The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) seeks public input on a proposed modification to its waiver of Buy America requirements for electric vehicle (EV) chargers, which could impact K-12 student transportation professionals looking to use federal funds to purchase the equipment for electric school buses.
The proposal, announced Tuesday by FHWA Administrator Sean McMaster, aims to increase the domestic content requirement for EV chargers used in federally funded projects.
Currently, the waiver issued two years ago allows EV chargers manufactured in the U.S. to meet a 55-percent domestic component cost threshold. FHWA is considering raising this requirement to as much as 100 percent, meaning all components of EV chargers would need to be sourced domestically.
This change could have significant implications for school districts planning to use federal funds for EV charger acquisition or installation, when or if the EPA’s Clean School Bus Program or other funding projects return. FHWA said the proposal is part of a broader effort to support domestic manufacturing and align with federal priorities to maximize the use of American-made products in infrastructure projects.
If finalized, the new requirements would apply to projects obligated after the publication of the final notice.
Public comments on Docket No. FHWA-2025-007030 will be available through March 16 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern. FHWA said transportation professionals are encouraged to share their perspectives on the potential impact of the increased domestic content requirement, including any challenges or benefits it may present for school bus electrification projects.
Mercedes is issuing a third fire-related recall for the EQB.
A previous software fix didn’t work and fires continued.
The automaker will replace batteries in thousands of EVs.
Another day, another fire-related recall involving an electric vehicle. This has become a common occurrence, but the déjà vu goes much deeper as Mercedes is recalling the EQB for a third time.
The latest campaign is known as 26V073 and it replaces two recalls from last year that involved 7,531 vehicles. Unfortunately for owners, crossovers that were previously ‘repaired’ under those recalls will need to get the new fix.
According to the government, 11,895 EQBs from the 2022-2024 model years have a battery that may fail internally. If this happens, the vehicle could catch on fire while parked or being driven.
Software Fix Under Question
While there’s a lot of back story, the initial recalls were sparked by a series of thermal events. The company tried to address the problem with a software update, but two crossovers that received the upgrade caught on fire late last year.
This kicked off an investigation, which eventually determined the effectiveness of the software update to reduce fire risks could not be “fully confirmed.” As a result, Mercedes decided to conduct a new recall that will see thousands of batteries replaced.
The batteries were supplied by China’s Farasis Energy and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said they could experience an internal short circuit of a battery cell. This is being blamed on deviations in the production process, which resulted in batteries that are “considered to be less robust against different stress factors potentially occurring during the life of the vehicle.”
What Should Owners Do Now?
Since a high state-of-charge appears to be a factor, owners are being advised to limit battery charging to a maximum of 80 percent. They should also park outside and away from structures until the battery is replaced. Unfortunately, that’s easier said than done as a final remedy isn’t available at this point.
That’s bad news for owners, but notification letters will go out later this month. When replacement batteries are available, a second letter will be sent out. This impacts the 2022-2024 EQB 300 4MATIC, 2022-2024 EQB 350 4MATIC, and the 2023-2024 EQB 250+.
Camouflaged Jeep Avenger prototype spotted in winter testing.
The subcompact is due for a facelift in 2027, four years after launch.
Production of the SUV expands to Brazil with a localized version
The Jeep Avenger might still seem fresh to many drivers, but Stellantis isn’t waiting around. Just a few years after its 2023 debut, the small SUV is already heading for a mid-cycle refresh. The updated model is expected to arrive in early 2027, and now, we’re getting our first look.
Caught during cold-weather testing in Europe, a camouflaged prototype hints at what Jeep may be changing on its smallest offering.
The development vehicle wears a full wrap with Jeep-branded graphics, doing its best to hide the details. But through a few narrow openings, the split LED headlights and cooling intakes seem to be in exactly the same spots as before. One noticeable adjustment, though: the fog lights have shifted slightly lower in the front bumper.
Baldauf
The sculpted profile of the Avenger will most likely be carried over from the current version. Still, the plastic cladding might get a mild revision, and we’re expecting some new alloy wheel designs and exterior colors to freshen things up.
At the back, the prototype doesn’t seem to wear any redesigned panels, although this could change as we move closer to the launch date. The single tailpipe suggests that the turbo 1.2-liter three-cylinder gasoline engine lies under the hood, either in non-electrified or mild-hybrid forms.
What To Expect Inside
Our spy photographers managed to get a glimpse inside the cabin, though Stellantis engineers didn’t make it easy. Everything from the dashboard to the door panels and seats was concealed beneath vinyl. The SUV still appears to feature the free-standing infotainment display, positioned separately from the digital instrument cluster. Even so, the effort to hide it all suggests that changes are coming.
It remains to be seen whether Jeep will add softer materials instead of the hard plastics of the current model, at least on the main touchpoints. We also expect that equipment will be updated with the latest connectivity and safety tech from the Stellantis parts bin.
As for the mechanical side, it’s too early for specifics, but there’s no sign of a major overhaul. The current Avenger offers internal combustion, mild-hybrid, and fully electric options, and that lineup will likely continue. An all-wheel-drive variant is already available through the mild-hybrid 4xe trim, and that setup should carry over.
The Avenger rides on Stellantis’s updated CMP/eCMP platform, shared with several other models including the Alfa Romeo Junior and Fiat 600. It also underpins the Lancia Ypsilon, Opel Corsa and Mokka, Peugeot 208 and 2008, and DS3. That shared DNA means many of the same components and configurations are likely to remain in play for the refresh.
Baldauf
We’ll keep watching the test fleet as Jeep continues development. With any luck, the next round of spy shots will reveal more by shedding some of the camouflage.
Outside of Europe, the smallest Jeep is getting ready for a wider rollout. Production will soon begin in Brazil, where the Avenger will be offered with region-specific updates. In fact, this camouflaged prototype might not just preview a facelift for Europe, it could also be part of the testing program for a localized South American version with its own powertrain changes.
Volvo’s SPA3 platform debuts with the new EX60 electric SUV.
