Electric vehicles

ZeroAvia and De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to develop a line-fit and retrofit program for De Havilland Canada's aircraft models, using hydrogen-electric propulsion in both new and in-service aircraft.

Toyota Motor Corporation's president, Akio Toyoda, has held a media briefing on the group's battery electric vehicle and carbon neutrality strategies. He said that Toyota wants to prepare as many options as possible for their customers around the world.

The Government of Rwanda in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme launched a project to put more electric motorcycles on Rwanda's roads. The project aims to gradually phase out the use of traditional petrol-powered internal combustion engine motorcycles by converting them to electric bikes, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.

The shift to zero emission boats and ships has been hampered by the enormous energy consumption and correspondingly low range of conventional electric boats. Flying on computer-guided underwater wings -- known as hydrofoils -- that reduce energy consumption by 80% compared to conventional planing craft, Candela's vessels soar above the waves in silence with 2-3 times longer endurance than the best conventional electric powerboats.

Hyzon Motors Inc announced an agreement to collaborate on developing supply of zero carbon intensity hydrogen and building demand from medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicle customers in the United States and Australia.

As the electric vehicle revolution gathers momentum, there is an urgent need for the installed charging infrastructure to be smarter. Electric Miles and Project EV have agreed a deal which will address this growing problem while saving drivers money and helping the Government's ambition to make every chargepoint smart.

Volvo Cars and Northvolt will open a joint research and development centre in Gothenburg as part of a SEK 30 billion investment in battery development and manufacturing.

Manufacturers haven't yet incorporated the advanced technologies of smart cars into bicycles on a level widespread enough to make smart bikes affordable. But the industry recognizes that as the challenge of reducing global greenhouse gas emissions grows, the need to encourage more people to use bicycles instead of cars is becoming more urgent—and a critical component of this imperative is making cycling safer and easier for cyclists to share road conditions and other factors with other cyclists and with municipal managers.

Consumer products made from recycled ocean plastics include everything from sunglasses and T-shirts to running shoes and yarn. Now, Ford is adding to its legacy as a leader in sustainability and is the first automaker to use 100% recycled ocean plastics to produce automotive parts.

With the increasing influence of hydrogen energy, photovoltaic hydrogen production industry is also rapidly ignited. Photovoltaic hydrogen production mainly uses direct current generated by photovoltaic power generation systems to supply hydrogen production stations. Compared with traditional power stations, photovoltaic DC power generation systems reduce the process of inverter and voltage boost.

Electric transport does not have a motor, which means that it is practically inaudible when driving, and it is hardly noticeable, which increases the likelihood of collisions with other road users. According to European 138 UN Regulations, such vehicles must be equipped with a special sound warning system - AVAS, the task of which is to increase the visibility of silent electric vehicles.

High Power Chargers (HPCs) refer to Level 3 DC fast charging at a rate of 50 kW or more. In general, because vehicle range and battery capacities are increasing, there is an increased ability for vehicles to accept higher charge rates.

Eve Urban Air Mobility Solutions, an Embraer company, and Sydney Seaplanes announced a partnership that will lay the foundation for new electric air taxi operations in Greater Sydney. Sydney Seaplanes has placed an order for 50 of Eve's electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft with progressive deliveries expected to commence from 2026.

Coco, the robot based delivery service, announced the official launch of COCO 1, a larger, more advanced version of its signature pink bot. The COCO 1 is a first of its kind delivery robot designed and manufactured in partnership with Segway.

In determining the location for the new plant, Toyota was interested in renewable energy availability as well as support from local stakeholders, including governments, utilities, partners, and others. Candidates for the site were narrowed down based on these requirements and Greensboro-Randolph Megasite met and exceeded these needs.

In the big picture, mining is a very large, growing business. Top mining companies net around $660 billion yearly. In this article IDTechEx analyzes how mining is being electrified, relocated and redefined.

Amprius are US company who have developed silicon nanowire anodes for use in Li-ion cells. IDTechEx spoke with Amprius COO Jon Bornstein.

Radar is fundamental to automotive safety and critical to achieving emerging level 4 autonomy. While today more than 50% of new cars are shipped with one or more radars, by 2042 all new vehicles will come with multiple radars as they become a key enabler for future mobility modes, according to IDTechEx's latest report, "Automotive Radar 2022-2042".

Passengers could one day fly to the other side of the world with zero carbon emissions and just one refuelling stop, thanks to government-funded technology being unveiled today. The concept aircraft was unveiled by the Aerospace Technology Institute.

Manufacturers rely on rare earth elements, like neodymium, to create strong magnets used in motors for electronics including hybrid cars, aircraft generators, loudspeakers, hard drives and in-ear headphones. But mineral deposits containing neodymium are hard to reach and are found in just a few places on Earth.
