Nine leisurely days from Luxembourg City through the sandstone trails of Mullerthal Little Switzerland, Vianden castle ridge, the quiet Ardennes of Clervaux and Esch-sur-Sure, then Moselle wine terraces at Remich and Schengen before the return to the capital. Chargy, Tesla and Ionity where present; short hops leave time for gorge walks, castle evenings and riverside pull-offs — cool battery, unhurried pace.
Silicone Solutions for Next-Generation EV Battery Applications How are EV battery requirements evolving, and what materials will enable the next generation of electric vehicles? The electric vehicle industry is evolving at an unprecedented pace. Driven by increasing demands for longer driving ranges, ultra-fast charging, enhanced safety, lower costs, improved sustainability, and greater battery circularity, EV…
Astemo Americas will add nearly 300,000 square feet of production and warehouse space at its two manufacturing plants in Berea, Kentucky, and spend more than $112 million to increase output of hybrid EV motors there. The investment is the first phase of a multi-year program to increase hybrid EV powertrain component production across Astemo’s Kentucky…
Hyundai Mobis has begun mass production of Power Electric (PE) systems at a new plant in Nováky, Slovakia, the company’s first European site building the integrated electric powertrain units. A PE system combines an electric motor, an inverter and a reduction gear in a single assembly. The plant, in Slovakia’s Trenčín Region, sits on a…
Dacia has pulled the wraps off the second‑generation Spring, marking a decisive new chapter in the brand’s electric strategy. Still 100% Dacia but now entirely redesigned, the new Spring arrives as a smarter, more robust A‑segment EV built in Europe and engineered to deliver exactly what everyday drivers need. The original Spring became a breakthrough model, selling more than 210,000 units across...
The BYD Sealion 7 in the Excellence AWD version left a very good impression after just a few days of driving. It costs 212,000 zł in Poland during the promotion period and impresses with its comfort, space, and large battery, though it also has several notable drawbacks in terms of software and regenerative braking.
Romanian brand Dacia has officially unveiled its entirely new budget electric vehicle, the Spring, built on the RG-EV platform. Details available at Autocentre.ua.
Eleven days from Riga through Jurmala beach light, the sandstone gorges of Gauja National Park, Sigulda and Cesis castle hills, Cape Kolka where the two Baltics meet, then Ventspils harbour, Liepaja amber shore and Kuldiga waterfall town before the return to the capital. Elektrum Drive, Neste and Tesla in the cities; coastal and forest legs need a cool battery and daylight on the pine roads of Kurzeme.
Manufacturing an EV battery requires much more than assembling cells. A gigafactory combines chemical processing, solvent recovery, vacuum drying, electrolyte filling, cell formation, cooling, and final battery assembly, all supported by an extensive network of piping and process equipment. During electrode production, solvents such as NMP must be transferred, contained, and recovered. Vacuum drying and…
What do Florida sheriffs have to do with EV charging? Nothing, as far as we know, except that there is a public procurement resource called the Florida Sheriffs Association Cooperative Purchasing Program, which allows public agencies in Florida to simplify procurements by providing a pool of pre-qualified vendors. One of these vendors is Verdek, a…
