Prototype

Almost 2 years ago, BMW challenged students at Clemson University to build a vehicle that produced more energy than it needed. The Deep Orange 17 – or 'luminetta' – is the result of their labors, a boxy prototype EV jam-packed with solar cells.

A pioneering student-built solar-powered mobile clinic called the Stella Juva is heading to Kenya for real-world trials, aiming to deliver hospital-grade healthcare to remote communities without roads, fuel or electricity.

Scientists at LG have developed a floating augmented-reality windshield display that projects navigation, alerts and media at different virtual depths so information appears to float ahead of the driver.

A German electric drone recently hit 699 km/h, an unofficial speed world record. Its maker, Quantum Systems, says the engineering will feed its own interceptor program, built alongside Ukraine's WIY Drones, aimed at stopping Russian attacks.

Alpine offered a first look at its new high-performance electric sports car at the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed last weekend – all thanks to a pioneering new process for developing a new car platform.

An electric aircraft that takes off like a helicopter and cruises like a regular plane just completed its first piloted flight with a new full-scale prototype. Vertical Aerospace is accelerating toward commercial certification, targeted for 2028.

ORGA has built a carbon-negative neighborhood in Marknesse, the Netherlands, using biobased materials, prefabricated timber, and breathable, foil-free construction that shows sustainable, affordable housing can scale.

Safety is a double-edged sword on motorcycles. Between the thrill of being on a bike and ensuring you’re safe out on the road, it’s a subtle balancing act. This unique three-wheeled electric leaning motorcycle tries to redefine motorcycle safety.

When you think of trailer companies, Honda probably isn't the first name that comes to mind. Nonetheless, the automaker has just revealed its prototype Base Station travel trailer, which can be towed by a compact SUV as small as a Honda CR-V.

ARIA – 'Anyone Repairs It Anywhere' – is more than a clever acronym. This prototype EV created by students at TU/ecomotive aims to convince the car industry and policymakers that sustainable, repairable vehicle design is commercially achievable.

Who would have guessed the world's first self-charging solar motorcycle would come from an architecture firm? The bike can produce power on its own without the need for fuel, or big, heavy batteries, dense charging networks, or electrical grids.

The CFMoto V4 SR-RR comes with a 997cc, 90-degree V4, which produces over 210 horsepower. That will have it competing against the likes of Yamaha R1M, Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade, and the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR. But when will it finally arrive?
