Acerca de esta escucha
The 2020s are ushering in a wave of new travel vehicles. New cars, planes, trains, bikes, and more are being invented, and they are unlike any form of travel in the past. The vehicles are electric, green, autonomous, some solar and hydrogen-powered, and loaded with intelligent technologies. The vehicles and their breakthrough capabilities offer exciting new travel opportunities for all of us. Big Travel Breakthroughs 2020s delivers the top new vehicles, prototypes, and concept vehicles rolling out during this decade.
As a journalist, I’ve spotlighted the big travel breakthroughs and megatrends, for instance, the game-changing Rolls Royce and Virgin Galactic partnership to develop a next-generation supersonic jet (SST), capable of travelling from NYC to London in two hours. From the Netherlands, I’ve profiled the world’s first long-range solar-powered car that will be on the road in 2021. Also in my book are profiles on the best new eVTOL flying cars and flying taxis, including the Dutch-invented PAL-V, which is ready for takeoff. Megatrends explored in the book include the dramatic global rise in the use of electric bikes and electric trikes, and the rapidly expanding lineup of new electric cars. I’ve also detailed some very hot, exotic new travel vehicles, such as a solar luxury pod to sail the ocean, a combination motorcycle-jet ski, hyperloops, personal aerial mobility jet packs, and much more.
If you want to be in the know on the most exciting and fun travel vehicles for the 2020s, Big Travel Breakthroughs 2020s is the book for you.

A master storyteller as well as a leading energy expert, Daniel Yergin continues the riveting story begun in his Pulitzer Prize–winning book, The Prize. In The Quest, Yergin shows us how energy is an engine of global political and economic change and conflict, in a story that spans the energies on which our civilization has been built and the new energies that are competing to replace them. The Quest tells the inside stories, tackles the tough questions, and reveals surprising insights about coal, electricity, and natural gas.

How can great companies do everything right - identify real customer needs, deliver excellent innovations, beat their competitors to market - and still fail? The sad truth is that many companies fail because they focus too intensely on their own innovations, and then neglect the innovation ecosystems on which their success depends. In our increasingly interdependent world, winning requires more than just delivering on your own promises. It means ensuring that a host of partners - some visible, some hidden - deliver on their promises, too.

Solar energy, once a niche application for a limited market, has become the cheapest and fastest-growing power source on earth. What's more, its potential is nearly limitless. But in Taming the Sun, energy expert Varun Sivaram warns that the world is not yet equipped to harness erratic sunshine to meet most of its energy needs. And if solar's current surge peters out, prospects for replacing fossil fuels and averting catastrophic climate change will dim.
