Vauxhall Pinch An Idea From Bombardier

Others may have too, but I was intrigued to see the review of the new Vauhall Ampera; which is probably best described as a bi-mode car. Or an electric one, with a small petrol engine that cuts in to get you home.

At first sight it looks like a solution to the range problem of an electric car, when you can’t find a means to recharge. The idea is not unique and the Bombardier TRAXX electric locomotive has an auxiliary diesel engine for use when the electricity has failed or is not available.

About This Blog

What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.

But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.

And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