Battery cells can now be mounted outside the wheelbase zone.
Platform lets Volvo build sleeker EVs without crossover height.
Like so many other car manufacturers, Volvo’s line-up is becoming increasingly dominated by crossovers and high-riding SUVs, but there’s hope for those who like sedans and estates. According to the Swedish carmaker, the new SPA3 platform for the EX60 offers the flexibility to support low-slung vehicles.
The new underpinnings, which debut in the EX60, have been created in such a way that battery capacity doesn’t determine the height of the vehicle. This is an important distinguishing point between it and the EX90 and ES90’s SPA2 platform, which is an adapted version of the combustion platform.
In an interview with Autocar, Volvo’s chief technology officer Anders Bell explained that SPA3 enables future EVs to stay closer in width and height to their combustion counterparts. Without having to stretch dimensions just to fit large battery packs, the platform avoids compromising interior space.
Bell added that over 7 kWh of battery capacity can be shifted ahead of the front wheels, opening up more possibilities for weight distribution and design flexibility.
That flexibility comes from a clean-sheet rethink of the platform’s fundamentals. “We can make [cars] high. We can make them low,” said Bell. “It’s all in scalability, and this is unlocked by removing the combustion engine, the exhaust, fuel tanks and everything from the equation, and finding new ways to build up the bone structure and the scalability of the platform.”
Whereas adapted combustion platforms force battery packs to sit entirely between the axles, SPA3 gives designers more room to work with. Cells can now be placed ahead of the scuttle, using more of the floorpan without compromising crash safety or vehicle dynamics.
This means that “in a lower car, you can depopulate cells in the rear footwell, because this is actually what sets the lowest height of a car: the rear-seat passenger.” He noted that many current EVs based on ICE platforms look like baby SUVs because the cars must be raised to accommodate a flat battery pack between the wheels.
By pushing modules ahead of the windscreen, Volvo also creates space for what Bell calls “foot garages.” Similar to those found in the Porsche Taycan and Audi E-tron GT, these recessed floor sections allow for lower seating positions. The result is an EV interior that feels more like a traditional car, with lower rooflines and more natural driving ergonomics.
According to Bell, the new architecture gives Volvo the option to build just about anything it wants. “We can do low. We can do sleek. We can do high. We can do MPVs… It’s all in the cookbook. What we choose to do, however, is a different story.”
While Volvo wouldn’t reveal what kind of low-slung cars it might have in the works, Bell reiterated it can now go “very low, like proper low,” adding “you can achieve this fantastic bandwidth so we can make super-sleek cars, like there’s no battery pack that affects the height of the roof.”
In theory, this could mean electric versions of sedans like the S60 or S90 could be possible, as well as estates like a new V60 and V90. Such models could look a whole lot more appealing than the ES90, which is Volvo’s current closest car to an electric sedan, but actually sits as high as a crossover because of the ICE-derived underpinnings.
Ford’s Model e division lost $4.48 billion again last year.
Total EV losses now exceed $16 billion in just four years.
Breakeven for Model e may not arrive until 2029.
Ford has never been shy about making big, attention-grabbing bets. Sometimes they pay off, sometimes they don’t. In early 2022, the company announced it was splitting its automaking operations into two distinct branches: Ford Blue, handling traditional combustion vehicles, and Ford Model e, dedicated to EVs. At the time, it sounded like a smart move, especially with EV demand climbing fast.
That optimism, however, hasn’t quite paid off. Fast forward four years, and Ford’s huge investments in EVs have come back to bite it. In its latest financial results, the automaker disclosed that the Model e division posted a staggering $4.48 billion loss in 2025. Worse, those losses are expected to continue mounting, even after canceling several planned EV projects.
Earlier this week, Ford revealed its electric car business will likely lose between $4 billion and $4.5 billion this year, and will continue to lose money through at least 2027 and 2028.
Speaking on a conference call following the earnings report, Ford CFO Sherry House stated the company is not aiming for a breakeven point for the Model e brand until “around 2029.”
Tallying The Fallout
In the four years since the Model e division was established, Ford lost more than $16 billion. That’s an extraordinary amount of money, particularly when you consider that the only electric cars it currently sells in its home market are the Mustang Mach-E and E-Transit, following the early demise of the F-150 Lightning.
Combustion Still Carries The Load
According to The New York Times, Ford’s losses in electric vehicles were offset last year by stronger performance from its combustion-powered lineup and commercial vehicle sales. Those segments generated enough revenue to support an adjusted earnings total of $6.8 billion before interest and taxes. Ford expects those numbers to climb in 2026, projecting earnings between $8 billion and $10 billion.
One of the earliest signs of Ford backtracking on EVs came last year when it confirmed production of the F-150 Lightning had been halted indefinitely.
Still, there’s a sliver of hope for those holding out for an electrified truck. The next-generation F-150 Lightning is in the works and will feature a range-extending powertrain that combines electric drive with a combustion engine backup, offering over 700 miles of combined range.
A handful of tech YouTubers recently got hands-on with the Rivian R2.
Like many other new EVs, Rivian is using electronic door handles.
Prices for the new mid-size R2 are expected to start at around $45,000.
After a string of high-profile crashes in the US and overseas, automakers are facing increased scrutiny over something as basic as door handle design. Once a simple mechanical feature, door handles have become unnecessarily complicated with the rise of electronic systems.
Companies like Tesla and Rivian are facing significant criticism for where they’ve located the emergency interior mechanical door releases if electronic issues prevent the buttons from working. Rivian’s solution for second-row passengers is particularly bad in the R1T and R1S, as they need to remove a large black plastic panel and then reach in to pull a cable to release the door.
Is the upcoming Rivian R2 any better? Not really. A handful of tech YouTubers recently had the chance to check out pre-production versions of the R2, and JerryRigEverything has provided us with our first look at the R2’s mechanical latches.
The latch in the front row is quite simple. Positioned on the underside of the floating storage compartment is a little black plastic handle used to open the doors in emergencies. It’s similar to what’s found in the R1T and R1S, although the emergency releases on those models are larger and easier to identify.
