Nice to see #RNZAF taking up the opportunity created with the UBCO - Electric Adventure Vehicles 2X2 for a silent perimeter patrol option, something we explored and pitched as part of #LandForces2014 - will be sure to add this to our Kinetics page for other #Defence #LawEnforcement + #Security agencies to consider, but equally relevant to many #utilitiesindustry #agribusiness + #localgovernment scenarios. Cool story.

Since watching their interview on FullyCharged.SHOW & Everything Electric, I've been captivated with this extraordinary couple's EV expedition, interacting with them and following their updates on X and catching the occasional news from other platforms. Their journey is a genuine testament to unwavering determination and authentic passion for electric vehicles. 🚗⚡️ #EVAdventures #InspiringJourney"

As always, I enjoyed spending time at Bonny Doon to talk #mobility this last week. Our panel on "Building the Ecosystem for Next Generation #Aviation" included Manal Habib, CEO of Mighty Fly, Raymond Zheng, Senior Managing Director at Honda Innovations, and was moderated by Andrew Harper, partner at Sidley Austin. We covered a lot of ground in the discussion. The most interesting back and forth came from an audience question around what infrastructure is needed for #AAM and other new aviation concepts. Transportation demand depends primarily on cost and speed and aviation has traditionally done best when it provides a superior solution on both dimensions. Most infrastructure providers express caution about investing without a clear demand signal that will keep infrastructure highly utilized. Expensive infrastructure without sufficient demand makes transportation unprofitable and unaffordable. As much as I loved the Uber Elevate vertiport designs, innovators in the space need think less about how to build expensive, new infrastructure and more about how to leverage what we already have while we are getting markets to scale. Once the demand is there, investment in the right infrastructure can take costs down and further stimulate demand. #electricaviation Many thanks to Howard Chao and Katie Grimble for putting on a great conference.

At the link below I have discussed parameters that influence the appearance of micro EVs in the North America's market. https://lnkd.in/ggKwpaRZ

#USA #Advanced #Engineering #Autonomous #Electric #Connected #Digital #Platform ... almost 4 years past as my workmates Dr. Gerrit Schmidt (President US), Peter Schiekofer (Executive Director Advanced Engineering & Autonomous Driving), Ronald Grosse (Executive Director US) explained in detail about the technical background of our collectively developed project "HARRI". With HARRI, as synonyme for our hightech demo platform, we demonstrate our long-standing clients/partners, as we'll new clients/partners, how they can benefit using the advanced engineering experiences we shown by this interdisciplinary integrated technologies?

It's fantastic to see organizations like ADAC and the Die Autobahn GmbH des Bundes spotlighting the importance of cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS). These technologies are game changers for traffic #safety, giving drivers the heads-up they need to avoid unexpected hazards.   💪 At Audi Business Innovation GmbH, we're all in on these advancements. These systems can warn drivers about dangers and help them react appropriately, making driving smoother and safer.   🤝 #Collaboration is key, and the partnership between ADAC, Autobahn GmbH, and new allies like the Bavarian Red Cross shows the power of teamwork in pushing these #innovations forward.   💡 By the way: since 1 July 2024, the EU mandates that new cars must be equipped with various advanced driver assistance systems.   🚀 I am curious to see more developments in the future to constantly exploring new ways to keep drivers and passengers safe. Bringing us another step closer to #VisionZero.   We're definitely on the right track. Kudos to everyone involved for their hard work and dedication!
