-== Project44’s latest lawsuit in intellectual property dispute targets SMC3 ==
-John Kingston - Fri, January 3, 2025 at 11:14 AM PST
-An earlier dispute between project44 and MyCarrier has been extended to bring in SMC3, as the provider of freight visibility now accuses SMC3 of theft of intellectual property.
-The lawsuit by project44 (p44) was filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.
-Project44’s lawsuits against MyCarrier and SMC3 may be separate pieces of litigation, but they are effectively linked in describing the sequence of events that led to their filings.
-According to the lawsuit, MyCarrier had a five-year agreement with p44 that enabled MyCarrier to offer p44’s functionality through the MyCarrier transportation management system. It was signed in 2023.
-The deal would allow MyCarrier “to offer the [p44’s] features to its customers, who are typically small to medium shippers of goods without their own TMS platforms of logistics departments.”

+== Mercedes posts Tesla-like efficiency hauling 36 tons through a German winter ==
+Jo Borrás - Jun 27 2026 5:48 am PT
+Despite the rapidly growing number of heavy-duty EVs on western roads, a number of myths still persist about range, charging infrastructure, and economic viability. To combat those myths, Mercedes-Benz is sharing real-world data from 80 of its deployed electric semi trucks. Here’s what they found.
+The data released by Mercedes-Benz covers 80 battery-electric heavy trucks deployed in the company’s own logistics fleet over thousands of trips, thousands of charging cycles, and millions of miles. Their conclusion: electric long‑haul transport is viable today.
+<blockquote>
+    A real‑world example from the Ulm‑based logistics company Seifert illustrates a route between Wörth am Rhein and Bielefeld. An eActros 600 with an average gross combination weight of 36 metric tons achieves a daily mileage of around 600 km, with approximately half of the charging events taking place at public charging points. On this route, the electric truck also achieves toll savings of more than €4,000/mo. Annually, this route saves 90 metric tons of CO2e. Average energy consumption between November and February is 100 kWh per 100 km, which is equivalent to approximately 11 liters of diesel.
+    The data demonstrate that demanding long‑distance routes can already be operated reliably and predictably on this route using today’s public charging infrastructure and economically as well, when TCO is considered.
