| UK: MIRA's MACE-2 unmanned autonomous vehicle based on Land Rover mechanicals! | | 2008-08-27 18:02:02 | | At the recent Defence Vehicle Dynamics UK show MIRA Ltd., a UK automotive and aerospace technology firm, unveiled this autonomous MACE-2 UGV (unmanned ground vehicle), which is based on Land Rover mechanicals. It's built for rock climbing as well as stairs and can reach a top speed of 80mph on road using a hybrid electric powertrain. The MACE-2 is built primarily for defence applications and its advanced sensing technology give it situational awareness, which can also be used to communicate between other similar unmanned vehicles to strategize and plan missions on the battlefield. Further information won't be released until the vehicle reaches full production sometime in 2009. The demand for unmanned ground vehicles has become a top priority not only in the UK but also in the U.S. where congress has mandated that "by 2015, one-third of the operational ground combat vehicles are unmanned".... | | By: Land Rover Chronicles | | |

| AM General to produce wheelchair-accessible transit vehicle | | 2008-08-15 15:37:00 | | While General Motors looks over a stack of offers for its HUMMER brand, the fate of AM General hangs in the balance. The military contractor developed and built the original Humvee until the rights to the HUMMER name were bought by GM, who then contracted AM General to continue building the H1 (until it was discontinued) and then the Chevy Tahoe-based H2. (The Chevy Colorado-based H3, meanwhile, is built entirely by GM at its Shreveport, Louisiana plant.) With the future of its General Motors contracts uncertain, AM General has announced a new deal of another kind.Starting in 2010, the Indiana-based company will begin producing a new series of wheelchair-accessible transit vehicles for the Vehicle Production Group, LLC. Although, as VPG points out, the usual development gestation period for such vehicles is two to three years, VPG and AM General intend to get the ramp-equipped para-transit vehicle to market in less than 24 months. Over 3,500 units have already been ordered, leading VPG... | | By: Car News | | |

| | ROUSH develops vehicle to increase horse power | | 2008-07-01 12:15:00 | | We wind up behind horse's asses every day on the interstate, but ROUSH has developed a vehicle with a rear-mounted cabin for the express purpose of towing a crew of three around while staring at the business end of an actual Equus caballus. ROUSH Technologies is more than just mechanical Mustangs, and the company has proved it by developing an equine training vehicle for Kurt Systems, a Turkish racehorse and camel training equipment company. The vehicle has an open front stall where the animal can run, and a rear mounted cabin that allows a driver, a veterinarian and a trainer to keep a keen eye on vital signs. The suspension is partially F-150 based, while power is provided by Volvo's 2.4-liter five-cylinder engine hooked up to an automatic transmission and driving through some reduction hardware. The vehicle will start serial production soon; in an odd sort of irony, ROUSH is even further tied to fast horses now.

| | Mazda test drives hydrogen hybrid vehicle | | 2008-06-25 16:32:00 | | apanese car maker Mazda had begun testing a hydrogen/petrol hybrid vehicle on public roads. The Premacy Hydrogen RE Hybrid minivan has a range of 200km on hydrogen fuel, which increases to 550km when running on petrol. The 4.5 metre-long vehicle can hold five passengers. "We will continue to advance our development programme and strive to start commercial leasing during this fiscal year," said Akihiro Kashiwagi, Mazda's programme manager in charge of hydrogen RE development. The vehicle is powered by a hydrogen rotary engine, which can run on hydrogen and petrol, and an electric motor. The driver can switch between the two fuel sources by pushing a button. Hydrogen is stored in a high-pressure tank, while a generator is used to charge lithium-ion batteries which power the electric motor. From information released by Mazda, it is not clear whether the rotary engine can drive the Premacy's wheels directly.

| | Good awareness for vehicle users [Great Indian Petrol Pump Fraud] | | 2008-05-23 13:13:35 | | I would like to bring to your kind attention the "Great Indian Petrol Pump Fraud" happening all over Bangalore (and I believe all over India).Today in the morning, I saw the fuel gauge of my car touching the "Empty" sign, so I thought that while on my way to office, I will fill petrol worth 1000 Rs in my car. When I reached the petrol pump at 9:30 Am today(24th April 2008)(BP petrol pump near Richmond road) I showed the crisp 1000 Rs note to the attendant at the petrol pump and told him to fill 1000 Rs. I repeated 1000 to him 2-3 times so that he registers 1000 Rs in his head fill the petrol for 1000 Rs. I repeatedly told him because of the past experience whenever I had asked him to fill petrol worth 1000 bucks at different gas stations(i.e. for e.g. at Advaitha Gas station, near udapi garden BTM to name one of them),the attendant always filled 200 rs of petrol and said "Sir your 200 rs of petrol is filled" .

