Deutz debuts new prototype electric drives and more | High Quality Fuel Injection Nozzle

Of course, it’s worth mentioning that many Colorados have been through hard core off-roading without blowing their side curtain airbags, and that the incidents mentioned here likely only represent a tiny fraction of trucks on the road.

Harley-Davidson said Tuesday it’s recalling about 238,300 motorcycles, worldwide, for a clutch problem.

The Chevy airbag defect affected close to five million vehicles including the 2014-2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 and the Silverado HD.

For the electric power market, Cummins has further developed its battery range. The firm’s latest lithium-ion battery portfolio includes battery packs and battery modules that can be integrated expertly with Cummins’ new electric and hybrid powertrain portfolio, providing customers with a broad range of flexible, scalable power solutions for small and large commercial applications. Andrew Penca, general manager, Battery Systems at Cummins. “Cummins is committed to investing $500 million in electrification over three years. These investments include innovation of fully electric and hybrid power solutions that will serve our markets as they adopt electrification.” The BP74E (74kWh battery pack), BP35E (35kWh battery pack), BM44E (44kWh battery module) and BM20E (20kWh battery module) are Cummins-designed and built units featuring Li-ion technology. The firm says the units offer a high energy density and proprietary control technology, allowing a high battery performance for a longer zero emission range. They benefit from a modular design and can be scaled and aligned with the capability and duty cycle of the application. The range includes low voltage packs (BM44E and BM20E) that power material handling applications to high voltage energy dense battery systems (BP35E and BP74E) that have the energy needed for long range buses and trucks.

yeah, but what do you propose to do to those awful people who have perfectly functional older cars that don’t meet your nanny-mandate that is keeping your family from certain doom?

Some of the Silverado’s old models also came with issues of poor engine design that made the truck hemorrhage oil and guzzle fuel.

We all know how important being safe and comfortable it is when driving or riding in a pickup truck or car. Chevys seat issue began during assembly when the seat frame attachment hooks were not properly installed in the 2015 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks.

The application was dug up on Friday by automotive errata super sleuth Bozi Tatarevic over at Jalopnik. It describes a "clutch-by-wire" system that would essentially use a servo and a potentiometer (like an e-throttle in a modern engine) to operate a vehicle’s clutch. It’s an exciting idea, and I’ll explain why.

Q: With regard to your recent comments about people preferring automatic transmissions to manuals, I agree most people prefer automatics for their convenience, but I suggest you also consider another reason to choose a modern-day automatic. I grew up driving manual transmissions, including a number of high-performance cars. I’ve also been to high-performance driving school, where I learned, and mastered, the heel-and-toe shifting technique. Even so, my recent purchases have been high-performance cars with automatics. Why? They shift faster than anyone can manually — professional or amateur — including matching revs on the downshifts. Lazy? No. I just prefer having a vehicle where performance potential is maximized.

Pretty minor issue. If I remember correctly, Ford had a lot of problems in the first few years they started using EPAS in their vehicles.
