Two of the greatest names in the automotive world have shared expertise to create a new generation vehicle.
British engineers Ricardo is supporting America’s Winnebago to developed an all-electric zero emissions prototype eRV which will form the basis for a new production model in six months based on the latest Ford Transit EV, which has range of about 160 miles.
Just 12% of respondents to a North Wales media survey backed the incoming 20mph speed limit from 17 September.
Welsh Conservatives say the new limit has met overwhelming opposition and will cost the Welsh economy £4.5 Billion.
Sales of new petrol and diesel cars will dramatically decline over the next six years, at least a year before the Government’s ban on them takes effect, claims New Automotive.
The greener motoring group said there has been a steady growth in evs, including vans, and some bigger lorries, but electric motorbikes have struggled.
On-line stock auditing for dealers can save time and be greener, says specialist adviser V12 Vehicle Finance.
Craig Mooney, Head of Stock Funding Options at V12 Vehicle Finance, said,“We know that car dealers, especially independent traders, have to prioritise their time around sales and customer service. While auditing may be an essential exercise, we understand that having an auditor arrive on site can be disruptive and take the focus away from trading and that’s why we’ve pioneered our Flex Auditing system. Dealers can now choose to do their auditing as and when it suits them, with the option of delegating the process to other staff as and when required.”
Commenting on the news that according to International Passenger Survey data, there were 33% fewer visitors to Wales in 2022 compared with 2019, Welsh Conservative Shadow Tourism Minister, Tom Giffard MS said, “Labour Ministers in the Senedd are pressing ahead with their toxic tourism tax and other self-destructive, sector-harming policies.
“At this crucial time, the Welsh tourism industry needs to be enhanced, not taxed into oblivion. Tourism is a vital sector of our economy, supporting 1-in-7 Welsh jobs.”
More than one in five vans (21%) across FleetCheck’s user base don’t meet the requirements of London’s Ultra Low Emissions Zone, the company is reporting.
Peter Golding, managing director at the fleet management software specialist, said the statistic provided an indication of how many businesses could potentially be affected by the extension of the ULEZ at the end of August and will have to pay for every daily journey inside the zone.
