2014 MAN Trucks MAN trucks has teamed up with trailer builder Crone to build a futuristic, streamlined semi that could improve the fuel economy and range of long haulers by 25 percent. The Concept S and Aero Liner combo features an integrated design with a smooth and rounded face that looks like something from "The Clone Wars," a rooftop spoiler closing the gap between tractor and trailer, and an aerodynamic hunchback roof not unlike that of the Toyota Prius. Further wind cheating moves include a tapering rear end, skirts over the wheels, slim video camera mounts replacing the huge side view mirrors typically seen on big rigs, and fuel tanks tucked inside the slick bodywork of the tractor. With the concept, MAN joins other big names in the trucking business -- including Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner -- in revealing intentions to make extreme improvements in efficiency in the coming years. Tractor trailers consume about 45 billion gallons of fuel annually in The United States, so any improvement in fuel economy in the segment could have a huge impact on overall consumption as well as lowering the operating cost of the vehicles. www.repokar.com

Shell commissioned JWT and award winning director Ivan Bird to produce their latest Shell Helix TV commercial – “Crystal Car”. They basically reproduced an entire Nissan 370Z accurate to the smallest details, only made of high grade Perspex acrylic, thus letting you see through the car and every single component. The whole idea is to pour the lubricant in and let you see how it works its way through the engine, coating the pistons, crank, combustion chamber and other parts of the engine. www.repokar.com
Legally, government agencies must open any surplus or seized items for sale to the public. That means that whenever the police or customs has seized vehicles, whenever the military has surplus car parts, or whenever a home goes into foreclosure due to loan default, those items and properties are open to be bought at auction by you. Since they must be sold, you can often find quality items, like cars, trucks, and other vehicles, for way less than their usual market price.
The moment the gavel falls, your bidder is liable for the entire purchase price and must pay a 10% deposit straight away. The remainder is either due within 24 hours of the auction ending or straight after, with cash or bankers� draft being the accepted method of payment. You will get your money quickly, after the auctioneer�s commission has been taken off. You don�t have to deal personally with the bidder and answer lots of questions about your vehicle � if you are not mechanically minded, selling your car to an enthusiast asking you about the internal workings of your car can be a nightmare. Selling your car at auction is a reliable process, while you might be sitting at home, waiting in vain for that elusive chap who called yesterday regarding your newspaper advertisement. Selling cars at auction is particularly good for female car owners, who often have to deal with chauvinist attitudes displayed by male buyers. Potential male buyers often try to intimidate a woman selling her car by inventing potential faults for the vehicle or bombarding her with technical questions most male drivers wouldn�t be able to answer correctly either. Selling cars at auction also enables the seller to become a bidder on anything he or she would like to purchase as a replacement vehicle. Doing a part exchange at a dealership rarely works out to the seller�s advantage. Once the car has been sold at auction and the seller knows how much he or she can spend on a new vehicle, there is no long wait to arrange for finance or chasing up dealers for details on affordable cars that have come into their showroom. Disadvantages of Selling Cars at Auction If bidding is slow on the day, your car may not sell for the reserve you have set. If the auctioneer enters your car into the next sale, the reserve price is likely to be displayed, which means the highest bid made is likely to be far lower than the price your car would have achieved at another auction house. With too many models of the same category on the day, there may not be enough bidders to go round.
