Hybrid

If you have a regional turboprop aircraft and wish that it was a bit more hybirdy, RTX may be able to accommodate you. The company is developing a combined thermal/electric propulsion system that not only increases efficiency but can be retrofitted into existing aircraft.

In a segment dominated by gas or electric powertrains, there’s a new contender from China. The Chery KP31: a diesel plug-in hybrid pickup. It comes at a time when the global demand for trucks continues to surge, as do tightening emissions regulations.

This custom-made Yamaha Mt-07 is an all-wheel-drive model, thanks to an additional electric motor on the front wheel. You get an axial flux design, with coils, a magnet, and two discs. The end result? Close to 221 lb-ft on the front wheel!

The new RS 5 is Audi Sports first high-performance plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, and uses a computer-controlled electric motor to shift power allocation between wheels 200 times a second – promising a new level of handling.

Despite its critics and moves toward electrification, the internal combustion engine is not yet dead. Though its design for passenger vehicles may have begun to reach its apex with Mazda’s Skyactiv designs.

A hybrid-electric jet engine may seem as absurd as a horse-drawn Zeppelin, but GE Aerospace is ground testing a new megawatt-class hybrid turbofan engine and its full powertrain that is powerful enough to run a medium-haul narrow-body airliner.

Horizon Aircraft's Cavorite X7 already sported a radical design, even within the wild world of hybrid eVTOLs. That design has now been updated, however, for enhanced aerodynamics, cruising performance, and flight safety.

After a decade of false starts across the industry, Nex Computer revisits the idea of replacing your laptop with a smartphone. By combining Android, Linux, and Windows in one device, the NexPhone may have made the vision a reality.

During over 50 years on the global market, the Toyota Hilux has sold more than 27 million units and been identified as the most indestructible passenger vehicle out there. Now, it evolves into its 9th generation, welcoming new capabilities and tech.

We’ve talked about Benda a few times, and it seems every time there’s a new bike from the Chinese brand, there’s some radical approach behind it. This time, it’s the engine that seeks all the attention – a hybrid boxer engine concept.

It may seem like a horse-drawn Zeppelin, but Astro Mechanica seems to be all-in on its revolutionary hybrid-electric supersonic jet engine as it partnered with UK-based engineering firm Helix to add high-energy density radial-flux motors to the tech.
