Stellantis, the automotive giant formed from the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and Groupe PSA, has unveiled a groundbreaking innovation that promises to transform the electric vehicle (EV) landscape: a two-speed transmission. This revolutionary technology addresses a fundamental limitation of EVs—their reliance on single-speed transmissions that limit performance and efficiency.

In a bold and unprecedented move, Polestar, a leading electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, has withdrawn from the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI), Australia's peak industry body representing car manufacturers. This decision stems from Polestar's dissatisfaction with the FCAI's stance on vehicle efficiency standards, which Polestar believes are essential to combat climate change.
