Geneva Preview: Chevrolet HHR LPG Study

On display at Chevrolet’s Geneva Show stand, the LPG-powered HHR study offers an economical and environmentally friendly propulsion alternative. In addition to its gasoline tank, the specially modified HHR has a 66-litre LPG (Liquefied petroleum gas) tank accommodated in the spare-wheel recess so as not to reduce the trunk volume. Apart from the additional tank, the conversion also includes a separate gas-regulating device, a special evaporator pressure regulator for converting the liquid gas into its gaseous aggregate state, plus the necessary fuel lines. -Continued

The driver can switch from gasoline to LPG or vice versa (bivalent propulsion) with just a push of a button. The performance data of the 170 hp front-wheel drive HHR remain unchanged. According to Chevrolet Europe, the HHR LPG could potentially hit the German market in early summer with other European markets following soon.

Chevrolet Recalling 181,516 HHR Vehicles For Safety Reasons

General Motors announced that it will recall 181,516 MY 2006-2008 Chevrolet HHR vehicles not equipped with optional roof rail air bags for failing to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 201, 'Occupant Protection in Interior Impact.'

What this means is that during tests, one of the upper interior occupant protection test points exceeded the standard's requirement. This standard specifies performance requirements to provide head impact protection for occupants. Chevrolet will deal with this problem by installing an energy-absorbing plastic piece to the headliner trim. The recall is expected to begin during March 2008.
