...comes through the executive "war room" near his office, where nuggets of intelligence about DaimlerChrysler's vast empire are constantly ingested and analyzed. But Holden had demanded and received complete autonomy when he took over Chrysler, and he used it to wall himself off from the Daimler side in Stuttgart...
DIED. KONRAD KUJAU, 62, German con artist who in 1983 claimed to have found 60 volumes of diaries written by Adolf Hitler, which he had actually forged himself; of cancer; in Stuttgart. The diaries, which he sold to a German magazine for $4.8 million, were exposed as fakes a few days after the first excerpts were published. He was found guilty of fraud and spent three years in prison...
That's why experiments now going on in laboratories around the world are so important. At a research center outside Stuttgart, Germany, engineers at DaimlerChrysler have created a high-performance car whose tail pipe emits nothing but water vapor. In a giant wind tunnel at NASA's Ames Research Center in California, engineers are set to analyze air turbulence in order to make superefficient wind-power turbines. In Japan scientists are perfecting paper-thin solar cells that will be cheap to produce and could turn every house into its own electricity supplier. These ventures, along with many others, are beginning...
Cars like the NECAR4, housed in a lab near Stuttgart, could help make that happen. This experimental vehicle, being jointly developed by Ford, DaimlerChrysler and Canada's Ballard Power Systems, gets its energy from hydrogen--the most abundant fuel in the entire universe. Hydrogen, unlike fossil fuels, contains no carbon atoms and thus generates zero carbon dioxide. However, it could produce some pollution, since burning hydrogen taints the atmosphere by rearranging air molecules to form nitrogen oxides and ozone...
...founder of a think tank called the Rocky Mountain Institute, Lovins, 52, makes his home amid the alpine splendor of Snowmass, Colorado, but his influence can be seen in Detroit, Tokyo, Stuttgart--wherever cars are made. In 1991, before the industry got serious about greener cars, Lovins used a speech before the U.S. National Research Council to call for a transportation revolution. Though the title--"Advanced Light Vehicle Concepts"--could have used more pizazz, the response was immediate. More than two dozen car companies have enlisted his expertise from time to time...
