It was more than rumors that Japanese automotive giants Nissan and Honda were eyeing a merger by 2026 which would revolutionize the industry with the appearance of what in Reuters' view would be the third-largest auto group worldwide. The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding whereby discussions about integration via a joint holding company would go on during 2025, it was announced. Earlier this month, Nissan's CEO Makoto Uchida admitted that the company's situation was “severe.” In addition, Mitsubishi Motors, of which Nissan owns a 24% stake, will decide next month whether to join the merger. Japanese automakers are trailing their international competitors in the electric vehicle field, including Tesla and China's BYD. The rise of Chinese automakers and new players has changed the car industry quite a lot, Honda CEO Toshihiro Mibe said. We have to build up capabilities to fight with them by 2030, otherwise we'll be beaten, he added. According to a leading automotive industry expert, Nissan and Honda would be positioning themselves for the future, which will be defined by electrification and autonomous technology. According to Mibe, Honda would retain a leading role in the partnership after the merger, which is expected to be completed by June with the new holding company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange by August 2026. As per an Associated Press estimate based on Mibe's statements, a merger could result in a behemoth worth more than [US]$ 50 billion based on the market capitalization of all three automakers - Honda, Nissan, and Mitsubishi, who seek to take on Toyota and Volkswagen. “We have come to the realization that in order for both parties to be leaders in this mobility transformation, it is necessary to make a bolder change than a collaboration in specific areas,” Mibe said. Even after a merger Toyota, which rolled out 11.5 million vehicles in 2023, would remain the leading Japanese automaker. If they join, the three smaller companies would make about 8 million vehicles. In 2023, Honda made 4 million and Nissan produced 3.4 million. Mitsubishi Motors made just over 1 million.Carrefour's cold shoulder for South American beef sparks a backlash from Brazil

Huge Australian crocodile made famous by cameo role in Crocodile Dundee diesIn order for a VR environment to seem real, it definitely helps if you can experience the sensation of touch within that virtual world. A special sleeve could soon allow people to better do so, using air instead of electric motors. In most haptic feedback systems we've seen so far, the sensation of being touched is managed via arrays of which vibrate against the skin. Depending on the intensity, duration and sequence of those vibrations, sensations such as being tapped, stroked or squeezed can be simulated. One alternative involves replacing the motors with lighter, less complex and more energy-efficient . These pneumatic actuators simulate touch by selectively inflating and expanding, pressing down against the skin as they do so. In order to press downwards sufficiently, the actuators have to be kept from expanding in other directions as they're inflated. As a result, such systems are often incorporated into relatively bulky exoskeletons with rigid sections that direct the expansion of the pouches. That's where the Haptiknit system comes in. It's being developed by a Stanford University team led by Prof. Allison Okamura, working with colleagues from MIT. The setup is currently being demonstrated in the form of a prototype sleeve which incorporates a total of eight pneumatic actuators arranged in two rows of four. Each pouch can be individually inflated and deflated via a thin hose running to an arm-worn battery-powered pump. The main body of the sleeve was made by knitting nylon and cotton fibers. Thermoplastic fibers, however, were additionally used in the circular dish-shaped sections which house the actuators. By applying heat to those areas once the knitting process was complete, the scientists caused the thermoplastic fibers to melt and then stiffen upon cooling. Those areas then formed rigid housings for the actuators, which directed their expansion down towards the wearer's skin. "A challenge in the field of soft robotics is how do you stick together something hard and something soft – they tend to delaminate," says Okamura. "But putting these fibers into knitting makes a totally seamless transition from parts that are hard to parts that are soft, because it’s one continuous fabric." In an assessment of the technology, both the Haptiknit sleeve and a similar array of eight actuators were tested on 32 volunteers. It was found that with the Haptiknit system, the test subjects were better able to determine the locations of individual virtual taps on their arm. The sleeve was also successfully used to deliver a virtual stroking sensation, by sequentially activating the pouches one after another. What's more, because the participants described the device as being comfortable and easy to use, the technology could ultimately find use in applications beyond VR. "Whether the purpose is entertainment, communication, training, or physical assistance, this really brings these wearable devices toward things that people might actually want to use in their everyday lives," says Okamura. The research is described in a paper that was recently published in the journal . You can see the sleeve in arm-pressing action, in the video below. Source:

Global Markets React to Central Bank Rate ChangesThe FLAGSHIPS project takes home the Best Outreach Award at EU Hydrogen Week, celebrating its pioneering role in zero-emission waterborne transport and hydrogen innovation. At the EU Hydrogen Week stage in Brussels, Valerie Bouillon-Delporte, Executive Director at the Clean Hydrogen Partnership, honored FLAGSHIPS’ work in advancing hydrogen as a sustainable fuel alternative in maritime transport: “Our Best Outreach Award recognises the impactful communication successes of the FLAGSHIPS project. Composed of over 10 European partners, FLAGSHIPS is leading by example, demonstrating the potential of hydrogen and inspiring both the public and industry to champion sustainable maritime transport worldwide. Congratulations on this well-deserved achievement!” Funded by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership, FLAGSHIPS drives a new era of green shipping with two hydrogen-powered vessels operating on Europe’s waterways. Jyrki Mikkola, Project Coordinator representing VTT, shares his gratitude for the EU award: “We are truly honored to be recognized by the EU for our work with FLAGSHIPS. Our project illustrates hydrogen’s critical role in zero-emission waterborne transport. Knowledge-sharing about our innovations is essential as market enthusiasm grows.” (from left) Valerie Bouillon-Delporte (Clean Hydrogen Partnership), Håvard Tvedte (Maritime CleanTech), Jyrki Mikkola (VTT) and Kristina Fløche Juelsgaard (Ballard) FLAGSHIPS showcases two groundbreaking vessels. The H2Barge2, a retrofitted cargo vessel, navigates the Rhine between Rotterdam and Duisburg. The Zulu 06, a new-build vessel, prepares to launch on the Seine in Paris in December. Both use hydrogen PEM fuel cells and battery technology, setting new standards for zero-emission logistics. “FLAGSHIPS is leading by example,” says Ada Jakobsen, CEO of Maritime CleanTech. “Together, we pioneer emission-free cargo transport on waterways. We are showing that hydrogen works at scale. By proving it in real-world operations, we are paving the way for a more sustainable future in shipping. I’m proud to see that these technology solutions gain worldwide interest.” The Best Outreach Award, granted by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership, celebrates projects that excel in public and industry engagement, promoting hydrogen’s role in clean energy transitions. FLAGSHIPS’ success demonstrates a well-executed communication strategy and strong public support, helping drive Europe’s vision for zero-emission transport at waterways. The FLAGSHIPS project unites VTT, Maritime CleanTech, Sogestran, Future Proof Shipping, CFT, ABB, Norled, LMG Marin, SEAM, Persee and Ballard Power Systems, with funding from the Clean Hydrogen Partnership.

Both vessels use compressed clean hydrogen as fuel and PEM fuel cell technologies. Launched in February 2024, Future Proof Shipping’s H2Barge2 (1,2 MW), is operating the 240-kilometer-long route between Rotterdam (NL) and Duisburg (DE) on the Rhine. The second demo vessel, Zulu 06 (400 kW), will operate the river Seine in Paris for Sogestran starting in December 2024. The project demonstrates new waterborne logistics standards by applying and further developing the existing regulations and codes.
