ello and welcome to the February issue of Electrical Engineering magazine. After a brief snowstorm in the UK and a very cold snap, the signs of Spring are returning once more, mirroring the new yet tentative enthusiasm and hope from the various approved vaccines now
being rolled out across the world. Production in industry continues to be exemplary, with companies going above and beyond to make sure manufacturing continues, distribution endures and products are being innovatively designed and brought to market. The end of lockdown may now be in sight, and with it, a renewed dedication to sustainability and green technology. In this issue, we cover a range of core topics in our fantastic features, which include the newest Data
Centre Management dilemmas and their solutions, as well as the latest updates with Batteries & Chargers technology. Our specialist supplement focuses on all things cables, from innovative connectors to best practices for cable management. We’ve also new opinions from the Electric Vehicles sector, particularly around heavy vehicle electrification. The share of electricity in transport energy is projected to increase sevenfold from its 2011 level by 2050. Yet while great strides are being made in the electrification of passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles and other heavy vehicles are slower on the uptake. Want to know why? This month you can read all about the challenges for the road to electrification from Roger Brereton, head of sales at Pailton Engineering on page 34. If you would like to write for the magazine on any given topic within the industry then please don't
