The University at Buffalo is celebrating the deployment of eight new 40-foot electric transit buses, which are now quietly transporting students, staff, and campus visitors per day. The buses are the first in UB’s Stampede fleet to ditch diesel, kicking off a four-year effort to electrify the university’s campus transportation system.

At the turn of the century, Pontiac launched its Aztek with great ambitions, but people ridiculed its styling from the moment it appeared and the company pulled it after just five years. Typically, a failed experiment like that would disappear from memory, its price decreasing year by year until it simply faded away. But then came the hit TV series Breaking Bad and lead character Walter White who transformed the crossover into something cool.

In November 2024, Honda wheeled a bare development chassis onto the EICMA stage in Milan. This looked like a regular motorcycle trellis chassis, while the details pointed to a compact 75-degree V3 configuration. Sitting exposed in the chassis, however, was also a small electric compressor mounted over the front cylinders. In modern times, the Kawasaki Ninja H2 showed us the implementation of a traditional centrifugal supercharger, but Honda’s unit is different. Being electrically powered, it spins up independently of the engine, delivering boost without borrowing power from the engine directly like a supercharger and eliminating the usual lag associated with…

Quite often here at CarBuzz, we’ve encouraged our readers to jump in at the deep end, take that leap of faith and make that car purchase they’ve always wanted. But when have we ever steered you wrong? Besides, we wouldn’t be so cruel as to encourage you to buy a money pit without warning you first, right? There is a good reason why the Jaguar XF can be purchased for Honda Civic money after many years of steep depreciation. Unfortunately, the same catchphrase we used to twist arms into buying one is also the one we use to justify its…

There’s an impossible amount of good-looking girls in Sudbury, Ontario, and an equally impressive wealth of high-grade nickel and copper ore living “just” 8,500 feet below the town’s surface, too – and Glencore Canada is sending a bunch of big EVs down to get it. Last week, Glencore recently welcomed Ontario Premier Doug Ford, alongside other political, Indigenous, industry and community leaders, to its Craig Mine in Northern Ontario to mark a key shaft development milestones at the Onaping Depth project at the Craig mine in Subdury, allowing the company to access a new nickel and copper orebody for the very…
