Jeep sidesteps EVs with ICE off-road concepts, points to PHEVs

Baua Electric

At its annual Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah, Stellantis’ Jeep brand has presented four new concept off-roaders. And this year, unlike other recent years, all of them were gasoline-fueled. An electric motor can be clutched in with or without the 3.6-liter market plug-in hybrid. And in 2023, a Jeep Magneto 3.0

Diesel Brewing to Manufacture Cellulosic Biobutanol from Biomass and Manure With Thermochemical Process

Green Car Congress

Biobutanol can be blended into conventional gasoline or diesel stocks without engine modifications. Butanol is certified by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as an additive agent in gasoline up to 11%. We don’t want to merely make electric power from these waste products. million tons of dairy manure each year.

Once further optimized and energy conversion elements, such as thermoelectric converters, are added, the cell could produce electricity. It looks like it will have to be a thermal conversion—that makes it not quite as easy as if I could get a direct conversion to electricity. George, Utah.

Abandoned History: The 2014 VIA VTRUX Pickup, a Forgotten Silverado

The Truth About Cars

A brief moment in EV history passed us by about a decade ago, when the little-known VIA Motors introduced their lineup of VTRUX hybrid-electric vehicles. The story begins with a company in Utah called Raser Technologies. In theory the vehicles would be charged often to minimize the gasoline used by the engine.&
