Sitting in a nondescript facility just north of the city’s airport, employees working in this skunkworks facility are harnessing the brand’s tremendously deep experience in vehicle manufacturing by putting almost all of its UEV platform development under one roof. | Image: Ford Ford isn't sending the clearest signals regarding its EV future. We got a glimpse of its Universal EV (UEV) Project last February , but then it pulled the plug on the F-150 Lightning , which is regarded as one of the more successful electric pickup trucks to date. The climate surrounding electric vehicles hasn't helped, either, between loosening emissions rules, tariffs, and the elimination of the federal EV tax credit. But recently, after touring Ford's less-than-two-year-old Electric Vehicle Development Center (EVDC) located in Long Beach, California, I have a better sense of the company's current position. Ford says it will continue to bui … Read the full story at The Verge.

Romanian Pro-EU Government Collapses After No-Confidence Vote, Currency Tumbles To Record Low Lawmakers toppled Romanian Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan's pro-EU ​government in a no-confidence vote on Tuesday, putting at risk the country's sovereign debt ratings, its access to ‌EU funds and the stability of its currency. Of the valid votes cast in the parliament, 285 voted for the motion of censure and four against, exceeds the 251 signatures collected last week for the motion and above the 233 needed to pass, the official parliamentary count showed. Romania's Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan Bolojan has led a minority government since late April when the Social Democrats - the largest party in parliament - called for his resignation and then walked out of the four-party coalition and teamed up with the far-right opposition to file a no-confidence vote. Although a snap election looks unlikely, financial markets are concerned that ​the turbulence could mean Bucharest wavers in its commitment to narrowing the European Union's biggest budget deficit. Romania's leu ⁠currency fell to a record low against the euro ahead of Tuesday's vote. The current coalition came to power 10 months ago with a ​view to containing the gains of the far right after a series of polarizing elections, and it had begun to reduce the deficit, narrowly ​avoiding a ratings downgrade from the last rung of investment grade. But the Social Democrats - without whom a pro-EU majority cannot be achieved - have repeatedly clashed with Bolojan as his austerity measures have hit their voters and patronage networks, while their popular support has bled away to the far right. Nevertheless, opinion polls still show Bolojan is ​the most popular politician in the ruling coalition. Bolojan will stay on as interim premier with limited powers until a new government is approved by ⁠parliament. "Can anyone say how Romania will function from tomorrow, do ​you have a plan?" Bolojan asked lawmakers before the vote. "Romanians w...

Northridge Capital is seeking a buyer for the W Hotel Aspen, a sale that would be the first for a slopeside resort in the upscale Colorado town since 2010. The firm is seeking as much as $175 million for the 88-room property, Northridge Chief Executive Officer David Jackson said in an interview. At $2 million a room, that valuation would be at the high end nationally; last month, Braemar Hotels & Resorts Inc. said it had agreed to sell a Park Hyatt resort in Beaver Creek , Colorado, for just over $900,000 per room. Such properties rarely hit the market around the mountain, and new construction has been limited by land use restrictions that are among the most strict in the country. The supply constraints have kept Aspen prices high: Room rates are up 45% from pre-Covid levels, growing at nearly double the rate of the national average. “Many ski resorts view themselves as places that attracts tourists, and as a result, they’re relatively receptive to development,” Jackson said. “Aspen is the opposite. It views itself as someplace very special, and it is.” Marriott International Inc. , which owns the W brand, will continue to operate the hotel. The W is coming to market at a time when the growing wealth of the upper classes is boosting high-end travel, and the cost and complexity of building luxury hotels is making it hard for real estate developers to keep up with demand. As of March, construction had started on just 81 luxury hotels, according to data from CoStar Group Inc. , with the number of rooms down 40% from 2019. “I think we’re going to see interest from all corners of the investor universe,” said Kevin Davis, chief executive officer of the hotel practice at Jones Lang Lasalle, which is working with Northridge to market the W. Northridge bought the property, then known as the Aspen Club Lodge, for $20 million in 2001, Jackson said. The company changed its name to the Sky Hotel and hired Kimpton to manage it. The location was perfect, sitting just a few hundred...

