OCTOBER 4, 2009

In a news conference at the Japan National Press Club on Friday, Toyota Motor President Akio Toyoda said that the company plans to begin mass production of electric vehicles in the US in 2012, followed by US production of fuel cell vehicles in 2015. This is not an either-or choice between hybrids and electric cars.

Cars That Think

MARCH 12, 2023

Electric cars barely existed in 2010, when the Tesla Model S was still a glint in Elon Musk’s eye. A battery will be the high-voltage heart of each of those 77 million electric vehicles, and by far their most expensive component, setting off a worldwide race to ethically source their materials and crank up production to meet exploding demand.

NOVEMBER 16, 2011

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the US Department of Transportation (DOT) formally unveiled their joint proposal to set stronger fuel economy and greenhouse gas pollution standards for Model Year 2017-2025 passenger cars and light trucks. The 163 g/mile limit would be equivalent to 54.5 mpg US (5.87 mpg US (5.87

CAR did not assume any downsizing of the vehicle sales fleet or significant reduction in performance by vehicles in any segment as a means for increasing fuel economy standards by 2025. The combined weighted cost of implementing each of these technologies provides an average per vehicle cost estimate for obtaining the higher mile per gallon.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

JULY 17, 2015

The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. (In In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.) It is much more than that.

Opel to launch 3 new engine families, 13 new engines by 2016

Green Car Congress

APRIL 10, 2013

Opel is launching three new engine families and 13 new engines between 2012 and 2016, renewing 80% of its engine portfolio. Due to its specially designed turbines, the midsize gas engine’s turbocharger provides response that is usually generated by twin-scroll turbines on larger engines, Opel says. For durability, it is water-cooled.
