Launched new app

Volvo Cars has been teasing the all-electric version of the XC40 SUV for a while now and the automaker has now dropped a new detail about the model that will be unveiled on October 16, 2019. The Volvo XC40 Electric will get an Android-based operating system for the new infotainment unit that is officially known as the 'Android Automotive OS' and has been specially developed for cars. The OS is a result of Volvo's parent company Geely's partnership with Google announced in May 2017, which makes the Swedish carmaker the first company to team with the tech giant for a completely integrated infotainment system inclusive of Google Assistant, Google Maps and Google Play Store built-in. The electric XC40 will be the first Volvo offering to get the new software and operating system that comes with over-the-air updates. This ensures that the system keeps evolving and improving over time, instead of being the newest when it first left the facility.

The basic structure of Morgan's existing steel chassis dates back 83 years. Things don't change quickly at the Morgan Motor Company, so the company adopting the new CX-Generation aluminum platform to replace its old steel chassis is a big deal. The lightweight underpinnings are already on the new Plus 6, and the transition for other models begins in 2020. To put this change into perspective, the basis for the steel chassis dates back to 1936 and is still underneath the 4/4, Plus 4, and V6 Roadster. Gallery: Morgan Motor Company CX-Generation aluminum platform 8 Photos "The CX-Generation aluminum platform represents a significant undertaking for a small company like Morgan.