Then there’s the rear. The release is in the same position as the one up front, but bizarrely, passengers have to remove a small plastic cover and then pull a cord, just like they do in the R1 models. The only upside is that the placement has changed slightly for the better.
If you have to give your backseat passengers a tutorial on something as basic as opening the doors in an emergency, the design isn’t clever, it’s flawed. Why Rivian didn’t just carry over the simpler front-door setup is anyone’s guess, but it comes across as needless complexity at best, or cost-cutting by reusing the same flawed design at worst.
Is An Update Happening?
There had been some talk of changes. Rivian was reportedly reworking the R2’s emergency releases in response to incidents involving drivers trapped in burning Teslas. But based on this early look, it doesn’t seem like any major improvement has been made compared to the R1 models.
Although, as this example was a pre-production model, it’s possible that things will be changed for production. Or at least, that’s what we hope.
Rivian isn’t alone here. Beyond Tesla, unsurprisingly the poster child for controversial design choices, even Ford has run into trouble with the Mustang Mach-E’s door latches.
And it’s not just the inside of the car that’s raising concerns. Exterior pop-out door handles have created so much controversy that China has decided to ban them on all electric vehicles starting in 2027.
Honda reveals production Super-One ahead of its Japan launch.
Electric hot hatch gets wide arches, power boost, and fake noise.
UK, Europe, and Asia-Pacific markets confirmed for release.
Forget the clinical efficiency and silent hum of modern EVs. Honda has other ideas. The brand is channeling some of its spikiest ’80s spirit into the electric era, drawing a direct line from the analog madness of the City Turbo II to its latest pint-sized experiment.
After showing off a prototype at the Japan Mobility Show, Honda has pulled the curtain back on the production-ready Super-One via a new teaser site ahead of its domestic launch.
The Super-One isn’t just a slightly jazzed-up N-One e:. It’s a city-sized hot hatch, with a wider stance, upgraded chassis, and an electric powertrain that tries to evoke the grit of a gasoline engine with synthesized sounds. Honda says it’s a spiritual successor to the City Turbo II Bulldog from the 1980s.
Widebody Pocket Rocket
Visually, the Super-One stands out with reshaped bumpers featuring functional air ducts, distinctive “blister fenders” along the sides, and a roof spoiler. It also rides on a new set of 15-inch alloy wheels finished in matte Berlina Black with a machined face, paired with wider Yokohama tires.
In terms of size, the Super-One comes in at 3,589 mm (141.3 inches) long, 1,573 mm (61.9 inches) wide, and 1,616 mm (63.6 inches) tall. That makes it 194 mm (7.6 inches) longer, 98 mm (3.8 inches) wider, and 71 mm (2.8 inches) taller than the standard N-One e:, though it retains the same 2,520 mm (99.2-inch) wheelbase.
Honda has introduced a new color called Boost Violet Pearl, inspired by lightning and offered exclusively on the Super-One. Other available finishes include Platinum White Pearl, Crystal Black Pearl, Citron Yellow Pearl, and Mono Gray, each offered in both monotone and bi-tone combinations.
What About The Interior?
Inside, the dashboard layout is mostly carried over from the N-One e:, but the Super-One adds its own touches with reshaped seats featuring heavier bolsters, purple accents, and custom graphics for the 7-inch digital instrument cluster. When Boost Mode is activated, the display shifts to show a simulated tachometer.
Adding to the theatrics, the Active Sound Control system mimics gear shifts and engine growls through the standard eight-speaker Bose premium audio setup. Equipment levels are generous, with a 9-inch infotainment system, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and Honda’s full suite of advanced driver assistance features.
Power Boost
The pint-sized hot hatch is driven by a front-mounted electric motor. While Honda hasn’t officially confirmed the output, earlier details from the Singapore Motor Show in January suggest it delivers 94 hp (70 kW / 95 PS) in Boost Mode.
That might not sound like a lot, but it represents a healthy increase over the 63 hp (47 kW / 64 PS) of the N-One e:. Even so, it is less powerful than the discontinued Honda e that produced 152 hp (113 kW / 154 PS) in its most potent form.
The added power and increased width mean the Super-One will be classified as a passenger vehicle rather than a kei car. Honda has not yet revealed battery capacity or range figures, though the N-One e: uses a 29.6 kWh unit.
Rounding out the changes, the sporty EV features a custom chassis setup with a lowered suspension and wider tracks for improved handling.
How Much Does It Cost?
Full details on the Super-One’s pricing and launch timing will follow in the coming weeks. However, Japanese outlet Creative Trend reports that Honda is targeting a price range between ¥3,000,000 and ¥3,500,000 (approximately $19,700 to $22,900) before incentives.
That positions it higher than the standard N-One e:, which starts at ¥2,699,400 ($17,600) and can drop as low as ¥1,625,400 ($10,600) with full subsidies applied.
Following its debut in Japan, the Super-One will also reach additional markets including the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and select parts of Asia.
Lamar Consolidated Independent School District Superintendent Roosevelt Nivens reportedly shows a solid understanding and strong support for transportation operations by staying in regular contact with operations and transportation leaders as well as frontline staff.

Chief Operations Officer Greg Buchanan said Nivens, “has contributed to meeting transportation needs by helping secure successful bond elections to fund fleet expansion.”
Plus, Nivens — who was named the winner Thursday from among three other finalists for the National Superintendent of the Year award at the National Conference on Education — actively engages with employees during site visits, where he expresses appreciation for drivers, mechanics and leadership alike.
“Recently, he supported funding for 16 additional full-day drivers to cover absences and open routes, and he added leadership roles to keep transportation operations aligned with district growth,” Buchanan said.
The Superintendent of the Year Award is sponsored by AASA: The School Superintendents Association, along with Corebridge Financial and Sourcewell, celebrate the contributions and leadership of public-school superintendents.
Transportation Operations
Lamar CISD runs an entirely in-house transportation system that facilitates daily student mobility across a rapidly expanding district, “which allows the district to directly oversee safety standards, staffing and service quality,” Buchanan said.
