2021 Dodge Durango Wins a Vincentric Best Value in America Award

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — 

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — 

  • 2021 Dodge Durango earns the Vincentric Best Value in America award for the Large SUV/Crossover segment
  • The 2021 Durango features new aggressive exterior styling, a new interior with a Challenger-inspired cockpit, best-in-class towing capacity across its lineup and more performance than ever with the new 710-horsepower Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat – the most powerful SUV ever
  • Award honors vehicles with the best value in each vehicle segment

The new 2021 Dodge Durango is the winner of a Vincentric Best Value in America award, taking home the honors for the Large SUV/Crossover segment.

The Vincentric Best Value in America awards are model-specific honors that determine the best value in each segment. Value is determined using a statistical analysis that incorporates the total cost of ownership of all vehicles for the 2021 model year along with the current market price of those vehicles.

«The Dodge Durango had a strong performance in the 2021 Vincentric Best Value in America awards,» said David Wurster, Vincentric President. «It had the best results in more cost categories than any other vehicle in its segment, including the lowest fuel, depreciation, fixed and operating costs. Combined, these low costs helped the Durango outperform all competitors and earn the win for 2021.»

Dodge Durango, the ultimate «no-compromise» SUV and the Charger of the three-row SUV segment, raises the bar for 2021 with new aggressive exterior styling, a new interior with a Challenger-inspired cockpit and more performance than ever with six distinct models – SXT, GT, Citadel, R/T, SRT 392 and the new 710-horsepower Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat – the most powerful SUV ever.

The Challenger and Charger muscle car exteriors are reflected in the Durango’s new, aggressive exterior, which features a new front fascia, LED low/high projector headlamps, LED daytime running lamp (DRL) signatures, grille, rear spoiler and wheels.

The Durango interior is significantly upgraded for the 2021 model year with a new performance-inspired cockpit, including a redesigned instrument panel, center console and front doors, and five-times-faster Uconnect 5 with the largest-in-class available 10.1-inch touchscreen. With all of the updates, the interior feels more driver-oriented, modern and refined than the outgoing model.

The new Tow N Go Package on the 2021 Durango R/T AWD leverages its 5.7-liter HEMI® V-8 engine performance, SRT’s menacing looks, unmatched best-in-class towing of 8,700 pounds, an improved top speed of 145 mph, Track, Sport, Snow and Tow drive modes and SRT-tuned performance exhaust with an iconic Dodge exhaust rumble.

The 2021 Durango Citadel is the all-in luxury trim of the Durango lineup, delivering many premium features as standard equipment, including heated and ventilated Nappa leather driver and passenger seats, the full suite of safety features and more. The Citadel offers two powertrain options, both of which include class IV towing with integrated trailer brake as standard equipment:

  • The award-winning 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine, rated at up to 295 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque, and 6,200 lbs. towing capacity is standard
  • The classic 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine, available on the Citadel, produces a best-in-class 360 horsepower and 390 lb.-ft. of torque with 7,200 lbs. towing capacity

As the industry’s only three-row muscle car, the Durango maintains its claim of being a family-friendly SUV with available seating for up to seven, standard Dodge muscle car attitude and the capability of best-in-class towing leadership at every trim level.

Dodge//SRT
For more than 100 years, the Dodge brand has carried on the spirit of brothers John and Horace Dodge. Their influence continues today as Dodge shifts into high gear with muscle cars and SUVs that deliver unrivaled performance in each of the segments where they compete.

2021 marks the year that Dodge is distilled into a pure performance brand, offering Hellcat-powered, 700-plus-horsepower SRT versions of every model across the lineup. For the 2021 model year, Dodge delivers the drag-strip dominating 807-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Super Stock, the new 797-horsepower Dodge Charger SRT Redeye, the most powerful and fastest mass-produced sedan in the world, and the new 710-horsepower Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat, the most powerful SUV ever. Combined, these three muscle cars make Dodge the industry’s most powerful brand, offering more horsepower than any other American brand across its entire lineup.

In 2020, Dodge was named the «#1 Brand in Initial Quality,» making it the first domestic brand ever to rank No. 1 in the J.D. Power Initial Quality Study (IQS). The Dodge brand also ranked No. 1 in the J.D. Power APEAL Study (mass market). These results are historic because it marks the first time a domestic brand has earned top spots in both J.D. Power studies in the same year.

