Modern
Electric Car Era Begins November at the LA Auto
Show Mass-Production Electric Vehicles Become
Available to
Consumers ***LOS
ANGELES - September 21, 2010 - A new era of modern,
electric drive transportation begins at the Los
Angeles Auto Show this November. Worldwide, nearly
all major automakers have announced plans for an
electric car in the next few years and Los Angeles
will receive the first arrivals in the next several
months. ***Auto
manufacturers are looking to Los Angeles to lead
the charge in early electric vehicle adoption, much
as Los Angeles continues to lead in hybrid vehicles
sales. Since Los Angeles is recognized as a
trendsetter for the automotive industry, it makes
sense that at least a half-dozen electric vehicles
will make news during the LA Auto Show Press Days,
Nov. 17 and 18. ***The
first electric cars to kick-off this new era are
the Chevrolet Volt and Nissan Leaf, expected to
arrive in November and December of this year,
respectively. ***Several
other electric vehicles will debut at the LA Auto
Show including the North American, production
version of Mitsubishi's i-MiEV and Toyota's RAV4 EV
concept. Expected to be one of the next electric
vehicles to hit dealerships, the i-MiEV model
debuting at the LA Show will be wider and will also
include an upgraded list of standard and optional
interior features to make it more attractive to the
U.S. buyer. ***Toyota's
RAV4 EV will use Tesla's lithium-ion battery packs,
which will be modified to become more aerodynamic.
Toyota has been testing prototypes of the car,
which is scheduled to hit the market in
2012. ***"After
years of anticipation, electric vehicles are
finally here," said Andy Fuzesi, LA Auto Show
general manager. "It may take years for electric
vehicles to be accepted broadly, but it's
undeniable that an electric era has officially
begun." ***For
the first time ever, the coveted Green Car of the
Year® award nominees will feature electric
vehicles. The focus of the Green Car of the
Year® award is to recognize significant
environmental achievement in a production vehicle.
Having electric vehicles qualify for the
prestigious award is further evidence that the
modern electric car era is finally beginning in
earnest. The winner will once again be
unveiled at an LA Auto Show press conference on
Nov. 18. ***Significant
announcements about infrastructure are also
expected at the show. Specifically, one of the
region's major utility providers, Southern
California Edison, will address important questions
about the costs of operating this new generation of
plug-in vehicle. Also, PEP charging stations will
be on hand to demonstrate what is required for both
in-home and commercial charging of electric
vehicles. *About
the Los Angeles Auto
Show ***The
2010 LA Auto Show will feature at least 20 world
debuts and more than 20 North American debuts.
Press Days, Nov. 17 and 18, will feature more than
25 press conferences from manufacturers around the
globe. To receive the latest show news and

Thank
you, America! A legacy of friendship that endures
today between Germany and America Thank you,
America! A legacy of friendship that endures today
between Germany and
America
Los Angeles - "Thank You
America" was the theme for two big events. Number
One: the Berlin Air Lift, and two: allowing foreign
auto imports. Attending the LA Auto Show was a
special event for publisher of TVI, Josie Cory.
Both events featured not
only roundtable discussions, and film footage,
explaining the purpose, but also the importance of
their celebration.
The Berlin Airlift
Commemoration of the 60th Anniversary of the Berlin
Airlift, took
place at the Goethe Institute in conjunction with
the the Consulate General of the Federal Republic
of Germany in Los Angeles.
The Honorable Tom
LaBonge, Councilmember, 4th District of Los Angeles
offered welcoming remarks,
before
the showing of some Berlin airlift film
footage.
The discussion panel
members were: Ret. USAF Col. Gail S. Halvorsen,the famed "Candy Bomber" of the Berlin
Airlift;Professor Michael Meyer, CSU
Northridge, Department of History; Ursula
Krummel, Berlin historical eyewitness, 1948;
Dorothea Schoene, Berlin contemporary
eyewitness, and Moderator, Bernd Desinger, Director
of the Goethe-Institut Los Angeles. Also in
attendance were Consul General, Christian Stock,
and three U.S. pilots of the Berlin Airlift
endeavor.
General Lucius
Clay was deputy to General Dwitght D. Eisenhower,
commander in chief of the U.S. Forces in Europe and
military governor of U.S. Zone, Germany. He is
considered the 'father" of the Berlin
airlift.
The Berlin Airlift began on June 24,
1948 when the Soviets sealed off the western
portion of Berlin controlled by American, British
and French forces.
In response, the US and her Allies took
to the skies on June 26, flying in provisions for
West Berlin's grateful residents, an effort that
grew into the Berlin Airlift. In what was one of
the greatest humanitarian efforts of all time, they
saved more than 2 million men, women and children
from hunger and cold.
In one amazing day about 1,400 planes
carried in nearly 13,000 tons over a 24-hour
period. That was an average of one plane landing
every 62 seconds.
On May 12, 1949, the Berlin Airlift,
ended after 322 days when the Soviets gave in and
reopened access to Berlin.
This heroic effort changed the course of
history and laid the foundation for a legacy of
friendship that endures today between Germany and
America. CLICK

04h/The
All-Wheel Association - New
Leadership
At its last general meeting on 09 November 2008, a
new leadership team was elected and Kurt Sigl
appointed to first CEO (erster Vorsitzende) of the
All-Wheel Association. He is also chief off-road
training instructor.
10
Golden Rules for Quad/ATV
Drivers
The
DAV (German all-wheel Association) recommends, in
cooperation with the renowned ATV / Quad
manufacturers and dealers following 10 TOP rules.
These were drawn up in a working group,
because it is so far still no uniform regulations
for Germany. Do you trust any dealer who sold you
as an argument for driving a ATV / quad without a
helmet or protective clothing offers. To protect
your own life, they should be wearing helmets and
clothing itself as an indispensable requirement
imposed. Who does not, harms not only himself but
also the image of all other ATV / quad-riders. For
this reason, the German four-wheel Association
published a brochure with the top 10 rules.
