I've had no luck doing that in the past but will try again.

How about starting a brand-new email rather than replying to someone
else's thread? That way it's not threaded in with all the other email.

Jenny Mandel, *Greenwire* reporter

In a test designed to provide feedback on its advanced lithium ion
technology, battery manufacturer Johnson Controls-Saft will convert a fleet
of Dodge Sprinter delivery vans into plug-in hybrids, the company announced
yesterday.

The vans, made by Chrysler LLC, will be outfitted as plug-in hybrids that
operate primarily on an electric motor and recharge through an outlet.

The delivery vans are slated to be deployed at multiple locations and to be
monitered to provide feedback on how the batteries perform under various
operating conditions.

The vehicles will use lithium-ion batteries that provide more power than
batteries that propel currently available hybrid vehicles, and that are 47
percent lighter than the nickel-metal hydride batteries they replace,
officials said.

"Advanced battery technology is the single most important enabler in making
all types of electric vehicles practical," said Mary Ann Wright, who heads
the joint venture between French energy storage company Saft *(Euronext:
Saft)* and auto battery company Johnson Controls *(NYSE: JCI)*.

She noted that pluggable hybrids, conventional hybrids, electric vehicles
and fuel-cell cars all stand to benefit from advances in lithium battery
technology.

Fleet vehicles are often used for early deployments of new vehicle
technologies because they allow for more controlled use.

In a program run by Internet search company Google's *(NASDAQ:
GOOG)*foundation arm, vehicle use data is being collected on a small
fleet of
Toyota Prius cars with an after-market modification to run as plug-in
vehicles using the battery technology of A123 Systems, a rival of Watertown,
Mass.-based Johnson Controls-Saft.

Lithium ion batteries provide more power than the nickel-metal hydride
technology that is commonly used in conventional vehicles, but they are
prone to overheating and can spontaneously catch fire, a problem that
triggered a massive recall of laptop computer batteries in 2006
(*Greenwire
*, Aug. 10).

Several automakers are pursuing improved lithium ion batteries to overcome
the problem, though the *Wall Street Journal* recently reported that Toyota
officials had indicated a delay in the introduction of lithium-based
pluggable cars linked to the overheating issue
(*Greenwire*,
Aug. 9).
