In sub-Saharan Africa, high levels of particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution from vehicle tailpipe emissions cause poor health, developmental stunting, and even death. Vehicle emissions also contribute to global warming.This post was originally published on this […]

A recent study investigates the thermal design of silicon carbide (SiC) power modules for motor drives in electric vehicles, with a focus on optimizing the layout of Pinfin structures to enhance thermal performance. The work […]

The integration of automated vehicles promises several benefits for urban mobility, including increased safety, reduced traffic congestion, and enhanced accessibility. Automated vehicles also enable drivers to engage in non-driving related tasks (NDRTs) like relaxing, working, […]

Scientists at TU Delft have developed a new model that better describes human behavior when merging into motorway traffic. Current models often assume that drivers are constantly trying to optimize their behavior to reach their […]

On the quiet streets of an Oslo suburb, electric vehicles are parked in nearly every other driveway as Norway speeds towards its goal of becoming the first country free of fossil fuel-powered cars.This post was […]

Researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a high-tech drowning prevention and rescue system and introduced it to a scenic water area in Central China’s Henan […]

As the price of fuel soared in Ethiopia earlier this year, Awgachew Seleshi decided to buy an electric car. That aligned with the government’s new efforts to phase out gas-powered vehicles. But months later, he’s […]

Japan is planning to build an automated cargo transport corridor between Tokyo and Osaka, dubbed a “conveyor belt road” by the government, to make up for a shortage of truck drivers.This post was originally published […]

Apps such as Google Maps, Apple Maps and Waze can tell drivers when they are approaching speed cameras or random breath testing stations. Countries such as Germany, France and Switzerland have banned apps from displaying […]
