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.

Redazione

Every engine has its own lubricant.

DaVinci motor “Dc100”: geometric, but exclusive

Redazione

If you ask a motorcyclist why they prefer an unstable and uncomfortable vehicle like a motorcycle over a comfortable and safe sedan, you always get the same answer: “I like it, I have fun.” In fact, there’s nothing logical about traveling on a vehicle that constantly leaves its occupants exposed to the whims of the weather and environment.

Redazione

On construction sites and in agricultural businesses, the routine activities to be carried out are always highly diverse, and often, unpredictable tasks are added, either due to accidental reasons or the opportunity to supplement income with extraordinary and contingent work. A good example of this is winter road maintenance, which is only needed in the event of heavy snowfall, making it unplannable but offering interesting income opportunities. Ideally, each job would be performed with dedicated equipment, but even in the most structured construction and agricultural companies, this clashes with the…
