Export Development Canada has announced the closing of a CAD $6.5M contract financing credit facility for Richmond, BC-based Corvus Energy Inc.

"The purpose of the "Adaptive City Mobility" project is the development of a complete, emission-free mobility concept for cities.

Imagine a battery-powered plane that has 10 engines and can take off like a helicopter and fly efficiently like an aircraft

Together with their partner Naval DC, Soel Yachts puts their 11 years of solar electric naval architecture experience into the SoelCat 12, a fully sustainable vessel proven for saltwater operations.

A drop-in robotic system to rapidly convert a variety of traditionally manned aircraft to robotically piloted, autonomous aircraft.

During a teleconference Cummins Inc executives shared how the Company is positioned to lead in current and future technologies, including its core business, electrification, alternative fuels and power solutions, as well as in digital capabilities, data and analytics.

Using a combination of advanced robotics and driver-less vehicle technology, Kar-Go removes up to 90% of the cost associated with the last mile of delivery.

If electric cars could recharge while driving down a highway, it would virtually eliminate concerns about their range and lower their cost, perhaps making electricity the standard fuel for vehicles.

Several organisations are working to improve the poor efficiency of a wind turbine on a boat, car, bus or similar vehicle.

Stored energy from electric vehicles can be used to power large buildings - creating new possibilities for the future of smart, renewable energy - thanks to ground-breaking battery research.

Envision Solar International Inc has received the largest single order in its history from New York City for its EV ARC products.

Electrical engineers have invented an inexpensive printed sensor that can monitor the tread of car tires in real time, warning drivers when the rubber meeting the road has grown dangerously thin.

IDTechEx are holding a free webinar on Tuesday 27 June titled Future Powertrain: EV Options and Objectives.

Continental is presenting an answer to the problems posed by the non-standardized charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. The basic idea is simple. Rather than cramming the car with extra technology to match all the different types of charging station, Continental turns the electric powertrain itself into a 'charger'.

This is the third consecutive year that Corvus has received the Supplier of the Year award and a first time win for Innovation of the Year.

NEVS recently displayed the new InMotion Concept for the very first time in Shanghai. This is not a normal car - it´s a vision on how we in the future can travel safely and efficiently through a big city, without owning the car - and without a driver.

IDTechEx reports on electric boats correctly predicted the advent of autonomous electric ships. We even see them becoming energy independent using such things as solar roads as rugged decking and airborne wind energy in the form of tethered drones flying at up to 1000 meters where the winds are consistent and have four times the energy.

IDTechEx is hosting a free webinar on Tuesday 20 June 2017 titled How Progress and Innovation in Robotic Technology is Transforming Agriculture.

BYD, has been authorized to become a local auto manufacturer in Argentina.

Hyundai used to be a leader in buses but the explosion of the huge, protected Chinese market has resulted in the global leaders consisting entirely of Chinese companies growing their sales rapidly - mainly with pure electric buses - and Daimler, with declining sales.
