General Motor Corp., an American automaker, plans to have an ambitious campaign to give its Chevrolet brand an environmental image. The company seeks to hold this plan to compete with the hybrid-master Toyota.

According to leading environmental activists at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the competition will be a tough sell. The idea has made Dan Becker, environmental consultant and longtime director of the Sierra Club’s global warming project, laugh. He said, “GM’s an environmental pariah… They have zero credibility as an environmental leader.”

Mark LaNeve, GM vice president for sales, service and marketing, is well-versed that the company possesses a bad reputation on the environment. Thus, the new marketing campaign shall be the first step in a long-term attempt to alter the image.

LaNeve mentioned that GM will be focusing on fuel efficiency, alternative fuels, hybrids on vehicles sold now as well as the Volt extended-range electric vehicle expected to go on sale in 2010. The company will also have a fleet of 100 zero-emission hydrogen fuel-cell Chevrolet Equinox SUVs tested by consumers in 2008.

Acknowledging the fact that the attempt will take a breakthrough vehicle like the Volt to change Chevrolet’s image, LaNeve said, “We are going to offer solutions for our company, the consumer, America and the environment.”

Considering that the world’s largest automaker Toyota is the one that dominates the hybrid market with its popular Prius, GM realizes that they are in long-term project. But, they know the challenge can be even tougher.

Becker said, “Most of the campaign’s claims are bunk” knowing that the E85 ethanol-gasoline blend key to GM’s claims is unavailable in California, he said, “They don’t have any credibility on these issues.”

In the campaign, Chevrolet will be touted with “Gas-friendly to gas-free” slogan. Chevrolet general manager Ed Peper said, “It’s critical to our brand that providing fuel solutions be part of our image… This is certainly not business as usual. Chevrolet really is changing at its foundation of how we power America.”

Jim Kliesch, senior engineer in the Union of Concerned Scientists’ clean vehicles program, said that GM needs more than a nifty slogan to change its image with environmental groups. He said, “Evaluating an automaker’s environmental performance based on an ad campaign is like judging how well somebody sings based on what kind of shoes they wear.”

Kliesch has given credit to GM as the American automaker began selling hybrid full-size trucks, including a Chevrolet Silverado pickup, and its development efforts on the Volt and fuel cells. But, he said, the automaker is lacking efforts against high fuel-economy standards.

Kliesch said, “It’s important to support policies to reduce carbon dioxide and raise fuel efficiency… GM and other automakers are lobbying against these standards. That does not jibe with the message they’re trying to send.”

Despite the criticism, GM is eager to pursue the campaign. LaNeve said that Chevrolet will be a leading environmental brand and “We want to be seen as the solution, not part of the problem.”

So from now on, Chevrolet vehicles are expected to be sustained with not just quality Chevy floor mats, but features that will provide benefits for the environment.

Living with the utilitarian Chevy S 10 has been a fact of life since its introduction in 1981 as a 1982 model. This compact pickup lasted as the top small truck in Chevy’s stable of vehicles for 22 years until it was replaced for 2004 by the Chevy Colorado. Today, there are still countless numbers of the little truck on America’s highways and byways.

Officially classed as a compact pickup, the Chevy S 10 ran side-by-side with the GMC version known as the S 15 (and later, as the Syclone) for a time. The S 10 itself took over the small truck duties from the Chevy Luv, which was just an Isuzu KB with the Chevy bowtie emblem on the grill and a few minor cosmetic changes. Born as a result of the oil shocks of the 1970s, the S 10 was an effort by Chevy to improve fuel economy in its trucks.

From that search for a fuel-sipping alternative to the gaz-guzzlers of the time, the S 10 came forth. Its debut as a 1982 model showed the promise that was inherent in the truck — which was a regular cab 2-door version, though crew and extra-cab models would evolve eventually. The S 10 also beat Ford to the 2-door SUV market, becoming the Blazer S 10, though no 4-door would be available until 1990.

General Motors, the parent of Chevrolet, began to put out a number of small trucks and SUVs beginning in 1982. The S 10 itself was a well-liked and mechanically proficient model for well over 25 years, and for a time was a favorite of backyard do-it-yourself wrench types due to its relatively straightforward engine/transmission setup.

Engines in the Chevy S 10 have been of the 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder variety for as long as it was around. The initial 4 that was offered was a carryover engine from the Luv. Back then, the 84 horses the engine offered was considered fairly good, along with the 101 pounds-feet of torque. Again, for 1982, there was not much complaining from a public used to truly mundane engine performance due to environmental engine controls.

Chevy also offered a 2. 4 liter V6 optional engine from the start and through 1985. It had a 2-barrel carburetor that helped to up engine outpower to 115 horses and added 148 pounds feet of torque to the mix. This gave the little truck a bit more off-the-line power. There was even a diesel engine from ‘83 to ‘85, though its 58 horses and 98 pound-feet quickly doomed it to irrelevance.

Over the life of the S 10, Chevy continued to offer both 4 and 6 cylinder plants and also worked to add more horses and more torque as the truck matured. Originally offered with a normally-aspirated fuel-feeder setup, Chevy eventually tossed the carburetor for variants of a fuel injection system, including sequential port, multi-port and throttle body set-ups. The Chevy S 10 also featured 3 and 4-speed trannies in the first generation (up through ‘93) and even a Borg Warner manual in 5-speed dress.

The second-generation S 10 that ran from 1994 up through 2004 added to the fun, with even more 2-wheel or 4-wheel drive models, larger and more powerful engines and even an SS package with a hot 4. 3 liter V6 engine that put out from 180 to 195 horsepower. It had lowered suspension, 16-inch wheels and other cosmetic changes and was only available in a regular cab version. It was discontinued in 1998.

