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.

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.

Filed under: Coupe , Crossover , Mini , Rumormill 2011 Mini Countryman – Click above for high-res image gallery At first take, it’s not easy to accept the 2011 Mini Countryman crossover. We understand. But after our first drive of the pint-sized CUV, it started to make more sense. We’re hoping to have similar revelations about a coupe version of the Countryman, which is reportedly being considered within Mini ‘s product development department

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.
