Happy to be back at the #carandbike Jury Meet to Select 2021 Bike of the Year: Indian #motorcycles #scooters manufacturers have upped their game in quality, performance, features and styling. New genres being explored creatively: Adventure bikes and performance scooters.

[V Sumantran @sumantran]

An impressive selection of #cars at the #carandbike 2022 Jury Meet to select Car of the Year: true validation of the adage "competition improves the breed". What's more, the jurors were raving about the new crop of #EVs all brought to the fore here!

An excellent summary of how #suburbia and #urbansprawl impacts #climatechange.....sadly, this mistake is being replicated in so many emerging economies today.

Adoption of Electric Vehicles (#evehicles) is increasingly paced by availability of #evcharginginfrastructure. In emerging economies, scalability is constrained by cost. This intelligent effort harnesses cost #innovation to solve the problem.....https://t.co/lZBsVzFiFS

In a world now familiar with the dynamicism of start-ups, we have had to recalibrate our notions of failure and success.....

With this announcement of a major increase in investment and the adoption of a new format unified prismatic cell, #vwgroup underscores the message that #evbatteries are growing scale and evolving technology rapidly. https://t.co/km178uwIUP

The roadmap to wider deployment of #autonomousvehicles will likely evolve through growing use in constrained (speed, chaos, etc.) environments. This move by Cruise Automation is a belated, but not too late, admission. https://t.co/TY6b6V0eSS
