After the name Cuda, Chrysler has also registered the name Tradesman. As reported by “Inside Line”, the name will be used by Dodge Tradesman to identify the U.S. version of the Fiat Ducato, designed to replace the current home of Mercedes Sprinter in 2012. However, the Duchy could be marketed overseas with the brand new Ram, which will identify commercial vehicles and pick-up Group in Auburn Hills. The Dodge Tradesman van, however, was introduced in the U.S. market in 1971 and was produced until 2003 in three different generations.
Meanwhile, with regard to other synergies between Chrysler and Fiat, the U.S. site shows that, by 2013, many models under the brands Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep will adopt the sequential TCT 6-speed dual-clutch dry product from the Lingotto . Instead, “Automotive News” reports that the project had been frozen on the pick-up Jeep, or the production version of the Gladiator concept expected on the market by the end of 2011. The decision relates to the willingness on the part of Chrysler to develop the pick-up only with the Ram brand.

On Wednesday Group Lotus has finally announced its agreement with the Renault team and its official entry into Formula 1.
It was expected that the British car manufacturer (which is now owned by Proton) to link with Renault in the form of sponsorship or by purchasing part of Enstan-based team.
In this case, it is a strategic alliance between two companies as a direct result of team Lotus Renault GP. Indeed, Group Lotus is a key partner of Genii Capital, the relationship includes sponsorship of teams by 2017.
Meanwhile, Renault remain in Formula 1 as a supplier of engines and advisor to the engineering part. French automaker, however, and has sold his remaining stake in the team of Genii.
More strange is that the only team that now bears the name Lotus list for 2011 is that of Tony Fernandez, who also signed an agreement to supply engines Renault. So the name of his team can also become Lotus-Renault.
Of Group Lotus (which is maintained authentic Lotus) stressed that now fully back in Formula 1, although Fernandez also used the name Lotus this year (temporary license). However, this same license has been revoked as a result of which there were disputes and team name.
Honda introduced a new station for charging hydrogen, which is powered by solar energy. More striking in this case is that it can operate and recharge fuel cells even at night. That device, which is developing over 10 years of practice can be installed in the garage of each user.
Single plant produces 0.5 kg hydrogen for about eight hours. Sadly, not many customers would consider it useful enough. 0.5 kg hydrogen for example, would help a Honda FCX Clarity range of about 50 per km.
In this case, the new station is not intended to replace the standard filling stations, as they will continue to be more effective in that it can load a car primed for less than 5 minutes. That slower functioning home station will be used more to reduce costs for end users.
A full charge in the standard stations, however, would be sufficient for Honda FCX Clarity can travel up to 460 km, according to an official press release. However, the site of the car says that its maximum distance per charge is about 385 km.
From Honda claims that the fuel is produced in a more effective way in the new home station in comparison with previous solar analogues. In practice, producing enough hydrogen for a daily pass through the city. This performance was even increased by 25% due to the smaller and lighter elektrolizer. Accordingly, it replaces the previous system, which consisted of a separate compressor elektrolizer
And because such a system does not include storage of hydrogen, the station will produce hydrogen only when the car is turned towards it. As for the solar panels during the day they send electricity directly to the grid when the car does not car related.
Actually not so rare guys who (mostly abroad) dealing with parking your car in front of a restaurant, be quite unreliable. Give them the keys to the car and in the next few hours they actually can do with them whatever they want. Really can not even provide the keys to a third party which has nothing to do with the car? Can. . .
According to the Herald Sun that is what happened in Australia, where the professional poker player Van Marcus was stopped before the Crowne Casino in Melbourne for a nice little game of poker. And after his Ferrari F430 was granted to the boy to park it, it suddenly behind the wheel proved to be Adam Ramsey, who was taken the car to your home. It appears that after seeing the forthcoming F430, Ramsey has made the guys that deal with parking, and told them that he had lost your coupon. Whether it’s a bad policy or pure nonsense, the guys barely Ramsey asked for some personal information before it is safe to provide keys for the F430.
Logically, then Marcus was very angry when he found that his F430 has started without him – and with someone who is quite unknown. Fortunately for Marcus, police in Melbourne pretty quickly has dealt with his work, having traced the car six hours later, when Ramsey was stopped for gasoline. Currently a trial against the thief, and almost certainly he will have to somehow compensate for their deeds. . .
Overall, the lesson is pretty clear – should not be there until such trust the guys who park, especially when it comes to any exotic car. Marcus even commented later that he no longer felt the car the same way after having been driven by a stranger. Alas!
The Internet suddenly emerged spy shots of the next generation Volkswagen Beetle during the tests in mountainous conditions.
Impression on the new design makes the flat roof, and slightly flattened boxes. All this makes the car look noticeably more sporty. The way the rear is lowered and the rear fenders remind more of the classic Beetle, than this New Beetle.
The prototype here towing a trailer, which probably means that the VW tested the engine power to him. Among the proposed units are 1.2-liter gasoline engine power of 106 hp 2-liter gasoline TFSI with an output of 213 hp, 1.6-liter TDI diesel with a power of 106 hp, and 2-liter diesel power of 142 hp
Expected next-generation VW Beetle to debut at the Auto Show in Detroit next January. Sales should start shortly thereafter. . .
