(CSRwire) NEW YORK, N.Y. - United Technologies Corp. will celebrate a quarter century of arts support by underwriting at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York a major exhibition of rarely seen drawings by Vincent van Gogh and by commissioning three contemporary artists to create larger-than-life artwork in the SoHo section of New York City, UTC Chairman and Chief Executive Officer George David announced today.

Iveco LMV: Dangerous World
"You will be entering a world we seldom show to anybody," said the Fiat Group PR. How secret? Well, Iveco's British and Italian PR bosses admitted that they had never set foot in the headquarters of their shadowy military vehicles division. And the degree of security became even more evident when, after a slight wrong turn, our car was stopped by the very formal Carabinieri, who demanded to see our credentials, which they cross-checked with the ex-police factory security. When we did arrive, our passports were taken and the security police banned photographer Andrew Crowley from taking pictures of anything at all - strangers aren't warmly welcomed round here. .
Tata working on ultra-green 'air car'
A car that runs on air and releases no pollutants into the atmosphere at low speeds could be offered for sale in India as soon as this year. The three-seater fibreglass OneCAT weighs just 350kg and is expected to be priced at about £2,500. The technology under its bonnet is backed by Tata, the Indian conglomerate that sent a shockwave through the auto industry last month when it unveiled the world's cheapest car, the £1,250 Nano. Refuelling involves topping-up on compressed air, which is used to power the OneCAT's piston engine. In a couple of minutes - and at a cost of as little as £1 - the vehicle is ready to travel another 200 to 300 kilometres, its inventors say. The vehicle, which burns small amounts of conventional fuels at higher speeds, has been developed by Moteur Development International (MDI), a French-based, family-owned group that has been working on a roadworthy "air car" for the past decade.
