| Subaru Planning to Introduce a Hybrid in 2012 Posted: 22 Oct 2009 12:45 PM PDT
Subaru’s AWD Hybrid Concept Car Based on comments made at the Tokyo Motor Show by Ikuo Mori, president of Fuji Heavy Industries (the company that makes Subarus), Subaru is well on their way to releasing their first gasoline-electric hybrid in 2012. |
| Tokyo Auto Show: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Coming To America Posted: 22 Oct 2009 09:53 AM PDT
I don’t normally get excited about hybrids. They’re pretty humdrum if you ask me, and I was into performance vehicles way before I was into alternative fuels. The Prius is boring, the Fusion is just a Fusion, and the Insight and downright ugly. But Honda seems to have been listening, having announced that the aggressively styled CR-Z concept hatch will make it into production as a 2011 model for Japan and America. This is a hybrid car I could actually see myself driving. |
| Hybrids You’ve Never Heard Of: 1993 Chrysler Patriot Posted: 22 Oct 2009 09:25 AM PDT
Chrysler is arguably in the toughest shape of the Big Three Detroit automakers, both financially and with its future lineup. You can point plenty of fingers at reasons why, including the lack of effective, fuel efficient vehicles, but Chrysler was once considered the most innovative of the big three, always thinking big while breaking the bank. One little-known car from the annals of the Auburn Hills automaker is the Patriot, a purpose built hybrid electric race car that was to use turbines and natural gas to achieve purported speeds of 200 mph. |
| NuTech’s Portable Battery Swapping Stations Posted: 22 Oct 2009 09:04 AM PDT
At this point, most of us have heard of Better Place and their battery swap station idea, but they aren’t the only ones who’ve though of such a thing. NuTech, a company I recently discovered at the Alt Car Expo in Santa Monica, CA, has developed their own take on the concept of drive-thru battery swap stations… only theirs is portable. |
