Toyota hybrid owners, on average, keep their cars much longer than owners of other vehicles. That's according to a new analysis from iSeeCars, which analyzed 900,000 used cars from model years 2012 and 2013 sold in 2020. Analysts chose those model years because they were the point where hybrid powertrains became widely available across multiple.

The Munich Traffic Association (MVG) has deployed 8 new Ebusco buses. From now on, line 144 will be driven entirely electrically with these buses—his is the first fully electric line in Munich. The second line is already on its way; line 100 will also run entirely electrically by the end of the year. By electrifying our bus fleet, we are making a major contribution to the fight against air pollution and thus to the quality of life in our city.

Electric vehicles could be losing 4% of their efficiency due to tires—and their inability to hold their ideal pressure. Original Toyota hybrid owners like to keep their vehicles for a long time. Bollinger’s battery pack takes form a bit different than had been previously hinted. This and more here at Green Car Reports. A higher.

The first large-scale study of the risks that countries face from dependence on water, energy and land resources has found that globalization may be decreasing, rather than increasing, the security of global supply chains. Countries meet their needs for goods and services through domestic production and international trade. As a result, countries place pressures on natural resources both within and beyond their borders.