It employs 275 drivers across three terminals for265 daily bus routes. The district transports approximately 22,700 students each school day. During the 2024–2025 school year, school buses traveled more than 4.6 million miles, serving both general and special education routes.
Lamar CISD relies heavily on technology to streamline operations, enhance communication and improve safety. This includes Tyler Technologies’ comprehensive student transportation software for route planning, driver navigation, student ridership tracking, and a parent app. Fleet Vision helps the district manage fuel and parts inventory and Trip Tracker coordinates campus-based trip scheduling.
Ahead of the 2026 Superintendent of the Year being named Feb. 12 at the National Conference on Education in Nashville, Tennessee, School Transportation News sat down with those in charge of transportation operations at the respective districts to gain a better understanding of how the services function.
A $10,000 college scholarship will be presented in the name of the 2025 National Superintendent of the Year to a student at a high school the winning superintendent graduated from or from the school district the winner now leads.
Lamar CISD also uses Safety Vision camera systems to monitor bus interiors and exteriors, aiding accident investigations. “Additionally, AI-enabled tools are used daily for operational planning, communication and leadership support, enabling staff to respond swiftly to changing conditions,” Buchanan said.
When it comes to workplace culture, transportation encourages engagement and morale through constant communication. Culture is a key focus of the department to align with the district’s overall strategic plan, “which highlights recognizing exceptional performance and fostering a culture of excellence,” he added.
Communication is fostered through including weekly newsletters, terminal-level outreach, and a sunshine committee that organizes employee recognition, morale-boosting activities and celebrations.
“These efforts culminate in an annual end-of-year awards banquet that honors outstanding service and achievement,” Buchanan said.
One current initiative is to address Texas Senate Bill 546, which requires all school buses to be equipped with three-point seatbelts by Sept. 1, 2029. “The district is meeting this mandate through a combination of new bus purchases and retrofitting select existing buses,” Buchanan said, adding that it is not operating alternative-fuel or energy school buses due to the significant costs and infrastructure requirements.
Another initiative was the opening of a new transportation facility, which was opened to support district growth and improve operational efficiency. In addition, the district opened a new Junior High School which was named after Ella Banks, a 40-year veteran school bus driver at the district.
“This recognition underscores the district’s commitment to treating transportation as an essential component of student success,” Buchanan said.
An unusually persistent cold front sweeping snow and freezing rain across the U.S. last month exposed a key vulnerability in school transportation systems across the South and Mid-Atlantic regions, where prolonged bouts with such severe winter weather is rare.
School districts unaccustomed to sustained winter weather were forced to suspend or significantly alter school bus operations, triggering widespread school closures, delays and logistical strain.
In Virginia, where snowfall is typically modest and short-lived, school districts across northern and central parts of the state struggled to safely operate school buses after repeated rounds of snow, freezing rain and overnight refreezing.
Fairfax County Public Schools, the state’s largest school district, canceled or delayed classes for multiple days, citing icy secondary roads and blocked school bus stops. Albemarle County Public Schools reported similar challenges, noting that while major roadways were largely cleared, neighborhood streets remained hazardous for large school buses navigating early-morning routes.
In neighboring North Carolina, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) also faced transportation disruptions as icy conditions lingered on secondary roads. District officials said decisions to close, delay, or shift to remote learning are guided by a broad, safety-first assessment that extends well beyond road conditions alone.
“CMS considers multiple factors, including primary and secondary road conditions, local and state plowing schedules, staff commute safety, student drivers and walkers, accessibility needs, and the readiness of more than 200 facilities that must be safely cleared of snow and ice,” said Tom Miner, assistant communications officer for the district.
Miner told STN that Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools and administrative sites are not maintained by city or county crews. While local agencies focus on public roadways, district operations teams are responsible for clearing school parking lots, entrances, walkways, and bus lots to ensure safe conditions on campuses.
Because Charlotte-Mecklenburg serves a geographically large and diverse community, Miner said decisions prioritize countywide student and staff safety. When school is in session, district operations significantly increase traffic on local roads through buses, staff vehicles, families and student drivers, a factor weighed carefully during weather-related decision-making. District leaders also rely on guidance from weather experts and emergency management officials as recovery efforts unfold across the county.
The impact of the cold front was also pronounced in Tennessee, where severe winter weather remains relatively infrequent outside of mountainous areas. In east and middle Tennessee, a rare combination of freezing temperatures, snow and icy road conditions prompted widespread school closures as bus fleets were sidelined. Metro Nashville Public Schools canceled classes after determining that residential roads and rural routes were unsafe for bus travel.
Rocky (and Icy) Top
In Knox County, back-to-back winter storms over the past two weeks forced multiple canceled instructional days and delayed schedules. Ryan Dillingham, executive director of transportation for Knox County Schools, said even modest winter weather can have outsized effects in the region.
“We’re in an area that typically does not see heavy winter weather, so a relatively small amount that wouldn’t even be worth considering in other parts of the country can impact us heavily,” Dillingham told STN.
Knox County Schools
Dillingham said the district relies on a network of contracted bus operators positioned throughout Knox County to assess road conditions during weather events, combining those reports with forecast data and information from law enforcement, first responders and school safety and maintenance teams to guide decision-making.
“One of the unexpected impacts of these storms has been to drain our supplies of salt and de-icing compounds,” he explained. “We’re almost out locally, and suppliers are facing delays getting resupplies. That has led the county to prioritize major thoroughfares over neighborhood roads, which is logical and appropriate, but we have a lot of stops on neighborhood roads, so we feel that impact.”
Transportation officials across the region emphasized that many school bus fleets in southern states are not equipped with snow tires or chains, equipment typically unnecessary given their usual climates. Even brief overnight refreezing made routes unpredictable, forcing districts to prioritize safety over maintaining regular schedules.
