I’m most interested in the people and places and technologies – well-known or not – that are going to be critical in the push toward EVs. I’m proud of my reporting for Automotive News on the supply chain production halts and ramp up early in the pandemic in spring 2020. What story or stories are you most proud of?

For the 30 years I have been publishing Green Car Journal , the mission has always been to assess what’s ‘real’ and what is not, whether talking high efficiency/advanced technology vehicles or alternative fuels like hydrogen, ethanol, natural gas, electricity, or other fuels du jour. Then I share it on the pages of my magazine or website.

I also write the occasional story for our Automotive Engineering and ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle Engineering magazines. I most enjoy the stories that stem from firsthand experiences with new vehicles and their latest technologies – and the in-depth conversations with the engineers who developed them.

Vesna Brajkovic has been covering the transportation industry since 2016, including trucking, railroading, the automotive aftermarket and aviation. Constantly on my radar and well-received by HDT’s audience is: emerging technology, alternative fuel, and autonomous advancement. What is the motive behind this pitch?

My main coverage and writing focuses are the transportation technology world, and government and regulations related to the trucking and freight industries, along with other website and magazine duties. While working in local news in the Northeast, I covered a few big hurricanes and major blizzards that ravaged the area.

I am the managing editor of Automoblog and AutoVision News , two Detroit-based automotive publications. Most of our readers, be it from an engineering or a marketing background, are working on new technologies that will lead to fully-automated vehicles, intelligent cities, and more. LiDAR is a perfect example.

It’s great to see how safety technologies and creature comforts have evolved in the vehicles that we ultimately rely on to bring us our goods. Our Commercial Vehicle Group also won editorial excellence awards for investigative journalism, a technology article on hydrogen trucks, and editorial use of data. Any pet peeves with PR people?

What advice do you have for PR people that want to pitch you? I get lots of pitches for stories on the automotive industry, which occasionally cross over, but it’s rare. There’s plenty of relevant material vying for my attention, so I’m likely not to respond to pitches that are not related to the industry I cover.

I attended a symposium at the Engine Research Center, at the University of Wisconsin in Madison two summers ago entitled Technologies to Meet Ultra-Low NOx Standards, which should supply an excellent background for that article. I met an independent developer who was working on an advanced automotive diesel in 1973.
