Prestone's new formulations have been engineered to reduce fires caused by thermal runaway, prevent corrosion and improve the efficiency of plug-in hybrid vehicles, battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

Nissan is joining ChargeScape, the alliance created by three of its competitors: Ford Motor Co., American Honda Motor Co. and BMW.

While special versions of previous models have kept pace with rival sports cars, the Corvette has never been a supercar contender. The 2025 ZR1 changes that.

It seems counterintuitive: Replacing a simple, trusty, low-tech part with costly sensors to measure oil. But this is why some automakers are going that route.

In electrified vehicles and those with self-driving capabilities, no longer is it the battery's job to just start the engine and to keep the lights on. The 12-volt battery has a direct role in the vehicle's critical safety systems and in reducing emissions of hybrid vehicles.

Tesla builds vehicles faster and with fewer parts, a manufacturing strategy that reduces cost and weight, and requires fewer workers and smaller factories.

While improving electric vehicle range usually focuses on battery pack size, power electronics, curb weight and aerodynamics, a heat pump bolsters EV efficiency, especially in cold weather.

The track record of the Fisker Karma and the early teething troubles of the Fisker Ocean underscore the risks contract manufacturers face when working with startups.

The swoopy two-door is powered by a 3.0-litre turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine and has a nine-speed paddle-shifted automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive.

As tires roll across pavement, the abrasion causes particles of rubber and other substances used to make tires separate. Eventually, these particles end up in air, water and living beings.

Ford's first production-intent off-road electric vehicle, the Mach-E Rally, was unveiled Friday at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in England. Orders open this fall.

Porsche, Stellantis, Ferrari, BMW and other automakers are taking a hard look at carbon neutral e-fuel to extend the life of the internal combustion powertrains in their sports cars and pickups.

GM, Ford, Rivian and Volvo — and other automakers contemplating making the switch — face challenges in designing and engineering their vehicles to be compatible with Tesla's charging network.

While there are no major sheet metal changes for the Mercedes GLA, the interior, exterior and equipment have all been revised, and a mild-hybrid powertrain is standard.

Chevrolet plans to reveal details of the E-Ray Jan. 17, on the car's 70th anniversary, according to a Facebook post that reads: "After 70 years, we're introducing one like none. 01.17.23."
