EVs (electric vehicles) are actually nothing new to the auto industry as there were actually thousands in use around 100 years ago. However, technology at that time was such that performance of EVs was restrained, while the cars with internal combustion engines became more powerful and had better performance.

You’ve probably heard that most automakers are going green but Nissan is instead going blue with the expansion of its Blue Switch program to the ASEAN region.

The Mercedes-Benz B200 is only available in Progressive Line styling. The all-new B200 is powered by a Renault-sourced 1.3-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged engine that is shared with the A200. The little engine is capable of producing 165 PS and 250 Nm of torque. With the car only available in Progressive Line, the B200 sports silver-pa
