actively seeking out those companies who are developing this tech and giving them an opportunity to be part of this North American market truck.” – Pat Troy CTO, Ettractive Inc.

With continual advancements in the market, Ettractive will provide a platform for these technologies aboard a demonstration vehicle which seeks to showcase the latest and greatest products and services. During the program, Ettractive will integrate each of the selected products into a class 4-6 truck which will visit each of the major truck and fleet trade shows in the US and Canada in late 2022 and 2023. The truck will be available for ride-and-drive events and individually-scheduled demonstrations for the potential customers of the technology suppliers, with all logistics facilitated by Ettractive.

“We’re providing a platform to assemble and integrate all of this tech together on one vehicle and show the possibilities of electric trucking at the leading edge of the industry. Ettractive’s integration capability will also be on display, as we integrate and optimize the various advancements for this vehicle.” – Patrick Thompson Business Development Leader, Ettractive Inc.

The Next Generation Truck Program is currently soliciting new technologies from around the globe which are capable of pushing the boundaries of large vehicle electrification. Developers of battery, charging and propulsion technology are of particular interest to the program, including new cell chemistries and multi-speed transmissions or e-axles. Auxiliary systems such as power steering, HVAC, thermal management and braking also represent big opportunities for increases in efficiency of commercial electric vehicles. Ettractive will provide all mechanical, electrical and digital integration of the selected system into a North American market truck at its R&D center in Windsor, Ontario. The timeline for the program will be contingent on delivery timelines from the selected parties. Tech selection will be completed by Q1 2022. All interested companies should contact Ettractive via nextgentruck@ettractive.com.

Putin Explains Why Russia Isn't Helping Iran Militarily: “They Haven’t Asked”

In a direct and candid statement at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed a growing international question: Why is Russia not offering military support to Iran amid escalating tensions with Israel? “Iran has not asked us for military assistance,” Putin said in response to a pointed question from a journalist. “And under our treaty, there is no obligation for us to intervene unless requested.” The Russian leader referred to the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty signed between Russia and Iran in January 2025. While the treaty has deepened bilateral cooperation in trade, energy, and defense technology, it does not contain a mutual defense clause , meaning Moscow is not compelled to support Iran in the event of an armed conflict. Putin further revealed that Russia had offered joint air defense initiatives , but Iran declined . “We proposed cooperation in defending airspace, but Iran did not show much interest,”...

A study on the risk of coronavirus transmission in Oslo found that people who went to a gym were no more likely to get infected, or sick than people who didn’t. Norway has reopened its gyms based on the tentative results, which were published as a preprint yesterday and still need to go through peer review. But some epidemiologists aren’t so sure. It’s possible that no one was infected at those Oslo gyms because there were very few COVID-19 cases in the city when the study was done—not because working up a sweat on the treadmill or lifting weights in the midst of a pandemic is safe. So far, crucial decisions to reopen public spaces after lockdowns are being made on the basis of little evidence. Every child returning to school and every Zumba fan returning to class is taking part in a large, uncontrolled experiment. A much better approach is to carefully study the impact of e...

 When her baby started struggling to breathe, Stella Praveen had a terrible feeling that something was gravely wrong with her 14-month-old daughter, Ellen.
