Researchers at Graz University of Technology found that stitching wood veneers like fabric can sharply improve resistance to peeling and delamination compared with adhesive bonding alone.

Anduril is set to begin producing its Fury loyal-wingman drone at a new Ohio facility, signaling a manufacturing-centric push to scale autonomous combat aircraft for future Pentagon demand.

A reported 100,000-vehicle order split between Argentina and Mexico would turn BYD’s Camaçari factory into a strategic export base for Latin America and could materially accelerate electric-vehicle adoption in both major

Tongwei has signed a three-way agreement to develop a large-scale factory for hybrid heterojunction back-contact solar cells, signaling another manufacturing push in high-efficiency photovoltaics.

Battery makers that expanded for an electric-vehicle surge that did not arrive as expected are repurposing major factory investments for energy storage and other markets, highlighting a sharp industry pivot.

Toyota Motor North America COO Mark Templin says the Trump administration’s tariff regime will fundamentally change the structure of the U.S. auto industry, arguing companies will need more than simple price increases to

Tesla has filed Travis County permits revealing two massive expansions: a joint $20–25 billion Terafab semiconductor campus with SpaceX and xAI, and a long-promised 290-acre ecological park along the Colorado River.

China's electric vehicle industry has compressed development timelines, embedded software-first design thinking, and driven costs to levels that are forcing Western automakers into an uncomfortable reckoning: adapt to a new competitive tempo or accept permanent structural disadvantage.

Argonne National Laboratory researchers have submitted a draft Code Case to ASME that would allow laser powder bed fusion 3D printing for high-temperature nuclear reactor components, potentially cutting years off the approval timeline for next-generation reactors.

BMW has begun deploying commercial humanoid robots in operational roles at a German manufacturing plant, marking a milestone in the commercialization of general-purpose robotics for automotive production.

After decades of conventional automation, manufacturers are adopting physical AI—systems that perceive, reason, and act in physical environments—as the next leap in factory productivity, driven by labor constraints and rising operational complexity.

Military operations in Iran send oil prices surging and raise fears of Strait of Hormuz closure, which analysts say would severely disrupt automotive manufacturing worldwide.

ABB Robotics is integrating NVIDIA Omniverse into RobotStudio, promising physics-based simulation that could cut robot deployment setup times by 80 percent.

As trade tensions escalate, a growing number of electric vehicles manufactured in Mexico and Canada face potential tariff exposure. Here is which models are at risk and what it means for buyers.

From factory floors to warehouses, physical AI is emerging as the next frontier as nations and corporations compete to build intelligent robots.

BMW has begun testing Hexagon Robotics' AEON humanoid at its Leipzig plant, targeting battery assembly and component manufacturing with a full pilot starting summer 2026.

From manufacturing losses to subsidy exploitation and protectionist trade barriers, the factors behind Detroit's massive EV retreat reveal systemic failures rather than a simple market correction.