| | Very Funny Vehicle- Very little funny about it! | | 2008-05-03 15:30:00 | | I suppose the best way to make people shut up is by making fun of yourself even before they get started. They might join in for a while, but soon they lose all interest and start believing that you are genuinely nice. That probably is the reason why most people tell you that the best kind of comedy is the one where you pull your own leg. This car calls itself VFV and that is probably something that is relegated only to the name and nothing beyond.The VFV super car is a great concept for the future with some unique and wonderful designing thought put in to it. Great design, superb compatibility and stylish looks make it a super model making it guaranteed to give a tough competition to all the concept cars.

| | April Best Selling Vehicle: 2008 Honda Accord | | 2008-05-03 12:13:00 | | 2008 Honda Accord Was the Best Selling Vehicle in the US Last Month...Surprised?Honda released the all-new 2008 Honda Accord last September and it seems like most people, well at least people that make comments on here, said the car was ugly.Well it looks like the US buying public has spoken and the new Accord was not only the best selling car in the US last month, but the best selling vehicle.Yes, that means that the Accord outsold the best-selling Camry and Ford's F-Series pickups, which have been the best selling vehicles in the US for years.Due to the high gas prices, consumers no longer want large gas-guzzling trucks, which explains the decline in Ford's sales. GM and Toyota are also having problems selling their own full size trucks, so it is not a surprise to see the F-Series lose its crown.The big surprise is that the Accord is outselling the Camry, which has been the best-selling car in the US since the late 90's (it lost the title one year to the Accord in 2002).Last month, H... | | By: Autos Space | | |

For instance, operators sometimes accidentally drive under an overpass without enough clearance because they forget about the additional height. Know your RV's height and keep it handy. Also know the clearances of the bridges and tunnels along your route - especially on back roads. A road atlas specifically for RVers or semi drivers can help. A GPS navigation system can also be very helpful.Maintenance is vitalAn RV that is mechanically sound will be less apt to break down. Be thorough with your maintenance. Make a pre-trip checklist and do an inspection whenever you get behind the wheel.Review these safety tips to ensure the correct maintenance of your RV:Inspect all belts, and hoses for cracking and replace as required Check headlights, turn signal, tail lightsCheck your tires for the correct air pre... | | By: Insurance Spot | | |

| | New York 2008: Motive Industries’ muscular X Prize entry vehicle needs a name | | 2008-03-22 17:02:48 | | Of the 60+ teams that have signed a letter of intent to participate in the Progressive Automotive X Prize, about 15 were on hand at the New York Auto Show. With only four cars on stage, it's easy to calculate that some teams arrived sans vehicle. The group from Motive Industries had just a little folded flyer to show what they've been working on for their entry vehicle. The basic idea for the as-yet-unnamed Motive vehicle is an electric car with an on-board ICE for range extension. The real challenge for Motive will be convincing everyone that "filling up" via quick, robot-aided battery exchanges are the way to go. Four-passenger and full size with biomaterials in the body panels and elsewhere, the vehicle is just now moving off of the design pages. Motive's Darren McKeage and Nathan Armstrong were in New York to give the public a first glimpse of this new car. You can view the flyer in the gallery below and listen to the duo by clicking play.

| | Senator John F. Kerry proclaims Vectrix a vehicle of the future | | 2008-03-19 18:42:50 | | Senator Kerry usually likes to drive his Harley-Davidson Wide Glide when he feels the need for the wind in his bouffant and bugs in his teeth. (Someone get that Senator a helmet!) Monday though, found him on the back of a Vectrix scooter while visiting their Bedford, Connecticut operations where, according to a report on SouthCoastToday, he spoke of going "beyond fossil fuels" and "really exciting great possibilities" and "a Vectrix for every blogger". (Ok, I made that last one up.) He reportedly did proclaim the bike a "vehicle of the future." Whether or not there was an electric scooter in his future went unstated.What I'm sure really got his audience excited was his discussion of potential future federal tax incentives for zero-emissions vehicles. Vectrix wants an amendment on legislation ensuring that such an incentive extends to include two and three wheel vehicles. They are serious enough about it to include a new political outreach section to their website. And serious they shou... | | By: Auto News: Car Reviews, Car News, Car Shows | | |

Aside from the exteriors sleek finish, a Honda cars interior carries the same clean-cut design. This two-fold appeal is one of the many luxuries you can enjoy from your Honda. As a Honda owner, the price you pay for these luxuries include the maintenance of your cars style and appearance. Taking care of the vehicles exterior is easy enough, but does your Hondas interior still look elegant?You dont have to be a genius to know what you should do to keep your cars cabin clean. All it takes is placing a Honda Floor Mat on the cabins carpet. The Honda Floor Mat may seem like just something you step on and ignore, but it actually does more than that. The Honda Floor Mat acts as a barrier that prevents mud, dirt, dust, and other grimy particles from penetrating the carpet.