Educators expressed frustration with the disruptions but largely supported school district decisions, acknowledging that transportation systems designed primarily for extreme heat and heavy rain are ill-suited for winter storms. The disruptions also renewed discussions about preparedness, with some districts exploring expanded use of remote learning days or adjustments to academic calendars to account for weather-related instructional losses. While forecasters expect temperatures to gradually moderate, school leaders say the cold front has already left a lasting impression.
LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Geotab Inc. (“Geotab”), a global leader in connected transportation, video telematics and asset tracking solutions, today at Geotab Connect 2026 launched the GO Anywhere family of asset trackers. Purpose built for distinct customer needs and use cases, the new hardware line delivers unified visibility across trailers and equipment while addressing critical business challenges, including the significant financial drain caused by lost or underutilized assets. The launch comes as the industry faces staggering costs from equipment misplacement and downtime; for instance, construction equipment loss alone exceeds $1 billion yearly in the U.S., often leading to project delays that multiply the total financial impact.
Geotab is including Starlink Direct To Cell connectivity in its GO Anywhere Plus asset tracker*. This marks a significant milestone in the industry, merging mobile and satellite networks, in a commercial IoT device. This innovation provides seamless coverage for high-value assets even in the most remote “dead zones,” at a fraction of the cost of traditional, hardware-intensive satellite connectivity.
“Losing a critical piece of equipment is about more than the replacement cost, it’s about the worker who can’t finish their job and the customer whose project is now stalled,” said David Wooten, Senior Manager Product Management at Geotab. “By providing near real-time visibility and vital data insights, we are helping remove the uncertainty that comes with managing valuable assets across multiple sites. Whether it’s ensuring a generator is maintained based on engine hour readings or confirming a trailer is ready for the road, we want to ensure that when a crew shows up for work, the tools and assets they need are working well and are exactly where they should be.”
Three Tailored Solutions for Total Fleet Visibility
The GO Anywhere family includes three distinct solutions tailored for various operational needs:
GO Anywhere Plus: The ultimate all-in-one solution for high-value mixed fleets. This hybrid tracker combines wired power for near real-time location, engine hours, and inferred hubometer readings with a field-replaceable backup battery for uncompromised insights. GO Anywhere Plus utilizes Starlink Direct to Cell technology, ensuring total operational awareness even in the most remote locations.This eliminates the need for expensive, specialized satellite hardware while maintaining connectivity where traditional cellular networks fail.
GO Anywhere: The definitive “set and forget” solution for non-powered assets, combining long battery life with consistent, reliable tracking. Engineered to deliver up to 10 years of battery life, the device lowers total cost of ownership by eliminating the need for frequent battery maintenance. GO Anywhere provides hourly location updates as a standard, helping ensure assets are trackable over time. In the event of theft, High-Frequency Mode can be activated for rapid recovery.
Small Asset Tracking: Utilizing Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons, this solution allows businesses to track portable tools and equipment via nearby connected assets. This helps reduce the “invisible” costs of equipment loss through geofences that trigger alerts when assets move or are left behind.
By integrating these devices into the unified MyGeotab platform, businesses can eliminate blind spots in their operations, moving from reactive recovery to proactive asset management. Whether protecting construction equipment or monitoring sensitive logistics, the GO Anywhere family helps ensure every asset is accounted for in an increasingly complex global supply chain.
The GO Anywhere will be available in North America in Q2 2026, with a global rollout to follow.
*Starlink Direct To Cell will be available through select carrier partners.

Mazda says rotary dreams live, but business limits remain.
Iconic SP may shape MX-5 more than spawn an RX-7 reboot.
European emissions rules complicate rotary development.
When Mazda rolled out the gorgeous Iconic SP concept in 2023, the enthusiast collective brain immediately screamed “new RX-7 confirmed!” Now yet another interview with Mazda execs is gently fanning those flames again, but serving it with a generous helping of cold financial reality.
In a recent chat, Mazda insiders made it clear the idea of a rotary sports car is not locked in a dusty basement drawer and that the company’s workforce would love to crank out a new RX-7-style flagship.
“The amount of car enthusiasts in this company is insane,” Mazda Europe’s planning chief Moritz Oswald told Auto Express. “Everybody loves cars, so of course there is a deep desire to keep on launching emotional products.”
Profit Is The Priority
The problem is passion doesn’t usually balance spreadsheets, and while no one doubts Mazda could deliver a great $100k sports car, guaranteeing that it would sell in sufficient quantities to make a decent profit is another matter altogether.
“So are we looking into [the Iconic SP]? Yes, of course,” Oswald continued. “But again, we are also a company that has to bring in revenues,” he aded, making clear that the MX-5 is “still our halo car.”
Christian Schultze of Mazda Europe’s R&D team also poured water on the RX-7 dream in the same Auto Express story, stating that “Mazda stands for cars for ordinary people,” not wealthy Porsche owners.
True rotary sports car
But Schultze did hint that if Mazda ever did build something like the SP, it could have a much better powertrain setup than the concept, which used its rotary engine only as a generator to power the 365 hp (272 kW / 370 PS) electric motors that turned the car’s road wheels.
“If you want to have it more sporty then maybe you look rotary plus a more sporty oriented hybrid, more parallel hybrid rather than a series hybrid,” said Schultze. “Because people who cherish the engine, they want to feel the power of the engine directly, not only listen to it.”
What Happened To “Coming Soon”?
This downbeat, pragmatic intel from Mazda Europe paints a very different picture of the SP’s future than the one presented by Masashi Nakayama, Mazda’s design chief, in November 2024.
“This concept is not just one of those empty show cars,” Nakayama said at the time. “It has been designed with real intent to turn it into a production model in the not-so-distant future.”
What feels more realistic to us is the Iconic SP acting as a design preview for the next MX-5. Not the full rotary fantasy, maybe, but still a pretty tasty compromise. And last year’s 503 hp (375 kW / 510 PS) Vision X four-door coupe concept hinted that we could still see a performance rotary powertrain in the near future, though probably not in a two-seat sports car.
Jaguar is recalling 2,278 I-Paces in the United States.
Battery flaw may cause thermal overload and short circuits.
