Renault accelerates EV’s amid EU spike in greener sales
French automobile manufacturer Renault is accelerating its electric vehicle strategy.
It’s announced plans to launch 10 new battery-electric vehicles by 2025
The EU has seen a spike in electric vehicle sales as Europe’s climate focus intensifies.
A new report details that one in every nine cars sold in the EU is now an EV.
Despite COVID lockdowns, restrictions, and a global chip shortage, analysts say there is still plenty of demand.
The uptick in electric car sales caused a 12% drop in average CO2 emissions of new cars sold in Europe last year, compared within 2019, reversing a trend that had seen such emissions increase for three consecutive years.
It was the biggest annual drop in such emissions since the EU introduced its car CO2 standards in 2010.
Of the 11.6 million new cars registered in the EU, Iceland, Norway, and Britain last year, 11% were fully electric or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, according to the provisional data.
New regulation
Tougher CO2 targets for automakers officially came into force last year.
The new regulation pushed carmakers to curb their fleet-wide emissions by selling more low-emission vehicles, buy credits from other carmakers that overachieved their targets, or face fines. The EEA did not confirm which carmakers met their targets.
Countries including France and Germany also included electric vehicle subsidies in COVID-19 economic recovery packages last year.

SpaceX shifts focus to Moon with ambitious Lunar City plans
Elon Musk shifts SpaceX focus from Mars to a 2027 Moon landing, merging with xAI for AI satellite networks.
Elon Musk shifts SpaceX focus from Mars to a 2027 Moon landing, merging with xAI for AI satellite networks.
Elon Musk has set his sights closer to home—literally. SpaceX is now prioritizing the creation of a self-sustaining city on the Moon within the next decade. The ambitious plan marks a major shift from previous Mars-focused strategies, aiming for an uncrewed Starship landing as early as 2027 to support NASA’s Artemis program.
This pivot comes as SpaceX merges with Musk’s xAI, combining the companies into a massive $1.25 trillion valuation. Musk believes the Moon offers practical advantages for launches, making it a more strategic stepping stone for humanity’s future in space.
Alongside lunar ambitions, SpaceX is also developing satellite networks to back AI technologies in orbit. Despite the excitement, NASA’s Artemis program has faced delays, pushing the first crewed lunar flight to March due to technical issues.

Claude AI is transforming software engineering and productivity
Anthropic’s Claude AI now manages coding tasks, boosting productivity by 50% as engineers shift to oversight roles.
Anthropic’s Claude AI now manages coding tasks, boosting productivity by 50% as engineers shift to oversight roles.
Anthropic has confirmed that its AI, Claude, now handles almost all coding tasks at the company. Engineers are shifting from writing code to oversight and planning, marking a major change in how software development teams operate.
Users report a productivity boost of 50 percent since implementing Claude, highlighting the potential of AI to reshape workflows and day-to-day operations. The shift raises questions about the balance between human oversight and automated code generation.
The move has also affected markets, with shares of Indian IT services companies falling as investors assess the impact on traditional tech roles. Industry leaders stress that while AI can generate code, human input remains crucial for design, review, and strategic decision-making.
