Managing TCO Begins with Managing Fuel Costs
If you’re wondering how to manage and minimize operating expenses for your fleet, fuel expense is often the first place to start.
This Revolutionary Breakthrough Could Help EVS Drive 10 Times Longer Before They Need a Recharge
Currently, most modern lithium batteries use an anode made of graphite. Other materials, like silicon, have a higher energy capacity and would make more efficient batteries — but until now, researchers have been unable to create a stable battery with a silicon anode. This is because the reactions inside the battery cause the silicon to expand dangerously.
Scientists at Pohang University of Science & Technology (POSTECH) found a way to multiply the energy storage of a battery by ten to create the ideal EV battery. They created a binding material that will keep a high-capacity silicon anode from expanding, creating a stable lithium battery with at least ten times the capacity of one that uses a traditional graphite anode.
Dear Diary, Is Cam Doing Okay with All Those Vans?
For Cameron Keys, sourcing vans is an emotional labor. The way Kingbee helps fleets scale can really tug at the heartstrings, so we suggested that he organize his thoughts in a diary and let the words flow freely.
US Says 52 Million Air Bag Inflators Should be Recalled Over Rupture Threat
U.S. auto safety regulators said on Tuesday that 52 million air bag inflators produced by auto suppliers ARC Automotive and Delphi Automotive need to be recalled because they may rupture and send dangerous metal fragments flying.
The inflators that National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is seeking to have recalled have been used in vehicles from 2000 through early 2018 produced by 12 automakers, including General Motors, Ford Motor, Stellantis, Tesla, Toyota Motor, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Volkswagen.
