Chinese multinational equipment brand SANY says its new, SY375E electric excavator will redefine heavy-duty performance and job site sustainability with its impressive range of capabilities – but one item leaps off the spec sheet: the massive, swappable 550 kWh CATL battery! The 40-ton class SY375E electric excavator is one of the latest SANY machines to make its way into Western markets, and packs a 200 kW permanent magnet synchronous motor that, in concert with the machine’s hydraulic actuators, delivers 235 kN of bucket digging force. More than enough, says SANY, to match the power and productivity of its diesel-powered counterparts on…

Ducati Multistrada V4 (Granturismo engine) Launch Year: 2020 Ducati The Multistrada V4 was a completely new approach for Ducati because it moved away from the famed V-twin that was its signature engine layout. It also ditched the Desmodromic valvetrain, which is another hallmark of Ducati technology. This new Granturismo V4 engine gave almost as much or more power as the engine it replaced, with industry-leading service and valve clearance check intervals. It is an engine that is spreading across the lineup, and the valve-spring-loaded head also has variable valve timing, so there are none of the negatives carried over. Two…

In my Galaxy S26 review, I briefly mentioned that Good Lock is a pilgrimage every Samsung user should undertake. One UI is jam-packed with features, which don’t always feel coherent, but the software design seems deliberate. Samsung’s custom skin has been among my favorites due to its strong identity, and one of its best hidden tricks is Good Lock. Good Lock is one of those Samsung features that can be weirdly easy to ignore. There’s no shiny demo at the start of the setup process, sitting as a separate app that you’ll have to download. But oddly enough, it is…

The compact SUV market has exploded over the past several years, with established manufacturers facing new upstarts looking to secure a slice of the market. One of the hottest contested arenas is the electric SUV, as the growing technology offers new automakers the chance to get ahead of established brands, who are having to learn on the fly in this brave new world. Rivian is one such brand, though it has thus far focused on the higher-end electric truck and SUV market. It’s now looking to make moves on the more affordable side of the coin, with the R2 SUV.…

Not long after the first wave of minivans popularized then high-tech new V6-powered, front-drive platforms, these architectures morphed into a new wave of family sedans that followed suit.

For many years, if you were a perfectly reasonable person, you probably had a Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Chrysler Intrepid, or Ford Taurus in your driveway because sedans were the way that sensible families got around. 2000-2004 Dodge Intrepid Front Angle ViewDodge Now, the cheap family sedan is pretty much dead, and it didn’t die off suddenly or dramatically like…

We’re finally starting to learn more about LiveWire’s upcoming S4 Honcho electric motorcycles as the company begins showing off pre-production prototypes around the US ahead of launch.

The company is preparing two versions of the bike: the street-legal S4 Honcho Street and the off-road-focused S4…

A buzzy de-extinction company is making headlines again, the Smile spacecraft launched on its way to observe Earth’s magnetic shield in action, and a new study cast doubt on the existence of water vapor plumes on Europa. Plus, SpaceX’s Starship V3 lifted off for the first time. Here are this week’s most interesting science stories.
