The newcomer is the primary premium automobile in its section to characteristic not only a petrol, diesel or plug-in hybrid drive but additionally a totally electrical one. That makes the BMW i5 Touring the fourth all-electric mannequin to enter collection manufacturing at Plant Dingolfing in not even three years.
“Our BMW 5 Series Touring is especially important for Germany and the European market, and a lot of customers have been waiting for it,” mentioned Plant Director Christoph Schröder. But on the finish of May, the wait might be over, as a result of that’s when the brand new Touring – now in its sixth technology – will attain sellers’ showrooms and the primary automobiles are handed over to clients. The new mannequin is already accessible to order now.
Since launching the primary technology in 1991, Plant Dingolfing in Lower Bavaria has been the only real producer of the BMW 5 Series Touring, with greater than 1.2 million rolling off its manufacturing strains through the years. Like its predecessor, the brand new BMW 5 Series Touring – regardless of drive – is manufactured flexibly alongside the BMW 5 Series Sedan and BMW 4 Series and 6 Series fashions, all on a single manufacturing line. Investments within the plant for the brand new BMW 5 Series Touring quantity to approx. 80 million euros.
“For us here in Dingolfing, the BMW 5 Series is part of our DNA,” defined Plant Director Christoph Schröder, “and the launch of the new Touring represents the next step in the renewal of our successful model series.” Last yr BMW 5 Series autos accounted for a few third of output from Dingolfing.

The new Skoda SUV is slated for a market launch by March 2025, with costs prone to begin from Rs 8.5 lakh (ex-showroom)
One of the large new launches slated for 2025 would be the new Skoda sub-4m SUV, which was confirmed not too long ago. It will likely be slotted beneath the Kushaq in Skoda’s India portfolio and would be the carmaker’s new entry-level SUV providing.
Here are 5 issues that will likely be in frequent between the brand new sub-4m SUV and the Skoda Kushaq:
Premium Design And Styling
Based on the primary design sketch teaser that Skoda shared of its upcoming sub-4m SUV, we predict its fascia to have premium styling and butch design touches just like the Kushaq. So, count on it to have a split-headlight setup and the butterfly sample for the grille as seen on fashionable Skoda choices.
Shared Platform
Skoda will likely be utilising the Kushaq’s MQB-A0-IN platform for creating its Tata Nexon-rivalling SUV. However, will probably be tailor-made to stick to the sub-4m phase guidelines.
For reference, the identical platform additionally underpins the Skoda Slavia sedan and the Volkswagen twins of the SUV and sedan, particularly the Taigun and Virtus.
Similar Features List
Kushaq’s 10-inch touchscreen picture used for reference functions solely
The Kushaq is a reasonably well-equipped compact SUV with facilities comparable to a 10-inch touchscreen, cruise management, wi-fi cellphone charging, and ventilated entrance seats. We predict at the least some key options (if not all) from these talked about above to be accessible on the brand new Skoda sub-4m SUV too, which might put it in a aggressive place alongside its feature-loaded rivals.
In phrases of security as effectively, we are able to count on the brand new Skoda SUV to have some commonalities with the Kushaq whose security suite consists of as much as six airbags, digital stability management (ESC), and a reversing digital camera. We additionally hope Skoda equips its upcoming sub-4m SUV with a 360-degree digital camera, a function that’s already current on a few of its key rivals together with the Maruti Brezza and Kia Sonet. However, it’s too early to inform if Skoda will begin providing ADAS tech for its India lineup.
Another necessary issue of the Kushaq’s security parameter is its Global NCAP rating of 5 stars. Since the brand new SUV will even be primarily based on the identical platform, we anticipate it can supply comparable ranges of occupant safety as effectively.
The Smaller Powertrain
While the Kushaq comes with a alternative of two turbo-petrol engines (1-litre turbo-petrol and 1.5-litre turbo-petrol), Skoda is prone to supply the smaller powertrain on its new SUV. This would enable it to be priced competitively making full use of the phase’s advantages for smaller displacement engines. We predict the brand new mannequin to come back with the identical 6-speed guide and automated gearbox choices too.
The Skoda sub-4m SUV is slated to go on sale by March 2025, with costs anticipated to start out from Rs 8.5 lakh (ex-showroom). It will sq. off in opposition to the Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Maruti Brezza, Kia Sonet, Mahindra XUV300, Renault Kiger, Nissan Magnite, and the Maruti Fronx sub-4m crossover.
The begin of a brand new 12 months within the motorcycle world is at all times stuffed with anticipation of the brand new fashions coming in scorching. If 2023 was a great 12 months for brand spanking new and revised fashions, then 2024 seems to be the identical. The fashions on this record we’ve both seen in press releases or within the flesh at the EICMA show in Milan last November or confirmed by corporations unofficially, however we’ve but to swing a leg over them and see if the fact lives as much as the hype. That it should isn’t actually doubtful as we’re witnessing an age of extremely well-engineered and dynamically sensible bikes in no matter class you’d care to say. No matter your using desire, it’s sure that 2024 could have one thing for you.
This is a listing of upcoming bikes, a few of which haven’t been utterly revealed but. While we make each try to confirm information and again up any hypothesis, the data offered under is probably not totally correct or could change earlier than a automobile’s launch. We will make each effort to replace this content material with new developments as they come up.

