The CIOs I most want to work with are the ones who haven't abandoned either role. They're genuinely curious about how the infrastructure works, not just what it delivers.

Sick days are costing the whole of the UK a lot of money, and that's one of the reasons we're involved in the prevention sprint, to look at ways to try and stop people from becoming ill in the first place.

The real problem is infrastructure, not vehicle safety. Roadways are open systems with infinite variables—weather, pedestrians, distracted drivers, and aging infrastructure. Communication between vehicles is minimal, and infrastructure is largely silent—and in that gap lies the potential for deadly collisions.

The new C127 EV adopts a modular battery configuration based on lithium iron phosphate (LFP) technology supplied by CATL, delivering a total installed capacity of 497 kWh, an increase from the previous 462 kWh.

"Fuel use increases significantly at higher speeds, so even a relatively small reduction can result in noticeable savings," he stated. He added that lowering motorway speeds could improve fuel efficiency by around 10%, depending on the vehicle.

Intercity bus transport in Europe is characterized by a fragmented operator landscape, including a high number of small and medium-sized companies, alongside less standardized operational patterns and frequent dual-use vehicle profiles.

The unmistakable V-formation geese adopt in flight is more than a cool aerial trick. The entire flock benefits from upward air flowing off the lead bird's wings, whose fellow fliers then get to save energy, especially on long journeys.

Charging from 10 to 98 percent took just six minutes and 27 seconds. The more standard 10-80 percent time takes just three minutes, 44 seconds. Only have a minute to plug in? Still sufficient to get from 10 to 35 percent state of charge.

It's tempting to frame autonomous driving as a single leap. In public transport, adoption tends to be incremental - because the system is built for reliability, and new capabilities have to fit into daily operations without disrupting service. That is why a practical strategy is evolution, not revolution: introduce autonomy in a defined domain, learn safely in real operations, and expand capability step-by-step.

The new technology allows drivers to see actual New York streets and experiences, which ultimately makes bus rides safer for customers. The more we can give them real tools to simulate what real life is like, the better they're going to be once they hit the road.
