Volvo commits to plug-in diesel hybrids in 2012

By Tim Pollard Motor Industry 24 September 2009 16:53 Volvo will launch its first hybrid production cars in two years' time. The 2012 replacement for the V70 - which won't necessarily be a conventional estate - will have a premium range-topper powered by a plug-in diesel-electric powertrain. CAR's out in Sweden trying out the tech and today we drove a prototype for the new electric Volvo green car.

Front differential, front camera added for the 2012 Ford Raptor

A front camera for a better view of rock crawling and a new Torsen front differential are the key changes for the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor. Those additions will help even the most extreme off-road drivers. Additionally, the truck will have new side-body graphics, a new interior accent color and the option of cooled seats in the luxury package.

AXE WOES

AN ORDINARY car journey almost turned into a horror film on a highway north of the US city of Boston when an axe smashed through the windscreen of a car. Massachusetts State Police say the axe bounced out of a dump truck. A photo was released showing the axe with a corner of its blade stuck in the passenger side of the car's dashboard.
