Electriq Fuel is expected to be suitable for mobility applications for trucks, barges and mobile generators.

Electriq says it is is comprised of 60% water and achieves a greater range and lower cost than green energy solutions like lithium-ion batteries or compressed hydrogen.

The energy density potential of the technology is up to 15 times that of electric batteries currently in use in electric vehicles, the company adds.

Electriq is holding ‘commercialisation negotiations’ with Dutch companies and plans to launch demonstrations and prototyping projects in 2020.

    Researchers at the Volvo Group are looking into a future where trucks and buses are continuously supplied with electric power without carrying large batteries. Instead, power lines are built into the surface of the road. This could be a future solution for long-distance trucks and buses running on electricity. “In city traffic, there are currently various solutions and we are researching many others. We have field tests in progress where our plug-in buses are equipped with a battery that can be charged quic

Following a series of hands-free driving tests in tunnels, an Australian road authority believes that car manufacturers have to up their game before vehicles have the required levels of competence to consistently perform ‘assisted driving’ tasks. The trials, in the state of Victoria late last year, tested the ability of several vehicles to stay
