Electrifying the UK heavy vehicle market
The Department for Transport Statistics reports that there were 501,500 heavy goods vehicles licenced in the UK in 2019, but only 400 of these were battery electric powered. With heavy goods vehicles being a significant contributor of carbon emissions, will we see an increase in electric power? Here, Joshua Piccaver, Electrical Design Engineer at Cressall Resistors, has explored the potential of electrifying the UK heavy vehicle market.
Hydrogen fuelled car drives for efficiency world record
A team of Dutch engineers competing to develop the world’s most efficient hydrogen fuelled car has used a British torques sensor to determine that their next generation vehicle needs a custom designed and built hub motor.To measure the efficiency of the car's drivetrain, Green Team Twente has built a bespoke test rig based on the TorqSense torque sensor made by Sensor Technology Ltd of Banbury in the UK.
How Sandvik has encouraged steel circularity
Extractive industries such as mining are responsible for 50% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. However, recycling steel from mining equipment could make all the difference. Here,Anders Åkesson, QM EHS Manager, Crushing & Screening at Sandvik Mining & Rock Technology (SMRT),Sandvik Group, explains how Sandvik has encouraged steel circularity in the mining industry.
