A GIANT DRILLING MACHINE MOVES STOCKHOLM TOWARD AN EMISSIONS-FREE FUTURE
在斯德哥尔摩计划于2040年实现无化石燃料目标的背景下,其老化的电力基础设施不再能满足快速增长的用电需求。因此,斯德哥尔摩正在挖掘一条大型隧道,为新电力线腾出空间,以便增加瑞典首都的供电。Stockholm’s aging electricity infrastructure has been unable to keep up with surging demand — especially as it moves toward becoming fossil-fuel free by 2040. So it’s drilling an enormous tunnel to make way for new powerlines that will help supply more electricity to the Swedish capital.一台名为“Elektra”的巨型钻机正在斯德哥尔摩地下约200英尺处进行隧道挖掘。它所建造的隧道将帮助斯德哥尔摩升级老化的电力基础设施,为绿色能源全面转型铺平道路。新电力线预计将于2028年完成建设,不仅将在一年中最寒冷的日子里保障电力供应,还可能最终实现斯德哥尔摩的全面绿色转型。A massive drilling machine named Elektra is tunneling beneath Stockholm, 200 feet below the streets. The tunnel it’s creating will allow the city to upgrade its aging electricity infrastructure, facilitating a complete transition to green energy. The new cables, expected to be completed in 2028, will not only keep power running on the coldest days of the year but could finally enable the city to fully go green.出行巨头Bolt引入Starship自动驾驶机器人进行食品配送MOBILITY GIANT BOLT ADOPTS SELF-DRIVING STARSHIP ROBOTS FOR FOOD DELIVERY
欧洲网约车公司Bolt正在与爱沙尼亚公司Starship Technologies合作,将使用自动驾驶机器人进行食品配送。Bolt计划在今年晚些时候,从其总部城市塔林开始,在多个国家部署数千台此类机器人。
European ride-hailing company Bolt is partnering with Estonian company Starship Technologies to use self-driving robots for food delivery. Bolt intends to deploy thousands of these robots across several countries, starting in Tallinn, its home city, later this year.
作为Uber的竞争对手,Bolt在欧洲、非洲、西亚和拉丁美洲拥有超过1亿用户。同时Starship则已在全球完成了500万次商业配送,成为首个达成这一里程碑的自动驾驶配送公司。
As a competitor to Uber, Bolt boasts over 100 million customers across Europe, Africa, West Asia, and Latin America. On the other hand, Starship has already accomplished 5 million commercial deliveries globally, making it the first autonomous delivery company to reach this milestone.
SEVEN PROJECTS TO RECLAIM NYC SPACE FROM CARS纽约市正在推行扩展疫情期间改善街道行人和自行车通行的计划。这些工作正由该市首位公共空间事务官Ya-Ting Liu针对每个区的优先项目进行规划。这些项目将使用3.75亿美元专项资金的一部分,以改善城市环境。项目内容包括在人流密集的街道上增设更多行人广场、拓宽人行道,以及扩展公共空间,比如布鲁克林大桥曼哈顿一侧的区域。New York City is implementing plans to expand its pandemic-era initiatives to improve pedestrian and bike accessibility on the streets. The city’s first public realm officer, Ya-Ting Liu, is overseeing the efforts, identifying priority projects in each borough. These projects will utilize a portion of the $375 million funding designated to enhance the city’s environment. They include creating additional pedestrian plazas on busy streets, wider sidewalks, and expanding public spaces, such as the area under the Manhattan side of the Brooklyn Bridge.此举目标是让城市变得“更清洁、更环保”,并为行人和骑行者提供更多空间。The goal is to make the city "cleaner and greener" and provide more space for pedestrians and cyclists.
