What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.
With twin electric motors powering this new-age delivery trike to a top speed of 50 mph and nearly 40 miles of range, Simon Williams’ Deliver-E concept is ready to – um – deliver the goods. Williams is aiming his Deliver-E specifically at letter carriers (posties!) in his native Australia, to replace the CT110 Hondas currently [...]
Electricity and water don’t usually mix well (toaster + bathtub = problem), but this is just a concept anyway, and concept cars are allowed to take liberties with little things like “physics” and “reality” now and again. That’s especially the case when the concept looks as drop-dead-sexy as the Manta. The Manta amphibious vehicle concept [...]
I often rail against the needlessly complicated and long supply chains that source today’s automobiles from around the globe. The recent double tragedy in Japan of the earthquake and tsunami highlights just how easily that chain can be broken. First off, my heart goes out to those who have lost family and friends in this [...]
Mark Webber very nearly drove his Red Bull RB6 to the 2010 Formula 1 world championship last year – barely losing out to his teammate Sebastian Vettel in the final round of the series. This year, Mark and Sebastian are considered the early favorites, and their new car, the Adrian Newey designed RB7, is the [...]
Once upon a time, most cars on the road were rear-wheel drive. These days, not so much, but BMW still believes in turning the back wheels. Video of upcoming i3 MegaCity shows the electric car drifting that powdah. BMW is spinning off a new brand of electric, fuel efficient vehicles dubbed the “i” brand. The [...]
The Mercedes tag line is “The Best or Nothing”, and that seems to sum up why the German automaker won’t bring its new, super-efficient gas engines to America. Quite simply, our gas is too dirty. It should come as no surprise to learn that Europe and the U.S. has different fuel standards. I never realized [...]
File this one in your “ideas I should have had, but didn’t” files, because Valvoline has introduced a new line of high-quality motor oil that is 50% recycled with no adverse impact (the company claims) on performance. Valvoline’s new oil products seem to be quit a bit more than simple green-washing of what is a [...]
There are so many clever ideas playing out in the Ventile concept I honestly don’t know where to start. Should I start with the “wheel-within-a-wheel” rims that place an electricity-generating wind turbine at each corner of the car? Keep in mind, this a concept that could be used on electric bikes (below), but also electric [...]
