Titan Components: strong and beautiful

27 May 202627 May 2026 Redazione

The Titan Group has inaugurated its new painting facility located in Finale Emilia, the result of an investment of more than seven million euros and now regarded as the benchmark plant for the European wheel market in terms of modernity and efficiency Painting the visible components of a tractor is a fundamental process aimed at protecting those components from chemical and environmental aggression. It is therefore not merely an aesthetic finishing operation, but an important surface-finishing production stage which, in the specific case of wheel rims, must also guarantee high…

Robocar by Tensor: independence day

25 May 202625 May 2026 Redazione

U.S.-based company Tensor is preparing to launch commercial sales of “Robocar” during the course of this year, presenting it as the first Level 4 autonomous vehicle designed for private mobility. Powered by a fully electric drivetrain, it operates through a dual artificial intelligence system intended to redefine the driving experience Autonomous driving may be closer than many people think — at least according to the commercial ambitions of Tensor, the California-based company specializing in autonomous vehicle development, which has announced that its “Robocar” model will reach the market within the…

Hydrogen-powered turbine for five minutes

25 May 202625 May 2026 Redazione

It was developed in Germany a hydrogen-powered turbine without an axial compressor, a unit normally found in traditional turbines but which absorbs almost half the energy produced In tests, it lasted just 303 seconds, about five minutes—a short time, but it broke NASA’s record for hydrogen-powered turbines. Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany beat this record by developing a hydrogen-powered turbine without an axial compressor, a unit normally found in traditional turbines but which absorbs almost half the energy produced. The new system eliminates components by using…

Engine Perkins 904J-E36Tta: class-leading performance

Italian bicycle market in decline: difficult times

20 May 202620 May 2026 Redazione

The Italian bicycle market sector closes 2025 with a drop in sales of four percent compared to the previous year, with purchases of “muscular” vehicles falling by three percent and e-bikes by seven percent Declines or growth rates of this magnitude are obviously neither alarming nor particularly exciting, especially considering that, in the case of bicycles, domestic production increased by six percent, exports improved by 11 percent, and imports fell by 28 percent. Overall, the sector would appear to be relatively healthy — were it not for the fact that…

Emil Level, the new laser sensor by Emiliana Serbatoi

15 May 202615 May 2026 Redazione

“Emil Level” is the new laser sensor designed and developed by Emiliana Serbatoi to remotely monitor fuel levels within a tank, accurately and safely. The sensor transmits data directly to a cloud, which can be accessed by the user either via a web interface for computers or a dedicated mobile app. Its electro-optical operating principle, based on cutting-edge laser technology, also ensures continuous and accurate fuel level indication, ensuring maximum reliability even in variable conditions. Its extremely simple installation, with no need for wiring or external power supplies, allows it…

Lubricant Pakelo: conciliatory balancing acts

13 May 202613 May 2026 Redazione

An engine’s reliability depends largely on the quality of the lubricant working within it, particularly the viscosity level that develops when the unit operates for extended periods at full throttle and full load. However, viscosity also affects fuel consumption, so it’s essential to find the right balance between protecting the mechanics and reducing energy consumption The primary function of a lubricant within an engine is to separate the surfaces of interconnected mechanical components. Two examples of this are the pistons sliding within the cylinders and the bearings supporting the crankshafts,…

Looking for a long-lasting battery, but without acid

11 May 202611 May 2026 Redazione

Research continues worldwide to develop batteries capable of competing with gasoline and diesel fuel tanks in terms of energy storage density The latest study in this direction is proposed by City University of Hong Kong, a long-lasting battery without acid. The prototype battery uses an aqueous solution free of acid and lithium ions, improving both performance and environmental friendliness. The new system uses an electrolyte based on magnesium and calcium salts, with an organic polymer acting as the anode and a substance similar to Prussian blue as the cathode. Initial…

Honda Sh model Honda “Sh125i” and “Sh150i”: scooter by seven generations

11 May 202611 May 2026 Redazione

A blend of Italian design and Japanese technology, the high-wheel scooters Honda Sh models “Sh125i” and “Sh150i” are today’s symbols of a vehicle born over 40 years ago as a “fifty,” which has dominated—and still dominates—the European market in its segment With updated styling and improved comfort, the “Sh” gained greater efficiency, positioning itself as an alternative to traditional low-wheel scooters, which were less stable and safe on uneven surfaces. In 2001, 25 years ago, a further evolution came with the replacement of two-stroke engines by two four-stroke units of…
