Welcome to Overdrive, a program that casts a critical eye at all things to do with motoring and transport.
This sound file is a full program. Other extended segments of the program such as the road test are also on the web site www.drivenmedia.com.au .
I’m David Brown
And in this program we have the latest news including:
- ‘Breathing’ Batteries to Power Future Electric Cars

- BMW, Nissan to take spotlight at Korea EV Expo as Hyundai skips

We often hear about car companies introducing new technologies but a lot of development is coming from the trucking industry. We get the latest from an expert in the field.
We road test the Ford Fiesta ST – a beaut little hot hatch.
And in our panel discussion with Brian Smith and Errol Smith we look at a range of subjects including:
- Colorado changes mile sign to foil thieves
- Back to the Future-style hoverboard ‘unveiled’ – maybe
- ‘Grieving’ owner gets stolen VW back after 40 years