Hybrid Electric Vehicles: A Stay of Execution for NiMH Batteries, Explores IDTechEx

BOSTON, Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — When discussing the topic of battery-electric vehicles, the lithium-ion battery is dominant; however, for full hybrid electric vehicles (those that have electric-only modes but do not plug-in), NiMH batteries are still the most common battery on the road. With the growing market for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), will this drive further demand for NiMH batteries and stop them from being eliminated from the automotive market?

<div id="prni_dvprnejpg1f50left"…

BOSTON, Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — When discussing the topic of battery-electric vehicles, the lithium-ion battery is dominant; however, for full hybrid electric vehicles (those that have electric-only modes but do not plug-in), NiMH batteries are still the most common battery on the road. With the growing market for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), will this drive further demand for NiMH batteries and stop them from being eliminated from the automotive market?

In 2020, NiMH batteries were still the dominant form installed in HEVs, largely due to Toyota. As Li-ion costs continue to fall and HEV battery capacity increases, NiMH are unlikely to remain competitive but will still see an increase in short term demand. Source: IDTechEx report: "Full Hybrid Electric Vehicle Markets 2021-2041"

The new report from IDTechEx on «Full Hybrid Electric Vehicle Markets 2021-2041» covers this topic along with the key players and geographical markets for HEVs. Battery and motor-generator technology is analyzed for HEV cars, buses, and trucks, giving forecasts for Li-ion and NiMH battery demand over the next 20 years.

Toyota is the ruling OEM in the global HEV car market, with over 60% market share in 2019. Other manufacturers have started to eat into this share over the years, but Toyota still reigns supreme. While the other OEMs have mostly transitioned towards Li-ion batteries for their HEVs, Toyota remains committed to NiMH batteries and HEVs for the foreseeable future, with the majority of their line-up now using either NiMH or Li-ion depending on the specifications. For the relatively small batteries that are used in HEVs, the NiMH is still sufficient to meet requirements. It is also much more technologically mature and lower cost than Li-ion.

Sales of HEVs have continued to grow throughout the COVID-19 pandemic despite the downturn of the overall car market. This, combined with Toyota’s dominance and NiMH portfolio, provides a good market for NiMH batteries, at least in the short term. Li-ion technology is still evolving and reducing in price; at a certain point, it may no longer be cost-effective to continue using NiMH. Additionally, fossil fuel bans are incoming, with countries like the UK banning purely internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles by 2030 and only allowing hybrids «that can drive a significant distance with zero emissions». HEV manufacturers will likely increase the battery capacity in order to give more electric-only range, making the Li-ion option more appealing. Even with this stay of execution for HEVs, banning vehicles with ICEs of any sort is likely to follow shortly after. This will eliminate the HEV in many markets and hence the demand for NiMH.

IDTechEx recently published the report «Full Hybrid Electric Vehicle Markets 2021-2041«. This report gives an in-depth look at the historic HEV market in China, Europe, Japan, South Korea, and the US, with an outlook over the next 20 years. An extensive model database of over 80 HEVs sold between 2015 and 2019 is used to determine the market’s battery and motor-generator technology in addition to geographical markets and manufacturer market shares. The total cost of ownership calculations is compared with ICE and 48V hybrids, as well as how HEVs can help manufacturers meet new European emissions targets. For more information on this report please visit www.IDTechEx.com/HEV.

This report forms part of the broader electric vehicle and energy storage research from IDTechEx, who track adoption of electric vehicles, battery trends and demand across more than 100 different mobility sectors. This is summarized in a master report: www.IDTechEx.com/EV, or for further in-depth analysis, please see the full portfolio of electric vehicle research available from IDTechEx: www.IDTechEx.com/research/EV.

This RES-D2-CS20 EV Dispenser is compatible with Rhombus’s UL Certified 60kW and 125kW Power Conditioning Systems (PCS) for high power EV charging of medium and heavy-duty (M/HD) fleets. The RES-D2-CS20 Dispenser can be used in both unidirectional and bi-directional charging use cases, providing fleet operators for vehicles such as school buses, public transit buses and delivery vehicles with fully certified fast DC chargers that are built specifically for their M/HD EV fleet needs.

