Segway shows X Cruiser electric two-wheeler with roll cage and seatbelt options at EICMA
By Eve
Segway used EICMA to unveil a broad range of new electric motorcycles, with the X Cruiser the most unconventional of them. The two-wheeler is being developed for production with cage and semi-cage structures, four-direction collision protection, staged energy absorption and seatbelt restraints, plus standard blind spot detection and lane change warning. Segway showed several configurations, from a partially enclosed scooter-like setup to versions with a race-car-style seat and protective framing around the rider.
Why it matters
Safety-led electric two-wheelers that sit between motorcycles and cars could widen the range of vehicles using public and depot charging. Procurement teams and CPOs should watch whether the X Cruiser reaches production, as the input gives no figures on battery size, charging specification or release timing.

Peugeot e-Expert van offers up to 356 km WLTP range with 75 kWh battery and 11 kW three phase onboard charger
In a sponsored feature (commercial collaboration with Peugeot) tied to the October 2026 price list update, the 136 hp (100 kW) e-Expert is offered with a 49 kWh battery for 226 km or a 75 kWh battery for 356 km WLTP, at 23.2 to 24.7 kWh per 100 km. It has an 11 kW three phase bidirectional onboard charger with V2L readiness, and up to 31 minutes to recover 80% of charge. It comes in M (4.98 m) and XL (5.33 m) lengths with roughly 1,000 kg payload, and includes the e-ROUTES app for 10 years via Connect ONE to plan charging stops.
Why it matters
A mid-size van with a 75 kWh pack and a three phase 11 kW onboard charger points to depot and overnight charging as the main use case for tradespeople and fleets, so site specifications should assume AC provision at that level. Bidirectional capability with V2L readiness and built-in charge stop planning are also worth noting when scoping fleet charging contracts.
Envoy and LACI Collaborate on Electric Car Sharing Across New Jersey in $8.5 Million Initiative Funded by NJDEP
Envoy and LACI are working together to bring electric car sharing across New Jersey, through an initiative worth $8.5 million and funded by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). Residents would be able to use shared electric vehicles by the hour or day, without the ongoing financial commitments of vehicle ownership. The item was published by COCH Stock News, and the excerpt gives no site counts, vehicle numbers or timelines.
Why it matters
State funded shared EV fleets can create steady, predictable charging demand, so CPOs and installers may find opportunities if the programme specifies charging provision. Procurement teams should watch for further detail on locations, vehicle numbers and who will supply and operate the chargers.
Hillcrest and Equipmake sign definitive agreement to jointly develop and license ZVS inverter technology for heavy duty electric vehicles
Hillcrest and Equipmake have signed a definitive agreement to jointly develop and license ZVS inverter technology aimed at heavy duty electric vehicles, according to a HLRTF Stock News listing. Royalties depend on Equipmake beginning commercial sales, and Hillcrest retains ownership of its ZVS technology. The listing gives no financial terms, volumes or timelines.
Why it matters
Heavy duty vehicle powertrain developments shape the future power and depot charging requirements that CPOs and procurement teams will need to serve. With royalties tied to Equipmake starting commercial sales and no dates disclosed, this is a pipeline signal to watch rather than a near term demand driver.
