A consortium of five Australian car-parts makers will collaborate over the next 15 months in the creation of a completely electric version of the Holden Commodore, a popular model made by a subsidiary of General Motors in Australia.
Among other contributions, thermal specialist Air International will help keep the heat-generating electronics cool under pressure, electronics giant Bosch will throw in an electric motor and tweak the software used to make everything work, Futuris will help strip weight from the car, and an offshoot of tyre maker Continental will help with engineering.
