It ‘a safe bet that no one expected the report of the Chevrolet Volt fire after a test crash National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to become a Congress scolding. The short story: NHTSA crash-tested a Volt in May, the car caught fire in June during storage, and NHTSA alerted the public about the fire in November. Some politicians have questioned whether politics played a role waiting until November to report the fire, and now a House panel is holding a hearing called “Fire-volt vehicle: NHTSA to know what they know and when” to find out.

According to the Detroit News, the proceedings have now drawn up by General Motors CEO Dan Akerson in his mouth, Akerson agreed to testify before the panel next week. Name Akerson did not realize how much a person of interest, so it seems that the panel is looking at all those who may have reason to know nothing of what has been called “the silence”.
