BMW is in search of new segments of the car market to fill them with their latest models. The company bet on expanding the line of crossovers. The Bavarian automaker is ready to release the smallest crossover, which will be smaller and more affordable at a price than the BMW X1.
While engineers are developing a new model, the marketing department is struggling with the naming problem. Now the names of crossovers consist of the letter X and a number indicating their place in the hierarchy of the model range. The smallest crossover is the X1. Can an even more compact model be called the X0? No, since 0 causes ambiguous associations. Decimals were also excluded. Therefore, the novelty is likely to receive the name, Urban X.

The "combine" located inside the tire and consists of two layers of rubber. It's covered with electrodes and a negatively charged shell, which interacts with a positively charged film. Electricity is collected during movement, during deformation during rotation.
The creators of the "energy harvester" believe that the received energy can be used to power the tire pressure monitoring system or any other automotive device.

Lightning discounts

The Pentagon’s largest contractor reported that it would be able to reduce the cost of producing its F-35A jet a year earlier than its intended date. The so-called F-35 program works to increase the fleet of fighters to more than 3 thousand units. The program is also aimed at reducing the price of the F-35A fighter to $80 million due to increased efficiency and with large orders. Reducing the cost of the F-35 a year ahead of time allowed the Pentagon to receive a discount of 8.8% on deliveries of 478 fighters for three years. In three years, the agreement will cost the US Department of Defense $34 billion. According to Deputy Secretary of Defense Ellen Lord, the agreement this year will reduce the cost of each F-35A from $89.2 million to $81.35 million.

In the coming years, Lockheed Martin is expected to produce...

Why did this situation come up? There are at least several roots. The first one, exchange figures, reflect only a part of the international gas trade and LNG. And the same Qatari, Australian LNG is supplied to Asian markets mainly with oil rate. June 20 futures set at 2.185 dollars per million British thermal units, which is on the most decreasing spot for the contract for the first month since 2016.
