French Army replacing Peugeot P4s with Ford Rangers as off-road patrol vehicle - Digital Trends

In a move that will please Ford enthusiasts and standup comedians alike, the French army will purchase 1,000 Ford Ranger pickups to serve as off-road patrol vehicles. The T6 Ranger, which is ironically not sold in the United States due to its F-150-like proportions, will replace the aging Peugeot P4 that went into French military service in 1983. The pickup is currently assembled in South Africa. The new Ranger was chosen for its cargo and payload capacity as well as its ability to carry five adults easily, areas where the European vehicles simply did not stack up. “It’s not a question of America versus France,” said French Defense... Peugeot declined to comment on the matter, but Renault spokeswoman Maya Vautier stated that because Renault does not make a pickup currently, Ford essentially won by default.

The Evolution of the Electric Car - Gas 2.0

Originally published on Sustainnovate . Following up on my articles on the history of solar power science, history of solar power policy, history of solar power manufacturing, history of wind turbines, and history of trains, here’s a piece on the... Most people mean “electric car” when they say “electric vehicle. ” Electric vehicles could also be electric trains, trams, bicycles, skateboards, and so on, but that’s not what most people think about when they think about electric vehicles. To keep things simple, I’m mostly just delving into the history of “electric cars” in this article. If you’re fairly new to electric cars, you might think their history goes back just a few years. However, there have actually been a few eras of electric cars, dating back to the early 1800s. Let’s have a stroll through time. 1828: Hungarian inventor Ányos Jedlik, who had invented an early electric motor, builds a small, model car powered by this motor. 1834: Vermont blacksmith Thomas Davenport and his wife Emily build a small, model electric car that runs on a circular, electrified track. 1835: In the Netherlands, Professor Sibrandus Stratingh of Groningen and his assistant, Christopher Becker, build a small electric car powered by primary cells (nonrechargeable batteries).
