One of HS2’s complex engineering challenges has been overcome.

Synthetic motor oil is not usually the kind of product that attracts headlines. For most drivers, it is simply part of routine maintenance — something changed during a service and largely forgotten about afterwards. But growing concerns over supply issues are now putting synthetic oil firmly in the spotlight, as reports of shortages and early rationing measures begin to emerge. And for many people, it is coming as a surprise. Unlike fuel shortages or rising petrol prices, syn

New cooling technology promises 10-minute EV charging.

The British construction giant is chasing a blistering new milestone.

The "Tipping Point East" project is salvaging London construction waste to rescue materials from destruction.

We are officially witnessing the end of an automotive era.

A massive legal drama is serving as a stark reminder of where data privacy lines must be drawn.

Ferrari is opening the door to buyers who may never have considered the brand before.

A shocking new report shows that thousands of learners are cutting corners.

A massive workplace dispute culminated in a South Wales courtroom this week after a local man was sentenced to 40 months in prison for a highly destructive village rampage. The 35-year-old individual, reportedly flying into a rage following the dispute, went to a nearby family farm and stole a heavy, vintage bulldozer. He then sent a text message to the landlord of the New Inn pub in the usually quiet village of Rhigos, warning him to "be careful" because he was about to turn

A man fed up with Britain’s pothole problem has found a very unusual way to make his point—by treating them like gold mines. Tired of navigating a particularly deep pothole that had repeatedly damaged the tracking of local delivery vans and commuter vehicles, the individual donned a high-visibility jacket, grabbed a traditional sieve, and began staging mock "gold panning" sessions inside the water-filled crater. By pretending to search for gold, the protester is exaggerating

It’s the kind of mistake that sounds too ridiculous to be real—but for one unlucky motorist it quickly became a very solid problem. After parking their car in what seemed like a perfectly normal spot, they returned to find it… stuck. Not blocked in. Not clamped. Stuck in concrete. Whether there was missing signage, unclear barriers, or just a moment of confusion, the motorist ended up parking directly onto freshly laid concrete—likely thinking it was just a damp or newly clea

It probably seemed like a clever solution at the time. Too much to fit inside the vehicle? No problem. Just strap it to the roof, tighten everything down, and be on your way. What could possibly go wrong? As it turns out… quite a lot. A commercial driver in Hertfordshire gave local highway patrol officers one of the most clear-cut unsecured load citations of the year. Dashcam and highway monitoring footage went viral after police intercepted an electric vehicle navigating a b

It sounds like something out of a Jurassic comedy sketch — a UK council approving dinosaurs after they’ve already arrived. But that’s exactly what happened this week, when a local authority granted retrospective planning permission to a theme park for a batch of animatronic dinosaurs already installed on site. Behind the headlines, though, this unusual story highlights a serious and often misunderstood issue: what happens when businesses build first and ask for permission lat

Residents in London recently found themselves dealing with an unexpected late-night disturbance — not from rowdy crowds or roadworks, but from driverless cars. In the early hours, a fleet of autonomous vehicles reportedly gathered in a local area and began making repeated noise, waking residents who were caught off guard by what many described as a strange and frustrating situation. While the technology behind self-driving cars continues to advance, incidents like this are hi

Most of us step into a lift without giving it a second thought. We check the floor number, maybe glance at the maximum capacity sign, and carry on with our day. But a growing debate suggests that those small metal signs — many based on decades-old assumptions — could actually be out of date, and in some cases, misleading. According to industry experts, a rule that dates back to the 1970s may mean some UK lifts are no longer operating as safely as people think. Every lift disp

It might sound like something from a sci‑fi film, but “bionic suits” — also known as exoskeletons — are quickly becoming a serious talking point across the construction industry. And according to industry experts, they may soon follow the same path as the hard hat: starting as an optional piece of kit before becoming a standard safety requirement on site. Construction has always evolved when it comes to safety. Hard hats, hi-vis clothing, and protective footwear were once new

It’s not every day a construction job turns into an archaeological dig. But that’s exactly what happened in Northern England this week, when workers unearthed an 8.5‑foot cast iron cannon buried beneath the ground. At first glance, it didn’t feel like a historic discovery — it felt like a potential disaster. When construction worker Jon Jacobs hit something solid while digging, his first instinct wasn’t excitement — it was concern. He feared he had uncovered an unexploded Wor

Tyres are easy to overlook — until something goes wrong. For fleet operators, they’re one of the biggest hidden risks on the road. A worn tread, slow puncture or underinflated tyre can quickly lead to breakdowns, delays or even serious accidents. But that’s starting to change. A new wave of “smart tyre” technology is bringing real-time data, AI and even unexpected innovations (including tech borrowed from other industries) into a component most people never think about. And i

The Jaecoo 7, a Chinese-built SUV with a surprisingly low price tag, has quickly become one of the most talked-about vehicles in the market. Nicknamed by some as the “Temu Range Rover”, it’s winning attention for one simple reason: it looks premium, but costs far less. Take one glance at the Jaecoo 7 and it’s easy to see where the comparisons come from. Its styling has clear similarities to models like the Range Rover Evoque, with bold lines, sleek lighting and a strong road
