CARLSBAD, CA, August 07, 2009 /Magazines PR News/ -- When General Motors declared bankruptcy, many people can agree it was the end of an era - not only reshaping a once booming car industry, but signaling the decline of traditional manufacturing as a whole. In The New Industrial Revolution! Manufacturing Digital magazine, found on ManufacturingDigital.com (www.manufacturingdigital.com), discovers there is shift taking place away from conventional manufacturing to an industry dealing with low carbon products.
Quotes from the article:
• Director of responsible investment for FTSE Group, Will Oulton, on what to expect: "The transition to a low carbon economy is creating change within the traditional global manufacturing sectors, as companies see the future growth in environmental technologies products and services. This trend is encouraging innovation particularly in the areas of renewable energy and energy demand management and efficiency."
• Neil Carson, Chief Executive of chemical manufacturer Johnson Matthey, says: "High carbon is going to be replaced by low carbon, so we have to think now about what types of low carbon products customers will want in the future."

Modec, a manufacturer of battery-powered delivery vehicles, is gaining steam in Europe - turning what was once a milk float into a zero emission vehicle with sound commercial potential. In The Future of Urban Delivery, the company's UK innovator and founder, Lord Jamie Borwick, talks to Manufacturing Digital about Modec's humble beginnings and, most important, bright future.
• Lord Borwick on being approached by Tesco: "When you're a small company and Tesco comes along and wants 15 vehicles, that's worth a drink. That validated it as a prospect and we stopped looking to the dairy companies."
• Lord Borwick on unprecedented sales: "We must be the only vehicle company with a forward order book to November or December."
• Lord Borwick on expanding to America: "It's clear that the US is going to be our biggest market so far."
