Clean, congestion-free air travel gets liftoff

Passenger eVTOL Aircraft

California-based Archer Aviation Inc focuses on designing and developing electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft with the goal of making air travel more accessible, sustainable, and efficient. Archer leverages its proprietary data modeling technology, Prime Radiant, to determine optimal trip locations, cost, and customer experience, enabling the company to build aerial rideshare technology that will transform how people move in and around cities. Archer is committed to sustainability, and, as of May 2023, was working to create an aircraft that is not only electric but also has a carbon-neutral manufacturing process.Archer intends to operate two complementary lines of business. Its core focus is “Archer UAM,” a direct-to-consumer service, where the company will operate its own UAM ecosystem in major US cities, such as Los Angeles and Miami. Its secondary focus is “Archer Direct,” which is a business-to-business model, where the company will sell a certain amount of its eVTOL aircraft to third parties.In <a href="https://www.archer.com/news/archer-unveils-its-production-aircraft-midnight">November 2022 </a>, Archer unveiled its production aircraft, Midnight, which represents the evolution of the company's demonstrator eVTOL aircraft, the Maker. The Maker has validated Archer's proprietary twelve-tilt-six configuration and key enabling technologies. The Midnight is optimized for back-to-back short-distance trips of around 20 miles, with a charging time of approximately 10 minutes in between. The aircraft can carry four passengers and a pilot. As of March 2023, Archer was targeting to begin flight testing of this aircraft in mid-2023 and was working on certifying the Midnight with the FAA by late 2024. The company had plans to incorporate the aircraft into its UAM network, which was slated for launch in 2025, once certified. The company claims that the Midnight is almost 1,000x quieter than a helicopter and has no single critical point of failure, meaning that it can safely complete its flight even if any single component fails.In&nbsp;<a href="https://sp-edge.com/updates/30192">June 2024</a>, Archer received the FAA’s Part 135 Air Carrier &amp; Operator certification, which would allow it to commence operating aircraft commercially. In the same month it also completed its&nbsp;<a href="https://sp-edge.com/updates/30382">first transition</a> flight of its unmanned Midnight prototype, traveling at over 100mph. In&nbsp;<a href="https://sp-edge.com/updates/33200">September 2024</a>, Archer announced that it has completed 402 flight tests, four months ahead of its 2024 schedule and that it is ready to begin the “for-credit” certification testing with the FAA in 2024.In&nbsp;<a href="https://sp-edge.com/updates/31653">July 2024</a>, Archer received authorization from the California Alternative Energy and Advanced Transportation Financing Authority (CAEATFA) for its planned expansion facilities in California.

 Stellantis, a multinational automotive manufacturer from Netherlands, has collaborated with TotalEnergies Lubrifiants, a subsidiary of French energy multinational Total Energies, to introduce Quartz EV3R 10W-40, a high-quality regenerated oil touted as the first of its kind in Europe. Its performance is reportedly on par with lubricants produced from virgin oils.
 Quartz EV3R 10W-40 lubricant is made up entirely of regenerated base oils and fulfils the performance requirements of numerous car manufacturers. The properties of the product include a reduction of wear and tear by up to 46% in comparison to industry standards, a boost in piston cleanliness by up to 20%, and compatibility with both gasoline and diesel engines. The product's carbon footprint is claimed to be half that of virgin sources during production, and its packaging, which is made of 50% recycled plastic, is completely recyclable.
 
</div> Analyst QuickTake: 
 The product is the first launch under Stellantis’ SUSTAINera RECYCLE product range, which is the company’s initiative to incorporate circular solutions to all possible aspects of its motor vehicles including production and maintenance scraps as well as end-of-life vehicles. The initiative, which was launched in June 2024, is part of the company’s decarbonization strategies, aimed at achieving carbon net-zero by 2038.
