WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will outline incentives to promote development of more fuel-efficient cars and to make it easier for people to buy and operate next-generation vehicles during an election-year visit Wednesday to a North Carolina truck plant.

The morning after Super Tuesday voting, Obama was continuing a schedule of weekly visits to politically important states with his trip to a Daimler truck plant in Mount Holly, N.C. With the price of gasoline at its highest levels for this time of year, Obama once again was promoting policies he says will result in less foreign oil dependency over the long term.
