Sponsored by TTI and Murata. Wi-Fi 7 positions itself as a key technology for advanced automotive connectivity, supporting up to 16 spatial streams and a 320MHz channel width. Its high bandwidth capacity addresses the data transmission requirements of ADAS and autonomous driving applications. This paper, titled “Murata Wi-Fi 7 Automotive Connectivity and Efficiency White,” outlines… Read more »
Ampere, Renault Group’s EV and software unit, has signed a joint development agreement with Basquevolt to accelerate development and validation of lithium metal-based batteries aimed at meeting “Pre-A Sample” EV prototype requirements. Basquevolt says its lithium metal-based technology—combining a polymer electrolyte with an advanced anode—could deliver a major jump in energy density compared with today’s… Read more »
Battery metals recycling and refining firm Aqua Metals has signed a three-year material supply agreement with US-based cathode active materials (CAM) battery metals producer 6K Energy. The agreement establishes a commercial framework for the future supply of battery-grade nickel metal and lithium carbonate produced using the AquaRefining process. AquaRefining operates without hydrogen peroxide or sodium… Read more »
Japan’s EXEDY has approved the acquisition of Protean Electric, a UK-based developer of in-wheel motors, in a move it says is aimed at strengthening its electrification technology portfolio as the auto industry shifts toward “CASE” (connected, autonomous, shared & services, electric). Protean’s in-wheel motors—drive units integrated into the wheels—are positioned as a way to improve… Read more »
Electric utility Potomac Edison, a subsidiary of FirstEnergy that serves some 285,000 customers in Maryland, has received approval from the Maryland Public Service Commission to launch a pilot program aimed at helping local school systems transition to zero-emission school buses, EVinfo reports. Maryland’s Climate Solutions Now Act of 2022 requires public school systems to purchase… Read more »
The push for cleaner energy supply is a driving force for developing new hydrogen technology and adapting existing infrastructure to support it. Since direct measurement is often impractical or even impossible when it comes to hydrogen and fuel cell R&D, modeling and simulation is a useful solution. Join this webinar at our March Virtual Conference… Read more »
South Korea’s POSCO Future M has invested in battery developer Factorial, following a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed by the two companies in November 2025 for the development of all-solid-state battery technology. POSCO Future M is preparing for the growth of the all-solid-state battery market and will supply Factorial with a stable source of high-quality… Read more »
E-mobility companies in Africa are beginning to assemble electric vans and taxis locally, using Chinese-made kits, the Associated Press reports. Kenya and Nigeria, two of Africa’s largest economies, are leading the push for local EV assembly. Lagos-based SAGLEV has begun assembling 18-seater electric passenger vans using imported kits supplied by Chinese automaker Dongfeng. The company… Read more »
Evolito says it is collaborating with Airbus, backed by the UK’s Aerospace Technology Institute and Innovate UK, to develop an on-aircraft electric wheel taxi system that lets aircraft taxi with the main engines switched off. The company says the goal is to cut operating costs, noise and emissions, with Project SONATA targeting a 47% reduction… Read more »
Join this webinar at our March Virtual Conference on EV Engineering, where comemso electronics GmbH will present a structured approach to quickly isolate interoperability errors in the charging process without time-consuming on-site appointments or unreadable hex dumps. The focus is on practical methods that can be used to clearly isolate causes and reproduce them. Key takeaways:… Read more »
