Weichai Power Launches Singapore's First 100% Biodiesel Research Harbour Ship
Jointly developed by Weichai, the China Classification Society (Singapore), Nanyang Technological University's Marine Energy and Sustainable Development Centre (MESD), and Pinnacle Marine, the launch marks the start of full-scale operational testing for B100 marine fuel in real-world conditions.
Built by local shipyard Pinnacle Marine, President 100 will undergo a 1,000-hour continuous trial in Singapore's port waters. The trial aims to assess B100's long-term performance, emissions, and reliability — providing critical data for the development of future refueling, storage, and operational standards.
As one of the key clean-energy solutions in maritime decarbonization, B100 biodiesel offers an immediate pathway toward net-zero operations. Weichai's high-efficiency marine power systems optimized for B100 not only reduce emissions, but also set a benchmark for the global shipping industry's green transformation.
This project is expected to serve as a reference model for Singapore's maritime energy transition and contribute to establishing industry-wide standards for biodiesel-powered vessels.

Guidehouse Research Explores Evolving Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing Technology Market
eVTOLs are on the verge of full commercial manufacturing and approval BOULDER, Colo., July 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A new report from Guidehouse Research explores electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) technology, industry players, and proposed business models for rolling out eVTOLs. Now that EVs are being fully rolled out on the ground, developers are looking at other transformations for moving people around. With technological advances increasing every year, eVTOLs are on the verge of full commercial manufacturing and approval, but are flying-car services really on the horizon? According to a new report from Guidehouse Research, with the imminent certification and commercialization of eVTOL vehicles fueling the idea of cars flying over traffic, market watchers can be forgiven for believing that all traffic problems have been solved, and congestion will never be a problem again. 'Many manufacturers of these aircrafts are attempting to speed up their commercial development by launching them as part of a larger air ride-hailing service, like an 'Uber in the sky,'' says Jake Foose, research analyst with Guidehouse Research. 'Whether or not the market is ready for that service to roll out is one issue, but another is whether the vehicles themselves are ready for a flight hailing service.' According to the report, Guidehouse Research suggests: The current eVTOL target business model is unrealistic and shows few signs of applicability to a larger market. After the initial rollout, eVTOL operators should not focus on flight-hailing services. Battery swapping technology could be developed to alleviate charging infrastructure issues that might arise while operating eVTOLs as passenger aircraft. The report, Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing Vehicle Services Create Fewer Advantages Than Initially Thought, reviews current eVTOL technology, industry players, and proposed business models for rolling out eVTOL. Guidehouse Research provides detailed and actionable recommendations for eVTOL manufacturers, both for short-term business models and for technology developments that could assist overall market share. An executive summary of the report is available for free download on the Guidehouse Research website.
