A new study from the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) has found that although liquid-hydrogen- (LH 2 )-combustion aircraft do not perform as well as their jet fuel counterparts, they can still play an important role in meeting aviation’s 2050 climate goals. The study explores the potential performance characteristics, fuel-related costs and emissions, and replaceable fossil fuel market of LH 2 -powered aircraft entering service in 2035.

The Ford Mustang Mach-E electric SUV will get continual incremental updates instead of the industry-standard mid-cycle refresh, CEO Jim Farley said Thursday during the automaker's quarterly earnings call. Automakers generally save improvements for mid-cycle refreshes, so named because they're timed at the midway point between redesigns. But Ford.

by Michael Sivak, Sivak Applied Research. During the pandemic, some workers were (and some still are) able to work from home. Therefore, it is not surprising that in 2020, the first year of the pandemic, the annual miles driven per car or light truck (SUV, pickup truck, or van) decreased substantially. Of more interest is the new finding that this reduction was entirely due to a reduced use of cars as opposed to light trucks.
