Cargo

As clean air zones are imposed in more cities, clean alternatives to combustion-engine delivery vans are needed to keep packages flowing. A startup is working on a compact e-hauler that's claimed to have a "cubic load capacity rivaling mid-size vans."

The new Ushi Chuck isn't as natural a chuckwagon as Ushi's original tagalong, but it is a tiny, light support trailer that customizes into an ultimate adventure partner. It carries nearly 2x its own dry weight and has a MOLLE rack for upgrades.

Following successful trials last year at a UK wind farm, Denmark's Ørsted has now put heavy lift drones to work at a 94-turbine offshore wind farm in the North Sea – completing resupply missions up to 15 times faster while also reducing costs.

We've covered so many small trailers over the years, it's rare to find a design so out of the blue it's surprising. But the Bbox Bulli Edition is indeed that design, a different style of camping trailer with an entirely different purpose.

Sometimes a cyclist needs a big, old basket. Sometimes a big, old basket is the last thing they need. The new Allpacka One ensures they're happy in both cases, riding as a flat rack on regular commutes and fast-folding into a 30-L basket on demand.

The Japanese government is planning to connect major cities with automated zero-emissions logistics links that can quietly and efficiently shift millions of tons of cargo, while getting tens of thousands of trucks off the road.

The Scottish company behind a novel heavy-lift utility UAV that uses an internal combustion engine and hydraulic motors has now frozen design plans and is preparing for production following successful flight tests in Denmark.

That's without any modification to the ships themselves, too. The ambitious 'Blue Visby Solution' proposes enormous fuel and emissions savings for cargo ships worldwide, simply by being smarter about speed and timing and eliminating inefficiencies.

Setting out with the goal of turning a humble cargo trailer into a luxurious camper, Tetravan has created a clean, modern caravan loaded with smart, multipurpose equipment that includes a kitchen that doubles as an office and a stow-away shower.

A West Texas company says it's found a remarkably simple way to slash air cargo costs as much as 65% – by having planes tow autonomous, cargo-carrying gliders behind them, big enough to double, or potentially triple their payload capacity.

A remarkable pilot project installed on a 240-m (787-ft) container ship has proven it's possible to capture at least 78% of emissions from the smokestacks of cargo ships and convert the CO2 into limestone pebbles, which can be offloaded and sold.

Armed with a 300-horsepower, supercharged engine from Kawasaki's fearsome H2R hyperbike, the K-Racer X1 unmanned helicopter is an absolute beast of a cargo drone, the size of a small car. Watch it lifting a national-record weight in this new video.
