Czech company Zuri has commenced hover testing on its first near-scale VTOL air taxi tech demonstrator. With a hybrid powertrain on board, this team promises real-world range figures up to 720 km (447 miles) at cruise speeds up to 320 km/h (200 mph).Co… Continue reading Hybrid Czech eVTOL begins hover tests, claiming 720-km range
Toyota has developed a new platform for battery electric vehicles, that it’s calling Beyond Zero. Vehicles using this modular BEV platform can be sized as needed to fit various needs. The first of those vehicles will be the bZ4X, a small SUV to launch … Continue reading Toyota announces new bZ4X all-electric vehicle on Beyond Zero platform

It was just this week that we told you about the Kinner, a rather attractive Finnish velomobile. Well, another head-turner has now come to our attention – this one is called the Northern Light 428, and it looks like a human-powered rocket.Continue Read… Continue reading Northern Light velomobile may be blue, but its hybrid drive runs green
Last year, France’s Pixii SAS released a digital rangefinder camera that shared its workload with a paired smartphone. Now an update has launched, packing a higher-resolution image sensor, and a viewfinder that’s now overlaid with shot info.Continue Re… Continue reading Pixii digital rangefinder gets bigger sensor, interactive viewfinder
Most eVTOL startups are focused on air taxi applications, rocking between two and six seats – but a few are thinking bigger. GKN Aerospace and Kelekona, for example, are working to get 30 to 50-seat monsters into the skies, taking more of a mass transi… Continue reading Craft Aero proposes a new type of blown diamond box-wing 9-seat eVTOL
UK startup Fering is gearing up to build electric vehicles for cross-continental explorers. It’s starting out with the Pioneer, a go-anywhere brick outhouse of a thing designed for monster range figures under the most extreme circumstances on Earth.Con… Continue reading Range-extended electric 4WD expedition vehicle claims 4,350-mile range
We knew from the start that 2021 was going to take some unexpected twists, but we never thought we’d be writing about the return of the Lamborghini Countach. But the supercar great that widened eyes and hastened heartbeats of children and wealthy busin… Continue reading Lamborghini Countach roars back to the future as an 800-hp hybrid
Superyacht designer Steve Kozloff has turned his hand to next-gen aviation with a twin-prop VTOL aircraft that promises a monster 1,380-mile (2,222-km) range, as well as the ability to take off and land conventionally where there’s a runway.Continue Re… Continue reading Pegasus hybrid-electric VTOL promises massive range, no redundancy
Although electric multicopter drones have many potential applications, their 30-minute-or-less battery life limits their actual uses. The gas/electric HAMR hybrid is designed to address that limitation, offering flight times of up to 3.5 hours.Continue… Continue reading Hybrid drone can fly for over three hours, or carry up to six pounds