A late-2023 spy shot confirmed what seems to be the engine and body of the 400cc fashions, with a Speed Triple 1200 RR-style bikini fairing. Could this be a Speed 400 RR café racer or even gain the Thruxton name?
All the 400 vary is being inbuilt India, due to a tie-up between Triumph and Bajaj and it’s laborious to see something apart from large gross sales for Triumph in that territory, given the scale of the small-displacement motorbike market. But it’s additionally going to promote nicely in each different nation during which it’s out there as a result of, by all experiences, it shares all the standard Triumph qualities: efficiency, dealing with, and superior high quality.

8MV Agusta 921 S
Full retro mannequin referencing the 750S from the Seventies
MV Agusta
What is a producer with out a retro mannequin in its vary lately, if not behind the curve and gifting away gross sales to rivals? MV Agusta is likely one of the most storied names in motorcycling and, if the racing successes of the Nineteen Fifties, ‘60s, and ‘70s are now well in the past, this rather lovely concept shows that the company hasn’t forgotten about its heritage.

Return of the diminutive supersports mannequin
Honda
It seems that rumors of the 600cc sports activities bike class’s demise have been severely exaggerated. For a few many years, the child siblings of the liter-superbike class supplied simply as a lot dynamism and uncooked efficiency in tiny packages as their larger brothers. But the category has seemed decidedly sickly lately as gross sales of sports activities bikes have fallen by way of the ground.
This makes it all of the extra shocking that Honda has chosen to bring back its middleweight sports bike in largely unaltered form. Is a 600cc, inline four-cylinder screamer with a slim energy band and uncompromising using place one thing that can fly off the showroom flooring, or has that boat sailed? Honda clearly thinks not, and it has thrown the digital rider-assistance characteristic ebook on the CBR600RR to carry it proper updated. Bear in thoughts, the Japanese bikemaker has already announced the old 600RR in America, however we might see the brand new model come right here by finish of this 12 months.

Markus Berger through KTM
Who didn’t see this one coming? KTM has been a severe participant within the middleweight bare sports activities and journey bike courses for a very long time now, and it was inconceivable the 990 Duke could be the one software for the brand new 947cc parallel-twin engine. KTM made its title with off-road bikes earlier than it turned its consideration to road bikes and the arrival of the 990 Adventure in 2024 comes as no surprise. Will it substitute the prevailing 790 and 890 Adventure fashions? That is merely conjecture for the time being, as certainly is the potential existence of a 990 Adventure mannequin. But it will be a courageous one that would guess in opposition to it, given KTM’s previous type. If it does seem, it must be the right mixture of efficiency, functionality, dimension, and agility.
Replacement for 890 Duke closes the hole to the 1290 Super Duke.

But all that could be about to alter as KTM seems to see the perfect return on its funding within the new 990 engine. Despite spy shots having shown the existence of faired RC prototypes, nothing has been formally introduced. All that may be about to alter with the arrival of the 990 platform, which might lend itself properly to a faired sports activities bike.

OK, so we’re into full conjecture mode right here, however maybe if we want laborious sufficient, it’d occur!

