Fraunhofer researchers have presented a magnesium-based “Powerpaste” that stores hydrogen energy at 10 times the density of a lithium battery, offering hydrogen fuel cell vehicles the ability to travel further than gasoline-powered ones, and refuel in … Continue reading Powerpaste packs clean hydrogen energy in a safe, convenient gray goop
While a multitude of companies are jostling to compete in the emerging electric VTOL air taxi market, it’s very rare to find aircraft designs carrying more than five people. But British multinational giant GKN Aerospace is looking into something much b… Continue reading GKN Aerospace proposes eVTOL Skybus transports for 30 to 50 passengers
Researchers at the Queensland University of Technology have added another hybrid supercapacitor design to the mix, promising the near-instant charge and discharge of a supercap with vastly improved energy storage on par with NiMH batteries.Continue Rea… Continue reading Hybrid supercapacitor offers NiMH energy density, charges much faster
Hyundai is serious about its eVTOL air taxi division, and has partnered with the UK Government, the Coventry City Council and Urban Air Port (UAP) to open a dedicated eVTOL and drone launch facility – the “world’s smallest airport,” in England later th… Continue reading Hyundai to build “world’s first” eVTOL airport in Coventry this year
Where will hydrogen fit in the clean transport mix? Not in trucking, says one of the world’s largest heavy duty vehicle manufacturers, which is scaling back its fuel cell big-rig research and development operations in favor of battery-electric power.Co… Continue reading Major manufacturer drops hydrogen trucks in favor of battery-electrics

“The federal government … owns an enormous fleet of vehicles, which we’re going to replace with clean electric vehicles made right here in America made by American workers,” said President Joe Biden on Monday, signaling he’s willing to use his new of… Continue reading Biden’s bold EV promise could re-shape the auto landscape
Shelby Supercars has cemented its claim that the SSC Tuatara is the world’s fastest car – but in a weirdly underwhelming fashion. Its new record of 282.9 mph (455.3 km/h) is nowhere near the previous claim, which was sensationally debunked last year in a storm of internet controversy.

China’s closest Tesla Model 3 competitor, the XPeng P7, launched in April last year, loaded to the gills with enough self-driving sensors and computers to achieve full autonomy once the software is ready. Today, an OTA update gives the P7 more than 40 … Continue reading Tesla rival XPeng P7 gets significant self-driving software updates
The enormous 1290 Super Adventure has only been with us since 2015, but it’s already into its third generation with today’s rather late announcement of a 2021 S model. The S here denotes this bike as the more street-focused version; there’s an R with 2… Continue reading Third-gen KTM 1290 Super Adventure S is a radar-cruise super-hooligan
