Tony Parker has built an electric motorbike completely from found junk. Why? The laid-off worker found himself with a lot of time and just began tinkering around the house. |
| Seattle Recognized as Global “E-Visionary” City Posted: 22 May 2009 10:34 AM PDT And the winner for the best sustainable vehicle infrastructure in America is…Seattle? Last week, the World Electric Vehicle Association (WEVA) honored Seattle Mayor Gregory J. Nickels, for the town’s commitment to developing clean, efficient and sustainable modes of transportation. This prestigious award was given during the 24th International Electric Vehicle Symposium in Stravanger, Norway. Other winners of the E-Visionary Award were London Mayor Boris Johnson and Osaka Prefecture in Japan.
Why the surprise? Well, in my somewhat narrow world, the two cities I always here about that are leading the way in developing electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure are San Francisco and Portland. And wouldn’t you know it, the mayors, Gavin Newsom, San Francisco, and Sam Adam, Portland, of these two fine towns have been engaging in a verbal repartee on this very site. |
| Beijing Bans Polluting Vehicles in Inner City Posted: 22 May 2009 07:06 AM PDT
Prior to the 2008 Beijing Olympics there was some concern by athletes about the air quality in China’s capital, so officials there passed a series of temporary measures to improve the air, including restrictions on the types of vehicles allowed into the city. Those measures now appear to be a permanent legacy of the Olympic games, as Beijing has announced that starting in June only low-emissions “green label” vehicles will be allowed inside the 5th Ring Road of Beijing’s inner city. |
