Daimler AG has acquired an equity stake of nearly 10 percent of Tesla Motors Inc. This investment deepens the relationship between the inventor of the automobile and the newest member of the global auto industry. Tesla is the only production automaker selling a highway capable electric vehicle in North America and Europe.

The two companies have already been working closely to integrate Tesla's lithium-ion battery packs and charging electronics into the first 1,000 units of Daimler's electric smart car. In order to benefit from each other's know-how, the investment enables the partners to collaborate even more closely on the development of battery systems, electric drive systems and in individual vehicle projects.

FORMULA 1 SANTANDER BRITISH GRAND PRIX (Silverstone), UK
21 June, 2009
MARTIN WHITMARSH
Team principal, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes

"This weekend has been a very difficult one for everyone at Vodafone McLaren Mercedes. No one in our team likes not winning, and it goes without saying that we all remain utterly determined to return to our winning ways. That may not be a realistic prospect for this season, although significant improvements are in the pipeline, but the team is doing a huge amount of work in an effort to gain a full understanding of the performance issues our car is currently facing, with a view to developing next year's car as well as improving this year's car. Sometimes you have to go backwards before you can begin going forwards, and, painful as it was for all of us, this weekend was an example of that."

NORBERT HAUG Vice-president, Mercedes-Benz Motorsport
"A race to forget. Our performance was by far not where it has to be and where it was when we won five of the last 10 races here on this classic racetrack. We should not talk a lot now but rather work a lot. Congratulations to our German friend Sebastian Vettel, Red Bull Racing and Mark Webber for a very impressive performance and a clearly very dominant one-two today. This was the most impressive performance of the season so far."

LEWIS HAMILTON
"The best thing about this weekend has been the fans: they really gave me some consolation by cheering me on throughout the race. I would love to have given them a result to make them happy and my country proud, but we still have a lot of work ahead of us before that will be realistic."

Registration Opens for Plug-In 2009 Conference & Exposition
International Conference on Plug-In Hybrids, Taking Place in Long Beach in July, To Help Drive Plug-In Industry Forward

Looking for an opportunity to learn about the latest technological advances, market research and policy initiatives shaping the future of plug-in hybrid electric transportation? Then register today for the Plug-In 2009 Conference & Exposition (http://www.plugin2009.com/), the second annual international conference taking place in Long Beach, Calif., from Aug. 10-13, 2009.

With President Barack Obama calling for 1 million plug-in hybrids to be on our roads within the next several years and the stimulus bill directing $2-billion-plus toward investments within plug-in-related technology development, infrastructure and deployment, Plug-In 2009 will bring together a "who’s who" of industry stakeholders to discuss and collaborate on next steps in areas such as research, vehicle technology, infrastructure requirements, policies and regulations, and market development.

"Hamburg – The Hanseatic City of Hamburg has started today a major project for the use of fuel cell vehicles together with Daimler, Shell, Total and Vattenfall Europe. The aim of this cooperation is to accelerate the expansion of an emission-free vehicle fleet and create a corresponding infrastructure of hydrogen filling stations. The project is part of the Clean Energy Partnership in Hamburg and Berlin. It is being supported by the federal German government as part of the national innovation programme for hydrogen and fuel cell technology (NIP). In addition, a Fuel Cell Lab is being founded in Hamburg to further research on fuel cell technology.

Construction of new hydrogen filling stations As part of the cooperative venture, Shell and TOTAL will add hydrogen pumps with 700-bar technology to four public filling stations in Hamburg. Fuel cell powered vehicles will be able to refuel within a few minutes at these filling stations, and thanks to the high hydrogen pressure they will have an operating range of more than 400 kilometres on one filling. Dr. Peter Blauwhoff, Chairman of Deutsche Shell Holding GmbH, sees the benefits of this technology: "Shell has long been involved in hydrogen technology, and is committed to furthering the Clean City Cars project for Hamburg. We will be contributing our know-how and expertise to the coming discussions and plans." More... -pdf
