Pakistani car company buys Canadian NEV-maker Dynasty


And the Greenius says this looks like the smart money bet to me. This looks like what would have been the plucky, American entrepreneurial spirit move to me. Too bad for America our corporations long ago outsourced that kind of effort and heart.

This is a move that GM, Ford and whatever’s left of Chrysler should have made, but it’s too creative, too bold and too American for any of those legacy car companies to pull off in the 21st century. These are companies that already screwed the pooch and squandered their market share and competitive advantage. Their brand names don’t mean anything any longer.

peabodyEveryone’s all excited that Ford just turned a profit, but they’re doing it with a fleet of uninspired crappy cars that they practically have to give away. You might as well call most of the cars they’re selling “future clunkers.” The Focus? Really Ford? The “new” Ford Taurus? Are you kidding me? Might as well just make the Pinto-hybrid. When’s your affordable EV that gets 1oo mile range on a quick charge Ford?

But at least Ford didn’t just shamelessly stiff all their creditors through the scam of corporate bankruptcy like the FAIL crews at GM and Chrysler did. The Greenius understands that this is in fact the era of bankruptcy but that doesn’t mean I have to pretend to like it.

Over at GM’s remake of Night of the Living Dead, they’ve cranked up Sherman and Peabody’s Wayback machine with Bob Lutz who still thinks Ronald Reagan is President and that chicks still dig him when he wears his plaid pants.

MINIEMeanwhile, over at Germany’s BMW they made a handful of EV Minis just for show and not for dough in a cynical and dumbass move to game the California CARB regulators who once again seem to be all too anxious to assume the BOHICA position on behalf of car makers. Keep in mind that BMW has no plans to actually make this car, they’re just testing it in Southern California to “gather data.”

Not only that they’ve been treating their customers, the ones they’re charging $850 a month in leasing fees to, like they’re the enemy. They delivered the cars late, they screwed up the installation of the proprietary charging stations at the homes of lessees and they restricted the range and the easy chargeability of the vehicles.

Plug-In insiders know exactly what BMW is trying to pull with all this and many have lost respect for BMW as a result. Talk about a company screwing up its own brand future…

Contrast that with Nissan’s sincere and very prescient effort to delver the real deal.

Your Creative Greenius will be covering the 2009 Plug-In Conference coming up next week from August 10-13 and I’ll see the Leaf up close and personal and talk to the Nissan people. I look forward to bringing you my insights and analysis.

One story I’ll be closely following and reporting on is China’s role as an EV car producer. Several Chinese car companies are working on cheap, entry level full electric vehicles and will have them ready years before the major car companies. I’ve got my eye on BYD, the Chinese car company that Warren Buffet is backing, and you will too when you see what they plan to deliver next year to the American market:



Here’s what our friends at Plug In America tell us about this car. If it’s true, then American car companies are truly toast and the EV revolution will be arriving ahead of schedule.:
Nissan’s Killer EV App, the Plug-In Car That Puts the Nail in GM’s Coffin

I have seen the future and it is a new car electric car from Nissan.

Nissan is about to drink GM’s milkshake with a breakthrough, affordable, next generation electric car that will be beat the Chevy Volt to market, cost half as much and work twice as well. Plus it looks ten times cooler.


You’ve got to love the fact that Nissan had balls and the vision to bank their future on full on electric vehicles, leapfrogging their Japanese competition Honda and Toyota whose timid and safe bet on hybrids has already marked them as bridge technology car makers. Both have been more than reluctant to go EV and both have said that the technology just isn’t ready yet. Perhaps what they should have said is THEIR technology isn’t ready yet.



But Nissan has the lithium ion battery and tons of desirable, very cool features ready for prime time right here and right now. And by that I mean the end of 2010.

India's new electric car

In most of the cases, we have found that the originators of the car company gave their names to their companies. However, there are many car companies in the world whose names are derived from other sources. Let us find out the origin of the car companies names.

Tata Motors, Ford Motor Company, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche are named after their founders. As August Horch could not use his name in his car business, he translated his name to Latin. ‘Audi’ is a Latin word for ‘H

The German dictator Adolf Hitler wanted a car for the common men. Hence, Volkswagen came into being as its name stands for “people’s car” in German. William C. Durant founded the General Motors Company as the International Motors Company. He changed the name of the company on his attorney’s advice.  Durant kept the name Buick for one of his car divisions after David Buick.

Indian car major Mahindra & Mahindra began as Mahindra & Mohammed on 2nd October 1945. It was formed by Mahindra brothers in collaboration with Ghulam Mohammed. The company was renamed to Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) in 1948, when Ghulam Mohammed left India and went to Pakistan.
The name of the luxury car maker Jaguar has a different story. It acquired its name from a long list of animal names. The name Jaguar was zeroed on to name the British car company.

Pre-1973 vehicle registration numbers.



Being able to shed light on when a car was registered can be a big help when it comes to dating not only old cars and other vehicles, but also photographs that feature older road-registered vehicles. A search through this section of the oldclassiccar site should help with researching an older car's history.
There are over 600 pages in this section, the data grouped together by registration number location letters. The location letters are the one or two letters of the alphabet that appear on older vehicles' numberplates which relate to a particular licensing office. For example, if a 60's car was registered as BND 468G, or a pre-war car as ND 3456, the letters "ND" would be that registration's location letters. A look at the ND letter code page confirms that this was a Manchester-area letter code. Dates for the various "ND" registrations are then listed.
So once you know the letter code to look for, visit the appropriate page linked to in the righthand menu, and find out more about when that series was used. It isn't unusual for a letter code to have been used on several different occasions during the 20th Century.
This information can be used on car, lorry, motorcycle and other road-registered vehicle registration numbers. Here are some examples:
Veteran car with an AF registration number
Here is a Coventry Humber, reg. no. AF 387. A look on the AF page confirms that this series was issued in the Cornwall area. The two-letter AF code ran from December 1903 through to November 1924.
Car registered with the LG letter code
Next, a photo of a Series 2 Morris 10. The LG series was used in Cheshire. DLG in particular was used on five separate occasions during the period this data covers. The nearest match is the issue from June 1936 onwards.
Motorcycle registered in 1931/1932
Whereas some registration periods run over many years, the GW series shown on this motorcycle is very specific. GW was used in London, from December 1931 through to March 1932 only.
Please note that there are many 'end dates' that have yet to be identified, but where they are known, they have been included. Equally, this information can only be used as a guide to help narrow down the dating of any particular car. However I hope it is of some interest, I've used this information repeatedly to help identify some of the vintage car photos that appear on the site. My thanks to Brian, from Motordata Events Ltd, for providing me with the source information on which this section was assembled, and for him agreeing to it being used on the site. Some further tips on researching a car's history can be found in
