The Solaris Urbino 10,5 electric has been developed for routes where a conventional 12-metre bus is not considered the optimal configuration. The vehicle measures 10.5 metres in length and has been conceived for operation in dense urban environments, feeder services and historic city centres requiring increased manoeuvrability.

Oliver currently has two trailer models in its lineup. The Legacy Elite, built on an 18.5-foot (5.6-m) single-axle trailer, and the dual-axle Legacy Elite II, which measures 23 feet (7 meters). To extend its portfolio for 2027, the company has revealed the new Apex X23. Built to put the pace of trips back into your hands, the X23 comes fully packed with a lounge, sleeping area, kitchen, and bathroom, well within the confines of a 23-foot, all-season fiberglass body.

Boasting a 160-kilowatt (215-horsepower) output, the all-in-one drive unit integrates the electric motor, inverter, and reduction gear into a single housing. The new unit is the second integrated powertrain developed in-house by Hyundai Mobis, after a high-performance 250-kW version, and will be followed by a more cost-conscious, 120 kW version tailored for compact cars within the first half of this year.

Nio’s customers managed to swap more than 1 million batteries in just a week. Its highest day of swaps during this last sprint was 170,585 batteries—and that wasn't even its all-time record. EVs might be getting uber-fast at charging, but there's still one refueling method in China that makes plugging in feel as archaic as feeding your horse some oats. We're talking about Nio's battery swapping tech. Pull in, wait about three minutes, and leave with a fully-charged pack.

The conflict in the Middle East itself might be teetering on a tentative ceasefire, but higher gasoline prices are likely here to stay. The average price for a gallon of regular gasoline on Friday was $4.54, according to AAA, up from around $3 before the war, and the most expensive gas has been since the Ukraine War's early days in mid-2022.

The $300 million freeway capping project includes a playground, splash pad, band shell, large lawn, and linear walkway that resurrects an erased section of a historic street. Joining the widely celebrated freeway-capping Klyde Warren Park, which opened its first phase over a stretch of a recessed downtown freeway in 2012, Halperin Park is a community-centric model for addressing the divisions wrought by highway building.

NJ Transit has announced a 30% reduction in its special event rail fares for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup. Round-trip tickets from New York Penn Station to MetLife Stadium, which were originally priced at a staggering $150, will now cost $105. The initial price tag sparked immediate outrage from fans and advocacy groups. Which is no surprise given the standard round-trip fare for the 18-mile journey is typically $12.90.

Nuro has become a key player in the robotaxi and autonomous vehicle arena, having already received a California DMV permit for driverless deliveries with its R3 Nuro Robot vehicle.

The Modevo takes the opposite approach, designing each of its three components as a fully functional standalone bag first, then engineering the connection points to make the combined configurations work without compromising the individual pieces.

"Micromobility is already a part of how people get to work, school and around their communities, but right now, the rules are unclear and inconsistent," Healey said in a statement. "We are seeing too much reckless behavior, more crashes and close calls, and too many people, especially pedestrians and young riders, are at risk."

'Our simulations show that modest reductions in car-prioritized green time shift commuters toward walking, cycling, and public transport without costly infrastructure changes.'

The vertical spinning turbines were installed alongside the East Coast Main Line at Hitachi Rail's Craigentinny depot and are said to be the first of their kind to be installed and operated next to a UK main line railway.

"What we really need is a public groundswell," said Jim Mathews, President and CEO of the National Rail Passengers Association. "You need the public to comment in the docket and send letters to their members of Congress ... Regular people [need to know that] train services are potentially threatened because very safe train operators, who have never had a wreck, are facing the reality that their insurance is going to go up - just because the law says it has to. And the insurance market doesn't want to do it."

ENC's Jurupa Valley facility spans 227,000 square feet and operates as an ISO 9001-certified site, producing transit buses that meet federal Buy America requirements.

The fare for a single PATH train ride is now $3.25, up from $3. Reduced fare for riders ages 65 and older, as well as those with disabilities, also increased on Monday to $1.60, up a dime from $1.50.

Ford's investment in Michigan Central has transformed the once-abandoned train station into a vibrant hub for innovation, housing over 100 startups focused on mobility.