Affected I-Paces will get software limiting charging capacity.
The Jaguar I-Pace was praised upon its release in 2018, even being named both the World Car of the Year and European Car of the Year in 2019. But that early momentum hasn’t aged well. Over the years, the I-Pace’s reputation has unraveled under the weight of battery-related problems, repeated recalls, and even a US buyback program.
Now, the I-Pace is back in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Jaguar has issued yet another recall in the United States due to a serious battery defect, something that doesn’t bode well for its EV aspirations.
More Battery Trouble
This time, the culprit is thermal overload linked to a folded anode tab, which could cause a short circuit. Battery supplier LG has acknowledged there may be additional problems, though investigations are still ongoing.
This latest recall impacts 2,278 I-Paces. Of these, 1,824 are 2020 models built from April 8, 2019, to January 8, 2020, while 454 are 2021 models assembled from March 9, 2020, to June 10, 2021.
According to Jaguar, none of the vehicles involved in this latest recall were taken off the road under prior recall campaigns, nor have their battery packs been replaced, as other I-Paces have.
What Owners Are Being Told
Jaguar is so concerned about the battery issue that it is urging owners to take immediate precautions. Vehicles should be parked outdoors and kept away from buildings. Additionally, owners are being told to charge their vehicles to no more than 90 percent and only when outside.
The issue appears to be persistent. Jaguar has revealed that several 2019 I-Pace models recalled in the past for fire risk were subjected to another recall in 2024. These cases prompted a deeper examination of the battery system, leading directly to the current action.
Impacted models will will receive updated software that limits the maximum state of charge to 90 percent while Jaguar continues work on a permanent fix. Dealers will be notified of the recall starting February 19, and owners should expect official communication from Jaguar no later than April 3.
AC Schnitzer shared new BMW i5 photos with aero-focused mods.
The electric sedan wears a subtle kit and 21-inch alloys.
Owners can add lowering springs and wheel spacers for stance.
BMW is already preparing a mid-cycle refresh for the 5-Series and its all-electric sibling, the i5, but current owners don’t have to wait for the facelift to give their cars more visual presence. Thanks to aftermarket specialists like AC Schnitzer, there are already options on the table.
The German tuning brand has just released images of a newly modified i5 that comes across as a more civilized version of the ultra-aggressive M5.
AC Schnitzer originally announced a series of styling and chassis upgrades for the G60/G61 generation in 2024. At the time, the preview focused on the internal combustion variants. This latest update showcases the same upgrades applied to the fully electric i5, specifically the range-topping M60 xDrive model.
What Does The Package Include?
The styling kit brings a more aggressive stance, starting with a front splitter that works in tandem with matching side skirts and two distinct spoilers at the rear. Touring models get their own unique rear spoiler variation. These parts are tailored for i5 units equipped with the M Sport package, which already comes with sportier bumpers as standard.
For those who want an extra dose of visual drama, the tuner offers stripe decals along the sides. The most impactful upgrade, however, might be the new alloy wheels, which come in three designs, multiple finishes, and sizes ranging from 19 to 21 inches in diameter.
The example shown wears 21-inch AC3 FlowForming wheels with a five double-spoke pattern, paired with bold red brake calipers for contrast. Suspension tweaks include lowering springs that reduce ride height by 20 to 25 mm (0.8 to 1 inch), along with spacers that increase the track width by 20 mm (0.8 inch), giving the i5 a more grounded stance.
The i5 M60 xDrive donor car is the most powerful electric version in the 5-Series lineup. Straight from the factory, it’s equipped with dual electric motors delivering a combined 593 hp (445 kW / 601 hp) and 820 Nm (605 lb-ft) of torque.
Still, AC Schnitzer insists that’s “not enough” for its tuning team. Even so, it’s unlikely they’ll venture into performance upgrades for the EV, instead reserving those efforts for the internal combustion models, including the upcoming M5.
What Do The Upgrades Cost?
As for the cost of dressing up the i5, the upgrades are mostly shared with the standard 5-Series. The front splitter is priced at €1,290 ($1,500), while the side skirts come in at €840 ($1,000). The roof spoiler adds €490 ($580), and the subtle rear lip spoiler another €540 ($640).
Wheels represent the biggest investment, potentially adding up to €5,390 ($7,700) depending on spec. Additional parts include spacers at €486 ($580) and lowering springs priced at €581 ($830).
The Mazda6e will be available exclusively with a 78 kWh battery.
Power is provided by a rear-mounted motor with 254 hp.
It shares a platform with China’s Changan Deepal SL03 sedan.
Mazda has taken its time getting into the EV game, aside from the underwhelming and slow-selling MX-30. But now, it finally has a compelling electric sedan in the lineup in the form of the new 6e, which has just landed in the UK. There’s a bit of sticker shock, though, especially when you compare it to pricing in China, where it’s built and sold as the EZ-6 alongside the EZ-60 SUV.
A single electric powertrain setup will be offered for UK buyers, though shoppers can choose between two trim levels. The entry-level version, dubbed the Takumi, is priced at £38,995 (around $53,200 at today’s exchange rates), landing just shy of the €44,900 (US$53,400) starting price in Germany.
On the surface,this pricing doesn’t seem too far off the mark. An entry-level Tesla Model 3 starts at £37,990 ($51,900) in the UK, and the Mazda wants to be positioned as a slightly more premium offering. Even so, the UK price tag looks far less compelling when held up against what customers in China are paying.
Twice The Price, Same Car
In the People’s Republic, where the 6e is built, the entry-level model starts at 159,800 yuan (£16,900 / $23,100), and the flagship model at 181,800 yuan (£19,300 / $26,300). By comparison, UK buyers are being asked to pay more than twice the price for the same vehicle. Specifically, 2.3 times more.
This discrepancy may come as a shock to many buyers, but it’s not without precedent, as it’s common for EVs built and sold in China to be far cheaper there than they are in overseas markets.
