Twenty-three years after a television crew tried and failed to kill a Toyota Hilux, the company took the same idea to an old airfield in Suffolk and aimed it at the battery version. Bentwaters, a former military strip, stood in for the studio lot. A crane did the lifting, and Reddit did the choosing. Toyota […]
BMW used September 29 to put its eighth-generation 3 Series in public view, gas and electric versions arriving on the same day with nearly the same face. This is the G50, the first 3 Series shaped by the Neue Klasse look, and the first time the name i3 has been hung on a fully electric […]
Hyundai rolled the Staria Camper Concept onto the CMT floor in Stuttgart in mid January 2026, only days after the Staria Electric made its Brussels debut. Visitors walked around a finished looking van with a body colored pop up roof, a galley, a shower, and a solar panel built into the lid. Officials called it […]
Sixty two years after Amédée Gordini fitted a hotter 1.1 liter four cylinder and twin Weber carbs to a modest rear engine Renault sedan, the same badge sits on a low, wide two seat coupe that never has to share its garage with a production schedule. Renault showed the one off on September 24 at […]
London hosted Bentley’s first fully electric production car yesterday. Torcal joins Continental GT, Flying Spur and Bentayga as a fourth model line, a five meter SUV built, engineered and finished in Crewe for 2028 model year sales that begin next year. Long wheelbase, short overhangs and a proud front give it upright presence without the […]
Saudi Arabia’s first domestic car brand showed its opening pair of production vehicles this weeks, at the new CEER Manufacturing Complex in King Abdullah Economic City. CEER is a joint venture between the Public Investment Fund and Foxconn, and the EXOBOT collection starts with a long, low sedan and a slightly shorter SUV that share […]
Two weeks, eight-ish cities, and one pre-production Slate pickup rolling from Indiana toward California with no script and no spare day to get ready. Slate Auto framed the You Asked For It Tour as a working road trip rather than a victory lap. Followers sent tasks by comment and direct message. The crew took the […]
BYD parked a new 4×2 semi-truck at IAA Transportation in Hannover last week and named it the ETT 44. Fleet buyers across Europe now have a long-haul electric option rated for 44-metric-ton combinations, or about 97,000 pounds gross. First customer trucks are scheduled for the second quarter of 2027. Two Blade lithium-iron-phosphate battery packs are […]
Kia rolled out the PV7 this week at IAA Transportation 2026 in Hannover as the second all-electric model in its Platform Beyond Vehicle family, a step up from the smaller PV5 that went on sale last year. This one targets the midsize light-commercial segment that fleets actually live in, with a blunt one-box shape, short […]
Soldiers still burn hours and calories moving water, ammunition, and radios across ground that wrecks ordinary trucks. Pack animals once filled that gap. Conventional electric robots often stall in the same mud, sand, snow, and rubble because their motors sit in the middle of the chassis and feed torque through gearboxes and shafts that lose […]
