It’s been over three years since I bothered to publish an article on the dead end but glitzy space of urban air mobility with their origami electric vertical take-off and landing passenger aircraft. Instead, I focused my aviation related assessments on how aviation will actually decarbonize over the next few … [continued]

I have a lot of sympathy for Winnipeg. I’ve been there for work many times. I’ve been there in their frigid, tens of degrees Celsius below zero winters. I’ve been there in their dusty summers. I’ve even tried to get across the main intersection that pedestrians still aren’t allowed to … [continued]

British Columbia in Canada has a long history with hydrogen for transportation and its constant failures. Ballard Power, the fuel cell manufacturer that pivoted away from lithium ion batteries in 1989 to the losing technology, is based in the Vancouver area. Whistler, the famed ski and mountain biking area with … [continued]

Four weeks ago, I didn’t know the Canadian Urban Transit Research and Innovation Consortium existed. If I’d seen mention of it, I probably would have assumed it as an innocuous little organization full of pleasant Canadians working diligently for the good of Canadian transit. But the onion keeps being peeled. … [continued]

Globally, there are almost 700,000 battery electric buses in operation and perhaps 6,000 hydrogen buses. In Europe in 2023, about 6,400 new battery electric buses were registered vs. about 140 hydrogen buses. As I noted recently, there have are more hydrogen bus trials that have been abandoned than operational hydrogen … [continued]

Smallholder farmers sustain humanity every day of the year. The 600 million smallholder farmers around the world, who are working on less than two hectares of land, are estimated to be responsible for 28-31% of total crop production and contribute 30-34% of food supply on 24% of gross agricultural area. … [continued]

It’s not a hybrid. It’s not a plug-in electric vehicle. An extended range electric vehicle (EREV) is effectively an all-electric vehicle, with all the motive power provided by an electric motor but with a small internal combustion engine (ICE) present to generate additional electric power. And the extended range EV … [continued]