However, keep in mind that, that, unlike mainland Europe, the UK doesn’t impose specific tariffs on Chinese cars. There’s just the standard 10 percent import duty, plus a 20 percent VAT on all new vehicles, no matter where they’re made. That tax is included in the advertised price, unlike in the US.
Battery and Charging Basics
Both trim levels of the 6e sold in the UK come with a 78 kWh lithium-ion phosphate battery, offering a solid driving range of 348 miles (560 km) and the ability to charge from 10-80 percent in 24 minutes.
The 6e doesn’t promise to be a particularly spritely performer, however, as the rear-mounted electric motor is only good for 254 hp and 214 lb-ft (290 Nm) of torque, meaning the sedan needs 7.9 seconds to hit 62 mph (100 km/h).
The higher-end Takumi Plus starts at £39,995 ($54,600) and adds more upscale finishes, including tan Nappa leather, titanium-look accents, synthetic suede upholstery, and a panoramic glass roof.
Despite appearances, the Mazda6e isn’t a purely in-house creation from Hiroshima. It’s based on the Changan Deepal SL03 (also known as the L07), sharing its platform and much of its core engineering with the Chinese model.
Hyundai recalled Ioniq 5 and 9 for a battery pack issue.
Some high-voltage busbars may not be torqued correctly.
Faulty bolts could lead to fire risk or fail-safe mode.
Hyundai is recalling two of its newest electric models, the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 9, in the United States due to a potential fire risk stemming from a battery defect. Both models are currently produced at the company’s plant in Georgia.
According to Hyundai, the issue involves the battery pack’s internal components and could increase the risk of electrical fire if not addressed. Specifically, a recall notice points to improperly tightened high-voltage busbars during assembly.
If the retention bolts work loose over time, this could lead to electrical arcing within the battery pack, which in turn may trigger a fire. Hyundai also notes that these loose connections could disrupt voltage readings, pushing the vehicle into a fail-safe operating mode.
How Many Vehicles Are Affected?
The recall affects a very limited number of vehicles. Hyundai has identified 21 units of the Ioniq 5 from the 2025 to 2026 model years, built between January 24 and September 8, 2025. Additionally, just six Ioniq 9s produced from April 8 to September 12, 2025, are impacted.
The issue was first identified in November, when Mobis North America Electrified, Hyundai’s in-house battery supplier, discovered a battery system assembly unit that failed a quality test. The root cause was traced to under-torqued busbar bolts. By December, Hyundai had compiled a list of potentially affected VINs, and the recall decision followed in January.
Hyundai has confirmed that no related incidents have occurred in the field. So far, there have been no reports of crashes, fires, or injuries linked to the issue.
Starting April 6, Hyundai will notify both owners and dealers. The fix is straightforward. Dealers will inspect the busbar bolts in the battery system assembly and tighten them if necessary.
January’s average new car price hit a record as incentives quietly pulled back.
Affordable models still exist, but true entry-level cars keep disappearing.
Electric car prices slip slightly, but EV sales have taken a dramatic slide.
You might have set a New Year’s resolution to slim down, but new-car prices made no such commitment. According to fresh industry data, prices just set another record for January, proving that handing over $50k for a virgin vehicle is basically normal now. But the number of people who think buying an EV is the normal thing to do has dropped dramatically.
The average transaction price in January reached $49,191, up nearly 2 percent from a year earlier and the highest ever recorded for the month, according to KBB. Although prices dipped slightly from December, Cox Automotive called the drop “seasonally normal,” explaining that the market usually “takes a breather” after year-end, when luxury vehicles make up a larger share of sales.
The average new-vehicle manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP), commonly called “the asking price,” also kept climbing, now sitting at $51,288 and staying north of fifty grand for 10 straight months.
New-Vehicle Average Transaction Price
Last month’s pricing uptick came even as sales mix shifted away from year-end luxury volumes. “We hit a new January high even as prices naturally pulled back from December’s luxury-heavy finish,” said Erin Keating, executive analyst at Cox Automotive.
“Consumers are still finding plenty of options below the industry average, especially in core segments like best-selling compact SUVs, but the disappearance of true entry-level vehicles continues to lift the floor higher.”
Incentives Pull Back Hard
Incentives fell to about 6.5 percent of transaction prices, down from higher levels late last year, meaning buyers are shouldering the burden of those higher prices. Automakers are clearly in margin-protection mode, offering just enough in the way of deals to keep metal moving but not enough to feel generous.
Luxury models and big pickups got the juiciest offers, while compact and midsize cars were left mostly to fend for themselves.
Few Bargains Remain
Compact SUVs remain the value choice. With average prices around $36,000 and down 0.6 percent, they sit well below the industry average and continue to dominate sales. Meanwhile, true bargain basement cars are basically extinct. With the Mitsubishi Mirage gone and the recently axed Nissan Versa reduced to whatever stock is still hanging around, the US market has waved goodbye to the sub $20,000 new car.
At the other end of the spectrum, full-size pickups are still living large. Average prices in that segment remain comfortably above $70,000, and buyers are still lining up, with more than 150,000 big trucks finding homes last month.
January marked the fifth consecutive month where full-size pickups averaged over $70K, reinforcing their outsized role in propping up the market average. Subcompact cars, by contrast, struggle to attract more than a few thousand takers a month. Fewer than 4,000 were sold industry-wide last month.
EVs Shunned
Electric vehicle prices actually slipped to around $55,700, down 0.6 percent lower than a year ago, although Tesla’s fell 2.2 percent in the same period. Incentives for EVs also cooled sharply, dropping to 12.4 percent of ATP, down from 18.3 percent in December. Even at those reduced levels, they remain well above the industry average.
However, we wouldn’t be surprised if they are kicked back in to shore up demand, which has dropped alarmingly, according to the data.
KBB says only 66,000 EVs were sold in January, being down a fifth from January 2025, and you can bet the loss of tax credits from October played a big role. In fact, that total reflects a nearly 30 percent year-over-year drop and a 20 percent decline from December. Tesla accounted for about 60 percent of total EV sales.
VW has launched factory partition for the cabin of the ID. Buzz.
