In early July, the first Model 3 cars finally left Tesla’s factory, an occasion that resulted in great enthusiasm among analysts and shareholders alike. Initial production was limited to 30 units – 20 for employees and 10 for test drives. Custom-made versions, maybe? It doesn’t look like actual series production, but the event was an effective PR tool to launch the new mass-produced electric vehicle. (more…)

Soon, Toyota may not only be known for its fuel cell cars and buses, but for trucks as well.

They will be supported by a 12-kilowatt-hour battery to provide 500 kilowatts of output and 1,800 Nm of torque at a range of 320 kilometers (199 miles). (more…)

This year’s June issue came with a detailed description of the electrolyzer market and in-depth reports on manufacturers and their products.
