Morgan Motor Company is planning its electric future and sharing details of a new development vehicle that will act as the forerunner to all future electric Morgan sports cars. Referred to as ‘XP-1’, the experimental prototype will provide key information to the engineers and designers at Morgan as they embark on creating the company’s first production electric models. Developed over the last 12 months by Morgan’s team of engineers based in Malvern, Worcestershire, XP-1 is based on Super 3’s aluminium platform.The striking prototype is not intended for production but has been created to enhance thinking in several key areas including driving characterisation, powertrain development, in-house EV competence and training, and new feature ideation and testing. Following 12 months of design and build, XP-1 will now embark on a comprehensive testing programme during the next 18-24 months, undergoing continual evolution to test new technology and features.XP-1’s battery, motor and inverter combination represents Morgan’s first powertrain, internal combustion or battery electric. The powertrain, engineered specifically for XP-1, gives Morgan’s engineers complete control of calibrations that vary the throttle and regeneration level at different speeds, in order to create a range of driving modes featuring a mix of driving characteristics. To aid with the identification of suitable component combinations for the powertrain – both for XP-1 and future Morgan electric models – an in-house developed full vehicle toolchain has been created. This toolchain is key to modelling the compatibility and suitability of a range of different powertrain components, calculating the range prediction algorithm and simulating different scenarios that can help the company to benchmark against future requirements.Ensuring that future electric Morgan sports cars are lightweight – as they have been throughout the company’s 114 year history – is a key requirement. This weight requirement is fundamental in the decision for the company to create its own powertrain combination, working with key partners and utilising industry leading components. As such, XP-1’s weight is comparable to that of the production car it is based on.
Mercedes-Benz has launched a new collaboration with Apple Music and Universal Music Group (UMG) that aims to revolutionise not only how music is created, but also how it’s played back and enjoyed in the car – and beyond. Understanding that many musicians and recording artists already base their approval of a new mix of a track on how it sounds when played in a car, Mercedes‑Benz, Apple Music and UMG have entered a new era of in-car entertainment by establishing the in-car audio experience as the benchmark for music production and playback quality.The new collaboration builds upon the integration of Dolby Atmos immersive audio in the optional Burmester high-end 4D and 3D sound system offered in Mercedes‑Benz vehicles with the latest MBUX generation.According to a recent survey, a more than 76% of car drivers say that having a realistic spatial sound is either “important” or “rather important” to them.[1]With this new audio standard, UMG are enabling their recording artists to base their song approval process on how the final mix sounds in a Mercedes‑Benz and introduce the seal “Approved in a Mercedes‑Benz” as a gold standard of sound. UMG additionally plans to set up a studio environment in Sindelfingen, Germany, based on its Capitol Studios’ Studio C, a major global reference music studio for Dolby Atmos mixing.

Quito, Jul 24 (EFE).-In Ecuador a year ago, company CannAndes began the challenge of generating an industry dedicated to making medicinal and therapeutic products based on cannabis, a plant stigmatized in the country for decades but that could become the raw material of the future.The company settled in the vicinity of the city of Tabacundo, about 80 kilometers north of Quito, on an Andean plateau dominated by the snow-capped Cayambe volcano.(Camera: JOSE JACOME)SOUND BITES: KLAUS GRATZE CANNANDES PRESIDENT AND NINA TAPIA, IN CHARGE OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AT CANNANDES. (IN SPANISH)TRANSLATIONS: KLAUS GRATZE CANNANDES PRESIDENT:The project was really born through my partner who started in 2017, understanding this industry, looking for something to be able to export from Ecuador to the rest of the world. We are a country that has very important advantages in terms of climate, we have the best bananas in the world, the best cocoa in the world, the best roses in the world. So he started looking for a product to be able to export it to the United States and there they began to talk to him about cannabis and the wave that was coming. This started in the world long before. The United States had already decriminalized this in some states, including its recreational use. So he began understanding and looking for the way to make it an industry that would also work in. Then the National Legislative Assembly in 2019 opened the door for non-psychoactive cannabis to be planted and cultivated with up to one percent THC. And this began in 2019 when the COIP reform was formally made, and Ecuador began to migrate to this process of using the cannabis plant in an industrial way, in a medicinal way in our day to day.NINA TAPIA, IN CHARGE OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AT CANNANDES1.They can add CBD or cannabis in absolutely anything you can eat or spread. We have an endocannabinoid system that is responsible for precisely receiving the cannabinoid molecules and what they do is generate an emosteasic balance in the body.2.And what you do is vape, vape at the office, at the bank, at the supermarket. Well now with the mask it is a little more difficult but (takes hit of vape) it has a pleasant aroma, it is natural and it helps, it helps to relax a lot. It helps especially on the issue of smokers who want to quit. So it is incredible for anxiety.3.This cream makes your hair shine more, makes your hair grow, these shampoos can also be made out of oats or flax, but CBD is better I think.4.Stress, anxiety maybe depression, lack of sleep, CBD drops are wonderful. Because what it does is, it does not induce sleep nor is it an antidepressant. What it does is help our body regulate itself, and functions are self-modulated. Then the mood just improves.
