It’s part of a joint effort by Chevrolet and the National Fire Protection Association, which is funded by a $4.4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, to educate emergency responders about strategies for dealing with electric-vehicle crashes. ... Detailt »»

Last Updated on Thursday, 26 August 2010 03:32 Written by Mai Chi Thursday, 26 August 2010 03:32

What is the longest-running nameplate in automotive history that’s still kicking it today? Is it the Ford F-Series, the Chevrolet Corvette or maybe the Toyota Land Cruiser? Those nameplates, despite being more than 50 years old each, have nothing on the longevity of the Chevrolet Suburban, which just reached its 75th anniversary. In celebration, GM has released a Special Diamond Edition  Suburban.  The 1936 Chevrolet Suburban Carryall was fairly innovative for its time, featuring an all-steel... Detailt »»

Ambient lighting is the soft illumination around the center console, door handles and pulls, cupholders and sometimes completely across the dash and in the footwells.  Typically, ambient lighting is seen as a purely cosmetic feature, but it may also increase a driver’s perceived safety and quality of the car, according to a new study conducted by BMW and the Lighting... Detailt »»

Last Updated on Friday, 13 August 2010 12:03 Written by Ngọc Ánh Friday, 13 August 2010 12:03
