But Ford had to rethink truck design a bitand for good reason. Ford was one of the first traditional automakers to take electric vehicles seriously, especially after it looked with envy at Tesla's success. The Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning both enjoyed critical acclaim and strong sales in their segments, especially at first. There were only two problems: one, the sales of both were far below Ford's own projections (and what the auto industry as a whole predicted for EVs.)

Tesla has refreshed the Semi truck's design to match the look of the revised Model Y, the Cybertruck and the Cybercab. It gets a full-width light bar, a new bumper and aero tweaks to bring its design up to date. Tesla says the truck is now more efficient, it can tow more and is "designed for autonomy." The Tesla Semi has to be the only vehicle that we know of that received a mid-lifecycle facelift without technically being in productiononly

Drawing influences from the 1968 race car prototype named the Mantis XP, the concept car is built as a futuristic track vehicle, not made for roads but for testing ideas about shape and movement, with its expressive and pointed forms. The designer, always looking at the Mantis XP's structure, has revamped its proportions to modernize the vintage experimental racing car and fit the new systems and rules of modern track racing.

MAAP designed and engineered the PRO Aero Jersey around three core principles: (1) uncompromised speed, (2) thermoregulation, and (3) comfort. Using innovative fabric technologies, feedback from pro riders at the highest level, and MAAP's design expertise, the brand released its highest-performing jersey yet. Now, MAAP has taken the same jersey the pros wear and made it available to all. MAAP's AARTERO Flyte Fabric MAAP believes that at the heart of their new PRO Aero Jersey is its new proprietary AARTERO Flyte fabric.

Wilier Triestina has always treated speed as something poetic - not just a measurement, but a feeling. With the new Filante SLR ID2, that idea gets a complete redesign. Developed alongside the Groupama-FDJ WorldTour Team, Wilier's latest flagship aero bike isn't just another incremental update. The Filante SLR ID2 sets a New Standard for Speed for Wilier. A complete rethink of what "aero efficiency" means when the rider is part of the equation.

Mirrors are the past - cameras are the future. With ProViu® Mirror, AUMOVIO replaces traditional wing mirrors on commercial vehicles and sets new standards in safety, visibility and efficiency. High-resolution cameras and displays deliver a clear surround view without bulky housings. Conventional mirrors create blind spots, impair visibility in rain, snow, or low-setting sun, and cause air resistance. ProViu® Mirror removes these drawbacks.

One of the concepts that Toyota plans to unveil at the Japan Mobility Show this year is a futuristic (and likely fully electric) interpretation of a Corolla sedan. The car seems to advance the design language that we've already seen on Toyota's production models, but it's more angular and futuristic. It's definitely a Corolla because it says so on the back. Had it not had Corolla' lettering on its trunklid, you wouldn't know what it's meant to be because it looks nothing like today's model.

The Porsche 911 has long been the standard-bearer for driver-focused performance cars, and the Carrera T represents one of its most purist iterations. Now, German tuning house TECHART is elevating this already engaging sports coupe with the unveiling of the Tsport R, a comprehensive upgrade package that blends performance enhancements, striking design cues, and tailored craftsmanship. The Tsport R has been engineered to push the Carrera T beyond factory specifications while preserving the DNA that makes the 911 a legend.

The fork in question is a RockShox SID Ultimate SL, but with the addition of "side fins" designed to reduce air resistance on those high-speed sections.

Aeroscale has combined sophisticated gear and proprietary software to measure rolling resistance and aerodynamic drag with high precision, achieving accuracy of 0.5 watts on a velodrome.

Swiss Side presents wind tunnel test results showing that their 68mm Hadron Ultimate performs better than several 50-60mm wheels; they contest UCI's rationale on rim depth stability.

The latest set of wheels from Cadex didn't set out chasing a reduction in weight but rather aimed to balance weight, aerodynamics, stiffness, and comfort. Their design includes a depth of 36mm, hookless bead, and carbon fibre spokes, resulting in some of the lightest wheels available.

The Bülk Distance velomobile combines human power with aerodynamic engineering, offering cyclists a versatile, weather-adaptable vehicle optimized for performance and urban mobility.

Hunt's focus on aerodynamics and Qvist's engineering knowledge results in an incredibly strong gravel wheel set, gliding responsively through varied terrains.

Incredibly, perhaps in both senses of the word, the brand claims it is both 37 watts faster than its predecessor and 34 watts faster than its nearest (unnamed) competitor.

Specialized has hit the lightweight/aero sweetspot with the Tarmac SL8, which improves the front end aerodynamics while adding comfort from a slimmed-down seat tube area.
