Mitsubishi Teases New Pajero's Multi Meter Digital Display

Image
Mitsubishi Motors is gearing up to bring back a legend. An all-new Pajero is set for a global debut this autumn, and early details suggest it’s staying true to its hardcore off-road roots. At the center of the new SUV’s capability is a Multi Meter digital display, a feature inspired by earlier Pajero generations but now significantly enhanced. This system delivers real-time data including altitude, compass direction, outside temperature, pitch and roll angles, and even left-right torque distribution. In short, it gives drivers a live snapshot of exactly how the SUV is handling tough terrain. Whether it’s steep climbs, tight forest trails, rocky paths or muddy tracks, the setup is designed to boost driver confidence when conditions get challenging. It’s a clear reminder that this Pajero isn’t just about looks—it’s built to perform where it truly matters. Mitsubishi says the system is a direct evolution of the brand’s off-road legacy, reinforcing the Pajero’s identi...

Renault Rolls Out Gemini AI to Cars via OTA Update

Image
Renault is stepping up its in-car tech game by rolling out Google’s Gemini AI assistant across vehicles equipped with the openR link system. The update, which began deploying over-the-air on June 15, 2026, replaces the existing Google Assistant—and it comes at no additional cost for users. Unlike traditional voice systems, Gemini brings a more natural, conversational experience. It can handle complex, multi-step requests without needing rigid command phrases, making interactions feel far more intuitive. Drivers can control key vehicle functions such as air conditioning, navigation, media, and settings, while also accessing real-time EV data for smarter route planning. What sets this apart is that the intelligence now sits within the car itself, rather than relying on smartphone mirroring systems like Android Auto. The result is a more seamless and integrated user experience. Importantly, this isn’t limited to new cars. Renault is pushing the upgrade to existing ve...

Volvo Debuts Australia’s First Electric Articulated Bus

Image
Volvo Buses has taken a major step in Australia’s public transport electrification journey with the debut of the BZL Electric Articulated bus. Built for the Public Transport Authority of Western Australia (PTA), this 18-metre-long people mover is designed to handle high-capacity urban routes with ease. The new articulated bus offers seating for 57 passengers and builds on Volvo’s growing electric footprint in the country, where over 140 units from the same platform are already in service. The PTA itself began operating Volvo electric buses back in 2022, making this latest addition a natural progression. Under the skin, the bus is powered by a dual-motor EPT802 setup producing a combined 400kW. Energy comes from a substantial 497kWh battery pack made up of lithium iron phosphate cells, while CCS2 fast-charging ensures operational flexibility. The bodywork has been developed by Volgren, Australia’s largest bus body manufacturer, with production spread across faciliti...

BMW X6 M60i xDrive Launched in India at ₹1.77 Cr

Image
BMW has launched the new X6 M60i xDrive in India, bringing its high-performance Sports Activity Coupé to the market as a fully imported (CBU) model. Priced at ₹1.77 crore (ex-showroom), it blends aggressive styling with serious performance. At the heart of the X6 M60i sits a newly developed 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine. It delivers the kind of power you’d expect from an M Performance model, promising strong acceleration and a deeply engaging driving experience. This isn’t just about speed though—it’s about presence. Visually, the X6 continues to stand out with its signature coupé-SUV silhouette. The sloping roofline and sharp body lines give it a stretched, athletic stance. Up front, slim Adaptive LED headlights with arrow-shaped DRLs and the blacked-out kidney grille with double ribs add to its bold character. M-specific elements further enhance its road presence. Step inside, and the focus shifts to comfort and customization. Buyers can choose from Sens...

McMurtry Spéirling PURE Set for Production Debut

Image
McMurtry Automotive is finally ready to unveil the production-ready Spéirling PURE, its outrageous electric hyper track machine. The final version will be revealed next week, with first customer deliveries scheduled for later in 2026. This isn’t just a lightly updated prototype. In fact, the production-spec car features 95% new components, reflecting the massive effort required to transform a record-breaking concept into something owners can actually live with. The focus this time? Usability, reliability, and a more approachable driving experience. If the name sounds familiar, it’s because the Spéirling prototype has already made headlines. It shattered records at the Goodwood Festival of Speed hillclimb and even set benchmark times at the Top Gear Test Track—territory usually dominated by Formula One machinery. What makes it truly unique is its fan-based downforce system. Unlike traditional aerodynamics, the Spéirling generates up to 2,000 kg of downforce from a s...

Mercedes Data Shows Electric Trucks Are Ready for Long Haul

Image
Mercedes-Benz Trucks is making a strong case for electric freight. After analysing more than 3,000 real-world tours, the company says battery-electric trucks are already capable of handling daily long-haul and logistics duties. The data backs it up. Around 80 eActros trucks are currently operating within Mercedes’ own logistics network, collectively covering over six million electric miles. Between November 2025 and March 2026 alone, more than 3,100 charging events were recorded, highlighting consistent and reliable operations across inbound routes. One standout example comes from logistics firm Seifert. Its eActros 600 regularly covers nearly 600 km per day between Wörth am Rhein and Bielefeld, hauling an average load of 36 tonnes. The benefits go beyond emissions. The operator reports monthly toll savings exceeding €4,000, alongside annual CO₂ reductions of around 90 tonnes. Interestingly, about half of the charging is done using public infrastructure, showing gr...

BMW Deploys Humanoid Robot at Spartanburg Plant

Image
BMW Group is pushing deeper into automation, this time with a humanoid robot. The company has introduced Figure AI’s latest Figure 03 robot at its Spartanburg facility in the US, assigning it to handle logistics sequencing tasks on the production floor. This move builds on an earlier pilot program using the previous-generation Figure 02, which supported the production of over 30,000 BMW X3 units in the body shop. Now, with Figure 03, the tech has taken a clear step forward. The upgraded robot brings new capabilities, including wireless charging, tactile sensors in its hands, integrated palm cameras, and even speech-to-speech communication. In simple terms, it’s smarter, more aware, and easier to integrate into real-world factory environments. At Spartanburg, the robot’s job is straightforward but critical. It picks parts from large, unsorted containers and organizes them into sequencing trolleys. These are then delivered just-in-sequence to assembly line workers, ...