| | Purchasing a Car Insurance Friendly Vehicle | | 2008-03-11 15:18:00 | | Purchasing a vehicle before obtaining a quote on car insurance can be a disaster. Many times, a driver will buy a car and end up having to take it back because they find the insurance rates to be beyond their budget.
One example is an eighteen year old driver with a couple tickets which was paying $90 per month for his 1999 Toyota Corolla with full coverage. He then decided to trade in the vehicle for a 1998 Ford Mustang. He assumed that since the vehicle was about the same price and one year...

| | Driver Of Vehicle Marcus Thomas Was In Isn't Very Smart | | 2008-03-03 16:21:43 | | I tried to find a way to address the situation as politically correct as possible, but when someone is stupid, well, stupid is as stupid does. As more and more details about Marcus Thomas' Saturday Night in Jail come to light, the story gets more and more bizarre, and more and more disturbing, at least to this guy -- According to the police narratives, the vehicle Thomas was in became the subject of a police investigation after another motorist told officers he thought the driver was under the influence and officers subsequently observed the vehicle changing lanes without properly signaling.

| | Vehicle Platforms: Commodity or Competitive Advantage? | | 2008-02-22 19:13:53 | | Recently, Chrysler announced it is working with other automakers to use their mechanical underpinnings for their new vehicles. Chrysler is obviously trying to reduce the capital investment associated with building a new car or truck from scratch. For example, ff a new vehicle costs $1.5-2B in investment, $300M could be spent on the vehicle platform alone. Does it matter if Chrysler builds their own vehicle platform, or could they just as easily “buy” a platform from a competitor and design the exterior? How important was the LX platform to the 300, Charger, and Magnum? Would Chrysler been able to pull off the LX vehicles on any platform or did the Mercedes LX platform give them an edge? If platforms are a commodity, is the last real battleground the interior/exterior design? ... | | By: Auto News: Car Reviews, Car News, Car Shows | | |

| | | How To Get Your Vehicle Ready For A Trip On The Road | | 2008-02-16 10:41:00 | | If you're going on a trip and driving your vehicle, keep in mind there are some preliminary things that should be done, especially if you're driving several hundreds of miles. This will help you to escape the problems that arise if you don't get your vehicle checked out beforehand.Take your vehicle to your mechanic to find out what may need to be done. You should start this at least a month to two months prior to your trip. This is when any major repairs should be taken care of. Having this done a month or two before time gives you a chance to correct any additional issues related to the repair(s).Make sure your tires are inflated properly and that they have enough pressure. Your tires can blow out while you're driving if they don't have enough pressure in them. Checking the tire treads is important. This is another way your tires can experience a blowout.The way to check this is to put a penny between the tire's grooves. On the penny, the head of Abraham Lincoln should be pointing dow... | | By: Cars and Speed | | |

| | NAIAS 2008: Nissan to Cut Vehicle Weight by 15% | | 2008-01-14 07:20:00 | | The Japanese Nissan Motor Co., announced that they expects to reduce the weight of all its vehicles by 15 percent by 2015 to win customers by improving fule economy. Nissan will increase the use of lighter materials such as aluminum, plastic fiber and magnesium alloys in place of steel.``Improving our cars' fuel efficiency will boost our competitiveness as the price of oil surges,'' said by Mitsuhiko Yamashita, the Executive Vice President of Nissan Motor, at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit yesterday.``We want to comply with new rules before governments put them into practice.''Nissan and other carmakers are building more fuel-efficient models as gasoline sells for near record levels of $3 a gallon in the U.S., the world's largest auto market. The move will also help Nissan meet tougher fuel-efficiency rules to be implemented by the U.S., Japan and other markets.Japan plans to require automakers to improve the fuel economy of passenger cars by 23.5 percent on average by fiscal 2015. In the U.S., President George W. Bush in December signed into law a program mandating a 40 percent increase in car and light-truck fuel economy by 2020, when new models will need to average 35 miles per gallon of fuel.Tokyo-based Nissan may also introduce its own gasoline- electric vehicles powered by lithium-ion batteries to be sold under the Infiniti brand in 2010. The company now sells a hybrid Altima sedan with a system developed by Toyota Motor Corp., the world's largest maker of hybrid cars.``Infiniti has better odds,'' as the models have the front engine and rear drive system that works with Nissan's hybrid technology, said Yamashita.Nissan fell 0.5 percent to 1,091 yen on the Tokyo Stock Exchange at the close of trading on Jan. 11.

