This is a 144 Volt DC total electric vehicle requiring no gas, oil, antifreeze, exhaust repairs or tune ups.  The vehicle runs at regular highway speeds powered by 12-12 volt trojan lead acid batteries that are charged via conventional 110 volt household electric current, with a built in onboard charger.   Eight batteries in the trunk and four under the hood. The vehicle charges fully in about 8-9 hours on virtually pennies per charge.  Range is about 25-30 miles depending on terrain, speed and weather.  Everything works on the vehicle except for the air conditioning (too much battery drain).  Manual transmission but only requires 2nd gear and reverse without requiring the clutch.  Electric ceramic heater heats the vehicle up instantly in the winter and a excellent operating sunroof cools for the summer.  Nice Sony am/fm cd player with aux input. Built in amp and voltage gauges help to monitor battery drain and charge life.  Conversion was professionally done in 2008 and operates flawlessly.  All the conversion parts easily add up to over $9000.00.  Why pay $45,000 for a Volt or $35,000 for a Leaf.  If you have a desire to be "green" and have a short commute, this electric is for you.

Unifor may establish local union for Toyota's Canadian plants

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

Union tactics apparently translate across borders, as Canada's Unifor may take inspiration from the United Auto Workers' recent move at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, and establish a local for the Toyota factories in Cambridge and Woodstock.
Unifor last attempted to organize the workers at the two factories, which are responsible for production of the Toyota Corolla (above), RAV4 and Lexus RX back in April, but that vote was eventually delayed. According to that report, 3,000 of the two plants' 7,500 employees signed union cards, but that apparently wasn't enough for Unifor to force a vote.
Because of this, the union is looking at the local approach, like what the UAW is attempting with VW.

Toyota, Ford and Honda again top Consumer Reports Car-Brand Perception Survey

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively.
