Largest final assembly of shipping in Northern China. Huge welding robots now reduced # of workers by half while doubling the workload. Delivery time for special welding wire was shortened from 6 months to 7 after switching to domestic supplier + significantly cheaper. Now, a new ship launches every 30 days. Both h/w & s/w continue to improve. The shipyards continue to improve in everything to improve production flow & replacing w/ domestic suppliers (including software). All of this has not only cut cost & increased supply line security, but also sped up delivery time & iteration time.

NEWS: Ford has announced that its upcoming ~$30,000 mid-size electric truck will have 48v architecture and have 15% more aerodynamic efficiency than any other pickup truck on the market today. EV truck info: • LFP battery (prismatic). Structural battery, a first for Ford. LFP Battery made in Michigan. • New regen-braking design that saves $100 in battery cost. • Ford says "if the same battery was married to the aerodynamics of the most aerodynamically efficient mid-size gas truck in the U.S., we believe our new electric truck would have nearly 50 miles or 15% more driving range. And a 30% improvement at highway speeds." • Truck uses unicastings (gigacastings) • Reduces parts by 20% versus a typical vehicle, with 25% fewer fasteners, 40% fewer workstations dock-to dock in the plant & 15% faster assembly time. • Side mirror body size is 20% smaller than a conventional mirror, adding ~1.5 miles of range. • New tire wake design: "We guided the front tire wake directly toward the rear tires, effectively "hiding" the rear wheels." This adds 4.5 miles of range. • Wiring harness is more than 4,000 feet (1.3 kilometers) shorter and 22lbs kilograms lighter than the one used in their first-gen electric SUV. • The new midsize truck is forecasted to have more passenger room than the latest Toyota RAV4, even before you include the frunk and the truck bed. • The new midsize truck will have a targeted 0-60 time of 4.5s. • Completely redesigned EV architecture • Deliveries start in the U.S. in 2027 with a target starting MSRP of $30,000. Ford: "If we succeed, we will have a family of vehicles that we expect to compete on price with the best in the world, including gas vehicles. We used a Formula 1-inspired development cycle to develop this vehicle. We shifted our focus toward a "fail fast, learn faster" mentality."

A 60kW Hybrid aero-engine by 天府轻动 had maiden flight in 2025/12. Similar to EREV, turbine does not directly propel the aircraft, but uses generator to charge battery -> electric duct fan provide the thrust for flight. AECC has showcased larger MW class hybrid propulsion in 2025, so expect this more efficient propulsion system to continue to scale up.

NEWS: Ford has officially unveiled its new electric vehicle platform and its next-generation vehicle production system. Ford Universal EV Platform Details: • Reduces parts by 20% versus a typical vehicle, with 25% fewer fasteners, 40% fewer workstations dock-to-dock in the plant and 15% faster assembly time. • Ford says "Lower cost of ownership over five years than a three-year-old used Tesla Model Y." • Wiring harness in the new midsize truck; more than 4,000 feet (1.3 kilometers) shorter and 10 kilograms lighter than the one used in our first-gen electric SUV • Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) prismatic batteries enable space and weight and cost savings. It's a structural sub-assembly that also serves as the vehicle’s floor • The new midsize truck is forecasted to have more passenger room than the latest Toyota RAV4, even before you include the frunk and the truck bed. You can lock your surfboards or other gear in that bed – no roof rack or trailer hitch racks required • The new midsize truck will have a targeted 0-60 time as fast as a Mustang EcoBoost, with more downforce. Ford Universal EV Production System Details: • Transforming the traditional assembly line into an “assembly tree”. Instead of one long conveyor, three sub-assemblies run down their own lines simultaneously and then join together • Large single-piece aluminum unicastings replace dozens of smaller parts, enabling the front and rear of the vehicle to be assembled separately. • The front and rear are then combined with the third sub-assembly, the structural battery, which is independently assembled with seats, consoles and carpeting, to form the vehicle. • Parts travel down the assembly tree to operators in a kit. Within that kit, all fasteners, scanners and power tools required for the job are included. • Assembly of the new midsize electric truck could be up to 40% faster than Louisville Assembly Plant’s current vehicles. Some of that time will be reinvested into insourcing and automation to improve quality and cost, ultimately netting a 15% speed improvement. Ford: "A simple, efficient, flexible ecosystem to deliver a family of affordable, electric, software-defined vehicles – the first of which is a midsize, four-door electric pickup that will be assembled at Ford’s Louisville Assembly Plant for U.S. and export markets. Its launch is scheduled for 2027. It will have a target starting MSRP at about $30,000 USD." Ford says it is going to deliver a family of affordable, adaptable electric vehicles that offer multiple body styles for work and play — including for export — and whose LFP batteries will be assembled in America, not imported from China. Additional specifications for the midsize electric truck – including reveal date, starting price, EPA-estimated battery range, battery sizes and charge times – will be communicated later. Ford’s $2B investment in their Louisville Assembly Plant is in addition to its previously announced $3 billion investment in BlueOval Battery Park Michigan, which will build the prismatic LFP batteries for the midsize electric truck starting next year. Together, the investments total approximately $5 billion, and between the two plants, Ford expects to create or secure nearly 4,000 direct jobs.

