Nikola Motors unveiled its zero-emission hydrogen-powered electric semi-truck called the Nikola One, which aims to compete against the largest truck manufacturers in the world and fight climate change at the same time. Unveiled at the company's headquarters in Salt Lake City, the class 8 semi-truck will be powered by both lithium batteries and hydrogen fuel cells which generate over 1,000 horsepower and 2,000 ft-lbs of torque and enable the truck to travel up to 1,200 miles on a single charge. Leasing the Nikola One will cost customers between $5,000 and $7,000 per month for a 72 month term and includes unlimited hydrogen fuel at their network of stations. Nikola Motors have already received pre-orders worth $3 billion and plans to build a network of fuel stations across the US and Canada starting in January 2018.
One street artist is taking Moscow by storm with his ability to transform dirty vehicles into works of art by drawing masterpieces on them. Nikita Golubev, who goes by the handle ProBoyNick, carves intricate images into the grime built up on the back of semis and other vehicles that he finds parked on the Moscow streets. Nikita Golubev, who studied medicine and is a paediatrician by profession, moonlights as an artist, drawing pictures on vehicles parked on streets throughout the Russian capital.

Nikita posts his artwork regulary on his Instagram account and his work has gotten some serious recognition. He now boasts nearly 20,000 followers, causing him to get noticed by some big time Moscow TV shows. It looks like doing the dirty work is starting to pay off big for Nikita Golubev.
Russian vehicle manufacturer Avtoros tested a new, specially modified version of its 8x8 Shaman off-road vehicle in Tver Region on Tuesday. The vehicle will be used to greet and collect Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergei Volkov in Kazakhstan after his return from the International Space Station (ISS) in April. Avtoros Sales and Marketing Department Head Evgeni Kolobov explained the modifications made on the vehicle, saying "we've installed an additional radio transmitter in the vehicle – seeing as it will be used in places with no cellular reception. On top of this, we have created additional space for equipment, which is necessary for the cosmonauts collection mission." "We have got a welding and painting workshop. We can completely produce the body and then set it on the vehicle. After that we assemble the interior plastic parts which are also produced right here, as well as the exterior parts," added Kolobov. A second version of the all-terrain vehicle will soon be delivered to London to be featured in the car review show Top Gear.
Fire fighters in China's capital city of Beijing are literally going to war against fires. Their weapon of choice? A fire truck with multiple rocket launchers which fire canisters full of flame retardant material right into the heat of the fire from a distance of nearly a thousand feet away. Beijing has introduced the state-of-the-art fire-extinguishing system based on the concept of multiple rocket launcher vehicles used by militaries around the world. Just in case you're wondering about the main target of these systems Although fires in skyscrapers are fairly uncommon, they do occur more often than we like to think, and most fire trucks are useless in battling blazes located above 30 floors high. The Chinese rocket launcher fire truck will respond to skyscraper blazes in Beijing's Central Business District. The new system, built by China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, is ready for duty in Beijing's Hujialou fire-fighting squadron.
