First Look: 2019 Chevrolet Silverado can run on just one cylinder | Speed Sensor Chevrolet

If grandpa wants those safety systems for his vehicle, then he can buy them for HIS vehicle. Passively forcing others to do the same through regulation is wrong.

I’m sorry, but you’re being naive. The automakers agreed to “voluntarily” put this technology in all of their vehicles by, I think, 2025 (2023?) as part of a back room deal with the government to keep the feds off their backs in other areas – like fuel economy. And the public had no input at all. Toyota believes in what’s good for Toyota. Every other automaker operates the same way.

The 2019 Silverado joins the 2019 Ram 1500, which recently got a complete overhaul, and the 2018 Ford F-150, which recently benefitted from a mid-cycle update. The Silverado will also compete against the aging Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan models, which were last refreshed in 2014 and 2016, respectively.

“I was climbing uphill, and [the truck] leaned over to the right…Yeah, the airbags went off. OnStar came on, I managed to get the truck started, tucked the airbags back in, and drove it home.”

How can you even bring this up as a point and in the same breath say you’d prefer that all cars that aren’t up to a future Arthur-Dailey-safety-nanny specification be banned from the roads for the sake of your own brood? Holy hell man, look in the mirror.

“So yeah, I do want you to have the very best in warning systems, selfishly for MY OWN SAFETY. And if that means I end up paying more for my vehicle, that’s a minor price in my opinion.”

While the machine’s we saw were still in the prototype phase, Deutz plans to start manufacturing modular hybrid drives in 2019 and selling hybrids and all-electric products by 2020, says Dr. Frank Hiller, Deutz’s CEO. By 2022-2023 Hiller says the company anticipates hybrids and electric drive units will account for 5-to 10-percent of the company’s revenue. Since the company projects sales above 200,000 engines by 2022, that could mean anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000 electrified machines in the market running on E-Deutz systems in the next few years.

Mr Pratt previously worked at Sandia National Laboratories, where he led the SF-Breeze study into the feasibility of fuel cell-powered ferries.

Stage V includes a broader range of engine powers and applications, including off-highway machinery, and so manufacturers have been investing in cleaner engine research for many years in preparation. The Stage V regulations will come into force for engines below 56kW and above 130kW in January 2019, and for those in between one year later.

The other problem is that these systems age and/or the tech improves (as well as repair costs). Our ’14 Odyssey’s forward collision warning falsed a lot towards the end of our time with it on lease. Yet, I never turned it off, because I figured one day it might save my butt or my wifes. But lane departure and assist gets turned off day one.

Noise levels have been reduced on the models and are now on average between 5 and 8dBA quieter than comparable generators. This is achieved, said Atlas Copco, by a combination of technologies, including a VSD motor-driven fan that adjusts the cooling flow to the specific requirements of the engine.
