Automakers are putting the brakes on ambitious all-electric vehicle expansion plans of recent past, increasingly pursuing multiple powertrain technologies for cutting emissions across their global lineups. Horse Powertrain is ready to lend a hand, putting its expertise in both electric motor and ICE technology into an all-in-one fuel-electric drive it calls the Future Hybrid Concept. The visionary setup looks to seamlessly blend battery and fuel propulsion into a single drive unit that easily transforms a pure-electric car into a flexible hybrid.

Even if you've built one of the world's most advanced insect-inspired micro air vehicles (MAVs), it ultimately won't be that useful if it can't stick a good landing. That's why scientists at Harvard University have now given their RoboBee a set of long, jointed legs much like those of the crane fly.
