Nordic Micromobility Operator Ryde Clocks 100 Million Trips
28 Jun 2025 | Synopsis
"Founded in 2019, Ryde's CEO Tobias Balchen notes "In several cities, it can't meet rider demand due to strict fleet caps – "we'd see significantly higher ridership if the regulations allowed more flexibility"Ryde rolled out 30,000 new e-scooters across its Nordic markets this spring. With this expansion, the operator is targeting 50 million trips in 2025 alone...started planning its entrance into new markets beyond the Nordics in 2026."
ALA President: Electric School Buses Protect Kids' Health. Congress Should Continue To Support Them
28 Jun 2025 | Synopsis
"...most of the half million school buses on the road are diesel-powered...The toxic exhaust from diesel-burning buses is unsafe for students, drivers, and residents of the communities they drive through and park in."...electric school buses [are] the only type of school bus with no tailpipe emissions. Over a quarter of a million students already ride these clean buses to school each day.
"46 percent of Americans - 156.1 million people - are living in places that get failing grades for unhealthy levels of ozone or particle pollution. "
Plugged In: A Lasagna-Lover's Guide to EV Battery Cell Anatomy
28 Jun 2025 | Synopsis
We "say food is fuel, which turns out to be a perfect metaphor for understanding how electric vehicle batteries work - they're built like lasagna."In our current battery design, each module holds 24 battery cells, technically called pouch form factor cells - our 24 servings of lasagna...The key to good lasagna is keeping the ricotta and sauce from mixing into a gooey mess...while in a battery cell, a thin polymer separator keeps the cathode and anode materials apart."
SiriNor's Groundbreaking Electric Jet Engine: No Fossil Fuels, Just Pure Electric Power
28 Jun 2025 | Synopsis
"SiriNor's engine represents a breakthrough in non-combustion jet propulsion. Unlike traditional turbines that rely on burning jet fuel, this system uses electricity to power tip-mounted motors around a central fan, effectively driving airflow through the engine."The aircraft likely to adopt these engines first will be in the 9- to 30-seat range - suitable for regional hops of 500 to 900 kilometers."
These Countries Are Electrifying Their Bus Fleets the Fastest
27 Jun 2025 | Synopsis
"Buses - including city, coach and school buses - make up approximately 5% of global transport carbon dioxide emissions. Electrifying the bus fleet could also provide a model for electrifying trucks, which make up about a quarter of transport emissions."Five countries - China, the Netherlands, Finland, Switzerland and Denmark - are already setting an example by growing their electric bus sales from less than 6% to more than 60%..."

California's Q3 ZEV Surge: The EV Endgame?
13 Oct 2025 | 
California broke its ZEV sales record in Q3 2025, hitting 124,755 units and 29.1% market share. The surge was fueled by expiring federal incentives, but sustained by state infrastructure, rebates, and growing model diversity. Tesla's dominance is waning as non-Tesla brands gain ground. With 200,000+ public chargers and a 35% ZEV target by 2026, California's EV market shows lasting momentum and offers a blueprint for national adoption.
The Real Cost of Clinging to Fossil Fuels
13 Oct 2025 | 
The Las Vegas Review-Journal editorial warns of rising costs from clean energy, but critics argue renewables are now cheaper than fossil fuels. Infrastructure upgrades and legacy fuel contracts - not solar or wind - drive higher bills. Fossil fuels carry hidden costs like pollution and health impacts. Clean energy investments are transitional and necessary. The real challenge is managing the shift, not avoiding it. Clinging to fossil fuels is costlier long-term.
Harnessing the Wind: Rotor Sails on Scandinavian Ferries
13 Oct 2025 | 
Scandlines ferries use rotor sails - spinning cylinders that harness the Magnus effect to generate lift and reduce fuel use. Most effective in crosswinds, the rotors spin to face the wind and produce forward thrust. Modern versions use lightweight composites and electric motors powered by hybrid systems. Though ineffective in headwinds, they switch to engine power, avoiding stall. Fuel savings reach up to 20%, aiding Scandlines' goal of emission-free operations by 2040.
Singapore Awards Groundbreaking Contract for Level 4 Autonomous Bus Trial
12 Oct 2025 | 
Singapore's LTA has awarded a contract to MKX Technologies, MOGOX, and BYD to launch Level 4 autonomous electric buses by 2026. Six 16-seater buses will operate on Services 191 and 400, with MOGOX providing self-driving tech, BYD supplying the buses, and MKX managing the project. Safety operators will be onboard initially. The trial supports Singapore’s smart mobility goals and could expand to 100–150 buses if successful.
