Atlanta – September 17, 2026 -- SlateSafety has launched the BEACON V3, a connected multi-sensor device that monitors worker exposure to heat, noise and lone-worker emergencies without relying on personal phones or IT infrastructure.

Device combines thermal, noise and lone worker monitoring in one unit

The BEACON V3 can be worn or mounted at industrial sites, tracking air temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, dew point, heat index, Humidex and estimated Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (eWBGT) to flag heat stress risks in real time.

For noise exposure, the device measures Sound Pressure Level with configurable A, C or Z weightings and Fast or Slow response times, calculating Leq, Dose, Projected Dose, Time Weighted Average (TWA) and Projected TWA to warn against long-term hearing damage.

Södertälje, Sweden – September 17, 2026 -- Scania has engineered an electric long-haul truck configuration capable of up to 720 kilometres of range, combining expanded battery capacity with megawatt charging system (MCS) support to tackle one of freight electrification's toughest segments.

Battery packs behind the cab add 356 kWh of capacity

In a typical configuration, two MP20 battery packs mounted behind the cab add approximately 356 kWh of installed capacity, supplementing existing chassis- and under-cab-mounted batteries. This layout lets operators scale energy storage without solely depending on chassis-mounted batteries, giving fleets more flexibility to balance range against payload on demanding routes.

The 2 percent energy reduction, which varies by vehicle specification and operation, stems from exterior changes that lower air drag. These include digital rear-view mirrors, side skirt extensions, redesigned A-pillars, new door handles and a front end built to support Increased Vehicle Dimension legislation. Scania says the efficiency improvement applies across both combustion and battery-electric powertrains, translating into lower fuel use for diesel fleets and reduced electricity draw for electric trucks.
