Here’s one look:

5th: Hydrogen delivery trucks? A hydrogen fuel cell might have some use in ocean-going marine (or maybe that’s an ammonia fuel cell) or rail... but local delivery trucks that come back to the barn at night? I wouldn’t bet against battery electric, even for multiple shifts.

I swept the floor at the BMW factory in Regensburg the summer of 1996 and loved every minute of it.

Hat tip to Citric. What a car. Needs more gauges though:

From the Automotive News article: “Dealers are looking forward to the introduction of a ‘competitive eSprinter product’ for the U.S.”

This. 

1928-31 Ford Model A? Ford GPW/Willys MB? 1946-1964 Willys truck or wagon? Porsche Carrera GT? Nissan Frontier Pro-4X crew cab with a six speed manual? Dodge/RAM Power Wagon?

I get a kick out of reading their review of the Jeep Wrangler. It cracks me up. The words usually include something along the line of “noisy, rough ride, slow, inefficient,...” as if a Wrangler buyer meant to snag a Chevy Bolt got mixed up somewhere on the way back to the finance office.

Yeah, it seems like we are in a mad rush to make all cars have the outward visibility of a Chevy Camaro.

Whoa. You just won the internet. Nice!

What’s it called?

Also - just because a company is now publicly traded (see recent trend to use a SPAC) - doesn’t mean it’s a sound investment.

At Volkswagen, workers get a seat on the board, because Europeans broadly have more respect for their workers than Americans do. That is complicating things at Volkswagen, as CEO Herbert Diess is trying to fill the chief financial officer and top purchasing officer jobs, and encountering resistance for his choices,

I wonder what the fuel consumption rate is when idling to provide power to the 2.4 kW compared to that of a portable generator.

CARB isn’t putting jack on us car people.

Where is the plug-in Palisade?

Hat tip for Street Hawk reference.

Yes, the 1995ish Acura Legend Coupe GS with the six speed:

I’m for this... and maybe in return we can adjust the crash safety standards to improve outward visibility. We can start with assuming passengers are belted in to shrink airbags and hence A pillars. Maybe take a hard look at front pedestrian crash guidelines to avoid the trend of a hood the height of a MRAP.

Yup, it’s the lack of offering a plug-in option on nearly any of the top 30 best-selling “cars” in the US. The US doesn’t need another plug-in city car.
