🌿 Ahead of Its Time: Henry Ford’s Hemp Car 🌿 Did you know that in 1941, Henry Ford built a car using plant-based composites and powered it with bioethanol? As someone fascinated by the potential of composites, especially in industries like motorsports and aerospace, this blows my mind. The Hemp Car wasn’t just about making a car—it was about rethinking materials and sustainability long before it was a trend. For me, it’s a reminder that innovation isn’t just about pushing performance boundaries; it’s about finding smarter, more responsible ways to build the future.

What would life be like without art? Art isn’t confined to galleries—it’s something I strive to infuse into everything we create at DAB Motors, every single day. I believe motorcycles can be more than just machines; they can be works of art that move both the body and the soul. Each motorcycles we build is a unique, artistic expression that blends cutting-edge technology with bold design, redefining what motorcycles can be. My goal is to ensure that every ride we create doesn’t just transport people, but inspires them. . . . #tech #innovation #frenchtech #greentech #electric #mobility #motorcycle #automotive #electricmotorcycle #madeinfrance #electriccars #motorcycle #mobilitysolutions #ev #transportation #electricvehicles #dabmotors #dirtbike #supermoto #scrambler #engineering #design #vehicule #sustainable #city

Alpine’s exhibition of its Alpenglow prototype at the Spa 6 Hours endurance race demonstrated that the jury is far from out on the subject of alternative propulsion. As did the announcement shortly after from Mazda, Subaru and Toyota that they had together committed to designing new compact combustion engines with integrated electric drive units and compatible with carbon-neutral fuels and hydrogen. However gripped the world is by BEV technology, we’re still in the early stages of a transition away from fossil fuels, around which the entire global economy has been based for well over 100 years. https://lnkd.in/eB5qB5z4 #qubeautomotive #automotive #hydrogen #alpenglow #fuel #cars
