22 Oct 2025 | Irizar has launched two new electric buses - the ie bus and i3 Normal Floor - with over 450 km range, advanced safety systems, and modular lithium-ion batteries. The Spanish manufacturer has delivered over 1,000 electric buses globally since 2014. The new models are lighter, seat up to 53 passengers, and meet European safety and cybersecurity standards. With deployments in Europe, Latin America, and Oceania, Irizar is positioned as a global leader in zero-emission transit.
22 Oct 2025 | Automakers are accelerating eVTOL development through strategic partnerships. Archer and Stellantis lead with FAA certification targeted for 2025. Joby and Toyota follow closely, planning launches in the U.S. and Dubai by 2026. Eve, backed by Embraer and Porsche, aims for dual certification in Brazil and the U.S. XPeng and Geely expand in China and the Middle East. Hyundai’s Supernal is paused, and BYD remains in stealth. These ventures blend aerospace innovation with automotive scale.
22 Oct 2025 | BYD's Cell-to-Body (CTB) technology integrates the battery into the vehicle's structure, boosting stiffness, safety, and packaging efficiency. Unlike traditional EVs, the Blade Battery becomes part of the car's floor, enabling sleeker design and fewer components. Though serviceability and recycling pose challenges, CTB marks a bold shift in EV architecture - one that rivals are watching closely.
22 Oct 2025 | A Tesla owner's bricked EV after a software rollback highlights growing concerns over digital ownership. Critics warn that EVs are becoming "subscription machines," where features can vanish remotely. Proposed reforms include right to repair, feature permanence contracts, and regulatory oversight. As automakers like GM and Rivian expand EV offerings, the industry must decide: are EVs durable goods - or smartphones on wheels?
21 Oct 2025 | GM has ended production of its BrightDrop electric vans, leaving retailers like Target and Walmart seeking alternatives. Fewer than 2,000 vans are in service, far below expectations. Ford's E-Transit, Rivian's RCV, and Mercedes' U.S.-built eSprinter are the most viable replacements. BrightDrop's failure highlights the challenges of scaling commercial EVs amid shifting incentives and slow fleet adoption.
