Mercury Marine, growing family

Redazione

Mercury Marine is rapidly expanding its product line of low-voltage, 48-volt electric outboards. Just 12 months ago, it launched its first model, the “Avator 7.5e,” but by last August, it had already introduced the “20e” and “35e” versions, whose names indicate, in decimal form, the wattage of power delivered to the propeller shaft. Now, the “Avator 75e” and “Avator 110e” models, also operating at low voltage, have joined the lineup.

Engines, with Texaco oil the action is predictive and proactive

Redazione

The replacement of engine oil is the first and most important form of maintenance that must be performed to ensure the full functionality of an agricultural or industrial machine. In fact, it is also a contractual obligation imposed by manufacturers to protect their equipment when covered by warranty. However, simple oil replacement, along with the replacement of filter cartridges, is merely a precautionary measure and provides no diagnostic value unless the operation is combined with periodic fluid analyses aimed at detecting the presence of solid or liquid compounds resulting from…

“S-A2” by Supernal, the electric aircraft of the future

Redazione

It’s called the “S-A2,” and for now, it’s just a concept—a concrete vision of what a future eVTOL aircraft might look like, designed to operate in urban areas as a new mobility solution. Developed by Supernal, part of Hyundai Motor Group, the aircraft can carry one pilot and four passengers, reaching a maximum speed of 190 km/h at an altitude of over 450 meters. This height is sufficient for urban operations worldwide, considering that currently, only 23 skyscrapers exceed 450 meters, and aside from Central Park Tower and One World…

Redazione

Tokyo Motorcycle Show. Honda unveils its new “CB 750 Four,” and in an instant, the global motorcycle industry realizes it is technologically ten years behind the Japanese manufacturer. The bike’s features were indeed astonishing compared to the competition, so much so that the most popular phrase among journalists to describe it was, “a spaceship has landed.” Industry professionals, however, had a different opinion, deeming the new model “too advanced” and speculating that “it will never be produced.” In reality, the bike was already in production, and soon other “spaceships” followed,…

Full sails ahead with Michelin’s “Wisamo project”

Redazione

“It takes just 15 large container ships to release into the atmosphere the same amount of sulfur oxides as the entire global car fleet. This was written by Macchine Motori in issue 82, as part of an article highlighting the heavy impact that commercial maritime transport has on the total anthropogenic emissions. Of the total amount, energy production accounts for about 73.3%, cars for about 9%, and maritime transport for about 2%. The article concluded by reflecting on the fact that if large ships were powered by nuclear energy, as…

With Renault “Rafale E-Tech 4×4 300cv”, burst technologies

Redazione

The French term “Rafale” can be translated into Italian as “Raffica,” a word that typically refers to an unexpected, forceful, and disruptive wind. A term that encapsulates power and speed, it was chosen in 1985 as the name for future French multirole fighters produced by the Dassault group, which later entered service in 2000. More recently, Renault drew inspiration from these ultra-modern and feared delta-wing combat aircraft to capture the spirit of its high-end D-segment SUV, launched in June last year with a 200-horsepower full hybrid-petrol engine. Renault also announced…

Fpt Industrial and Petronas married today

Redazione

Every engine has its own lubricant. It is one of the golden rules to be respected when you want to guarantee the reliability of an engine as the use of oils that are not aligned with the mission profile that the engine must fulfill or, worse, of low quality, inevitably leads to degradation progressive performance and an increase in consumption, leading, in the most serious cases, to inducing failures which then prove costly to resolve. Hence the need to lubricate each unit with the most suitable oil, both in terms…