The composite wall adds cargo-style utility to the five-seater EV.
Available for SWB and LWB models, it costs €1,856 in Germany.
Ever wished your family-friendly van could moonlight as a workhorse? Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is narrowing the divide (quite literally) between passenger comfort and utility with a new factory accessory designed for the European market ID. Buzz.
Developed in collaboration with long-time partner Snoeks Automotive in the Netherlands, the fixed partition gives owners a way to convert the rear of their five-seat electric van into a proper cargo area, without sacrificing everyday practicality.
The new partition is mounted directly behind the second row and includes a window, preserving the ID. Buzz’s five-seat layout while creating a separate floor-to-ceiling cargo space much like the ID. Buzz Cargo variant.
Beyond safety, the partition keeps dirt, smells, and noise from the cargo area out of the cabin, while also helping the climate control system work more efficiently by reducing the volume of the space that needs to be heated or cooled.
The divider is made from Compax, a composite material known for being both lightweight and durable. To avoid a purely industrial feel, Volkswagen finished it in a high-grade soft-touch surface. There’s even a built-in storage compartment under the floor, designed specifically to hold the charging cable. Importantly, the setup doesn’t interfere with rear seatbelts or the operation of the side airbags.
The new accessory can be fitted to both the standard and long-wheelbase versions of the ID. Buzz. For the short wheelbase, it’s offered on the Freestyle, Pure, Energy, and Pro trims. For the longer model, it’s available on the Energy and Pro lines. In Germany, pricing starts at €1,856.40, or roughly $2,000 based on current exchange rates.
While the ID. Buzz remains part of VW’s European lineup, the electric minivan has skipped the 2026 MY in the US market, due to lower-than-expected demand. A return isn’t off the table, though. Volkswagen may bring it back in 2027 with more substantial updates aimed at attracting US buyers.
Ford had a disappointing 2025 as their bet on EVs backfired.
Booked billions in special charges related to failed projects.
Tariffs and supplier fires also weighed heavily on the automaker.
Ford has revealed their fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results, and they’re a doozy. While officials tried to sugar coat things, there’s no hiding an $8.2 billion net loss for the full year, the company’s largest since the 2008 financial crisis, also known as the Great Recession. This compares to a net profit of $5.9 billion the prior year and it came despite revenues of $187.3 billion.
The company was dragged down by an $11.1 billion net loss in the fourth quarter, as well as lackluster demand for electric vehicles. Ford’s Model e division reported a full-year EBIT loss of $4.8 billion, although they noted it was an improvement compared to 2024.
EVs weighed heavily on the automaker last year as they booked a $10.7 billion special charge for “Model e Asset Impairment and EV Program Cancellations.” Another $1.2 billion was wasted on cancelled three-row EVs, while $3.2 billion went to the BlueOval SK joint venture disposition. The company also spent around $500 million on a fuel injector recall.
While EVs were front and center as Ford recently killed the fully electric F-150 Lightning, they weren’t the company’s only problem. Far from it as the automaker got hammered by tariffs as well as fallout from the Novelis fires. The latter impacted supplies of aluminum, which hampered F-150 production.
For the year, the company posted an adjusted EBIT of $6.8 billion, which was down from $10.2 billion in 2024. Adjusted earnings per share also fell from $1.84 to $1.09.
CEO Jim Farley said, “Ford delivered a strong 2025 in a dynamic and often volatile environment. We improved our core business and execution, made significant progress in the areas of the business we control – lowering material and warranty costs and making real progress on quality – and made difficult but critical strategic decisions that set us up for a stronger future.”
Speaking of which, the company is expecting an adjusted EBIT of between $8 and $10 billion for 2026. The automaker is also expecting to lose $4 to $4.5 billion on Ford e.
On top of that, we can expect special charges of around $7 billion in 2026 and 2027 due to their “updated EV strategy and expected disposition of BOSK [BlueOval SK] investment.”
Honda logged its fourth straight quarter of operating losses.
EV-related write-offs reached $1.71 billion through December.
A revised EV roadmap is expected to be announced this year.
Honda, like many other automakers, is learning just how expensive missteps and overinvestment in the EV market can be. The Japanese company has already taken major write-offs tied to its electric vehicle efforts and now finds itself in damage control after multiple consecutive quarters of operating losses.
In the nine months ending December 31, Honda reported 267.1 billion yen (or $1.71 billion) in write-offs and expenses tied to its push into electric vehicles. While the financial impact hasn’t reached the same level as Ford’s EV setbacks, it remains a troubling sign for Honda’s strategy.
Losses Pile Up
Honda has shelved several upcoming EV models and recently logged its fourth straight quarter of operating losses. For the first three quarters of its fiscal year, those losses total 166.4 billion yen, or $1.07 billion. Industry outlet Auto News projects that the full-year impact could reach 700 billion yen, around $4.48 billion, all stemming from its EV ventures.
Speaking about Honda’s most recent financial results, executive vice president Noriya Kaihara acknowledged the firm needs “to conduct a fundamental review of our strategies to rebuild our competitive strength.”
GM Partnership Unwinds
Things will soon become even more costly. Honda is ending its close cooperation with General Motors on EVs, due in part to slow sales of the Acura ZDX and Honda Prologue, both of which use GM’s Ultium EV platform. It’s understood that Honda reduced the number of vehicles it purchased from GM, and compensated the carmaker.
Redrawing The EV Map
As recently as 2024, Honda said it aimed to sell up to 2 million EVs annually by 2030. However, it greatly overestimated the global popularity of EVs, which has undoubtedly been affected in part by the change in administration in the US just over twelve months ago. According to Kaihara, the company now plans to “significantly revise our future EV strategy” and expects to unveil an updated roadmap in the near future.
That said, Honda recently told us during a roundtable that the new electric Acura RSX and Honda 0 Series SUV are still on track for a launch later this year.
Central to this realignment will be a renewed emphasis on hybrid models. Honda aims to double its hybrid sales to 2.2 million units in 2020, signaling a clear pivot away from its earlier EV-heavy approach.
