More than 700 watts of solar cells power a floormounted battery with a range of more than 600 kilometres. Compact electric motors mounted in each of the three 16inch wheels produce a combined 150kW of thrust, enough for a foursecond sprint to 100km/h and a top speed of around 160km/h. Aptera claims its car weighs less than 1000 kilogrammes and has an ultralow drag design with aerodynamic efficiency comparable to solarpowered racers. The threewheeled, twoseat car is not as practical as larger rivals such as the Lightyear One, but it is expected to be less expensive. Chris Anthony, Aptera cofounder, says the company hopes to begin production by the end of 2023 but that timeline is funding dependent . B2B Tech News | 2 years ago

The feasibility of introducing a single currency for Latin America is being researched by Brazil and Argentina. According to the Financial Times, the action may eventually lead to the formation of the secondlargest currency bloc on earth. The concept will be discussed by the two nations this week at a conference in Buenos Aires. In contrast to the euros 14% share of global GDP, a monetary union would account only 5% of it. The first regional bank on the continent to introduce a standard digital currency is the Bank of Central African States BEAC. The Banks board was persuaded to move forward with the change last summer by its board. The U.S. Federal Reserve is working with a group of top commercial banks on a watershed project involving digital currencies. B2B Tech News | 2 years ago

The provision in the law for $369 billion for lowemissions energy and green technology concerns Europeans. They are concerned that major projects will be awarded to the United States rather than Europe. During meetings in Davos, Switzerland, the phrase trade war was mentioned several times. European delegates at Davos call for a strong response to US legislation in order to boost investments in clean technology and energy. The EU should use some of the money from a postpandemic recovery fund worth 700 billion euros $760 billion to boost the regions competitiveness. B2B Tech News | 2 years ago
A traffic camera may be listening to that annoyingly loud car.
Traffic cameras use sound metres that can recognise modified cars and motorcycles. A 12month trial programme has issued citations to at least 71 motor
Traffic cameras use sound metres that can recognise modified cars and motorcycles. A 12month trial programme has issued citations to at least 71 motorists so far. Noise has an impact on emotions, mental health, hearing, and may even have a connection to heart disease. The New York Times described the city as a fireball of sound in 1905. That question was answered by a global epidemic more than a century later. Although ambulance sirens and, at night, illegal pyrotechnics frequently disrupted the silence, it allowed residents to once again hear birdsong. B2B Tech News | 2 years ago

A southern elephant seal was tagged by scientists on the island of Kerguelen, which is located in the far southern Indian Ocean. The seal provided early evidence that Denman Glacier could pose a significant threat to global coastlines. Denman glacier had received little scientific attention at the time. The deepest point of them all, about the depth of two Grand Canyons, lay beneath Denman. If this valley were to fill with water, global sea levels would rise by nearly 5 feet.
