Toyota Motor Corporation will enter a vehicle equipped with a developmental hydrogen-powered engine at the five-hour-long Super Taikyu Race in Autopolis. The hydrogen engine is being developed as part of Toyota's efforts to realize a carbon-neutral mobility society.

CATL unveiled the company's first-generation sodium-ion battery, together with its AB battery pack solution - which is able to integrate sodium-ion cells and lithium-ion cells into one pack. Sodium-ion batteries will provide a new solution for the use of clean energy and transportation electrification, thus promoting the early realization of the goal of carbon neutrality.

While vehicle interiors might be an obvious target for emerging technologies based on printed/flexible electronics, there are also plenty of opportunities for vehicle exteriors. These range from transparent heaters to solar panels, and benefit from attributes as varied as transparency, conformality, low weight, and tunable absorption spectra.

Joby Aero Inc has achieved an important milestone in the development of its aircraft, flying a full-size prototype vehicle more than 150 miles on a single charge, including a vertical take-off and landing.

In the late 1970s, M. Stanley Whittingham was the first to describe the concept of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, an achievement for which he would share the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Yet even he couldn't have anticipated the complex materials science challenges that would arise as these batteries came to power the world's portable electronics.

Under the MoU, Hyundai Motor Group and LG Energy Solution will invest a total of USD 1.1 billion into the JV to build a battery cell plant in Karawang, Indonesia. The Group and LG Energy Solution will each have a 50 percent ownership stake in the JV. The Indonesian government agrees to offer various incentives and rewards to support the stable operation of the plant.

First-of-a-kind on-street electric vehicle charge points are now officially live for testing in the London Borough of Brent.

Thermoelectric cooling, heating, and harvesting is partly a great success now, partly to be a success later. First to analyze this big picture is the new IDTechEx report, "Thermoelectric Cooling, Heating, Harvesting: 90 Companies' Achievements and Strategies Appraised with Roadmap 2022-2042".

CUSTOMCELLS, who supply international aviation, automotive and military customers, including Porsche AG, will be one of Lilium's prime suppliers, manufacturing lithium-ion batteries at scale for the all-electric 7-Seater Lilium Jet.

Air taxi operators are unfazed by the 200 or so organizations designing vertical take-off electric aircraft. Follow the economics and the orders not the fluid investments from people seeking the next Tesla. Those getting the huge investments often lack significant orders.

In this article, IDTechEx explores the role of the gas diffusion layer in PEM fuel cells, with further details on the supply chain, market shares and expected demand to 2030.

As the automotive industry moves further into the electric era, a new platform is emerging - 800V - with nine automakers already committed. It is generating hype by having the potential to enable 350kW (ten-minute) charging, breaking down the ultimate barrier for the consumer. But is it worth it? In this premium article, IDTechEx analysts analyse the challenges and benefits from a battery and system perspective.

Solid-state batteries keep on attracting tremendous attention and investment with the maturing technologies and closeness to mass production. Even with the influence of COVID-19, the potential market size is expected to grow to over $8 billion by 2031, according to IDTechEx's report "Solid-State and Polymer Batteries 2021-2031: Technology, Forecasts, Players".

To be useful, drones need to be quick. Because of their limited battery life they must complete whatever task they have - searching for survivors on a disaster site, inspecting a building, delivering cargo - in the shortest possible time.

Robotics and semi-autonomous equipment are taking humans out of mines, reducing costs and risk.

Mines increasingly use solar power so they increasingly need energy storage for hours, due to load-source mismatch, up to seasonal because solar is feeble in winter. This can transition to battery-free energy storage intimately using mine assets for grids and local industry and communities when the mine is expired as a source of minerals. This is what we cover in this article, ending with a slide on how the same applies for electricity generators.

Construction, agriculture and mining are progressing towards 100% electrics from off-grid zero emission electricity production on site, with mining sites and farm desalination particularly power hungry up to 100MW levels.

The control of industrial vehicle emissions has increasingly become the focus of stringent limitations on exhaust constituents such as NOx, CO and particulate matter, as such engine manufacturers have begun introducing innovative design changes and sophisticated engine control systems to reduce the major pollutants in diesel exhaust and comply with each successive tier level.

Over the last decade, wind energy prices have fallen 70% and solar photovoltaics have fallen 89% on average, with the cost of renewables continuing to trend downwards.
