There are times when the conversation leans to fantasy and someone asks "if you had all the money in the world, what car would you buy?" I have been told so many times that I am breaking the rules of the game by saying "I'd have a Volvo FH16!" Well tough, I will not stay in a box when there are other options to explore. Volvo have been determined to set safety standards as a number 1 priority with a vision of reducing road deaths to 0. I have used Volvo Trucks videos many times in teaching apprentices as an example of vehicle safety. Part of road safety is finding a vehicle that is mechanically safe and roadworthy, and our unique inspections use out of the box thinking to identify safety issues and vehicle defects. We use the latest tech to find faults and produce detailed reports, fly drones and provide oil sampling tests by one of the best laboratories in Australia. I will not be put in a box, I will have an imaginary FH16, and we do carry out the best inspections so that you don't waste money buying a lemon. And at some point, you can buy your own imaginary Ferrari, but for real!

Energy efficiency significantly impacts the transportation industry by reducing operational costs, lowering carbon emissions, and improving sustainability. Innovations like road-based energy recovery systems and aerodynamic truck designs contribute to these benefits, creating new opportunities for businesses and professionals in the sector.

With visibility so integral to road safety, the new Volvo FH Aero range is designed to help drivers see more. #volvotrucksaero #EnergyEfficiency #aerodynamics #volvotrucks

Join us as we bring new energy efficient technologies to aviation. "Meet the Celera 500L, a bullet-shaped airplane from Otto Aviation aiming to revolutionize traveling forever by cutting fuel consumption 8 times and bringing emission-free electric aviation incredibly closer. The egg-shaped design of the aircraft helps achieve laminar flow on the plane's surface, reducing drag by 59% compared to similarly sized aircraft. As a result, the plane gets fuel economy figures between incredible 18-25 miles per gallon, which is better than a large SUV and an average pickup truck. The efficiency will be further improved once Celera is equipped with Hydrogen-electric powertrain in cooperation with Zero Avia later on." https://lnkd.in/dNxniuxn Transportföretagen Flyg

This car is flying!⁠ ⁠ Slovakian company Klein Vision developed a⁠ BMW-powered AirCar with four wheels,⁠ retractable wings, a folding tail, and a⁠ parachute deployment system.⁠ ⁠ It can fly up to 621 miles of range in the⁠ production version.⁠ ⁠ Many flying cars in the past failed, but this⁠ one is promising.⁠ ⁠ It can also climb to 8,200 ft. and has a 186⁠ mph cruising speed.⁠ ⁠ It also has a parachute in case it fails in the⁠ air.⁠ ⁠ The price of this flying car can go up to⁠ $1.1m, depending on what features you⁠ want.⁠ ⁠ They're also working on a high-performance⁠ model and a flying boat concept.⁠ ⁠ What do you think?⁠ ⁠ Would you buy one?⁠ Visit:www.mavigadget.com #FlyingCar #AirCar #KleinVision #FutureTransport #InnovativeVehicles #AviationTech #TechInnovation #FlyingVehicle #ModernMobility #AeroCar ⁠

AERO filled its 12 halls with an electric energy, notable on the light end of the market. And this makes sense, because the show’s DNA lies in ultralights, gliders, balloons, training airplanes—even remote-control models. Now it has logged 30 “flights,” so to speak, running back to 1977 when it was part of a regional motorsports exhibition, and happening every other year until it became an annual event in a few years back, with a pause for two years for COVID. But we need marketable aircraft for business aviation that help to meet net-zero targets, and aside from the very light end, we’re not there yet with electrics… read more in the latest from #JustJuliesTakes. #electricaircraft #hybridelectric #AERO24 https://lnkd.in/eh4tSSRE

Dive into our latest customer story with Flylanders (NJIT SAE Aero Design Team) as they test motors for high-performance aircraft, powered by Tyto Robotics’ Series 1585 Thrust Stand. Hear their experience firsthand: "We were planning to use last year’s motor, but the thrust stand revealed it only provided 7 lbs of thrust, not the advertised 10.5 lbs." This led them on a journey of discovery, testing various motor-propeller combinations to reach the needed specifications. Join us to learn about the transformative impact of the Series 1585 Thrust Stand on propulsion optimization efforts.
