Appropriately, this month featured members who are hot on the trail to becoming that new icon--by advancing hydrogen storage for the ultimate clean vehicle, electric battery pack charging speeds and cycle times for the here and now EV which is taking China by storm and cyber security for all connected vehicles and smart cities. And, in the New Mobility, all eyes are being set on CES in Las Vegas and the NAIAS in Detroit in January to see the future.
