When people talk about eVTOL aircraft, the first image that usually comes to mind is an air taxi carrying passengers across a city. But China’s emerging commercialization path may look very different. The first large-scale eVTOL market may not be passenger transport. It may be: Cargo. And if cargo eVTOL becomes the first commercially mature…

September 1, 2026 is about to become an important date for China’s battery industry. From that day, lithium-ion batteries and several other battery categories will begin paying a 2% consumption tax, with the rate scheduled to increase to 4% from September 1, 2027. At first glance, the policy sounds straightforward: Battery manufacturers pay another 2%….

For many companies importing products into Europe, packaging compliance still sounds like a simple question: “Which factory made the packaging?” Under the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), that may be the wrong question. The more important questions are: Who commissioned the packaging? Under whose name or trademark is it placed on the EU…

The Sky Is the New Delivery Lane: Why Uber + Zipline Could Change Last-Mile Logistics Forever For decades, the last mile of delivery has been constrained by one simple physical reality: Most things still have to travel on roads. In the United States, there are approximately 5.5 billion home deliveries every year, and most rely…

For years, the drone industry has focused heavily on one question: How can we make drones fly longer? The answer traditionally meant bigger batteries, higher energy density, more efficient motors, lighter airframes and better aerodynamics. But a new paradigm is emerging. Instead of asking a drone to fly farther on a single battery, the industry…

When selecting a payload for an industrial drone, one of the easiest mistakes is comparing only two numbers: Maximum payload capacity vs. payload weight. If a drone is rated to carry 5 kg and your equipment weighs exactly 5 kg, it may seem reasonable to assume that the mission is feasible. But in real engineering,…

China’s low-altitude economy is entering a new stage. For years, the industry conversation focused mainly on aircraft manufacturers: who could build the best drone, who could certify the first eVTOL, who could achieve the longest range, and who could raise the most capital. Now, another type of player is arriving. Mobility platforms. The establishment of…

China’s solid-state battery industry is entering a new phase. The competition is no longer limited to laboratory breakthroughs, pilot lines, energy-density records, or prototype vehicle demonstrations. It is now moving into the capital markets. Two of China’s most prominent solid-state battery unicorns — WeLion New Energy and QingTao Energy — are both accelerating toward public-market…
