Tesla Motors co-founder wants to electrify commercial trucks - Autoblog (blog)

Twelve years ago, Ian Wright and some fellow engineers launched Tesla Motors, a Silicon Valley company that has helped jumpstart the market for electric cars. We save a lot on maintenance, and we make the emissions compliance much easier," said Wright, a New Zealand-born engineer who left Tesla when it was still a small startup in 2005. Wrightspeed is one of a growing number of companies that are trying... While more consumers are switching to electric cars like the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt or Tesla Model S, convincing commercial fleet owners to replace their diesel trucks won't be easy. "It takes a lot of technological ambition to break into such an old and established market," said Mark Duvall, a research director at the Electric Power Research Institute in Palo Alto. "If you want to sell a fleet owner an electric truck, you have to convince them that it's better than what they're already using. Wright's company is installing its powertrains on 25 FedEx delivery trucks and 17 garbage trucks for the Ratto Group, a Santa Rosa-based waste management company. Its plug-in powertrains feature an electric engine, battery system and on-board power generator that runs on diesel or natural gas and recharges the battery when it gets low.

2013 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet vs. 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet ... - Edmunds.com

With that in mind we present "Edmunds Track Tested," a quick rundown of all the data we collect at the track, along with comments direct from the test drivers. People have said that our long-term 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet with PDK is the last, or second-to-last 911 they'd ever buy. Our 911 has a base price of $93,700. The next step up the Porsche ladder is the Carrera S Cabriolet that lumps together a 3. 8-liter flat-6 producing 400 hp, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and several other less important features. What do 50 hp and an active suspension do. And does it justify the $15,000 premium over the base 911. We went to the track to find out. Drive Type: Rear engine, rear-wheel-drive. Engine Type: Direct-injected, DOHC, 3. 4-liter horizontally opposed six-cylinder. Displacement (cc/cu-in): 3,436/210. Redline (rpm): 7,800. Horsepower (hp @ rpm): 350 @ 7,400. Torque (lb-ft @ rpm): 287 @ 5,600. Brake Type (front): 13. 4-inch ventilated and cross-drilled rotors with four-piston fixed calipers. Brake Type (rear): 13-inch ventilated and cross-drilled rotors with four-piston fixed calipers. Suspension Type (front): Modified MacPherson strut, coil springs, stabilizer bar. Suspension Type (rear): Multilink,. Source: www.edmunds.com

GM Suspends Engineers, Adds Recall Repair, Ups Cost To $1.3B - The Car Connection

General Motors [NYSE: GM] CEO Mary Barra revealed today that it's placed two engineers on paid leave, in connection with the company's massive recall effort, and ongoing investigations regarding whether the automaker knew about the issue—now... And separately, the company specified that it's expanding the recall effort to include replacement of the ignition lock cylinder on some models already included in the switch recall. ALSO READ: Hey, Google: This College Student Built An Autonomous Car For $4,000. Regarding the lock-cylinder issue solely, GM says that it knows of one rollaway and one injury claim, with no fatalities. That's not the case for the ignition-switch recall, which already involves numerous injuries and at least 13 fatalities. That would cause the engine to turn off unexpectedly, with power steering and braking lost, making it tougher to avoid an accident or safely pull to the side of the road. The two GM engineers placed on leave include Gary Altman, who was the program manager on the Saturn Ion and Chevrolet Cobalt for much of the affected era (and more recently, the chief engineer for the Chevrolet Cruze).