Everything about Ford Motor Co. ’s Long Beach, California, “ skunkworks ” operation was designed so that its crack engineering team could dream up a new electric vehicle lineup that broke with convention. And yet after years of tinkering, the automaker is aiming to reinvent a form it didn’t get right the first time: the pickup truck. Inside a soaring warren of buildings that’s thousands of miles away from Ford’s Dearborn, Michigan, home, designers and engineers are working on simplifying and speeding up development of what the company says will be a sleek, lightweight plug-in pickup truck that will start at $30,000 . This isn’t the F-150 Lightning redux. This time, the automaker says it’s attempting to overhaul its EV strategy to finally convince polarized American drivers that electric power remains the future of transportation with the right combination of low price, high style and useful tech inside the cabin. It’s built on Ford’s first EV platform designed from the ground-up, but the company isn’t pitching that as its biggest selling point, even in these days of soaring gas prices. “People shouldn’t care about the powertrain in this, they should care about it being the best vehicle to drive every day,” said Alan Clarke , the former Tesla Inc. engineer who joined the automaker in 2022 to lead the project. “And then, okay, fourth or fifth on the list, it saves you money on gas.” It’s an open question whether truck buyers will bet again on Ford and another electric pickup, even if this one does get better range. EV market share in America has fallen by half since President Donald Trump removed consumer incentives last fall for buying battery-powered cars, which he derisively referred to as part of the “green new scam.” Ford’s EV sales plunged 70% in the first quarter , after it pulled the plug on its slow-selling F-150 Lightning and currently only offers one electric model — the five-year-old Mustang Mach e. In December, Ford said it would take $19.5 billion in cha...

【男童涉企圖製造炸藥】 警方拘捕一名12歲男童，涉嫌企圖製造炸藥，他在將軍澳一處橋底進行實驗，又將拍攝片段上載至網上。 警方在行動中檢獲電腦、手機、一小樽液體、防毒面具等。警方稱周一接獲公眾舉報，指有人在社交平台公開發布，進行化學實驗的片段，宣稱製作炸彈，並暗示已製成。 經追查發現一名12歲讀中一的男童，周日在將軍澳一處橋底企圖進行有關實驗，於是在同區將他拘捕，涉嫌企圖製造炸藥。 東九龍總區重案組署理總督察蔡定光指出︰「(實驗進行)位於橋底，但旁邊正正是公眾休憩處及緩跑徑，慶幸今次事件沒造成任何人傷亡或財物受損，若有關炸藥實驗失控的話，後果絕對不堪設想。見到圖中被捕人沒穿著任何防護衣物的情況下，在公眾地方漠視自己及他人的安全進行炸藥實驗。」 據了解初步調查發現，實驗用的物料在家中廚房取出，包括碳酸氫鈉，常見於梳打粉。男童曾在網上搜尋製造爆炸品的資料，其社交帳號追隨者不多。 蔡定光表示︰「製作炸藥的動機及購買原材料等一系列事，是我們警方調查範圍內，(不論)威力大小如何，都一樣是非常嚴重的罪行，切勿以為事小就去干犯罪行。」 跨部門反恐專責組署理警司利子津指出︰「留意到自我激化在全球有年輕化趨勢，事實上任何地方或背景的青年，都有機會受極端思想影響，甚至進行涉恐涉暴行為。」 他呼籲市民提高警覺，見疑即報。 【廉署拘七人涉旺角大廈維修工程招標貪污】 廉署拘捕七人，包括工程承辦商，涉嫌隱瞞間接持有工程顧問公司，以取得大維修的合約。又懷疑有註冊檢驗人員只是兼職，無履行職務。 涉案的其中一幢商住大廈在旺角，據了解在塘尾道，早前就一宗約2,000萬的維修工程合約招標。 一般來說，大廈會聘請工程顧問公司，進行招標事宜，廉署早前接獲業主舉報，調查後發現，工程承辦商東主涉嫌透過親友，暗中持有工程顧問公司，企圖用低價取得工程顧問合約，並在招標過程中，隱瞞承辦商及工程顧問的雙重身份和利益衝突，意圖誘使法團揀選。 工程顧問公司亦沒有按法團要求，申報與工程承辦商的利益衝突，業主立案法團主席涉嫌縱容包庇。由於有業主對招標過程存疑，涉案承辦商最終未有中標。 而它連同涉案的工程顧問公司，涉嫌透過同樣手法，企圖取得位於大坑及深水埗的樓宇大維修項目，共約600萬元合約，最後被廉署成功堵截，並於上周一和二拘捕5男2女，介乎37歲至75歲，包括旺角一棟商住大廈的業主立案法團主席、工程承辦商東主及工程顧問公司的董...

UiPath ( PATH ) announced on Tuesday the release of agentic AI capabilities on UiPath Automation Suite. The company said that the Automation Suite updates help government agencies and regulated industries accelerate agentic AI and automation adoption and are designed to address strict data sovereignty and compliance requirements.

