The Type 01, Jaguar's most important and divisive car in years, has arrived. The production follow-up to the polarising Type 00 concept, Jaguar says the electric, four-door grand tourer is its most powerful road car ever. Even though the Type 00's design chief was reportedly fired earlier this year, most of its aesthetic has carried over to the final car, for better or worse. You can't buy it in that hot Miami pink though - didn't anyone tell them GTA VI is almost here? It has the same low-slung silhouette, extended side-profile, and huge 23-inch wheels as the prototype, though shifting to a four-door design makes those proportions feel mor … Read the full story at The Verge.

arXiv:2610.06881v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, a comparative review of different hybrid models for short-term forecasting of building thermal demand is carried out. Particularly, the assessment tackles the comparison of data-driven models enhanced with other state-of-the-art techniques. At the first step, the existing techniques reported in the literature are analysed. It is concluded that Metaheuristics or a data-driven model are used to identify the parameters of the basic model. The qualitative evaluation includes for each method the input and output features, main advantages and drawbacks. At the second step, an existing dataset of historical thermal demand from Scottish households, as well as historical weather forecasts are utilized to assess additionally the performance of existing hybrid methods. From the assessment of 13 hybrid methods, the Empirical Modal Decomposition - long short-term memory - Markov (EMD-LSTM-Markov) model can predict with the highest

HD Hyundai XiteSolution has launched electric forklifts with lifting capacities of up to 18 tons, expanding electrification into heavy-duty worksites such as shipyards, ports and steel mills. The company said Monday that it recently held a test-drive event for its next-generation electric forklifts at its plant in Eumseong, North Chungcheong Province, where it showcased its new large-model lineup and began mass production. The lineup includes 10- to 18-ton models, following the launch of mid-sized electric forklifts last year. HD Hyundai XiteSolution is the only Korean manufacturer producing electric forklifts with capacities of 10 tons or more.
