Engineers Design Affordable, Clean Car Using Existing Technology and Fuels

March 1, 2007 -- WASHINGTON – Automotive engineers at the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) today unveiled a minivan design that shows automakers can build affordable vehicles with existing technology that would meet or exceed global warming pollution standards for cars and trucks adopted by California and 10 other states. Automakers are currently fighting these standards in court.

The minivan, dubbed the UCS Vanguard, features off-the-shelf engine, transmission and fueling systems and other technologies that would save consumers money, maintain vehicle safety and performance, and cut global warming pollution by more than 40 percent. All of the technologies in the Vanguard are in vehicles on the road today, but automakers have yet to combine them all in one single package.

Boy, I sure hope that these guys don't get hung up on stopping work when they feel that the global warming problem is under control and forget that the MPG question is really the bigger concern.
