Doosan Bobcat T7X

Doosan Bobcat is using electrification to not only reduce emissions in construction but also radically change the operation of compact track loaders, reports Will Gray Construction is not the first industry you think of when it comes to sustainability or electrification. Heavy, power-hungry machines do not immediately suggest the ideal platform for battery-powered performance, yet Bobcat has discovered the opposite, with its new T7X compact track loader outperforming its diesel-powered equivalent in almost every area.

Halevai electric boat

Halevai is on a mission to redefine the recreational marine market, combining an electric powertrain with a trimaran hull, reports Will Gray. It might look like a relatively ordinary recreational day cruiser, but in an industry that is traditionally as slow moving as a heavily loaded tanker, the design of Halevai’s model2050 – which pairs an innovative but highly standard electric powertrain with an ultra-efficient trimaran hull – places it firmly in the ‘ground breaker’ category.

Motor cooling

E-motor cooling technology is evolving rapidly, as Peter Donaldson finds out Discussions on thermal management in electric vehicles (EVs) usually focus on the battery because of the risk and potential consequences of thermal runaway. However, keeping motors comfortable in terms of temperature is also crucial to the performance, reliability, efficiency and longevity of an EV’s powertrain
