– General Motors is planning to double the number of vehicles with the OnStar communications system. By 2006, GM plans to make 3 million vehicles available with the system, which offers emergency assistance, remote door unlocking and stolen-vehicle location service.
– Ford Motor Co. is shipping as many as 300 Think electric cars back to Norway. All the cars had been scheduled to be scrapped, but suitable cars will be reconditioned and sold in Norway, where they were made. The vehicles were part of former Chief Executive Jacques Nasser’s plan to expand into new businesses and sell environmentally friendly vehicles. The vehicles don’t meet U.S. safety standards, and Ford had a waiver from the rules for only three years.
