Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.With oil prices hitting new highs each week, the idea of introducing a new vehicle which does seven miles to the gallon of diesel would appear to be folly. But that hasn't stopped Texas-based International Truck from wheeling out its CXT, which makes Arnold Schwarzenegger's Hummer seem positively eco-friendly.
With oil prices hitting new highs each week, the idea of introducing a new vehicle which does seven miles to the gallon of diesel would appear to be folly. But that hasn't stopped Texas-based International Truck from wheeling out its CXT, which makes Arnold Schwarzenegger's Hummer seem positively eco-friendly.
The CXT is as long as a London bus and seats five. International Truck says that at a retail price of $93,000 (£52,000) it is perfect for a range of businesses in the construction and landscaping field. It believes they can benefit from the 220hp with 540lb-ft of torque delivered by the CXT.
The Hummer, previously the most environmentally hostile private car, as modelled by the recently elected Governor of California, does 10 miles to the gallon. The price of oil in the US rose 66 cents yesterday to $44.50 a barrel.