Elon Musk just said something that should wake up every person in America. Musk: “It seems like China listens to everything I say and does it, basically.” For over a decade, Musk laid out the exact blueprint for the physical infrastructure required to power the next era of human civilization. Massive solar generation. Industrial-scale battery storage. Electric everything. He said it here. Publicly. Repeatedly. America debated it. China built it. Musk: “They’re certainly making massive battery packs. Really massive battery pack output. Vast numbers of electric cars. Vast amounts of solar.” This isn’t a technology gap. It isn’t an intelligence gap. It isn’t a vision gap. It’s a will gap. The blueprint has been public for years. Not classified. Not hidden. Not proprietary. Musk published it in interviews, in speeches, in the founding mission of every company he built. China read it. Declared it a national mandate. And mobilized an entire industrial economy to execute it. Musk: “These are all things I said we should do here.” Here. America. The country that produced the man who wrote the blueprint and then watched someone else build it. The AI arms race runs on power. Not ideas. Not funding. Not talent. Physical energy. Gigawatts of it. The kind measured in years of construction before a single model trains on it. You cannot debate your way to a power grid. You cannot committee your way to a battery factory. You cannot regulate your way to energy dominance while a competitor is already running the lines. Every year of delay is a year of advantage that compounds on the other side of the world. And the thing nobody wants to say out loud. The nation that controls the energy controls the AI. The nation that controls the AI controls the century. We wrote the blueprint. We produced the vision. We had every advantage a country could ask for. And we are watching someone else build our future in real time. The window doesn’t stay open forever. It’s closing right now. While you read this.

- AssetHub officially launched - Using Metahuman Component as parts system in UEFN This is crazy! Just discovered I can use the Metahuman Component in UEFN as a general parts system! Perfect for modular characters. So I had to test it out. First step: character design. With GPT Image 2 I got some really solid characters to work with. These are perfect to test anime/ lowpoly models as well. Gavin Harvey also officially launched so I jumped on a fresh workflow to build the first one. Since I’m aiming for an anime/flat shaded style, I chose Tripo P1 to generate straight to low poly models. Results were perfect for me, UV and textured directly done. Did the main assembly in Blender. I transferred weights onto the new parts (like the jacket here) and used proportional editing to tweak vertices so everything fits together nicely. Then into UEFN / Unreal Engine: For the two-tone shadow look, I made a material that uses the sun direction as a mask. To make all the modular parts work together, I set up a blueprint with the body skeletal mesh as the base, and all the other parts attached as children. Now the really cool part: the Metahuman Component actually lets you plug in extra body parts directly. And every skeletal mesh can have its own Control Rig slot. That means you can layer procedural animations on top of your main animation setup. I used it for procedural eye blinking and hair physics. Since every part is separate, swapping variations is super easy while keeping all animations perfectly synced!
