As space missions probe deeper and last longer, electrified propulsion systems powered by Hall-effect thrusters are proving their mettle. One company leading the way is Busek, a pioneer in Hall-Effect technology for aerospace whose thrusters will be aboard NASA Artemis missions seeking the return of humans to the moon. […]
Slovenian in-wheel propulsion developer Elaphe, a designer of innovative electromagnetic topologies for pushing the limits of power density, is working on several projects designed to bring new levels of performance to the EV market. A major project involves its joint venture with power electronics specialist McLaren Applied targeting automotive applications, other are its work to develop a 350-watt gearless hub motor for electric scooters and manufacturing its systems for solar EV company, Aptera. […]
2023 promises to be an important year for electric propulsion innovator Wright Electric. Plans call for initial flight testing of its Wright Spirit regional aircraft retrofit technology, this stage employing one electric propulsor enroute to […]
Buoyed by funding from the UK’s Advanced Propulsion Centre, Toyota is applying its latest second generation fuel cell technology to develop a hydrogen fuel celled version of its Hilux pickup truck. Called the HiluxH2, a […]
As electrification of aircraft intensifies, French aerospace firm Safran intends to be onboard in many ways. It expects to broaden its portfolio in 2023 by acquiring the €124 million aeronautical electrical systems business of Thales. […]
Created nearly 30 years ago but continually refined with new models and iterations, ABB’s Azipod propulsion systems have recently been ordered to power two entirely different types of innovative vessels. One is a technically advanced jack-up vessel for installing offshore wind farms, the other for Ritz-Carlton’s new line of luxury mega-yachts. […]
By adding hybrid propulsion to its Skylark 3 military drones, Elbit has tripled the endurance of the small tactical unmanned aerial system and extended its operation time to 18 hours. The combustion engine is used […]
Only days before the beginning of September, a rite of passage occurred on the rail tracks of Lower Saxony, Germany when the Coradia iLint reached a historical milestone as it began use on the world premiere 100% hydrogen train route in passenger operation. The fuel-cell powered regional train emits only only steam and condensed water while operating with a low level of noise. Engineered and built by Alstom, it highlights a remarkable series of steps that the company has made recently in hydrogen and fuel cell development for e-mobility — much of the activity derived from its acquisition of fuel cell manufacturer Helion Hydrogen Power in 2021. […]
With a repeat order for a comprehensive power and propulsion system on an innovative live-fish carrier in Norway, and a contract to power Japan’s first-ever electric tugboat, ABB Marine & Power continues to make waves […]
Loaded with e-propulsion test equipment and qualification labs, engineers and a sizeable army of software developers, the new Electric Software Hub at the Mercedes Technology Centre near Stuttgart brings automotive electrification and digitalization to a […]
