There’s something about the simplicity of a retro roadster. Of course, the design is timeless; it’s been inspired by legendary bikes of old, so it has to be. Yet there’s more to roadsters than just the design. Such bikes lack any frills that distract you from the riding experience.

Chinese equipment brand LiuGong is putting its 25-ton 870HE electric wheel loader to work at a STRABAG quarry in Slovenia, proving that electric vehicles can get the job done without the sky-high fuel costs associated with fossil fuels. Fuel consumption at STRABAG’s Slovenian quarry operations is both the largest contributor to the company’s carbon footprint and one of its most significant operating costs. Given the company’s dual goals of achieving carbon neutrality target by 2040 and staying profitable long enough to make it to 2040, a move to 100% electrified equipment is seriously being considered. To that end, STRABAG is…

Sedans in the modern market have taken on a different role than models from a decade ago. What were once seen in every driveway and were go-to family haulers have become more niche and a second choice for many; the everyday vehicle is now the SUV. The market has also changed very quickly toward efficiency, and with the changing of the guard, we are now seeing very few sedans with a V8. That means one of the best engine configurations is now nearly completely missing from the modern market, and while some would argue about the power and efficiency we…

When you buy a brand-new luxury car, the flex isn’t just that you can afford a Maserati Ghibli, it’s that you can afford to eat the depreciation.
