Intelligent Energy (IE), a pioneer in fuel cell technology, has unveiled a groundbreaking hydrogen fuel cell system designed specifically for passenger cars. This innovative solution outperforms all existing systems in terms of both size and power output, paving the way for a zero-emission future in the automotive industry.
The advent of electric vehicles (EVs) has brought with it a new trend: the inclusion of fake engine noises. These noises are designed to simulate the sound of a traditional gasoline engine and are typically played through the car’s speakers. While some EV manufacturers have embraced this practice, others have chosen to let the silence of their vehicles stand out. There are two main categories of fake engine noise in EVs: those that aim to emulate real engines and those that create a more futuristic experience. While some argue that these noises enhance the driving experience and simulate the feeling of driving a gas-powered car, others view them as unnecessary and a sign of a lack of innovation in the EV industry.
Mercedes-Benz unveils the 2025 G 580 with EQ Technology, an electric upgrade to its iconic off-roader. Featuring a 116 kWh battery pack, four motors for true torque vectoring, and electronic differential locks, the G-Wagon boasts impressive off-road capabilities. With a proprietary carbon fiber composite cover protecting the battery pack and motors, it’s designed for rugged adventures. Sticking with its ladder frame construction, the G-Wagon retains its boxy design while incorporating upgrades such as dual-joint driveshafts for consistent wheel camber and a redesigned solid rear axle. The electric version offers enhanced water fording capabilities and can spin in a circle, providing greater maneuverability. Despite its luxurious nature, the G-Wagon remains a capable off-roader, offering various driving modes and a powerful powertrain with 579 hp and 859 lb-ft of torque.
