Mount Holly,NC,USA -The Guardian (UK), by Suzanne Goldenberg -7 March 2012: -- President pushes energy-efficient auto agenda in North Carolina truck factory... Barack Obama stopped by a North Carolina to announce $1bn in tax credits and grants for alternative-energy cars and trucks... The Obama's factory tour was intended to spur the development of a new generation of clean, fuel-neutral cars: electric, natural gas, and alternative fuels... The Daimler plant is working to produce 18-wheeler trucks that use only half as much gas as current models. Long-haul trucks make up just 4% of all vehicles on the roads, according to the White House, but suck up 20% of all transport fuel in the country... The factory also makes hydrogen-powered trucks... Obama is also asking Congress to expand the tax credit for advanced vehicles to $10,000 from $7,500, and to all fuels – including natural gas, which is not covered under the programme...Labels: green trucks
