É incrível realmente, deveria ser um carro comum do dia a dia, mesmo com uma capacidade menor! Para a grande maioria só 3 a 5 gerações para o futuro 😁

A Revolution In The Electric Pickup Market

Gaddafi built the world’s largest artificial river under the Sahara — it’s 4,000 km of giant pipes that pump 40,000-year-old fossil water to entire cities in Libya.

Discovery in Africa scares even scientists: a study published on April 23 reveals that the crust in Turkana has become so thin that it could pave the way for the continent’s division and the emergence of an ocean in the future, in a gigantic geological transformation.

Two African countries will inaugurate in 4 days an 825-meter bridge suspended 90 meters high over a reservoir — it is the largest of three bridges of a megaproject that will supply millions of people.

During works to build an artificial island in Indonesia, workers dredged 5 million cubic meters of sand from the seabed and found over 6,000 fossils from a lost continent that submerged 10,000 years ago.

Japanese garbage collectors treat filthy trucks as if they were dealership cars, and the obsession with cleanliness is so absurd that they invented a washing machine that only exists for this type of vehicle.

After meeting a friend without electricity, a young person creates an ‘ocean generator’ for US$12, lights a lamp with ocean currents, and can help isolated regions.

NASA wants to light a bonfire on the Moon, and the reason behind this test seems like something out of a science fiction movie.

The giant batteries that can prevent blackouts in Brazil are not located in famous power plants, act in seconds to save the electrical system, and can even reduce the value of the electricity bill without the consumer noticing.

What is the cost per square meter to build a common house in 2026?

The fastest-growing risk in Brazilian cities isn’t only apparent during heavy rainfall; it has already increased by 145% since 1985, covers 1.2 million hectares, and can transform floods and inundations into an increasingly common threat.

OMODA & JAECOO tests autonomous VPD parking in a real-world scenario, and the system outperforms an experienced driver with more precision, less time, and intelligent maneuvers.
