Maybe you saw him on Letterman talking about it. Perhaps you’ve seen it on the news. If you haven’t heard of it, you’re in for a treat. Neil Young, the geezer-rock specialist, has put together a team to build a car that can get 100mpg and travel in style. The basis is a 1959 Lincoln Continental Mark IV convertible.
Yep, a classic Lincoln becomes the framework for a radical re-think in hybrid design technology. Young says he wanted to do it with a real car, not some plastic pile of junk... Read Full Story
If you’ve ever been to India, then chances are you’ve seen the ubiquitous rickshaw - the human-powered transportation device that seems to be on every city street. Rickshaws provide transportation for millions of people in India, but they certainly don’t do rickshaw drivers any good - imagine riding a bicycle uphill - all day - and you’ll start getting a semblance of what daily life is like for millions of Indian rickshaw drivers.
The new soleckshaw solar-powered rickshaw hopes to change... Read Full Story

Or thereabouts.
In July of 2007, the Solar Taxi embarked on a trip of 32,000 miles around the world. The car is completely solar powered and took a few more than 80 days to traverse the planet and didn’t do all of it on solar, but that doesn’t make headlines.
The car had to plug into the electrical grid during the winter in Poland in order to keep moving and made abysmal pace thanks to all the celebrities and politicians who wanted to hitch a ride along the way to get a photo op. All... Read Full Story
The province of Ontario in Canada is the most populous province in the country and is finally following B.C. And Quebec in permitting low-speed vehicles (LSVs) on public roads. Canada’s LSV class is similar to the U.S. “NEV” (Neighborhood Electric Vehicle) class recognized in most states.
A recent study published in November raised several safety concerns regarding LSVs and how they are operated in Canada. Based on that study, safety standards and rules have been adopted. Additional... Read Full Story
The KAAN, a race car design from Mazda, looks like a combination of a speed boat and a Klingon vessel from Star Trek (with wheels). It’s name is definitely right out of Sci-Fi. Not sure about those yellow tires either. Could be a stealth device.
At any rate, as goofy as it sounds, this car actually looks kind of cool. I don’t expect any of us will ever be driving one, but it could actually find its way to a race track.

A non-profit startup called CalCars has a unique proposal to both save the American auto industry and force them to get on board with plug-in vehicle technology. The plan comes from the company that built the first plug-in Prius, which is so far their main claim to fame.
The plan is pretty simple and straightforward: CalCars wants to get 5 million consumers who’re willing to pony up $10,000 as a deposit on an American-made plug-in hybrid to be delivered by 2012 by the automakers. Further... Read Full Story
I think Treehugger.com is right when they call it the “Econo-Nag” system. It’s a speedometer that changes color according to how you’re driving. Remember the similar systems from Ford and Nissan we’ve talked about before, the Ford system using a similar color indicator and the Subaru using forced feedback on the throttle?
Well, it looks like Honda is in on the act. While this idea is pretty good and I’m sure that all major car companies (that don’t go bankrupt) will be sporting... Read Full Story
