is introducing a new Active Park Assist technology on its 2010 Lincoln

in mid-2009 as an option, Active Park Assist uses an ultrasonic-based sensing
system and Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) to position the vehicle for
parallel parking, calculate the optimal steering angle and quickly steer the vehicle

HEADLINES Sanyo,
Volkswagen developing lithium-ion battery systems SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. and
German automaker VOLKSWAGEN Group have agreed to start co-development of next
generation Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery systems for Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV).
TOKYO(AP)
Toyota is struggling to keep up with booming demand for its hybrid vehicles because
it can't make enough of the batteries that are key parts in the hit "green" cars,
a senior executive said Monday. The crunch is likely to remain the rest of the
year, as battery production can't be boosted until next year, said Toyota Motor
Corp. Executive Vice President Takeshi Uchiyamada, who oversees production at
Japan's top automaker. "Hybrids are selling so well we are doing all we can to
increase production," he told The Associated Press. "We need new lines." Battery
production is critical in determining how many hybrid vehicles Toyota can produce,
Uchiyamada said at the company's Tokyo office. |
