Lotus has unveiled the prices and specifications for one of the most eagerly anticipated models in its history – the award-winning Eletre Hyper-SUV. The news was delivered during Lotus Eletre: Unleash the Future, a global broadcast watched by tens of thousands of customers and fans around the world.The Eletre is the all-new and all-electric lifestyle model from Lotus, as it continues its transformation from a UK sports car company to a global performance car business and brand.It is the first of a new breed of pure electric SUVs. It takes the core principles and Lotus DNA from almost 75 years of sports car design and engineering, evolving them into a desirable all-new lifestyle car for the next generation of Lotus customers.The company’s famed expertise in the fields of ride and handling, steering and optimised aerodynamics, have been carefully and respectfully evolved. The Eletre takes the soul of the latest Lotus sports car – the Emira – and the revolutionary aero performance of the all-electric Evija hypercar, and reinterprets them as a Hyper-SUV.
The Nissan LEAF is now rolling into model year 2021 with a new sound: an acoustic vehicle warning system (AVAS) will in future provide information about the approaching, otherwise almost silent electric car. The Japanese automobile manufacturer is thus once again improving the already high level of safety of its e-pioneer.
Audi is the first German automobile manufacturer to race in Formula E. The brand with the four rings is taking ABT Sportsline's slot on the FE grid in the ...
Manual labourers working in the Osaka shipyard have turned to a commercial exoskeleton in order to relieve stress on their back, increase efficiency, and stay healthier longer. The Power Assist Suit Atoun Model A, as it is snappily known, uses two high-torque AC, battery-powered motors and a sophisticated gearing system to allow users to far exceed their own strength, enabling humans to lift heavy objects all day without breaking a sweat.
An autonomous 'nuclear battery' displayed at the 2017 Atomexpo exhibition in Moscow on Tuesday can provide power for a period of around 50 years. Developed by the Lutch Research Institute which is affiliated with Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom, the battery may revolutionize the stored energy market and even the very concept of batteries. The Rosatom nuclear battery, whic is based on the isotope of nickel-63, is set to undergo several years of testing.
This array of 149 Xenon short-arc lamps is called Synlight, and it's designed to be an artificial sun. Invented by the German Aerospace Centre, or DLR, Synlight can produce up to 10,000 times the intensity of natural sunlight experienced on Earth. Researchers and scientists turned on their machine for Ruptly in Juelich on Monday. The Synlight array measures 45 by 52 feet but all the powerful bulbs are designed to concentrate their light radiation on a small space which measures just 8 inches by 8 inches. Its inventors claim that the synthetic sun can generated temperatures up to 3000 degrees Celsius and beyond. Synlight was created with a specific purpose in mind. Hydrogen fuel, considered by many to be the fuel of the future because it emits no carbon when burned, is derived by breaking water down into its base atoms. However, this process requires a huge amount of heat energy. Synlight is meant to power the reaction to obtain hyrdogen fuel in a way that uses as little fossil fuels as possible. The high power array also has potential uses in other fields as well, including scientific research and commercial applications which require an intense source of heat. The project cost about 3.5 million euro to buid, funding which was provided by the German government and automaker BMW.
