Video: NASCAR robots featured in latest Transformers ad

You might have wondered exactly why the latest Transformers trailer was aired during the Daytona 500. Well, apart from the NAScar race being one of the most watched sporting events in the US, the new trailer was aptly aired during the race because of a partnership between the movie and the racing series.

If you had no idea before, then let this new trailer be your introduction to three new robots that will be featured in the third installment of the blockbuster movie franchise: they're Chevrolet Impalas dressed up as NAScar race cars that also happen to be Transformers.

Until now, no names or affiliations – word has it that they're one of the good guys – have been given for these three racing robots, but whatever their allegiances are, it's still pretty cool to see some US-bred NAScar racers in the movie.

The movie hits theaters on July 1st, 2011, making it another four-month wait for ardent fans of the franchise. And if you're fans of NAScar like we are, there's another reason – or three – to anxiously wait for the movie's release. Until then, check out the new Transformers trailer and keep a sharp eye out for those bad-ass NAScar Transformers.

Hertz and CODA Automotive Make All-Electric Transportation a Reality for Consumers

 CODA Automotive, a California-based electric car and battery company, and The Hertz Corporation , the world's largest general use airport car rental brand, entered into a partnership making 100% all-electric CODA„¢ Sedans available at select Southern California Hertz® locations.

"The 100 percent electric CODA was designed to meet the needs of most Americans with dependable, all-season range, and fast, convenient charging," said Mark Jamieson, CFO & COO, CODA Automotive. "With one of the world's largest rental car fleets, Hertz is uniquely positioned to catalyze the adoption of all-electric vehicles and infrastructure supporting electric mobility."

"Hertz is committed to the widespread use of electric vehicles globally and we are laying the foundation to make electric vehicle mobility a reality today," commented Mark P.

"The CODA Sedan represents an outstanding zero emissions solution, one that will appeal to the needs of our consumers from urban dwellers, travelers and corporations. Companies like CODA Automotive align with our vision to provide tomorrow's driving solutions to consumers today."

Hertz operates the world's largest fleet of general use airport rental cars with access to many different groups of consumers at over 8,300 locations. This access gives Hertz a unique opportunity to introduce the all-electric CODA to a broad group of potential consumers.

The partnership with CODA represents Hertz's commitment to developing a sustainable eco-system for alternative forms of transportation.
