Politicians and bureaucrats don’t see the difference, and don’t care. They want to expand their fiefdoms, and nothing else matters.

We aren’t conspiracy theorists, but we have to wonder if KTM/Husqvarna owner Stefan Pierer’s engineers aren’t handicapping the Husqvarna FC450 so it doesn’t perform better than the KTM 450SXF. If we were in Stefan Pierer shoes, we’d have the Husqvarna engineers on the hot seat explaining the mysteries of the choked-up airbox, faulty Magura component and ice-cream-cone restrictor. This is a great bike if you drill out the airbox, install a Brembo slave piston and add a slip-on muffler (or even borrow a restrictor-less FC250 muffler). Full test of the 2019 Husqvarna FC450.

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, one percent of all crashes are due to rollovers but a third of passenger receives injuries. Cheat Sheets has also reported that Chevy Chevrolet Colorado has a 22 %chance of rolling over, and of course the Silverado could not be left out of this section either.

ABS can turn into a liability as well in super low traction situations, although when you reach that point, I’d more so question whether the tires were right for the situation, or whether it’s even safe at all to be driving on the road in the first place (ice storm or the like).

The MTA v3 lineup — MTA 524, 627 and 628 — currently covers the entire Cat 3500 engine range of 1500 to 2525 kW and provides the benefits of large savings in maintenance costs, lower maintenance and service risks and simple firefighting installation, Caterpillar said.

But when it comes to braking, both types of cars perform essentially the same… though at least until lately when it came to ‘black ice’ or otherwise ‘invisible’ ice, the ABS would think the car was at a dead stop… while you keep sliding into trouble. That ‘threshold and release’ technique still saved me one time as I was on an iced-over bridge headed for an intersection where the light had just turned red, nearly 500 feet in front of me. Now, I knew I was on a bridge and I was pretty sure I was on ice (we’d just had a snowstorm the night before) so I was almost literally crawling along the highway, maybe doing 20mph on the flat. Unfortunately, I was on a long, sweeping, downhill curve to the light at the bottom. I touched the brakes so lightly I couldn’t even feel any braking effort, but my steering said I was sliding. Release and the car would track the steering, touch the brakes and the car would slide. I did this I don’t know how many times as I made my way around that curve and finally came to a full stop… right in the middle of the intersection. Had I just locked down on the brakes, the ABS would have done nothing but let me slide off the road, helplessly.

In late August, we drove the all-new 2019 GMC Sierra in Newfoundland, Canada. The testing included extended drives through the country, trailering demonstrations, and short (and very light) off-roading. Also, we witnessed a Newfoundlander initiation ritual called "Screeching in," which involves kissing a dead cod, shots of rum, and the phrase "Deed I is, me ol’ cock! And long may yer big jib draw!"

Rather than develop its own electric drives from scratch, Deutz bought another German firm Torqueedo, which manufacturers electric drive motors for watercraft—everything from tiny fishing kayaks to trolling motors, rescue watercraft and large ferries. Completed just a year ago, the acquisition gave Deutz industrial scale, ready-made technology solutions for battery management, electric motors, controllers and the software that ties it all together says Michael Wellenzohn, a member of the Deutz board of management.

Meanwhile, Deutz has unveiled its first off-highway hybrid drive. This system combines a 55kW TCD 2.9 diesel engine with a 55kW electric motor, and is said to open up potential for efficiency gains in drivetrain technology. The E-DEUTZ strategy combines its low-emission engines with electric drives and follows the firm’s 2017 acquisition of Torqeedo, a market leader and system solution specialist for integrated electric and hybrid drives for boats. The technology is now being developed for Deutz’s off-highway engine business, which is why it has developed the modular, scalable hybrid drive. Featuring the TCD 2.9 diesel engine and an electric motor, the combined system delivers 110kW. Its lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 40kWh at 400V. And Volvo Penta has set 2021 as its deadline to introduce electric power solutions. This forms part of the firm’s long-term strategy to become a driving force in sustainable power solutions. Volvo Penta is developing sophisticated hybrid and all-electric drivelines for both its marine and industrial segments by 2021.This follows the success of hybrid and all-electric technology introduced by the Volvo Group. “Volvo Penta is embracing the electric transformation and will be at the forefront in delivering compelling business cases to customers using this new technology,” said Björn Ingemanson, president of Volvo Penta. “We will take a full systems supplier approach, helping our customers in the transition to the new technology. This will happen application-by-application, on the basis that the business case for switching to electric will differ across our many customer segments. However, he also added, “This is the start of a long-term transition. Diesel and gasoline-powered primary drive systems will remain the most appropriate power source for many applications for years to come.”The firm has already developed prototype systems in-house. “Volvo Penta is already several years into its electrification journey,” said Johan Inden, chief technology officer. “We have spent this time building competencies, experience and establishing the technologies required to deliver a sustainable power solutions road map. The advanced engineering projects we are currently running, and the performance data received gives us confidence that we are on the right technology path to offer customers a compelling business case for electrification.”As part of this increased commitment, Volvo Penta has restructured its organisation to accelerate the switch towards electrified power and has committed to an ambitious ramping-up of its electrification investment program. An electromobility development-and-test laboratory has also been established at its Swedish headquarters.While the power outputs and applications of the initial electric systems are being kept confidential for the time being, the company has announced that both hybrid and all-electric solutions will be offered at the outset. Volvo Penta is already field testing early prototypes and system validation is under way.Petrol alternative Kohler says that its compact, single cylinder Command PRO EFI ECH440 benefits from closed-loop electronic fuel injection technology (EFI). The 10.4kW petrol engine is said to offer better fuel efficiency, reliability, and easier starting in harsh conditions. It is suited to use in compact power solutions. The Command PRO EFI ECH440 controls and manages the exhaust through the closed-loop system, extending the life of the engines. The starter is one of the key features of this model: the Command PRO EFI ECH440 starts like a car, with no choking. The closed-loop electronic fuel injection system is also said to be highly fuel-efficient. In addition, the EFI diagnostic software provides quick and easy troubleshooting to minimise downtime.
