Triton Electric Vehicle has taken the wraps off its hydrogen ICE which it claims will revolutionise the automotive industry. The engine is powered by water and available in configurations of up to 16 cylinders.

The technology is such that it replaces batteries and high-cost components that a typical electric vehicle powertrain and drivetrain architecture would require. Even a fuel-cell architecture would require batteries and other high-cost components such as the fuel-cells, motors etc. 

Capable of significantly reducing dependency on Chinese markets, according to Himanshu Patel, CEO and Founder, Triton Electric Vehicle, the components of the engine will be manufactured in India.  

“Emitting only water vapour instead of carbon dioxide, our engine leverages hydrogen as a clean and abundant fuel source, the hydrogen ICE is engineered for versatility,” Patel informed. “The hydrogen ICE could be adapted for almost all vehicle categories – from compact cars to large commercial trucks,” he added. 

The company is open to collaborate with automotive manufacturers, fleet operators in order to integrate what it claims is a groundbreaking technology into their vehicles.

Nexteer Automotive has announced that its Electro-Mechanical Brake (EMB) is ready for mass production following extensive development and validation. First introduced as a concept at Auto Shanghai 2025, the EMB completes Nexteer’s Motion-by-Wire portfolio, allowing the company to offer integrated steer-by-wire and brake-by-wire solutions.

The EMB system has undergone a year of rigorous testing, including simulations, bench tests and extreme winter performance validation. According to the company, more than 20 original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have tested the product, with several projects now moving into technical co-development.

Nexteer is leveraging its historical expertise in steering to create a unified chassis control ecosystem. This approach offers several advantages for modern vehicle architectures:

• Software-Defined Safety: Nexteer’s ‘braking-steering fusion’ software provides cross-domain redundancy, a critical requirement for Level 3 and higher autonomous driving. The software features open interfaces for rapid integration into OEM-specific architectures.
• Hardware Efficiency: By platformising actuator modules – including motors, sensors, and ASIL-D microcontrollers – Nexteer is reusing hardware components across steering and braking systems to reduce costs and development timelines.
• Global Supply Chain: The company is utilising high supplier overlap between its steering and braking divisions to achieve economies of scale through centralised procurement.

Jun Li, Senior Vice-President and APAC Division President, Nexteer Automotive, said, “The integration of Nexteer’s Steer-by-Wire and EMB isn’t just a simple ‘1+1’ — it’s a natural evolution rooted in the fundamentals of mechatronics, and a key enabler for achieving both safety and cost-effectiveness in high-level autonomous driving. Choosing Nexteer means more than just picking up two components — it means getting a complete, proven, production-ready, and cost-effective chassis motion control solution.”

Technology firm AUMOVIO and adhesive manufacturer tesa have entered a partnership to introduce a new mechanical integration solution for automotive displays.

The collaboration focuses on a robotic bonding process that allows for debonding-on-demand, a feature designed to facilitate repairs and recycling throughout a vehicle's life cycle.

The system utilises a 2 mm wide adhesive tape that is applied robotically, providing an immediate load-bearing bond without curing time. This narrow profile enables the manufacturing of ultra-thin display bezels similar to those found in smartphones.

Unlike traditional permanent adhesives, this bond can be selectively detached with minimal effort, allowing individual display components to be replaced or reworked during production or service without discarding the entire module.

The technology is engineered to compensate for material expansion across automotive temperature ranges while supporting circular economy principles. By enabling the recovery of valuable components at the end of a vehicle's service life, the solution aligns with AUMOVIO’s sustainability strategy. The partners are currently preparing to integrate this process into volume production during the second quarter of 2026.

Pavel Prouza, Head of the User Experience (UX) Business Area at AUMOVIO, said, “The combination of highly precise, automated application and targeted detachability adds an important element to our manufacturing and quality processes. It strengthens the robustness of our production, reduces material waste, and promotes efficient use of valuable components. For the end customer, this could even mean that future repairs may require replacing only the affected individual components in a cost-effective way.”

David Caro, Head of Automotive, tesa, said, “This partnership demonstrates how innovative materials technology is advancing the mobility of tomorrow. Together with AUMOVIO, we offer automated adhesive bonds that not only provide long-term durability but can also be deliberately debonded – enabling efficient production, longer product life cycles, and circular product concepts. This helps our customers translate their sustainability goals into tangible product solutions.”