【五一黃金周｜假期尾聲返程高峰】 內地五一假期結束，北京及廣州都出現返程高峰，鐵路部門預計全國的單日載客量突破2,300萬人次。 北京南站大堂人頭湧湧，來自各省市的旅客候車，起程回家。為避開人潮，有人刻意選擇早點出發。 上海旅客李小姐稱：「因為上海人也多，然後也是盡量避開晚上的人流，要不然回家可能就很晚了。」 在出閘口，不少旅客拖著行李箱抵埗，有民眾形容購買車票困難重重。 北京市民王小姐說：「我是候補才買到的，感覺一放票就被搶光了。候補了差不多10次。」 鐵路部門指，北京南站發送旅客逾50萬人次，加開列車疏導人流。 北京南站客運車間黨總支書記趙珊珊表示：「像今天我們一共加開了52列旅客列車，主要集中在青島、菏澤、臨沂、鄭州等方向。」 為了疏導旅客，北京南站接駁的部分地鐵路綫，最晚延長運作到翌日凌晨兩點，同時增加夜間巴士，也加派的士和網約車。 在廣州白雲機場，連日假期客運量逾120萬人次，航空公司登機櫃檯出現人龍。 北京旅客李小姐指出：「作業還未寫完，到今天晚上回去通宵寫。」 青海旅客黃小姐稱：「很沉重，覺得這幾天過得很快，一眨眼就結束了，一下要上班，都不想回去。」 為應對五一假期返程客流，白雲機場已加開安檢通道及加派人手，確保旅客行程順利。 【五一黃金周｜山西五台山有暴風雪約300人被困】 內地五一假期期間，山西五台山景區出現暴風雪，約300名行山人士一度被困。當地消防指，被困的人多數沒有足夠的戶外裝備，因此出現失溫、體力不支等情況。 五台山的其中一條行山路線，在五一假期成為熱門地點，不過較高海拔的台頂區域突然出現暴風雪，現場環境非常惡劣，不少行山人士被強風吹至寸步難行。片段見到部分人衣物較為單薄。 內地傳媒報道，暴風雪之下，至少300人一度被困無法下山，有不少行山人士在附近紮營等待救援。 有被困人士說：「根本就不敢睡，太冷了因為現在，我真的可睡醒了，然後睡夢中凍死了，我真的特別害怕。」 景區應急管理部門及消防接獲131宗求助，並成功救起300人。 消防又指，被困的行山人士主要是大學生及較少戶外活動經驗的「新手」，而他們大多衣著單薄，因此在戶外失溫及體力不支而無法下山，加上缺乏野外常識，導致過度恐慌而誤判自身情況。而景區已設置六個勸返點，建議遊客不要輕易冒險前往高海拔的台頂區。 【深圳公安無人機執勤】 深圳市公安近年引入無人機協助執行任務，處理交通事故、緊急救援等，...

美国与伊朗周一在霍尔木兹海峡发生直接交火，持续了四周的脆弱停火面临严峻考验。此次冲突还波及阿联酋，导致该国富查伊拉港石油设施遭袭起火，3名印度籍工人受伤。 此次冲突源于美国总统特朗普发起的“自由计划”行动。美军中央司令部司令库珀上将证实，美军在护航两艘悬挂美国国旗的商船通过海峡时，遭到伊朗方面发射的多枚巡航导弹、无人机及快艇的攻击，美军随即出动直升机击沉了6艘伊朗快艇。 然而，伊朗方面给出了截然不同的说法。伊朗塔斯尼姆通讯社援引军方消息人士称，美军袭击的并非革命卫队快艇，而是“两艘载有乘客的小船”，导致船上5名平民遇难。伊朗议长卡利巴夫指责美国及其盟友违反停火协议，称海峡航运和能源运输安全已遭破坏，并警告：“我们甚至还没有真正开始。” 与此同时，阿联酋防空部队拦截了从伊朗发射的12枚弹道导弹、3枚巡航导弹和4架无人机。阿联酋谴责这是“危险的升级”，表示保留回应的权利。法国总统马克龙、英国首相斯塔默等领导人谴责伊朗的攻击“毫无道理且不可接受”。 库珀上将透露，目前有全球87个国家的船只滞留在波斯湾等待通过霍尔木兹海峡。受冲突影响，布伦特原油周一收盘上涨5.8%至每桶114.44美元。随着双方各执一词、局势持续升温，“自由计划”会否成为停火协议的“撕开裂口”，引发国际社会高度关注。 责任编辑：张俊 SF065

Speaking of commercial flights, an increasingly nervous chorus of voices from Europe and Asia is warning that jet fuel is approaching critical shortages that may curtail air travel.