The certifications being announced today include UL 2202 (Standard for Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging System Equipment) and UL 2231(Personnel Protection Systems for Electric Vehicle (EV) Supply Circuits: Particular Requirements for Protection Devices for Use in Charging Systems), as well as CSA C22.2. These standards define design, safety and testing requirements for all EV charging systems. Combined with the UL 1741-SA certification of Rhombus’ AC to DC PCS units, these certifications allow Rhombus solutions to be used in both unidirectional and bi-directional Vehicle to Grid (V2G) applications, providing a total solution for M/HD EV fleet operators.

«Vehicle electrification allows fleet operators to reduce their operating expenditures by lowering energy and maintenance costs,» said Rick Sander, CEO of Rhombus Energy Solutions. «With bi-directional chargers, fleet operators can integrate renewables and energy storage into their overall solution. To future proof their operations, fleet operators require a highly reliable DC fast-charging infrastructure with bi-directional capability to ensure an optimized solution. Rhombus provides fleets with a complete toolset for their charging needs of today and tomorrow.»

V2G applications, which require bi-directional functionality, provide a means for EV fleet operators to utilize their vehicles as a source of energy storage, allowing power to be put back onto the grid during peak demand hours or to be used to power buildings in a «behind the meter» approach. The combination of bi-directional charging with the market-leading reliability of Rhombus’ high-power DC-DC chargers ensures EV OEMs, charging network operators and fleet EV operators that they can install chargers today that will meet tomorrow’s needs. The addition of Rhombus M/HD EV chargers to the San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) approved equipment list is a testament to the capability of Rhombus chargers, and an illustration of the necessity of bi-directional charging functionality going forward.

«We designed our electric vehicle chargers to meet the specific needs of medium and heavy-duty EV fleet operators,» said Joseph Gottlieb, CTO of Rhombus Energy Solutions. «With the certification of our high-reliability dispensers and inverters, fleet operators now have a certified solution for advanced EV charging.»

Rhombus has deployed hundreds of high-power, bi-directional, high-reliability fleet EV charging systems and inverters for energy storage and PV solar-based microgrid for customers in a variety of demanding operational environments. Bi-directional charging enables both significant energy cost savings for EV fleet operators and the ability to provide power to critical infrastructure during power emergencies if needed.

Hybrid Electric Vehicles: A Stay of Execution for NiMH Batteries, Explores IDTechEx

BOSTON, Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — When discussing the topic of battery-electric vehicles, the lithium-ion battery is dominant; however, for full hybrid electric vehicles (those that have electric-only modes but do not plug-in), NiMH batteries are still the most common battery on the road. With the growing market for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), will this drive further demand for NiMH batteries and stop them from being eliminated from the automotive market?

BOSTON, Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — When discussing the topic of battery-electric vehicles, the lithium-ion battery is dominant; however, for full hybrid electric vehicles (those that have electric-only modes but do not plug-in), NiMH batteries are still the most common battery on the road. With the growing market for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), will this drive further demand for NiMH batteries and stop them from being eliminated from the automotive market?

The new report from IDTechEx on «Full Hybrid Electric Vehicle Markets 2021-2041» covers this topic along with the key players and geographical markets for HEVs. Battery and motor-generator technology is analyzed for HEV cars, buses, and trucks, giving forecasts for Li-ion and NiMH battery demand over the next 20 years.

Toyota is the ruling OEM in the global HEV car market, with over 60% market share in 2019. Other manufacturers have started to eat into this share over the years, but Toyota still reigns supreme. While the other OEMs have mostly transitioned towards Li-ion batteries for their HEVs, Toyota remains committed to NiMH batteries and HEVs for the foreseeable future, with the majority of their line-up now using either NiMH or Li-ion depending on the specifications. For the relatively small batteries that are used in HEVs, the NiMH is still sufficient to meet requirements. It is also much more technologically mature and lower cost than Li-ion.

