The electric vehicle revolution gets all the headlines, and perhaps for good reason. What nobody mentions is that the global ...

With all the recent emphasis on electric vehicles, we often overlook the technology that still powers most cars on the road today. The internal combustion engine (ICE) has been at the heart of the ...

You've heard the narrative: the era of internal combustion is on its way out, set to be replaced by cars with batteries and maybe, someday, hydrogen fuel cells. But the market isn’t moving in a ...

Back when we posted about GM's efforts to send a vehicle back to the moon utilizing some of the same electric powertrain technology as the Hummer EV, a user on our Facebook page stated that this made ...

A better mousetrap? Even now, as electrification seems poised to end the internal combustion engine’s long run as the transportation motivator of choice, enterprising tinkerers continue to propose ...
