At the Detroit Motor Show a significant new introduction of the Toyota Prius for 2010 was made. This car has been leading the wave of Green and environmental conscious fuels saving that has become so prevalent with the failing of America’s past administration. We found it interesting to see what Toyota does to improve on its leadership role:
Fisker Automotive, Inc., a green American premium car company, today announced that General Motors has been selected to supply, through its on-highway integrator Powertrain Integration LLC, the gasoline engine that will be used in the Fisker Karma, Fisker Automotive’s new Extended Range Hybrid Electric Vehicle. GM’s Powertrain organization will supply the gasoline engine that generates electricity when the driver has exceeded the 50 mile electric-only range.
The 2.0 direct injection, turbo-charged 4-cylinder Ecotec gasoline engine will deliver 260 horsepower. Fisker Automotive is also considering the purchase of several additional GM vehicle components to enhance the Karma.
