“So your
telling me the government did NOT buy NISSAN’s for the Federal Fleet because of
the IRAN issue.” From a
phone conversation
Then WHY did
the DOE use the Treasury bank to give NISSAN a loan for over 1 billion dollars “if”
they knew NISSAN deals with terrorist?
"In view
of the current political situation, we have ... once again extensively
reassessed this business relationship. As a result, we are restructuring our
business activities with Iran," chief executive Dieter Zetsche told a
shareholders' meeting.
In concrete terms, Daimler said this meant it would sell its 30-percent stake in the Iranian Diesel Engine Manufacturing company and withdraw an application to export commercial vehicles for civilian use to Iran.
"In general, our business activities with Iran will now be limited to meeting our existing contractual obligations and continuing our cooperation with established customers," Zetsche said. http://www.thelocal.de/money/20100414-26539.html

GSA adds electric cars to
federal fleet; many more to come
May 25, 2011 Did they EVER get Leafs
or is Los Angeles different?
The federal government's
automotive fleet is going green and high tech.
The
Los Angeles Times
reports that the government has just bought 116 electric cars to be distributed
to 20 agencies around the country. The cars include Chevrolet Volts, Nissan
Leafs and Think Cities. (Think is a maker of electric cars based in Norway.)
The
purchase is the next big step in the government's adoption of advanced vehicle
technologies, said Martha Johnson, administrator of the General Services
Administration, as quoted in the Times.
"It
furthers the administration's goal of putting 1 million advanced vehicles on
the road by 2015, and it represents a significant targeted investment in the
next generation of automotive technology," she said.