Sales of HEVs have continued to grow throughout the COVID-19 pandemic despite the downturn of the overall car market. This, combined with Toyota’s dominance and NiMH portfolio, provides a good market for NiMH batteries, at least in the short term. Li-ion technology is still evolving and reducing in price; at a certain point, it may no longer be cost-effective to continue using NiMH. Additionally, fossil fuel bans are incoming, with countries like the UK banning purely internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles by 2030 and only allowing hybrids «that can drive a significant distance with zero emissions». HEV manufacturers will likely increase the battery capacity in order to give more electric-only range, making the Li-ion option more appealing. Even with this stay of execution for HEVs, banning vehicles with ICEs of any sort is likely to follow shortly after. This will eliminate the HEV in many markets and hence the demand for NiMH.

IDTechEx recently published the report «Full Hybrid Electric Vehicle Markets 2021-2041«. This report gives an in-depth look at the historic HEV market in China, Europe, Japan, South Korea, and the US, with an outlook over the next 20 years. An extensive model database of over 80 HEVs sold between 2015 and 2019 is used to determine the market’s battery and motor-generator technology in addition to geographical markets and manufacturer market shares. The total cost of ownership calculations is compared with ICE and 48V hybrids, as well as how HEVs can help manufacturers meet new European emissions targets. For more information on this report please visit www.IDTechEx.com/HEV.

This report forms part of the broader electric vehicle and energy storage research from IDTechEx, who track adoption of electric vehicles, battery trends and demand across more than 100 different mobility sectors. This is summarized in a master report: www.IDTechEx.com/EV, or for further in-depth analysis, please see the full portfolio of electric vehicle research available from IDTechEx: www.IDTechEx.com/research/EV.

Now or Never: Terra.do’s Mission to Build the World’s Gateway for Climate Professionals

STANFORD, Calif., Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — There has been an explosion of funding for climate tech in the past decade, and several global multilateral funds have pledged to commit vast resources towards climate causes. Additionally, many of the world’s largest companies have signed a pledge to meet the Paris Agreement goals ten years early.

STANFORD, Calif., Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — There has been an explosion of funding for climate tech in the past decade, and several global multilateral funds have pledged to commit vast resources towards climate causes. Additionally, many of the world’s largest companies have signed a pledge to meet the Paris Agreement goals ten years early.

While these endeavors are promising, what’s missing is a global network of action-oriented climate professionals with the skills needed to maximize the impact of these initiatives.

Terra.do is building that network.

The Mission

Terra.do’s mission is to get 100 million climate-conscious people substantially working on climate change solutions relevant to them by 2030.

The company raised $1.5M in early funding from a group of climate-conscious angels in August 2020 and has seen 100% quarter over quarter growth in revenue since the company launched earlier in the year.

Terra.do seeks to accomplish its mission through three steps:

● Learning – The foundation of Terra.do is its mission-focused online educational platform, managed by co-founder and climate expert Dr. Kamal Kapadia. The fully remote courses train professionals on the complexities of the global climate landscape. Each program is curated to a specific climate challenge and taught live by world-class instructors and guest lecturers like the leading climate scientist Dr. Charles «Chip» Fletcher and climate investor Sierra Peterson. The flagship program is Climate Change: Learning for Action, a 12-week intensive course covering every major angle of the climate landscape.

● Network – Through these courses, the company is building a robust global community of climate-aware individuals that want to engage in climate action. Participants, called «fellows», can expand their climate networks by tapping into a deep base of alumni, instructors, climate experts, and global partners such as Techstars. They also have access to career-focused resources, such as job fairs and mentorship programs.

● Action – Fellows and alumni engage with the climate solutions world in a variety of ways, including internships, projects, climate jobs, and entrepreneurship in climate. Alumni from early cohorts have gone on to found organizations such as Climate Changemakers, landed full-time positions in climate-aware companies such as Sidewalk Labs, and are running hands-on internship programs for new fellows.

«A massive wave of climate jobs is coming that will require all kinds of skills,» states Anshuman Bapna, founder and CEO of Terra.do. «We built a platform that allows talented individuals from around the world to develop the skills and network needed to jump into the climate fight. This infrastructure, which is the only one of its kind, will be critical to creating a high-impact climate workforce that can solve the diverse problems our world will face in the coming decades.»

