Samsung SDI has won CES 2027 Innovation Award for its prismatic battery solution for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. The battery maker said Tuesday that its SDI U8A3-UPS was named an honoree in the awards’ Enterprise Tech category. A UPS is a battery-based backup system that supplies emergency power to critical facilities, including data centers, when the main power supply is unexpectedly interrupted. "This award recognizes the innovation of a critical power solution for the artificial intelligence era," a company official said. "We will continue to lead the market with products that combine the performance and safety our customers demand." The company explained that its solution stands out for its high-power output, high energy density and fire safety. Using lithium manganese oxide prismatic cells, the battery offers high power output and energy density while taking up 33 percent less space than existing products. This allows operators to maintain a stable power supply

Hanwha Aerospace said Tuesday it has become the first company in Korea to win type approval for a marine hydrogen fuel cell from the Korean Register, the country’s ship classification society. The company said this is only the fifth time worldwide that a classification society has granted type approval to a hydrogen fuel cell for ships. Classification societies are independent bodies that set and enforce technical standards for how ships are built and operated. Type approval certifies that a product meets international maritime standards and the society’s own rules. Without it, a hydrogen fuel cell cannot be installed on ships or on offshore structures such as drilling vessels. To receive approval, the manufacturer must prove both performance and safety in harsh sea conditions. Hanwha Aerospace said its system passed marine environment tests for conditions such as vibration and tilting. It also passed the Korean Register’s review of its manufacturing process and quality control system.

Battery materials makers are accelerating their expansion into lithium iron phosphate (LFP) materials, as growing demand for energy storage systems (ESS) and non-Chinese supply chains in North America fuels competition to secure production capacity. LFP cathode supply commitments between domestic battery cell makers and materials suppliers are estimated to exceed 210,000 metric tons, according to industry estimates, prompting manufacturers — POSCO Future M, L&F and EcoPro BM — to step up investments. POSCO Future M is expanding its LFP capacity by converting part of its existing high-nickel cathode production lines at its Pohang plant. The company plans to increase annual capacity from about 20,000 tons to as much as 105,000 tons by the end of next year. It also plans to utilize up to 50,000 tons of capacity from CNP New Material Technology, a joint venture with CNGR and Fino. Following a 1.07 trillion won ($784.5 million) LFP cathode material supply deal with SK On in September, POSCO

As Tesla prepares to wind down Cybertruck production and Ford pivots from the Lightning to its affordable Fathom, Slate says it has 180,000 reservations. Is the EV truck market finally moving away from premium-priced pickups?

One of the first 500 Cybertrucks reached 86,000 miles before an 80k-mile PCS breakdown forced a 90-mile tow. Despite a warranty dispute and a full battery swap in Las Vegas, its owner reached 135,726 miles and still loves the truck.

A Cybertruck owner says he’s saving a lot of money after switching from a Ram 3500. He says he was spending close to $20,000 a year on diesel fuel while towing with his Ram 3500. However, the Cybertruck costs only $100 a month to charge.

Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas gigafactory around mid-2027, CEO Elon Musk said on Friday, after years of persistently weak sales for a futuristic model once touted as a rival to legacy pickup trucks. The move is a major retreat from what has been one of Musk's pet projects. In an X post, Musk said the wind-down would let Tesla make more of the Cybercab, a robotaxi he has made central to the automaker's autonomous-vehicle ambitions, but one that has yet to prove itself commercially. The announcement comes at the end of a bruising week for Musk, as his record political spending of nearly half a billion dollars yielded little in Tuesday's U.S. midterm elections, with the vast majority of the Republican candidates he backed losing their races. Combined, his companies were on track to lose more than $180 billion in market capitalization for the week. While it was not immediately clear whether Cybertruck production would be moved to another facility or phased out

arXiv:2610.35658v2 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Aviation authorities hold decades of accident reports whose narratives record how investigators reconstructed each accident. Computational work on these archives has mostly sorted reports into fixed taxonomies. In this work, we propose a hybrid framework in which a text-based corpus identifies the leading factors of a failure mode. Physics-based models then quantify how likely that failure is at a stated operating point. Ordered causal chains extracted from 56{,}202 American accident reports with a local large language model aggregate into a causation knowledge graph. On an evaluation sample of 2{,}000 reports, the chains recover 90.8\% of investigator-flagged causes. Each physical factor whose drivers the record carries receives an occurrence model calibrated to the accident population. A leaky noisy-OR fitted to the corpus combines the factors into a failure mode probability that supports intervention. For engine power loss, the
