Urban cargo solutions and last-mile delivery are quickly undergoing rapid electrification. Since large delivery vans and trucks don’t work well in crowded cities, many operators are moving towards cargo e-bikes and scooters. But what happens when those solutions just aren’t big enough? Then you may want to check out the PNY Ponie, an electric cargo motorcycle designed for heavy hauling in tight spaces. This Israeli invention is designed for cargo duty and delivery applications. It can carry up to 120 kg of cargo and has 400 litres of storage space on board. Read on and reach out to me: https://electrek.co/2023/11/08/cargo-electric-motorcycle-pny-ponie/
StoreDot, the pioneer of extreme fast charging (XFC) battery technology for electric vehicles, developed in Israel, is collaborating with Polestar on an advanced engineering project to technically explore and demonstrate how XFC battery cell technology can be applied to an existing platform, and show what a production-level solution could look like. Following Polestar’s investment in StoreDot and as part of an ongoing strategic partnership, the two companies are now already in advanced collaboration and are working to demonstrate StoreDot’s production ready XFC technology at full scale in a Polestar 5 prototype vehicle in 2024.

Israeli Advanced Manufacturing and Chemical company "Nano
Z Coating" exploits Nano materials to produce innovative carpet like platforms
on dumper trucks' roads. After 4 to 6 months of dry season they then unfold the revolutionary material or
put another carpet layer over. The product is a biodegradable ecological solution designed and tested to suppress up to 75% less dust with an
85% water usage savings. These were the results found by Anglo American in
Brazil when applied on unpaved roads in mines driven with 300 tonne trucks with
a slope gradient of 7%. Photos

Imagine that shoppers can walk into stores, select their items off the shelves, and leave without having to queue at checkout or scan any goods. Payments and receipts are settled digitally. Israeli company Trigo transforms existing supermarkets into fully autonomous digital stores where feeds from ceiling-mounted cameras and shelf sensors are analyzed to generate a “digital twin” of the store. Computer vision algorithms, similar to the ones on driverless cars, log interactions between humans and merchandise. The result is a fundamental transformation in the way physical stores are being managed and experienced by both shoppers and operators.

There are two main arguments against hydrogen use in transportation. The first is that it is mostly generated from fossil fuels, which does not make it helpful against climate change. Second: when it is genuinely green, it is obtained through electrolysis, a process that is only 70% to 80% efficient... Scientists at Tel Aviv University plan to kill that argument with a method that is over 90% efficient in generating green hydrogen.It makes sense that an established automaker will try to keep things as they are, but that will bite them back when competitors find a better way...https://israeltrade.org.au/2023/07/31/israeli-researchers-produce-green-hydrogen-with-90-efficiency-without-electrolysis/
