Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

Filed under: Hirings/Firings/Layoffs , GM If you’ve been wondering what former General Motors CEO Fritz Henderson has been up to since getting the boot, The Detroit News has the skinny for you.

The company is currently planning to spin off its SunCoke Energy arm during the first half of 2011, and when that happens, Henderson will become the subsidiary’s chairman and CEO. SunCoke produces metallurgical coke used to manufacture steel.

Consumer Federation of America calls for 60 mpg CAFE standard by 2025

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

Filed under: Etc. , Government/Legal , Technology Now that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Environmental Protection Agency have established fleet fuel economy standards of 35.5 miles per gallon by 2016 , the government agencies are hard at work on the next phase of increases that will stretch out to 2020 and beyond. The 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act mandated 40 mpg by 2020 as a minimum, but the standards could actually be set higher. That’s exactly what the Consumer Federation of America (CFA) and Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) want.

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

Filed under: Aftermarket , SUV , Etc. , Videos , Nissan , Middle East , Design/Style , Off-Road Sheik, hydro and roll – Click above to watch video after the jump Well, this is certainly different. We’ve seen our fair share of wild vehicle modifications over the years, but this one takes the cake as one of the most imaginative.
