In the past, Amp has converted only General Motors passenger cars,
primarily the Chevrolet Equinox crossover.. The Mercedes-Benz ML鈥檚
proportions are similar to those of the Equinox, which helped in the
conversion, particularly to house the company鈥檚 900-pound battery
unit. 鈥淲e retained a split battery pack to keep the weight balance
about equal to the original manufacturer鈥檚 specification,鈥?said
Steve Burns, president and co-founder of Amp, in a telephone interview.
The ML鈥檚 global distribution was also a consideration for Amp. 鈥淚t鈥
檚 a world car, so it鈥檚 already passed Euro and U.S. Amp is not
committing exclusively to the ML as its future platform, nor is it
trying to lock up a contract with one battery supplier (Mr. Burns
declined to name the current supplier of its batteries). This is an
advantage of the company鈥檚 business model, Mr. Burns said. 鈥淲e have
a five-year contract, so you can imagine what batteries will do during
that time,鈥?he said. Though primarily an electricity provider,
Northern Lights will function as a distribution channel for the Amp
vehicles. Mr. Gislason is working to secure orders from companies,
municipalities and individual buyers in Iceland, who, according to Mr.
Gislason, should be easy quarry. 8 a gallon right now, and Iceland has
low import taxes on E.V.鈥檚,鈥?he said in a telephone interview. 鈥淎
Mercedes S.U.V. would be basically the same price to import, plus you鈥
檇 have to purchase gas. Iceland also generates much of its electricity
through geothermal and hydroelectric sources, which increases the cost
benefit of E.V. The utility鈥檚 agreement with Amp is not exclusive, so
Northern Lights could conceivably become partners with other E.V.
However, Mr. Gislason does not expect that to occur soon. 鈥淎mp can
deliver us cars. Today, they gave us a real car.

Earlier this month, parts supplier Takata said that automakers would
recall 35 to 40 million additional Takata-branded airbag inflators,
after the faulty parts were discovered to explode in a cloud of
shrapnel in certain conditions, instead of inflating the airbag. While
that's a great deal of parts, it's hard to imagine that figure in your
head. Perhaps this list will help. A whole lot of Mercedes-Benz
vehicles are either currently under recall or are now being recalled to
have these airbag inflators replaced. Nearly 1 million vehicles are
affected, ranging from sedans to convertibles to cargo vans. While the
company has received no reports of injuries or fatalities in its
vehicles, it's still something that must be addressed posthaste. But,
for the sake of being thorough, here are all the Mercedes-Benz vehicles
currently under recall, in alphabetical order. Every car infotainment
system available in 2019: All you need to know about the touchscreens,
infotainment and connectivity options in every new car.