The Chevy S 10 is still a ubiquitous sight on the roads, highways and trails of North America. It was an extremely popular little truck, and came to be thought of as a vital part of Chevy’s effort to bring reliability and economy to the truck segment in the company’s lineup. As a chord in the Chevy ‘Heartbeat of America’ theme’s music, it played its role well.

Trucks, like that of Chevrolet or Chevy, carry loads of work most of the time. These bulky and powerful vehicles are often used for hauling, loading, collecting, and dispatching, among others, of raw materials in the industrial scene. These Chevy giants make use of the steering system, suspension, the brakes and the hydraulic systems to optimize the stability. Another part, however, that works over time for a Chevy truck to run at its best is the Chevy Radiator.

From the General Motors Corporation, Chevrolet boasts of Chevy Radiator to help optimize the performance of vehicles especially the trucks. Situated behind a vehicle’s grille, the Radiator has to double its effort to meet the demands of the truck which is mainly in its engine. The radiator holds the responsibility of keeping the engine’s temperature constant all the the time by transferring thermal energy from one medium to another. This process of constant cooling and heating done by the radiator allows the regulation in the temperature.

Since the work is a bit heavy for Chevy Trucks, engines doubling its effort may result to overheating. In this day and age, gasoline still has a lot of room for improvement, like its efficiency to turn chemical energy into mechanical power. Most of the time, the energy coming from the gasoline of trucks is converted into heat and cooling the heat in order to avoid overheating is another responsibility of the radiator. This auto part makes the cooling possible by dispersing the heat absorbed by the radiator to the air.

The system under the hood together with the exterior parts plays a very vital part that contribute greatly to the efficiency of the vehicle’s operation and safety. For almost 96 years in the automobile industry, Chevrolet continuous to manufacture auto parts that are of best quality, like that of the Chevy Radiator, to achieve optimum performance in its trucks.

Drill here, drill now! The Republican drum beat is increasing with the addition of Sarah Palin to the ticket. She knows oil and in fact as the Republicans say, she can spell ENERGY! So can most seven year olds. The case for the electric car is becoming more and more of an election issue. So while Republicans say drill for mroe oil, Democrats are saying put more air in the tires. But, let’s look at one of the alternatives in electric cars.  

The VOLT has been talked about coming to market in 2010; however, recent pictures of one coming out from under a tarp and doing a test run has people talking.

Chevy has devoted alot of time, research, and money to this project. Over 200 engineers and 50 designers are working on the Volt alone, and another 400 are working on related subsystems and electric components. That’s how important it is, and that’s how much stock they place in the future of extended-range electric vehicles like the Chevy Volt.

The extended-range electric vehicle is no longer just a rumor. Tremendous pressure has been put on design and engineering resources to make the vehicle a reality. The Concept Chevy Volt, with its revolutionary E-Flex Propulsion System, will be different than any previous electric vehicle because it will use a lithium-ion battery with a variety of range-extending onboard power sources, including gas and, in some vehicles, E85 ethanol to recharge the battery while driving.

When it comes to plugging in, the Volt will be designed to use a common 110–volt household plug. For someone who drives less than 40 miles a day, Chevy Volt will use zero gasoline and produce zero emissions. For longer trips, Chevy Volt’s range-extending power source kicks in to recharge the lithium-ion battery pack as required.

Can I order one tomorrow?

So you’ve just bought your brand new Chevy GMC, Chevy Avalanche, or Chevy Colorado, and you’re rolling down the street on a beautiful day with the windows down. That new truck smell is a pleasing scent that goes along well with the comfortable seats and the feel of a nice big truck. You hear the purr of the engine and turn up some of your favorite tunes in the premium stock system that came with your new kicking Chevy. However, there is something slightly off, something missing. What could it be? The stock speakers sound decent but there’s just no boom to it. What you’re missing is a sub woofer and the truck speaker box to go with it. Adding a sub woofer and sub enclosure to your brand new Chevy GMC will give you the bass that you need when driving down the road. High quality sub woofer boxes along with the right amp and subwoofer can bring out an entirely new level of sound in your Chevy. Stock speakers from the manufacturer can sound decent, and even perform well in trucks like the Chevy Avalanche and Chevy Colorado, but there is always something left to be desired. Many professional car audio companies have the high quality products you need to get that extra punch out of your truck. You’ll be on the road and hearing that boom out of your system in no time.

Taking time to pick out the right amp, sub woofer, and sub enclosure for your Chevy GMC, Chevy Avalanche, or Chevy Colorado is of utmost importance. There are many things to consider before installing any type of system in your Chevy. One major problem that often comes into light is the notion of space when putting a system in a truck. Seeing as though there isn’t much room in a truck for a sub woofer and amp, it’s important to choose a sub enclosure that is right for your Chevy Avalanche or Chevy GMC. That’s why choosing top of the line subwoofer boxes that are designed to fit your model of Chevy whether it’s a Chevy GMC, Chevy Colorado, Chevy Silverado, or Chevy Avalanche is your best choice. A truck speaker box will save space in your truck for leg room, supplies, or anything else while still providing the best sound for your system. Not only will it save space, but because it is designed specifically for your type of truck, it will blend in and look like part of the original vehicle.

The key to getting amazing sound out of your sub woofer and amp is matching them up with the right sub enclosure. If you buy with a professional company, many of their amplifiers and sub woofers are top name brands that are fitted with high quality subwoofer boxes flawlessly. Only the best materials should be used for sub enclosures which includes medium density fiberboard to keep down resonation and create a remarkable bass sound and feel from your system.

Don’t skimp out on great sound for your Chevy GMC. By installing a high quality sound system you’ll not only enjoy your brand new truck even more, but you’ll also increase the resale value. Kick up your Chevy a notch and grab a sub woofer, amplifier, and truck speaker box that you’ll truly love.
