Green NCAP announces its first Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) results, examining the real environmental impact of some of Europe’s most popular cars in order to help car buyers make more informed and   sustainable choices.

To understand the true ecological impact and sustainability of a car, it must be viewed in the context of its whole life cycle.  This means that all processes and flows of resources and energy associated with the car’s production, usage, and recycling must be considered.  Life Cycle Assessment, or LCA, is the method that estimates these individual contributions to predict the car’s environmental impact over its entire lifetime ‘from cradle to grave’.

The Danish Port of Aarhus has chosen PowerCon as the turnkey supplier of the new shore power system for the Cruise Port. Shore Link is proud to be part of this package with our advantaged CMS Cruiser.

The Cable Management Systems for cruise vessels (CMS Cruiser) is a separate unit designed to supply shore power for cruise vessels when at berth.

The CMS Cruiser have major benefits such as:

The world’s most anticipated electric boat has completed its maiden flight. The foiling Candela C-8 promises to disrupt the gas-guzzling powerboat industry, thanks to a unique combination of long all-electric range, high speed, and industry-first features.

After 16 months of intense development, the most ordered electric boat ever took off from the cold waters outside the Swedish tech company’s headquarters at Lidingö, Stockholm.

After reaching its designed take-off speed of 16 knots, the Candela C-8 prototype P-01 lifted off smoothly, and flew noiselessly above the water at a cruise speed of 20 knots.

-Smooth, and very, very silent, said Gustav Hasselskog, Candela’s CEO after piloting the C-8 on its maiden flight.

Podracer is a vehicle from Star Wars film The Phantom Menace. It moves fast near the surface and have a high maneuverability. This is exactly what Jetson´s electric aircraft looks.

Jetson´s weight is 86 kg and it can carry up to 95 kg passenger. It fliews 20 minutes with 85 kg pilot weight. Top speed is 102 km/h, but it is software limited, not the actual limit of engines. 

It is all ready fligfht machine and can be purchased for 85 000 euros. Yes, far more than mid-class vehicle. But at 100 km/h, you can reach any corner of city in 20 minutes.

And it´s cool. It looks exactly like a "Star Wars" podracer.
