In previous blogs we informed you regarding IMC’s (Indus Motor Company) new addition for petrol heads – non hybrid Corolla Cross. The company has launched two variants of the car, Corolla Cross 1.8 (base variant) and 1.8X (top variant) with a slight difference in features. Here we bring the details allowing you to prefer the one over the other. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dCeS45Jg #IMC #MWBlog #mywheels #autonews #CorollaCross #carsinpakistan

Extreme E, the emerging motorsport series, plans to switch to hydrogen-powered cars under the provisional title "Extreme H" by 2025. Founder and CEO Alejandro Agag aims to use the series as a technology testbed, similar to Formula E's role in advancing EV battery tech. The move could attract automakers and promote hydrogen development despite potential challenges.

🏎️ "#FormulaE is earning more than just the plaudits of its growing #audience. For manufacturers, it’s becoming a real world test lab for #EV innovation and adoption." Simon Lovick explains why Formula E plays a central role in #electric #vehicle #innovation which could prove critical to its wider EV adoption over the next decade. https://lnkd.in/e6dt3i_9

The Alpenglow Hy4 is said to mark something of a turning point. Of course there’s the usual line about motorsport influencing road cars - ‘Alpine firmly believes in the role of motorsport as an accelerator for the development of future mobility technologies’ is the soundbite this time - but also a declaration of support for hydrogen from Renault. A joint venture with Plug called HYVIA is promising hydrogen charging stations (with liquid hydrogen being explored also), fleet financing and maintenance for a hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicle will be in place, there’s going to be a hybrid using a hydrogen range extender, and there are engines in development specifically designed to be powered by hydrogen. They will be for ‘high-powered extra-urban commercial use and specific sportier purposes.’

Here's why 2026 F1 engines will be less powerful than today's: Formula 1's revised 2026 powertrain regulations will pave the way for additional automakers to enter the sport, but they'll also create less powerful engines. However, as detailed in this Engineering Explained video, the lower power is all part of the plan. The 2026 rules will continue the use of hybrid powertrains, known as "power units," based... #car #cars #awesome

Electronic turbocharging, a cutting-edge automotive technology, has revolutionized the way engines generate power and efficiency. Unlike traditional turbochargers, electronic turbocharging utilizes an electric motor to drive the turbine, eliminating the lag commonly associated with traditional turbocharged engines. This innovation ensures instant power delivery, enhancing acceleration and overall performance. By integrating electronic turbochargers, vehicles can achieve higher levels of efficiency, reduced emissions, and improved fuel economy, making it an important component in reliable transportation. Turbo manufacturers such as Garrett and BorgWarner have electric turbos underway, with applications ranging from Mercedes AMG cars to heavy-duty trucks. How can electronic turbocharging shape the future for the internal combustion engine? Garrett - Advancing Motion BorgWarner https://lnkd.in/gdtdCVaj https://lnkd.in/g8NNasPw

I just published my first article on Medium about how competition drives innovation, specifically focusing on the Le Mans race and the new hydrogen racing class. A short read to end your Friday. https://lnkd.in/gZnEJcKV #innovation #competition #emergingtechnologies

The hydrogen is the future of the clean automobile

FALKEN ZIEX ZE310 ECORUN CONVINCES IN THE ADAC SUMMER TYRE TEST The Falken ZIEX ZE310 ECORUN was recently rated very positively in an exceptionally large-scale, independent test by the General German Automobile Club (ADAC): the results of the ADAC summer tyre test once again provide confirmation of the excellent work of the engineers and developers at Falken. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of its first in-house tyre test, the ADAC not only put a huge field of 50 different products to the test on dry and wet surfaces in terms of their braking performance, it also had a detailed look at them as a whole. The 205/55 R 16 V measurement category was assessed, in which the Falken ZIEX ZE310 ECORUN was only beaten by three other candidates in the overall rating. Read more: https://bit.ly/3KZjDGw
