"Our vision is to bring together the latest technology with fun, thoughtful design to create small EVs that inspire people to adopt these more efficient modes," says Chris Yu, President of ALSO. "This launch has been years in the making and it is just the beginning of a broader platform we are building that we believe will catalyze adoption globally."
Faced with the combined forces of population growth, economic prosperity, and urban expansion, cities are witnessing a significant rise in the movement of people and goods-mirroring the evolution of diverse mobility systems within urban environments. As technologies advance and modes of transport evolve, the adaptive reuse of train carriages, airplane cabins, and other service infrastructures reveals opportunities to explore their creative potential. Materials, technologies, and design tools converge around a shared goal: refurbishing and repurposing disused structures to give them new life.
What if there were a technology that could help to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, air pollution and environmental degradation, while improving health, reducing social inequality and boosting economic growth? There is, and this month it turns 200. The opening of the Stockton and Darlington Railway in northeast England on 27 September 1825 is generally considered to be the birth of the modern railway - an event that set in motion a revolution in human mobility and social organization.
The scheme was developed by a team that includes AFL Architects, Mott Macdonald engineering services, Fabrik landscape design, and Ridge and Partners built environment consultants. Designed for a capacity of 16,000 spectators, the master plan also proposes a 1,000-person events space, a 180-bed hotel, a restaurant, a health and wellbeing centre, and a new public plaza with gardens. The stadium will occupy a five-hectare (12-acre) site in the Triangle area, located 6 km north of Oxford, adjacent to Oxford Parkway railway station and Kidlington Roundabout.
The Betterpoints app has cost Southwark council £171,000 with only 1,300 active users, raising concerns over its effectiveness and value for money.
"The Netherlands was quite early in investing in a good charging network for electric cars. We've done this as one of the best in the world; we've truly become a leader in this area. We want to do exactly the same with flying."
The Sustainable Bus Awards 2026 will be awarded at the Busworld Gala Night on October 3rd, recognizing vehicles in Urban, Intercity, and Coach categories.
"By participating in this project, WestVerkehr is emphasising its commitment to environmentally friendly, future-oriented mobility. Together with the partners in the H2HS consortium, we are actively driving forward the transformation of local public transport - innovative, emission-free and close to people."