The Story

The company was founded in early 2020 after Kamal’s brother-in-law randomly overhead Anshuman discussing climate in a cafe in Bengaluru, India. The two were introduced virtually, and leveraging their skills and networks, built a company designed to be 100% remote. In fact, the entire Terra.do team has never met in person.

While the distance appears to many as an obstacle, the company’s structure lets it thrive despite the challenges presented by COVID-19. «Our company and our community were designed to be completely online and remote from day one to enable every corner of the world to collaborate asynchronously on the problem,» states Bapna. «In that regard, we’re light years ahead of other real-world platforms that have been challenged during the pandemic.»

There was also a founding focus on diversity, inclusion, and a big-tent approach to climate solutions. This approach is baked into the company’s mission that 100 million minds from all over the world are necessary to create a transition to a post-climate-crisis world. Reflecting this is the company’s makeup of employees, instructors, fellows, and alumni from over 25 countries.

New Courses

Terra.do will launch over 25 new courses this year and is excited to announce the lineup for Q1 2021:

● January 25: The New Hydrogen Economy
● February 1: Climate-Smart Buildings
● February 8: Climate-Resilient Agricultural Value Chains
● February 21: Climate Camp for VCs and Investors with Techstars and Moxxie
Ventures
● March 4: Climate Change: Learning for Action (Flagship Course)
● March 13: The Climate Justice Workshop

These courses kick-off a banner year of activity and cover several of the most in-demand climate areas. Terra.do’s team of skilled instructors provide intensive, personalized teaching, and support to small groups of fellows. Students also receive 1-on-1 mentoring from 100+ experts who cover 50+ professional climate sectors. Terra.do’s courses regularly feature globally recognized guest speakers from a range of countries.

Job Fair

Terra.do also announces its ClimateTech Job Fair, which occurs on Friday, March 5. The job fair, which is the world’s largest online climate career event, is a live event that will match recruiters with job seekers looking for tech-focused roles. It’s a unique opportunity for those looking to interact with a massive network of individuals who are about climate work.

Terra.do’s first online job fair in November 2020 attracted companies such as Pachama, ZeroAvia, and Myst.AI, and over 1,000 job seeker registrants. This expanded version is expected to attract double that figure.

Dozens of organizations will be posting hundreds of technology jobs in fields such as software engineering, data science, product management, design, and more. Hiring managers and participants will have the opportunity to interact with one another in real-time via Slack and Zoom.

MOORESVILLE, N.C., Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — EarthKind®, manufacturers of award-winning plant-based pest prevention products, declares 2021 as the Year of the Monarch. The collaborative effort focuses on recognizing and supporting teachers across the country who inspire K-12 students through eco-education initiatives. Getting outdoors and connecting with nature is proven to make kids happier, healthier and smarter in math, science, the arts, while supporting social development.

Kari Warberg Block, EarthKind® Founder and Chief Harmony Officer (CHO), states, «Our company purpose is to imagine a world in harmony with nature and one another in all the places we live, work, learn and play. That’s why we’ve chosen to devote the entire year of 2021 to supporting eco-education initiatives in schools. Teachers across the country have been heroic champions for the long term social and cognitive benefits of eco-education. Day after day, they prove that getting kids into nature is the best thing we can do for them and for our own future. We view teachers very much like we view the monarch butterfly – our symbol for the campaign. And we plan to bring the amazing work they do alive throughout the year.»

Working together with Natural Habitat Adventures, EarthKind® will sponsor an all-expenses-paid trip to Mexico in March 2022 for one teacher and three guests to visit the Kingdom of Monarchs Habitat. There they will witness the amazing migration of millions of butterflies. Warberg Block comments, «Monarch butterflies, a vital pollinator species, have declined by 90% in the last 20 years. Direct results of climate change, pollution, habitat loss and the use of agricultural pesticides have led a series of pollinator species to spiral in decline, landing many on the endangered and threatened species list. We need to protect our pollinators, every day. Without them, agricultural economies, our food supplies, and surrounding landscapes would collapse. The earth as we know it will not exist.»

Starting in February, EarthKind will select one Harmony Hero applicant each month to receive complimentary in-service training from an entomologist on IPM practices for their school, helping them become safer, healthier places. They’ll also receive a backpack packed with sustainable essentials for eco-education and outdoor adventures.
