de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver seaplane was converted to electric propulsion

-

Cooperation partners MagniX and Harbor Air have announced the successful first flight of a de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver seaplane converted to electric propulsion. The declared goal of the duo is to successively electrify all 42 sea airplanes from Harbor Air.

The US company MagniX, which specializes in aircraft electric propulsion, and North America's largest sea airline, based in Richmond, Canada, have been cooperating since March of this year. 

For the first flight, a six-seater de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver with the 560 kW electric motor magni500 took off. MagniX presented this engine for the first time at this year's Paris Air Show. With Harbor Air boss Greg McDougall in the cockpit, the converted aircraft from Harbor Air's seaplane terminal in Richmond made a lap over the Fraser River.

  Harley-Davidson plans to set up its own division for electric motorcycles. This emerges from the motorcycle manufacturer's now published five-year “Hardwire” plan. Previously there had been rumours in the USA that Harley could stop the electric project as part of its austerity program. The focus of the new department will be on technology development as well as product and market launch activities, according to Harley-Davidson. The Livewire, which has been available since 2019, is likely to be followed by a number of other electric models from Harley-Davidson. "The creation of a separate department enables complete autonomy in the development of electric motorcycles , which allows the business unit to behave freely and agile while drawing on the support, expertise and supervision of the broader organization," says CEO Jochen Zeitz. In the run-up, rumours circulated in the US media that Harley-Davidson had allegedly ended its electric plans . On the website of the US ma...

The new Toyota Yaris Cross compact crossover SUV

-
Image
 Among the most expanding sectors of the market, the B-class SUV is certainly one of the hardest fought. Consumers are asking for compact crossovers capable of combining the dimensions suitable for city driving with an off-road style, and the manufacturers are happy to satisfy them. Based on the same platform used for the latest generation of the Yaris, the new Toyota Yaris Cross proves to be a decidedly city-appropriate crossover. The merit is the particularly small size of the car body. The length measures 4 meters and 18 cm, while the width and height respectively reach 177 cm and 168 cm. The 256 cm wheelbase is identical to that of the Yaris. Despite the close relationship with the Yaris, the style centre of the Japanese company has created a specific look for the Toyota Yaris Cross . The lines used for the car body are particularly squared starting from the front where a very high nose stands out adorned with thin and sharp headlights that integrate well with the various ribs...

The new Jeep Grand Wagoneer luxury SUVs is here

-
Image
 Jeep presented the new Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer , two models with which Jeep enters the range of full-size luxury SUV s . I liked them, I'm not saying no. In fact, I like and really admire everything Jeep does. The brand has a cool history and I really like their branding. Jeep makes desired and even cool cars, as happens with Wrangler or Gladiator, and after 3 years and something with Compass I can say that it also makes very solid cars. I would not hesitate to buy a Jeep in the future, provided they take out a hybrid SUV with reasonable autonomy. Although the name Grand might suggest an elongated version, it's just a bigger engine and more luxurious equipment. Both the Wagoneer and the Grand Wagoneer have a wheelbase of 3.12 meters and can accommodate seven or eight passengers . The exterior design is typically American, opulent, with a massive grille, LED lighting and voluminous back. The interior continues the same note, with strong luxurious accents, Nappa leather in ...
