Automotive Adaptive Cruise Control System market is expected to offer an excellent growth in 2021 illuminated by new report | Fuel Injection/Nozzle

It’s worth mentioning that this anonymous owner is a huge fan of his ZR2, which he bought specifically to daily drive and to take off-road. He raved endlessly about it on the phone with me, saying: “I love my truck… everything about it is awesome except for the stupid airbag deployment thing.”

• Full power mode provides the maximum performance available as the main engines and booster motors operate together to achieve full power. Full power operation also provides the best possible acceleration from the engine and gen-sets, the company said.

But with three unique (if optional) upgrades over a Bowtie-badged truck, there’s an argument to be made that the GMC is a truck targeted to the well-known and well-understood return buyer: someone willing to spend on the finer things. Still, one wonders how long it will take for the trick MultiPro tailgate to trickle down to the volume model Silverado—and, further, how long this kind of badge-engineering can work for GM. Though the GMC engineers would be loathe to consider it (the pride they all take in this truck was obvious) from a buyer’s perspective the GMC Sierra is already a sort of upmarket trim level from the Silverado—making the popular Denali option a trim-within-a-trim. Why not make the Sierra a tech-focused trim option, and Denali a luxury package, and let the big spenders tick both boxes? 

Volvo Penta hopes that the EU Stage V regulations can be used by other regulators as the basis for new standards, as the company believes that the patchwork of different standards around the world increases costs.

GMC’s AT4 Sierra—for "All Terrain 4"—comes with a factory-installed two-inch lift kit and more off-road oriented tires. If you’re familiar with Chevy’s "Trail Boss" package, you’re looking at the same thing here. Any trim level Sierra, including the Denali’s, can be ordered with the lift kit from the factory.

A fuel cell comprises an anode, a cathode and an electrolyte membrane and functions by hydrogen being passed through the anode and oxygen through the cathode. Hydrogen molecules are split at the anode into electrons and protons, with the protons passing through the electrolyte membrane and electrons being forced through a circuit, generating a current and excess heat. Protons, electrons and oxygen combine at the cathode to produce water molecules. The technology allows hydrogen to be directly converted to power with zero emissions.

Long charging times are still a major roadblock for electric cars, but Delta Electronics wants to change that. The company plans to test a new system that can add 180 miles of range to an electric car in just 10 minutes. General Motors is a backer of the project.

I suppose I could tolerate automatic lane keeping as long as the warnings weren’t obnoxious and any tug on the steering wheel was brief and barely detectable. I don’t want to have to fight the wheel.

In addition to the two new engines, 4.3-liter V6 and 5.3-liter and 6.2-liter V8s carry over from the previous-generation Silverado. The V6 is rated at 285 hp and 305 lb-ft of torque, while the 5.3-liter V8 is rated at 355 hp and 383 lb-ft. Both get six-speed automatic transmissions. The 6.2-liter V8 produces 420 hp and 460 lb-ft, and comes with a 10-speed automatic.

According to Automotive Fleet, GM/ Chevy informed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that there was Base radio default in their pickup trucks. The base radio gives off warnings if the key is left in the ignition or if seat belts aren’t clipped on properly. It also warns you if the doors are left open. Without the base radio working correctly it would cause the trucks not to be in compliance with motor vehicle safety standards. The alert can prevent needless injuries, and theft of the vehicle in case a driver or a passenger forgets. Pickup trucks affected are the 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 and the 2005 Silverado HD. There were no deaths or injuries reported due to this defect but Chevy took it seriously and fixed it of no charge to the customers.

“The fifth and latest generation of QAS gensets are designed from the outset to meet end-users’ evolving needs for sustainable productivity, increased operational flexibility and compliance with environmental and regulatory obligations.”

“Cummins engineers have done significant testing of this system to ensure the same dependability, quality and reliability customers have come to expect from our brand,” explained Jim Schacht, executive director, Cummins Global Marine Business. “With more than 10 years of experience applying SCR to Cummins engines in our on-highway and industrial segments, vessel operators can rest assured they have a great product powering their ship.”