Munich. A rule of thumb in bobsleigh is that success is one-third begin time, one-third tools, and one-third efficiency on the steering pulley. When pushing off, it’s the athletic prowess of the athletes that’s key, however as in observe and area, footwear additionally impacts having the ability to generate most acceleration. Yet, whereas there are lots of several types of spiked footwear tailor-made to the necessities of various disciplines and private preferences obtainable for high-performance sport on the tartan observe, comparable merchandise for the ice channel have lengthy been missing.
As know-how associate of the German Bobsleigh, Luge, and Skeleton Federation (BSD), BMW Group is dedicated to altering this – and utilizing 3D printing processes from automotive improvement and manufacturing, additionally they have the right methodology and the required experience to implement the challenge.
Defined rows of nails are completely connected to the toe space of the soles of convential bobsleigh footwear; these nails can’t be changed or moved, that means that when the nails have worn out, the shoe is destined for the garbage heap. The resolution that BMW and the BSD are engaged on relies on observe and area footwear, for which threads for screw spikes are used to connect spike plates on which the spike nails can largely be distributed with out restriction. This combines a number of benefits. There is a big choice of shoe types, so athletes can use a shoe that fits their particular person wants. The materials and geometry of the plate, in addition to the location of the spike nails, can be utilized to fluctuate the rigidity and, above all, the facility transmission to the ice. With respect to particular person operating types in addition to the completely different operating paths that the assorted positions entail, particularly in a 4-man bobsleigh, this ensures higher acceleration than normal spikes may ever make doable.
In apply, which means customised spike plates should be designed and effectively manufactured for every athlete, a activity with which the BMW Group Additive Manufacturing Center may be very acquainted. Here, plastics and metals are used to provide numerous parts with out the necessity for instruments or moulds. “We have been using 3D printing to make components for prototypes, customised one-offs, as well as for series production for more than 30 years,” stated Claudia Rackl, BMW Group Additive Manufacturing Projects & Qualification. “The major advantages of 3D printing are the time and cost savings as well as a high degree of flexibility. This allows us to quickly manufacture, test and efficiently optimise different variants.”
BMW Group engineers have transferred this experience from automotive engineering on to bobsleigh. The geometry of the spike plates is developed utilizing software program and routinely aligned with the topography of the person footwear, which was recorded by a 3D scanner. The spike plates are then printed by a laser welding the corresponding metallic powder collectively layer by layer.
Various alloys and geometrics are presently being examined and refined till the optimum result’s discovered – similar to in automotive analysis and improvement. Once the perfect fundamental parameters have been decided, the software program can routinely adapt the design of the spike plate to any kind of shoe, any shoe dimension, and any variety of attachment factors on the only of the shoe. It will even be doable to provide particular spike plates for the person necessities of athletes and even for various climate and ice situations.
“We tested the spike plates in the World Cup and received a lot of positive feedback from the athletes,” stated bobsleigh head coach René Spies. “Nevertheless, a few tweaks are still necessary here and there, but we expect to have the perfect shoes to compete in by the 2026 Olympic Winter Games at the latest.”
This would then create the perfect situations for the primary third on the street to success, the optimum begin time.

Then John Boyd Dunlop invented the pneumatic tire, which is stuffed with air — these air-filled tires made rides a lot smoother and shortly grew to become in style.
During World War II, there was a scarcity of rubber. So, corporations used completely different supplies like plant fibers and artificial rubber. After the warfare, they went again to utilizing common rubber, however using artificial rubber began rising. In 1931, a turning level got here with DuPont’s profitable industrialization of artificial rubber. This made it simpler to supply extra and higher tires. Around the identical time, the balloon tire additionally got here out. It was a low-pressure tire with higher contact with the street, making it smoother.
In the Seventies, run-flat tires had been launched. These tires may nonetheless be pushed for a brief distance even after getting a puncture, they usually had been launched with a rising curiosity in supplies that might provide reliability in several circumstances. Today, you might have tire corporations making tires which might be higher for the planet as effectively. An excellent instance is corporations like Hankook creating airless tires, or NPTs (Non-Pneumatic Tires), utilizing uni-materials which might be extra energy-efficient in manufacturing and recyclable.
