Honda confirms hybrid electric car plans

2.5

Tim Pollard, 21 May 2008 09:05

Honda CEO Takeo Fukui today confirmed Honda's plans to build an expanded range of hybrid petrol-electric cars, including a new affordable model and a sports coupe based on the CR-Z concept. It's a signal that Honda won't let Toyota rule the hybrid market with its Prius and planned spin-offs; Fukui said he planned to build a half a million petrol-electric ...

Citroen C-Cactus's green secrets

2.5

Tim Pollard, 17 September 2007 12:52

Citroen C-Cactus: the lowdown Citroen’s C-Cactus concept car on show at Frankfurt signals the start of a programme to investigate simplifying the construction of its cars –stripping out unnecessary weight, complexity and emissions from its everyday hatchbacks and saloons. And it’s not as far flung as it looks. Its designers told CAR Online that this concept wasn’t about the external ...

Hyundai i-Blue

3.5

Guy Bird, 12 September 2007 06:48

Fuel cells, coupes and crossover wagons… The world debut of the i-Blue fuel cell concept headed up a trio of key Hyundai products at the Frankfurt show stand. ‘Spare me another fuel cell concept’ I can almost hear you thinking, but don’t switch off. This one is no theoretical eco powerplant for a fantasy concept but a serious design showcase ...

Daihatsu OFC-1 and HSC

Ben Pulman, 11 September 2007 10:51

It looks remarkably like a Copen… It does indeed, and at 5mm shorter, the same width, and only 45mm higher the OFC-1 is all but identical to the Copen. In fact, it is the new Copen, just not as cute. But perhaps the biggest changes is the switch from a two to a three-piece folding roof. The main roof section ...

Citroen C-Cactus

Tim Pollard, 03 September 2007 06:12

Citroen C-Cactus: the lowdown Get the prickly jokes out of the way now; Citroen is deadly serious about its new C-Cactus. Its risible name was apparently picked - groan - because it's low on consumption like the spiky desert plant... Yes, it's yet another green concept car, designed to showcase a company's commitment to saving the planet. But look past ...

Mini Cooper S gains stop-start (2007) CAR review

4.5

Tim Pollard, 03 September 2007 03:15

Eco hatch Stop-start? Is the Mini doing a little bit of Prius copying? Sort of. Stop-start systems are nothing new (manufacturers have been experimenting for decades) but they certainly have been made fashionable by the hybrid gang, led by the Toyota Prius and Honda Civic Hybrid. It's a simple premise: when stationary, there's no need for thirsty petrol engines to ...

Nissan Mixim

Tim Pollard, 29 August 2007 02:30

Nissan Mixim: the lowdown This outlandish electric sports car will form the centrepiece of Nissan's Frankfurt Motor Show stand. As you can tell from its squashed insect looks, the Mixim is no production car in prick-tease show-off mode. This is a far-flung fantasy on the long-distance radar of Nissan's product planners. Now we've cleared that up, what's the point of ...

Ford Focus ECOnetic

Ben Barry, 28 August 2007 04:52

Car manufacturers will be tripping over themselves to look leaner and greener at next month’s Frankfurt Motor Show. Today Ford throws its hat into the ring with the Focus ECOnetic. Usually when a car manufacturer announces lowered suspension and an aerodynamics kit for its medium-sized hatchback, it goes hand-in-hand with extra power and a GTi badge. Not so Ford, which ...

Honda FCX fuel-cell concept car (2007) CAR review

Ben Oliver, 01 August 2007 02:00

So this is a ‘production fuel cell car’? Can’t find it in the Honda price list… You won’t. California law requires big car makers to offer zero-emission vehicles as part of their line-up, and the hydrogen fuel-cell powered FCX is Honda’s latest. It will hand-build fewer than 100 from 2008 and ‘lease’ them to high-profile or worthy users for a ...

Ford Focus FFV (2007) CAR review

Ben Oliver, 31 July 2007 09:30

Aren’t alternative fuel vehicles meant to look like escapees from Buck Rogers? They used to, but Ford has the right idea. The only difference between this and a conventional Focus is a tiny ‘FFV’ badge on its rump. That's if you strip away the OTT stickers from this promomtional test car, that is; ours wasn't for shrinking violets. It runs ...
