United Airlines announced an investment in Electric Power Systems, a company producing battery technology that can potentially be used for a broad suite of aerospace applications. Rather than producing battery cells, the company’s compatible module technology can be adapted to support a variety of batteries, optimizing performance and safety. The versatility of the technology could allow United to consider EPS’s modules for a number of near-term applications and as part of its longer-term operations that support decarbonization. This is United’s second investment in electric battery technology, after sodium-ion battery-maker Natron Energy. https://lnkd.in/gizKebU3

Edison Motors Ltd began their electrified truck project in 2021 with the mission of building a hybrid electric logging truck which would honour their core values such as right to repair and ease of service, but also be powerful and robust enough to handle rugged off-highway markets.   After partnering with Durham RTDS partner, Flodraulic, their concept has become reality.   “We came to [Flodraulic] with a dream, just an idea, and for them to take it and be able to turn it into reality, and to do it with such professionalism and expertise, you know, this is why you work with Flodraulic. Not only are they able to help us with all of our future projects, but they can help so many other clientele explore electrification.” —Eric Little, Founder & CTO, Edison Motors   #cleantech #electrification #OVIN #canadian #innovation #smartmobility #transportation #technology #electricvehicles #zerocarbon #electricsolutions

Today we will talk about General Electric, whose stock has been one of the growth leaders over the past 3 months. During this period, General Electric stock has risen by +49.2%. At the same time, the industrial sector, to which the company belongs, grew by +10.1%, and the S&P 500 index by +7.2%. As you can see, General Electric shares show better returns than the sector average. General Electric is a global leader in the development and production of aircraft engines. The company services about 70k engines for private and government customers in 160 countries, such as Airbus and Boeing. The company has 59 plants in the US and 102 in other countries. The company operates in the industrial conglomerates industry. It was founded in 1892. In 1896, it was listed on the NYSE, and in 1957 it was included in the S&P 500 index. For the past 6 years, the company has been led by Lawrence Culp and a team of experienced managers. The main competitors of General Electric are Honeywell International, TransDigm Group and Roper Technologies. As we can see from the table above, it is ahead of its competitors in terms of capitalization, as the company has a number of competitive advantages. General Electric's strengths are based on its market positioning. About 50% of all Boeing 777 aircraft engines are manufactured and serviced by the company. The company also supplies engines to Boeing's competitor Airbus, namely for the new A320neo model and other aircraft. One of the most promising segments is defense contracts, which has grown by +14.6% over the past 5 years. And in October 2023, the first 2 T901 engines for a new generation fighter prototype were accepted by the US Department of Defense. General Electric published its latest report on January 23. 74% of the revenue structure is made up of manufacturing costs and 26% of gross revenue. Over the past quarter, the company made a profit of $1.5B. Its market capitalization is now $172B. * This is not an investment recommendation. It is up to each individual to decide which criteria to favor when making an investment decision, taking into account their goals and individual risk tolerance. https://lnkd.in/dRdZHG_a

It's so exciting to know a new golden age for trains is starting and it becomes more evident when even the USA can celebrate the return of great passenger rail connections! 🥳🇺🇲🚆 I'm happy that in Europe 🇪🇺 we're seeing the return of the night train, the long distance international connections (Trans Europe Express when?) and constant new high speed lines. 🚄 See for example Back-on-Track.eu for night trains in Europe. In Asia exciting things are happening as well. With India constructing their very own Vande Bhahrat 🇮🇳 rolling stock and experiencing less and less collisions during operations. The rapid growth of the Chinese 🇨🇳 high speed network and the continuous succes of the Shinkansen 🇯🇵🚅 network are unparralelled. An unexpected player is Africa, where rail projects are going to be key to match the transport needs of the exploding population. For example construction just started in Nairobi. 🇰🇪 The future of railways is looking bright and I'm calling all organisations but especially the European Commission to keep investing in railways! 🛤️🇪🇺🌍🌎🌏

Different approach to electric vehicles > Edison motors in their own words: “Edison Motors aims to produce Electric & Hybrid Vocational Trucks & EV Conversion Kits that deliver fuel savings without compromise.” > Not “the solution” but an absolute positive solution, minors the impact taking advantage of the existing cars/trucks. > I doubt we will see this here in Spain, regulators dislike cheap solutions without their cut of the cake ( an expensive industrial project, homologation, tests multiple times ). Not saying they are right or wrong just stating the facts. Finally one thought: if we want (not saying have to) to transform our world in the next decades the approach has to be multiple and the regulatory frame has to be fast and flexible. #cocheelectrico #ctrico #electriccar #cocheel #movilidadsostenible #coches #vehiculoelectrico #a #ev #movilidadelectrica #electrico #vehiculoselectricos #n #emobility #motoselectricas #smartmobility #veh #vueltasegura #mundosostenible #urbanroad #enjoytheroad #scooterelectric #scooter #urbanmotorelectric #circulaseguro #urbanelectric #tesla #puntoderecarga #coche #cocheselectricos https://lnkd.in/dVwzHmp6

Railway systems include a wide range of equipment, parts and signal communication systems for high-speed trains, subway trains, diesel cars, locomotives, passenger cars, and light rails. 🔗 𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝑴𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑰𝒏𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 @ https://lnkd.in/gTvUvxV5    Companies operating in the market are introducing and integrating advanced technologies to rolling stock systems, power supply systems and information systems. Railway systems also include propulsion systems, auxiliary power supply systems, and air-conditioning systems among others. Adoption of advanced #railway systems results in benefits such as reduced maintenance costs, greater safety, superior operational flexibility, improved reliability, and more predictable operation. Factors such as an increase in allocation of budget for development of railways, rise in demand for secure, safer, and efficient transport system, rise in use of public transport services as a solution to minimize traffic congestion, growth in demand for safety and compliance in rail transit, and increase in demand for passenger and freight capacity drive the growth of the railway system market. However, high capital requirement, lack of technology infrastructure and consistency in developing countries, and high overhaul and maintenance costs hinder the growth of the market. Further, improvement in railway infrastructure in developing countries, technological advancements in autonomous rail and green transport, and integration of automation and advanced technologies in railway system offers remarkable growth opportunities for the players operating in the railway system market. The global railway system market size was valued at $27.2 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $42.4 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2022 to 2031.
