Each municipality was asked for material covering five topics - an inventory of its passenger vehicle fleet, a list of all out-of-province trips taken by the mayor including cost, an electronic list of payments made by the city for goods and services and a priority list for municipal road repairs. When it came to its vehicle fleet and roads, the city released all the information for free.But its grade dropped when it asked for a $740 fee for payment information, $780 for an account of the mayor's travels and when police requested a $195 fee for Taser data.In addition, it took the city between 22 and 29 days to send information or issue a fee estimate.

In the last 10 years I've written hundreds of Willy's Garage articles about local classic and special-interest vehicles and the folks who love them. I'll continue to cover the classic scene, but beginning this week I'm headed into uncharted territory -- the wonderful world of NEW cars and trucks. Although my editor here at the Free Press, John Sullivan, didn't come right out and say it, I think what he was trying to tell me when he handed over the proverbial keys to the test-vehicle fleet was that it's time for me crawl out from under all the rusty and dusty machines I've been playing with and climb into the driver's seat of some modern metal. If you're looking for enough technical information to help you fall asleep after guzzling a six-pack of Red Bull, my reviews likely won't be up y...
The draft agreement, drawn up by [John Holdren] and [Bill Chandler] late last year, has three main points: the U.S. and China will use existing technologies to cut carbon emissions by 20 per cent by 2010; they will co-operate on new technologies including carbon capture and storage and better fuel efficiency in vehicles; and they will both join the global agreement in Copenhagen in December. This U.S.-Chinese draft has not been signed, but [Xie Zhenhua] has agreed to it. The target first set by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in California, an average of 35.5 miles per gallon (15 km/litre, 6.62 litres/100 km) for all cars and light trucks by 2016, has now been adopted by President [Barack Obama] for the whole country. That will eventually cut U.S. vehicle emissions by 40 per cent (current av...

I know you can't live your life being scared," Natalie Huntley, 28, a tourist from Adelaide, Australia, said outside St. Paul's Cathedral even as police investigated another suspicious vehicle parked on nearby Fleet Street. "You've just got to keep going, don't you? "It's a way of testing [Gordon Brown]," said Bob Ayers, a security expert at the Chatham House think-tank. "It's not too far-fetched to assume it was designed to expedite the decision on withdrawal (from Iraq)." "Look, it's terrorism, but we don't know if there -- there's no definite, there's no established connection with any organization at this point," [Tony Snow] said. U.S. authorities said there was no apparent terror threat to the United States.
Vehicle telematics combines wireless telecommunications with global positioning satellite (GPS) and computer-diagnostics technology. With it, fleet managers can link computer functions to individual cars or trucks, regardless of where each is. The technology has two basic functions: a locator/director, where managers can monitor all vehicles and their operations en-route using hardware consisting of a simple recording system, without the need for installing an on-board computer; and a diagnostic tool, where vehicle systems, such as oil levels, brakes or communications, are monitored for problems. Prices can range up to $1,375 per vehicle for the Telepod hardware and up to $50 a month for hosted Autovision software.
The AVL units offer many advantages that will support EMS professionals as they provide critical care to Manitobans including: identifying the closest ambulance that can respond to an incoming call most quickly, helping paramedics find the location of a call in real-time and informing them of road closures or other delays, improving patient and crew safety through real-time updates to MTCC on location and speed, and enhancing the fleet's reliability and efficiency through accurate and consistent monitoring of each vehicle.
If politicians are serious about cutting motor-vehicle emissions, the most direct way would be to get heavily polluting old vehicles off the roads as part of an "integrated approach," automakers told a parliamentary committee Tuesday. The Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers' Association called for a combination of "new vehicle technology, cleaner fuels, fleet strategies, consumer incentives, and research and development in Canada. That buildup of unused RRSP room is a "concern," CIBC World Markets said in a report that warns millions of households will be dependent on the public pension system in retirement.
In the past 12 months, vehicles travelling in Kandahar province under Canadian supervision have been hit by 150 of these "improvised explosive devices," or IEDs, causing varying degrees of damage, although only a fraction had been publicly disclosed previously. Another 150 devices have been detected and disarmed, [Rob Walker] said. Six Canadians and an Afghan interpreter died Wednesday in an armour-warping explosion from a "huge" device buried by the Taliban in a well-travelled gravel road, 20 kilometres south of Kandahar City. It raised the death toll to 66 Canadian soldiers and elevated the apprehension of troops riding in the RG-31, the most blast-proof vehicle in the military fleet, even along once-safe roads.
