Audi 'won't launch its own eco sub-brand'

Ben Pulman, 17 July 2008 17:42

BMW has Efficient Dynamics, Mercedes has BlueEfficiency and Audi has… what? On the surface, Audi seems to have missed the green boat entirely, having not created an eco-brand to act as an environmentally friendly halo for its mainstream range. Audi says this isn’t the case; it’s not late to the party – it’s not coming at all. Surely it’s just ...

No you haven’t been smoking something - this really is a Lotus made from hemp. Called the Eco Elise, Lotus will unveil thus eco-friendly concept car at the London motor show later this month. The car is supposed to take Lotus founder Colin Chapman’s ethos of ‘performance through lightweight’ to the next level, using sustainable materials to create an Elise ...

London's £25 congestion charge scrapped

Ben Pulman, 08 July 2008 09:30

The UK's £25 congestion charge is no more following a consent order that legally brings a formal end to any court proceedings between Porsche, Transport for London and the London mayor. In his pre-election plans Boris Johnson had always stood against the proposed charge – a huge hike from today's £8-a-day charge. Once in power, Johnson’s legal team advised him ...

The £25 London congestion charge for gas guzzlers is likely to be scrapped within the next few weeks, CAR Online has learned. A spokesman for Transport for London (TfL) said it ‘wasn’t expecting to implement’ previous mayor Ken Livingstone’s proposed increases planned from 27 October 2008. That means the judicial review filed against TfL and the London mayor could also ...

Ben Pulman, 03 April 2008 10:14

Porsche has officially filed a judicial review challenge against the London congestion charge increase. It follows TfL and the London mayor’s rejection of Porsche’s request for changes to the proposed £25-a-day charge. London mayor Ken Livingstone and TfL will now have 21 days to acknowledge the filing and a further 35 days to ready their defence. A judge will then decide ...

Lotus Low CO2 test car (2008): first ride CAR review

4.5

Ben Pulman, 18 March 2008 08:30

Lotus is a name you associate with sports cars from Norfolk. And in our eco-conscious times the light weight of the Elise et al makes Hethel's cars an increasingly environmentally friendly proposition for the sporting driver. But what about the rest of us who need to transport a family of four, or can’t afford a lithe little Elise? Lotus Engineering, ...

Porsche vs London mayor: latest

Ben Pulman, 11 March 2008 17:23

Porsche is on a collision course with the authorities planning London’s proposed £25-a-day congestion charge – and it emerged today that the two parties could end up in court. Lawyers acting for TfL and the mayor’s office have rejected the sports car maker’s request for changes to the tax, which is set to treble from today’s £8 charge. Porsche said ...

Hyundai will unveil a concept for an i30 MPV at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2008, as well as a new range of production-ready environmentally friendlier cars. The six-seater concept, dubbed HED-5, will apparently showcase ‘a new level of versatility combined with exceptional fuel economy’. It’s expected to reach production within two years, with i30 underpinnings and engines, and ...

Chrysler’s electric car trio

Ben Pulman, 04 December 2007 17:17

I see that Chrysler hasn’t picked up on the 4x4 backlash yet… Indeed, but Chrysler is working hard to prove that it’s not dead yet, and its latest offerings are three electric concept cars that will debut in Detroit at the start of 2008. And like nearly every concept these days all three are supposedly eco-friendly, with each car featuring ...

Mercedes' new E-class scooped

Ben Pulman, 09 October 2007 09:39

Merc's new E-class arrives in 2009, and should be very, very clean. Merc's Bluetec technology, which squirts urea (basically the toxins found in your pee) into the exhaust to cut NOx emissions dramatically, should be available on all its diesels. The petrol engines will gradually get more and more of the technology first seen in the F700 concept car at ...
