Five Cool Tech Demos From the ARPA-E Summit

Cars That Think

Gas Li-ion batteries thwart extreme cold South 8 Technologies demonstrates the cold tolerance of its Li-ion battery by burying it in ice at the 2024 ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit. That’s a big improvement on conventional Li-ion batteries, which start to degrade when temps reach 0 °C and shut down at about –20 °C.

Rolls-Royce MTU introduces new hybrid power pack for rail systems; up to 25% fuel savings

Green Car Congress

The Hybrid PowerPack combines a diesel engine with an electric machine, which can be used either as an electric motor or generator, and the MTU EnergyPack battery system, which stores the energy recovered during braking. With hybrid drives, braking energy is converted into electrical energy and stored in the battery.
