How is the UK's EV market adapting to the ICE ban?
The ICE ban will prohibit the sale of all new petrol and diesel-powered cars from 2030, with all hybrid vehicles to follow in 2035. The ban was originally supposed to begin in 2040, but the UK Government has brought the date forward to reduce carbon emissions and improve the chances that nations will reach net zero by 2050.
Hamamatsu Photonics release wavelength-swept quantum cascade laser
By leveraging its micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) technology and optical mounting technology, Hamamatsu Photonics has designed and developed a t wavelength-swept quantum cascade laser (QCL) to a size that is 1/150th that of previous products.
Crossover to electric aircraft progressing
Electraflyer has announced that it has passed crossover, meaning it now sells more battery-electric aircraft than polluting ones. Pipistrel sold over 100 battery-electric aircraft last year as they take over from its traditional offerings. Bye Aerospace does not even make conventional aircraft. With its Tesla-style approach, its order book exceeds 720 battery-electric aircraft evenly split between two and four-seaters.
FEV enables holistic vehicle development for future trucks
When it comes to reducing emissions across the automotive landscape, commercial vehicles play a critical role. The global enactment of regulations to limit CO2 emissions from new heavy-duty commercial vehicles in particular poses major challenges for OEMs. FEV offers a wide range of solutions for future commercial vehicles to meet even the strictest specifications among different applications. In addition to advanced powertrain and propulsion sys...
Parker joins Hydrogen Council to accelerate deployment of clean energy solutions
Parker Hannifin has announced it has joined the Hydrogen Council, a global CEO-led initiative of leading companies with a united vision and long-term ambition: for hydrogen to foster the clean energy transition and create a better, more resilient future.
Solar-to-hydrogen tech improves in efficiency
Researchers have made a major breakthrough in the use of solar energy to generate hydrogen fuel, a potential green power storage medium. New research on barium tantalum oxynitride semiconductors has uncovered a technique that makes the technology 100 times more efficient. The breakthrough could help make practical an alternative, solar power-based hydrogen generation method.
Electric boats square off in Monaco e-boat race
The Monaco Yacht Club hosted the first competition between greenenergy boats. Candela C-7, an electric foiling boat, is available for test drives during the event. Teams from around the world gather in Monaco this week in preparation to race their electric boatsduring the Monaco Energy Challenge, a competition that ‘aims to stimulate the creativity of tomorrow’s engineers and the industry to develop propulsion methods using clean ener...

Electrifying the UK heavy vehicle market
The Department for Transport Statistics reports that there were 485,900 heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) licenced in the UK in 2020, but only 400 of these were battery electric powered. With HGVs being a significant contributor of carbon emissions, will we see an increase in electric power? Here, Simone Bruckner, Managing Director ofpower resistor manufacturerCressall, has explored the potential of electrifying the UK heavy vehicle market.
