Lamborghini has unveiled the first details of the first HPEV (High Performance Electrified Vehicle) hybrid super sports car, codenamed LB744, which will make its debut shortly in the year that Lamborghini celebrates its 60th anniversary. With the LB744, Lamborghini has established a new benchmark in terms of performance and driving pleasure: an all-new architecture with new powertrain delivers more than 1000 CV in total, combining the power of a brand new 12-cylinder internal combustion engine with three electric motors and a ground-breaking double clutch gearbox that makes its debut on the 12-cylinder Lamborghini.The car showcases an unprecedented layout: the naturally-aspirated 6.5-liter V12 mid-mounted engine is complemented by three electric motors, one of which is integrated into the new double-clutch eight-speed gearbox. This is mounted transversely and placed for the first time behind the combustion engine. In what has been the transmission tunnel since the days of the Countach, there is a lithium-ion battery instead, which powers the electric motors.The electric motors boost power delivery at low revs and can also turn the new LB744 into a purely electric car, reducing overall CO2 emissions by 30% compared to the Aventador Ultimae.

Plug-in hybrid cars are here to stay. Not only do they enable you to drive in 100% electric mode, but thanks to the combination of their two engines, they are very versatile vehicles. However, some people believe, for example, that they are not suitable for long journeys, because if you do not find a charging point on the road you are stuck. We dispel this and other false claims with Neus Mesalles, a Complete Vehicle Engineer at SEAT, at the wheel of the brand’s first PHEV, the Leon e-HYBRID.
Sales of electric and hybrid vehicles increased by 121% in the ten main markets in Europe in the third quarter of 2020This increase likewise results in more user doubts and questionsThe main doubts are about practical issues such as whether they are all automatic or whether the heating affects battery consumptionSEAT’s electromobility Learning Center offers a training programme on hybrid and electric vehicles for all company employees
Scientists used to say there were millions of tons of ice in the permanently shadowed craters of the moon’s poles. Now, HuffPost reports a pair of studies in the journal Nature Astronomy says there's far, far more potential water available. Twenty percent more, to be exact. A team led by the University of Colorado's Paul Hayne says more than 15,400 square miles of lunar terrain have the capability to trap water in the form of ice. However, lead researcher Casey Honniball says the molecules are so far apart that they are in neither liquid nor solid form. To be clear, this is not puddles of water. Casey Honniball, Lead Researcher Postdoctoral fellow, NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Maryland Greater access to water could allow astronauts and robots more places to land, and support future lunar bases. Scientists believe the moon's water came from comets, asteroids, interplanetary dust, solar wind, or even lunar volcanic eruptions.
New research suggests deaths in America have been seriously undercounted. According to Gizmodo, a new study estimates that between March and July, there were 225,000 more deaths in the US than expected. Of those fatalities, a little over half were officially attributed to the novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 can damage the heart, which may partially account for the increase in deaths attributed to heart disease seen in some weeks. States with spikes in COVID-19 deaths also saw more excess deaths generally during those spikes, further implicating the virus as the cause. COVID-19 is also thought to have caused thousands of deaths indirectly, by people being too afraid to seek medical help for chronic conditions.
