Welcome to Thomas Top Five, where we highlight our most popular recent stories. 

Micro, a Swiss company, recently announced the launch of Microlino, a
1,000-pound minicar. The vehicle is the company’s contribution to a sustainable
solution in urban areas and has enough room for a driver, a passenger, and some
cargo. Watch our recent video to see this LEGO-like car. 

In other vehicle news, we’re seeing spikes in sourcing for material handling and
service vehicle-related categories on Thomas. The trends driving sourcing on
Thomas are last-mile delivery robots, robotic forklifts, and an overall desire
for more electrification. Check out our latest Thomas Index Report to explore
more of the industrial trends we’re seeing. 

In related news, many U.S. consumers are rejecting electric vehicles in favor of
hybrid models. Because hybrid vehicles are becoming more popular, there are
various plug-ins and standard models to choose from. We did a deep dive into the
top hybrids in 2024. 

Tesla leader Elon Musk has long been known for pairing innovation with optimism
and often compresses his big ideas into sometimes unrealistic timelines. So,
it’s no surprise that Tesla is expanding from electric vehicles to humanoid
robots because… why not? Dubbed Optimus, Musk says the bot is perfect for
companionship, cooking, teaching, and even babysitting. 

Finally, from a worker shortage to a push for innovative materials, the
construction industry is experiencing both positive and negative trends this
year. In our recent article, you can learn more about seven trends in store for
construction workers, companies, and supply chains in 2024. 

I’m Megan Conniff, and this is Thomas Top Five.
