Polestar O₂ is also proving to be progressive in terms of sustainability and technology. A new thermoplastic monomaterial characterizes the interior on a large scale. The term "monomaterial" describes the use of a single base material for the production of various components. In the Polestar O₂, recycled polyester is the only material used for all soft components of the interior: Foam, adhesive, 3D knitted fibers and nonwoven lamination. This simplifies recycling and is a significant step toward the circular economy, while reducing weight and waste. Polestar's sustainability teams believe materials should be recycled and refrain from downcycling. In the Polestar O₂, they have incorporated a new method to control the recycled content and improve the recyclability of metal components. Different types of aluminum are used throughout the chassis to provide an exciting driving experience. The different materials are labeled so they can be recycled more effectively and retain their properties. High-grade aluminum as well as other grades retain their different properties, resulting in greater material efficiency and a reduced need for new aluminum.

After an absence of 41yrs, the Honda DAX is set to finally return to Europe, joining the Monkey and the MSX125 Grom in Honda’s unique mini-bike line-up. With its iconic pressed steel T-shaped frame, no other motorcycle, big or small, cuts the same shape as the Dax. The frame, which extends from under the seat to the chrome handlebars, is reminiscent of a Dachshund with its short legs and long body, which led to the naming of the original ST50 Dax in 1969. The 23YM Dax keeps the unmistakeable, iconic look of the original, with the frame (which also houses the fuel tank) providing plenty of strength for two up riding. Suspension is taken care of by 31mm USD forks matched to twin rear shocks. Completing the classic look, these are paired to blacked out 12in mini-bike wheels, complete with fat, balloon-like tyres which allow effortless around-town agility. Lighting is full LED and the Dax features a striking, compact negative LCD display, chrome handlebars and pillion grab rail.
Automobili Lamborghini unveils the Countach LPI 800-4: a futuristic limited edition paying homage to the Countach’s iconic status as a revolutionary design and technology rule-breaker and recreated for the 21st century. Its puristic lines are immediately recognizable from the Countach legacy: the patriarch of modern super sports cars and Lamborghini design. With its aspirated V12 engine combined with Lamborghini’s hybrid supercapacitor technology, the Countach LPI 800-4 retains the inimitable V12 experience and sound from its Longitudinale Posteriore (LP) mounted powerplant combined with the hybrid (I) technology developed for the Sián. Delivering 814 cv as maximum combined power (rounded at 800 in the name) from its aspirated powerplant (780 cv) and electric motor (34 cv) to its permanent four-wheel drive transmission, the LPI 800-4 produces peak Lamborghini performance of 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 2.8 seconds, a 0-200 km/h in 8.6 seconds and a top speed of 355 km/h.
