Rival Ford has offered downsized turbocharged engines for years on its F-150 to improve fuel economy, but now Chevy is taking the concept even further. The standard engine on LT and RST trim levels is a 2.7-liter turbocharged inline-four, making the Silverado the only full-size truck available with a four-cylinder engine. The new engine also features cylinder deactivation, allowing it to shut off two cylinders under light loads to save fuel, and is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Digital Trends drove it and walked away impressed.
JCB’s clean diesel programme has achieved 43% lower carbon emissions from its machines over the past seven years. It has mainly achieved this by improving fuel efficiency, with a resulting reduction in diesel consumption of 2.5 billion litres over that period. In February, Toyota announced that the new powertrains to be used in its two-litre engine vehicles would reduce carbon emissions by 18%. It plans to use the same powertrains in 80% of its models within five years.
I for sure know that I’m not the best driver. Maybe you are. Maybe you’re God’s gift to the driving community, an unholy creation resulting from a one night stand of gene splicing from Mario Andretti, Dale Earnhardt, and Jack Baruth. But I don’t know your driving skills from Adam. And what about that jerk tailgating you 2 feet off your bumper?
It provides critical insights on the market dynamics and will enable strategic decision making for the existing market players as well as those willing to enter the market. The following are the key features of the report:
Thanks for reading this article; you can also get individual chapter wise section or region wise report version like North America, Europe or Asia.

The truck is also said to have issues with updated software. With this kind of risk that came with the truck, if you can’t go for other trucks within the same class then you would rather check if the systems have been updated.
Why is there so much enthusiast hate on electronic driver’s assistance aids such as lane departure warning, blind spot warning, adaptive cruise, front and side cameras, etc?
Several companies like B&M and TCI offer kits to do so, but it is a trial-and-error effort and requires the pressed-in governor cover to be removed each time to access the governor. Expect to spend half a day or more on this process.
In addition, the base warranty for marine engines from 19 to 60 L in a heavy-duty or medium continuous-duty rating has been extended 1000 hours beyond the previous term, while intermittent-duty coverage for the same engine range has extended 1500 additional hours. Cummins continues to offer optional Encompass coverage, which can provide an additional three years/10,000 hours of coverage to the engine.
New features in the update for the AGC-4 and AGC200 genset controllers allow up to 32 gensets to be handled by one power plant. The update adds a new warm-up sequence after generator breaker synchronisation, which means power will remain at the lowest stage until a pre-set temperature or input is reached. This results in the generator running on a lower load until it has warmed up, bringing the benefits of lower wear and tear and reducing the time taken to reach optimal operating temperature.
The first thing I learned to like about the Traverse was that it seats up to eight with best-in-class maximum cargo space and an impressive listing of standard convenience, storage, and comfort features such as wireless charging and built-in connectivity. As you might expect from a family SUV, there are convenient USB ports in every row.