| | Ten Tips for Vehicle Care in Winter | | 2008-01-13 09:37:00 | | Now, it has been winter, you should know how to care your car beside the caring of your body. So, are your vehicle ready?Here gives ten simple steps can help yor stay safe and keep your vehicle in good working condition while in cold winter.1. Get an oil change.The oil used should have the right viscosity or thickness for your vehicle at this time of year. Oil tends to thicken as it gets colder, and if it's too thick it won't do the best job of keeping your engine lubricated. Ask your technician about which oil to use in different climates and temperatures.2. Make sure you can see ...out of your windshield, that is. When's the last time you replaced your windshield wiper blades? They usually work effectively for about one year, so be sure to invest in some new ones if you're due. Also, fill up your windshield washer reservoir with windshield washer fluid and check to see that your heater and defroster are working properly so you can keep the windshield nice and clear.3. Give your battery a little TLC.This is an ideal time of year to make sure your battery's posts and connections are corrosion-free and that your battery has all the water it needs. If your battery is more than three years old, have a certified repair shop test it and replace it if need be.4. Examine your belts and hoses.Have your technician check your vehicle's belts and hoses for wear and tear. Replace any that is more than three years old, even if they look fine.5. Check your tire pressure.Your tires must be properly inflated to ensure you'll have the best possible traction as you drive along -- and traction is often severely jeopardized in wet, snowy or icy conditions. The air pressure in your tires has likely dropped as the weather has gotten colder, so it's important to see where things stand now. Your car's owner's manual will tell you what your target tire pressure should be. Also, think about switching to snow tires.

| | Bad Credit Vehicle Loans: Are You Dreaming Of A Car: | | 2008-01-10 23:05:22 | | Bad Credit Vehicle Loans: Are You Dreaming Of A Car:by: Gary Grobowski The way of procuring external finance to purchase a new car has now become much easier for persons having bad credit, with the introduction of bad credit vehicle loans. For purchasing any sort of vehicle, bad credit vehicle loans have paved the way to obtain the required finance. This loan plan is specifically and deliberately designed for persons who are suffering from bad credit tags like CCJs, defaults, arrears, and so on.There are two options for securing the funds of bad credit vehicle loans, secured and unsecured. Bad creditors who are property holders can pledge property and borrow the finance with the aid of secured form; on the contrary, persons without property can also obtain the loans amount by applying for the alternate option provided named unsecured. This classification is made in order to make the loan accessible for all categories of persons. The use of collateral matters a lot, because collateral carrying higher equity are offered more benefits than persons who borrow without placing collateral.Bad credit vehicle loans are short term loans and the reimbursement duration does not exceed more than 7 years and less then 2 years. A fixed date of repayment is determined before authorizing the deal, and repayments have to be made in monthly installments. Within the period the rate of interest is fixed and does not alter with the changing rates. While looking for bad credit vehicle loans, applicants should keep in mind the rate of interest which is slightly higher due to the risk involved of lenders. Despite the high rates offered, if comparison is done then you can spot a rate according to your repayment ability. In such cases, it is help to take the help of online application as it not only provide information but also approves loans in instant by saving individual efforts.Bad credit vehicle loans always welcome persons even for buying used car loans.

| | Vehicle insurance | | 2008-01-01 21:17:00 | | Vehicle insurance (also known as auto insurance, car insurance, or motor insurance) is insurance purchased for cars, trucks, and other vehicles. Its primary use is to provide protection against losses incurred as a result of traffic accidents and against liability that could be incurred in an accident.
Excess
An excess payment, also known as a deductible, is the fixed contribution you must be payed each time your car is repaired through your car insurance policy. Normally the payment is made directly to the accident repair garage when you collect the car. If one's car is declared to be a write off, the insurance company will deduct the excess agreed on the policy from the settlement payment it makes to you.
If the accident was the other driver's fault, and this is accepted by the third party's insurer, you'll be able to reclaim your excess payment from the other person's insurance company. If the other driver is uninsured, a policy's minimum limits include coverage for the uninsured/underinsured motorist(s) at fault.
Coverage levels
Vehicle insurance can cover some or all of the following items:
* The insured party
* The insured vehicle
* Third parties
Different policies specify the circumstances under which each item is covered. For example, a vehicle can be insured against theft, fire damage, or accident damage independently.
Compulsory Excess
A compulsory excess is the minimum excess payment your insurer will accept on your insurance policy. Minimum excesses vary according to your personal details, driving record and insurance company.
Voluntary Excess
In order to reduce your insurance premium, you may offer to pay a higher excess than the compulsory excess demanded by your insurance company. Your voluntary excess is the extra amount over and above the compulsory excess that you agree to pay in the event of a claim on the policy. As a bigger excess reduces the financial risk carried by your insurer, your insurer is able to off... | | By: California Car Insurance | | |
