Belgian aviation support brand Shire is hoping to change the airport ground support equipment (GSE) game with a line of purpose-built baggage and cargo tractors engineered from the ground up as electric vehicles.

The bright yellow D6 XE dozer might look like your everyday medium-class dozer, but underneath that vibrant bodywork it’s hiding a highly efficient electric drive system that Cat says makes it the most advanced hybrid dozer on the market.

Under the hood of the new “Ten-Oh” Japanese tugboat is the key is a novel marine engine system churning out more than 4,400 hp (!) from its dual, dual-fuel hydrogen-burning V12 engines. Is this – finally! – a great use case for hydrogen?

America’s heartland is full of rural communities that are miles away from its major cities, both geographically and culturally – but that doesn’t mean these more sparsely populated regions can’t reap the benefits of electrification. In fact, EVs offer rural drivers even more benefits than they do to city-dwellers!

Elon Musk implies that he’ll quit his part-time job as CEO of Tesla (TSLA) if he doesn’t get his $1 trillion pay package. On today’s episode of Quick Charge, I suggest GM’s Mary Barra should replace him, and explore some of the compelling EV deals out there looking to take a bite out of Elon’s market share.

After logging more than 100 million all-electric miles with deployed fleet of battery-powered semi trucks, Volvo’s latest EV milestone can be found OFF the highway: the company’s new L90 Electric wheel loader has reached its first customers.

For the last few weeks, we’ve been running a sidebar survey about some of the factors that are convincing Electrek readers to add home solar power systems to their homes. After receiving over a thousand responses, here’s what you told us.

Italian logistics specialist Fratelli Foppiani Trasporti has become one of the first operators to deploy the new MAN eTGX electric trucks, taking delivery of a 4×2 semi tractor and a new, 6×2-4 rigid truck packing absolutely MASSIVE battery packs that are ready to get to work.

The EV revolution isn’t just happening on the main routes of big cities, it’s increasingly happening in the commercial vehicle space – and paratransit services offer a nearly ideal use case for battery-powered rides.

BMW is charting fresh waters — literally — with a self-inflating electric stand-up paddle board (SUP) that pairs high–performance battery power with with premium materials, digital connectivity and a whole ecosystem of accessories.

The current EV era is ripe with revered classic car designs and iconic nameplates that are being reborn as battery-powered rides – and the success of cars the Renault 5 proves it can be a winning formula. Today, I’m suggesting another 1980s classic that deserves a modern electric update: the Buick Grand National.

It looks like retail giant Target has been reading our posts about the Chevy Brightdrop being the best deal in the commercial EV business, because the company has picked GM’s electric box van to pilot a new, dedicated last-mile delivery service in Dallas-Fort Worth.

UK-based Prolectric hopes to make the thrum of diesel generators a thing of the past with the unveiling of its new three-phase ProCharge battery energy storage system (BESS). The ProCharge is a rugged, compact, skid-mounted generator that combines 12 high-wattage solar panels with a massive battery to deliver up to 45 kVA of power wherever it’s needed.

The EV-powered Cadillac renaissance continues as the all-new VISTIQ is named the winner of the prestigious 2026 German Car of the Year (GCOTY) award in the “luxury” category, bringing GM’s halo brand one step closer to reclaiming its “Standard of the World” status.

The new new Super E cultivator from Tilmor isn’t just another pice of compact farm equipment – it’s a purpose-built electric cultivator that trades loud diesel clatter for quiet confidence and precision control. Made in the USA and ready to work, it’s proof that electric farming may be closer (and more practical) than you think.

A lot of EV charging apps can tell you where the plugs are, and Chargeway tells you that, too — along with everything else. From your EV’s state of charge, to the best charging strategy to get you from point A to point B, to real-time charger availability, and more, it’s simply the best tool I’ve found to help new EV drivers understand how an EV fits into their busy lives today. And as of today, in fact, Chargeway is adding another benefit to its platform: real-time kWh pricing.

A new study from the North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE) challenges the notion that battery electric semi trucks can’t serve long-haul logistics, but they’re not presenting a slide deck made by pencil-pushers and spreadsheets. They’re proving HDEVs are ready with real-world electric semi trucks covering hundreds of miles every day.

On today’s hyped up hybrid episode of Quick Charge, we’ve got the first extended range electric Jeep in North America – the 500-mile new Grand Wagoneer PLUS news that Mazda is getting into the plug-in price war, and a whole lot more.

After the Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit (Section 45W) expired on September 30, the “experts” rushed out predictions of an EV sales slowdown in Q4. But, with over 6,800 pages in the Internal Revenue Code still in play, a turbocharged Section 179 tax credit could still power a strong Q4 for commercial EVs.

A new whitepaper by heavy truck makers PACCAR and Dragonfly Energy that incorporates real-world fleet trial data and Environmental Chamber Testing conducted at the PACCAR Technical Center seems to indicate that over-the-road truck drivers are ready to embrace battery power and reduce emissions – just not while they’re driving.

French car brand Renault believes they’ve got the key to more affordable EV batteries, and their new LFP tech promises to slash the costs of production by 40%. The result? New, desirable EVs with a sub-20K price tag that aren’t made in China.

Delta Air Lines is teaming up with Dutch aviation startup Maeve Aerospace to take its idea for a more advanced, fuel-sipping hybrid-electric aircraft powertrain from the drawing board and into regional commercial service.

Utilities, state governments, and private developers are racing to roll out faster, more powerful EV chargers. At the same time, automakers and tech giants across the globe are pouring billions into R&D to develop batteries that can take ever-higher levels of power. But what if there’s a better, easier, cheaper, and more effective way to cut emissions?

What if, instead of faster chargers, we pushed for SLOWER gas pumps?

Just weeks after writing about John Deere’s tried-and-true Gator side-by-side and extolling the virtues of its two-plus decades of design stasis, the engineers at Deere have launched a pair of new, li-ion Gator models that offer all-day power to move people and things all over your property in true, go-anywhere Gator fashion.
