“My daughter-in-law sent me a text and says, ‘Is your water bill normally $1,902?’” Julian said. 

Electrification is the justification for DS Automobiles’ partnership with Kew Gardens for the Chihuly sculpture exhibition. DS used the launch event of the DS 3 Crossback to also reveal its plans for its ‘haute couture electric’ drivetrain, to be fitted in what will be badged as its ‘E-Tense’ models, scheduled for commercial release later this year.

“Could building a Corvette SUV work for General Motors? It certainly could but venturing down this path would be a risk for the American car manufacturer and unless Lutz knows something we don’t, it probably isn’t on the agenda.” You guys are fkn clueless

The differences behind the wheels of the 2500 HD models largely comes down to the transmissions. Towing about 12,000 pounds uphill with the gas engine at an altitude of about 7,500 feet, the 6-speed has to hold gears longer and work harder to get the max 464 pound-feet of torque at 4,000 rpm. While coasting on the way down that same grade in tow haul mode, engine braking kept it at about 4,500 rpm until it leveled out. 

"Even though it doesn’t replace 100 percent of our diesel fuel, it really starts to make an impact," Tallaksen said. "And that’s what we want to see."

The Lowdown: Tokyo has been a city of cyclists for many years, not because of the infrastructure or the official planning narrative, but rather because of its people. In the world’s largest metropolis, millions and millions of people bike, using their Mamachari utility bikes to carry goods, children, and themselves to the store, school, or train stations. Tokyo remains part of the cohort of the world’s best cycling cities this time around but has slipped a number of points while other cities push harder and innovate with greater strides.

Of the million ways a parent is completely unprepared for the death of a child, this one must be among the most terrible. In the midst of a grief that blots out every other sensation and emotion, you have to pick out a grave site. How are you supposed to do that? What kind of a grave would have appealed to an eighteen-year-old boy who liked BMWs, the Red Sox, and Abercrombie cologne? The cemetery director presents you with a map of available plots, and you walk over, wondering what you’re supposed to feel to know this is the right one. Would he have liked the view? What will it be like to visit this place every week for the rest of your life?

The battle against Brixton also brings Hobbs and Shaw to Samoa, where Hobbs reunites with his mother and four brothers, who run an illegal chop shop–turned–legitimate family business. For Johnson, who is half black and half Samoan, exploring Hobbs’ heritage was a chance to introduce audiences to his own; he’s particularly proud of a scene where Hobbs leads a pre-battle performance of the Siva Tau, a Samoan war dance. “On a personal level, it’s just so gratifying,” he says, “because for the first time ever in the history of Hollywood, we’re showcasing my culture. So there’s a tremendous amount of pride.”

In June 2014, DS Automobiles launched as an automotive company in its own right, unveiling its first car – the DS 5 – at the Geneva Motor Show in 2015. Now, DS Automobiles is stepping out further from under the Citroën umbrella. DS cars will solely be available from what the company is calling its exclusive ’boutique-style’ DS Stores and DS Salons, located in cities around the world and offering prospective customers a bespoke service when choosing a new car.

Space, aviation and defense systems are going to be the leading adopters of additive manufacturing and if the Paris Air Show is any indication, this way of making parts is going to become more and more relevant at all levels. Today it remains a tiny niche, with most production parts going into space (satellites and rockets) and defense, while mass production for aviation is still a few years away. But the effects of digitalization in the supply chain are already quite clear and there certainly is no going back, just going up.

Currently OXE Diesel models cover the 125 hp to 200 hp power ranges and recent sales successes include the sale of nine 150 hp engines to Scotland’s Flugga Boats, which builds rugged RIBs designed to stand up to the harsh sea conditions around the Shetland Islands.
