Intake: A pioneering new electric British truck designed by a former Formula 1 engineer claims a phenomenal 4000-plus-mile range. The Fering Pioneer from ex-Ferrari and -McLaren man Ben Scott-Geddes uses two electric motors-one on each axle-to provide all-wheel-drive and a total of over 440 lb-ft of torque to give it serious off-road chops.

So the Government is going to buy 200 of those Suburbans every year for nine years; and they are going to force us to buy EVs. Isn’t that just wonderful.

Thank goodness Porsche; Mazda (and F1) are involved in synthetic fuel. Fingers crossed!

only 200 of these? Every senator and congressman will have this as their ride.
Chauffeur too of course.
