Across hundreds of procurement records and very different transit markets, battery-electric has become the reference technology for zero-emission bus fleets.
Zero-emission bus procurement has moved beyond the stage where battery-electric and hydrogen fuel-cell buses should be treated as two parallel technologies waiting for the market to decide between them. Transit agencies have now spent years operating both, rebuilding depots, installing charging and refuelling infrastructure, training technicians and discovering which assumptions … [continued]

Two years ago, the EU imposed new tariffs on Chinese made electric cars because they were flooding the the new car market in Europe. For some reason, the European Commission decided not to place similar tariffs on plug-in hybrids made in China at the same time. The German auto industry … [continued]
Healthy social housing has to provide winter warmth, summer safety and clean indoor air, while retrofit sequencing determines how quickly residents receive those benefits.
“Fabric first” starts from a sensible building-efficiency idea. Improve insulation, stop unnecessary draughts, fix ventilation and reduce heat demand before replacing a gas or oil boiler with a heat pump. Some homes plainly need that work, and cheap measures such as loft insulation, draught repair and basic remediation can be … [continued]
