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.
