Rapid conversion proves that auto industry need not delay on increasing fuel efficiency and reducing vehicle pollution
LOS ANGELES – Environmental activists will convert a traditional gasoline-electric hybrid to a 100-mpg plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) outside the L.A. Convention Center today. Sponsored by the Freedom From Oil Campaign and performed by the engineers of CalCars.org, the conversion will show that the auto industry could easily meet and surpass standards set by California’s Clean Cars Law, which mandates a 30 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2016.
