Report: Former GM CEO Fritz Henderson to lead Sunoco spinoff

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. Henderson is now headed to Sunoco to fill in as the company’s senior vice president, at least for now. 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.

Report: Lotus bringing a pair of front-engine hybrids to Paris Motor Show

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

Filed under: Hybrid , Paris Motor Show , Lotus Lotus Evora 414E Hybrid – Click above for high-res image gallery In addition to the pair of Evoras being introduced at this year’s Paris Motor Show , Lotus will also be unveiling two front-engine hybrid vehicles, in keeping with the automaker’s promise to offer more gasoline/electric sports cars. Edmunds’ Green Car Advisor reports that one of these hybrid cars will be a four-door hatchback and the other will be a two-door coupe. Lotus debuted its hybrid concept earlier this year in the form of the Evora 414E Hybrid (pictured), but unlike the mid-engine concept, the two front-engine models will utilize a 47-horsepower 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine specifically designed to provide power to electric-drive hybrids. We’ll have the full details direct from the Paris show later this month, so stay tuned.

Next Defender expected in 2014 but Land Rover suffering from lack of focus?

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

Filed under: SUV , Land Rover , Military , UK , Off-Road Land Rover Fire and Ice Defenders – Click above for high-res image gallery Land Rover seems to be having some trouble figuring out how to go about putting its plan for the successor to the Defender throne into motion. According to Autocar , the company knows what attributes the vehicle should have, but doesn’t know how to go about engineering the platform using existing components from the company’s parts bin. Word from the web had previously said that Land Rover had planned to use the company’s T5 steel platform for Project Icon (the internal name for the next Defender), though according to the report, the company now thinks that the chassis would be too heavy to be a viable option.

Chevrolet Volt will not be eligible for HOV-lane access until mid-2012

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

Filed under: Hybrid , Sedan , Government/Legal , Hatchback , Chevrolet , Nissan , Electric Prospective owners of the Chevrolet Volt and Nissan Leaf shouldn’t get too excited about driving in California carpool lanes as soon as they take delivery. Late Tuesday night California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed SB 535 into law, extending access to the high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lanes to certain very low and zero emissions vehicles. This new class of vehicles known as Enhanced Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emissions Vehicles (enh-ATPZEVs) and includes plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles like the Leaf and Toyota’s Prius PHEV.
