Ford Abandons Electric Vehicles
The Ford motor company's abandonment of electric cars effectively signals the end of the road for the technology, analysts say.
General Motors and Honda ceased production of battery-powered cars in 1999, to focus on fuel cell and hybrid electric gasoline engines, which are more attractive to the consumer. Ford has now announced it will do the same.
Three years ago, the company introduced the Think City two-seater car and a golf cart called the THINK, or Think Neighbor It hoped to sell 5,000 cars each year and 10,000 carts. But a lack of demand means only about 1,000 of the cars have been produced, and less than 1,700 carts have been sold so far in 2002.
"The bottom line is we don't believe that this is the future of environment transport for the mass market," Tim Holmes of Ford Europe said on Friday. "We feel we have given electric our best shot."
The Think City has a range of only about 55 miles and up to a six-hour battery recharge time. General Motors' EVI electric vehicle also had a limited range, of about 100 miles.
The very expensive batteries also mean electric cars cost much more than petrol-powered alternatives. An electric Toyota RAV4 EV vehicle costs over $42,000 in the US, compared with just $17,000 for the petrol version. Toyota and Nissan are, now the only major auto manufacturers to produce electric vehicles.
"There is a feeling that battery electric has been given its chance. Ford now has to move on with its hybrid program, and that is what we will be judging them on," Roger Higman, a senior transport campaigner at UK Friends of the Earth, told the Environment News Service.
Hybrid cars introduced by Toyota and Honda in the past few years have sold well. Hybrid engines offer greater mileage than petrol-only engines, and the batteries recharge themselves. Ford says it thinks such vehicles will help it meet planned new guidelines on vehicle emissions in the US.
However, it is not yet clear exactly what those guidelines will permit. In June, General Motors and Daimler Chrysler won a court injunction, delaying by two years Californian legislation requiring car-makers to offer 100,000 zero-emission and other low-emission vehicles in the state by 2003. Car manufacturers hope the legislation will be rewritten to allow for more low-emission, rather than zero-emission, vehicles.
What have the Ford motor company, General Motor's and Honda done concerning electric cars？
A．They have started to produce electric cars.
B．They have done extensive research on electric cars.
C．They have given up producing electric cars.
D．They have produced thousands of electric cars.
Henry Ford was the first one to build cars which were fast, reliable(可靠的)and cheap. He was able to sell millions of them because he "mass-produced" them, that is, he made a great many cars of exactly the same type. Henry Ford's father had hoped his son would become a farmer, but the young man did not like the idea and went to Detroit where he worked as a mechanic.
By the time he was twenty-nine, in 1892, he had built his first car. The first "Massproduced" car in the world, The famous "Model T", appeared in 1908 five years after Henry had started his great Ford Motor's time, massproduction techniques have become common in industry and have reduced the price of a great many products which otherwise would be very expensive.
The passage mainly tells us ______.
A．how Henry Ford started his motor company
B．Henry Ford was a famous car producer
C．mass-production was introduced to the car-production industry by Henry Ford
D．Henry Ford was the first industrialist to build cars
A.products should be sold atlow prices in large quantity

D.standards must beestablished in his plants
Henry Ford changed the American society ______. ()
A．through great social revolution
B．through automotive technological revolution
C．through numerous mechanical inventions
D．through radical political reforms
Henry built race cars in the 1890’s and even became a race car driver. But he wanted to build cars for everyone: to use, so he began the Ford Motor Company in 1903. He had formulated (制定) a business motto which would be the reason for his success. "The way to make automobiles is to make one automobile like another automobile, to make them all alike." His company declared that they could make automobiles in any color, as long as it was black.
Henry gave much credit to his wife whom he called "The Believer". From the earliest days of their relationship she was the one who encouraged him to build a horseless carriage. Her belief in him was a constant encouragement to produce what would become tile primary mode of transportation in the future.
Henry's greatest task was to produce a gasoline engine that would be the power for his car. He finally produced so many hours each day that his friends called him crazy Henry. tie was inspired to work until his invention would work effectively.
When he designed the Model T, he decided he could build it cheaply for what he called "the great multitude(批量)." To do this he had to design an assemble line where many cars could be bilt in a single day. Each worker would have only his individual parts to put on each car. Then he could limit himself to the few tools needed for the task.
The Model T was introduced in 1908 and began to be produced on an assembly line in 1913. Henry Ford was the major figure in the auto industry for the next fifteen years.
On May 26, 1927, Henry watched the 15 millionth Model T Ford roll off the assembly tine. He had become the richest man in America. He was able to bring the price low enough so that most Americans could buy his car. This gave every family much independence, for they could move about freely without the aid of others’ transporting them.
Because he did not change his Model T, others began experimenting with different types of cars. However, the Ford Motor Company still exists and all car owners are indebted (受惠于) to the creation of the automobile by Henry Ford.
To make cars, Henry first of all needed ______.
A．his wife’s encouragement
B．a lot of money to buy equipment
C．engineers and technicians
D．to produce a gasoline engine that would be the power for his car
A．using solar power.
B．finding better batteries.
C．attracting consumers' attention.
D．sharing automotive market.
A．that; what
B．whom; that
C．who; where
D．who; as
