JetZero's Z4 aircraft, developed with SHZ Advanced Technologies, uses cryogenic liquid hydrogen and a blended-wing design to achieve zero-emission flight. Capable of carrying 250 passengers over 9,000 km, it burns hydrogen in modified jet turbines, emitting only water vapor. While infrastructure and safety challenges remain, the Z4 represents a major leap toward sustainable, long-haul aviation.
The Sialia 45 is a 15-meter electric cruiser that challenges conventional expectations of range and performance. Built with lightweight carbon fiber and powered by advanced battery systems, it offers silent, zero-emission cruising with luxury features. Designed for day trips or short coastal voyages, it represents a new class of sustainable yachting without sacrificing comfort or style.
Electronmash, based in Lviv, continues producing electric trams, buses, and trolleybuses despite wartime disruption. Focused on Ukraine's domestic market, it supplies cities with modular, low-floor vehicles tailored to local needs. Though resilient and EU-compatible, it faces stiff competition from European manufacturers like Solaris and VDL. Post-war, it could play a key role in regional electrified transit.
Audi's Concept C is a bold electric roadster that redefines the brand’s design and performance ethos. Inspired by Bauhaus minimalism and motorsport heritage, it features a dual-motor PPE platform, 89kWh battery, and over 300 miles of range. Slated for 2027 production, it positions Audi as a premium EV innovator, countering tech-heavy rivals with emotional clarity and radical simplicity.
Over 85 scientists condemned a Trump Administration climate report for misrepresenting data and downplaying climate threats. Critics say it mimics the "tobacco strategy" - manufacturing doubt to delay action - by cherry-picking evidence and bypassing peer review. Led by fossil fuel allies, the Department of Energy's review promotes fossil fuel industry interests and could influence future policy despite broad scientific rejection.
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.
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.
