Trust us. Nothing quite like the stunning — and awkwardly named — BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept has ever been seen at the normally staid 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show.

For this year's German show, the Bavarians have conjured up a vision of future transportation that is not only visually arresting, but boasts the performance of an M3 with the environmental impact of a Prius. In other words, a truly "sustainable sports car," as so characterized by one BMW executive (and numerous bloggers).

This new performance version of the Fiat 500 Abarth confirms the link between Abarth and Ferrari based on shared values that include a passion for performance, a racing soul, attention to detail and Italian style.

Abarth and Ferrari are two great names that have contributed, with conviction and dedication, to the legend of Italian racing that is known around the world. The legendary men behind both marques followed very similar careers: first drivers, then tuners and finally heads of companies that command genuine respect in the world of motor racing. These extraordinary men were associated in the past: in 1953, for example, a unique Ferrari-Abarth was born, the Ferrari 166/250 MM Abarth. The car raced in various international trophies including the legendary Mille Miglia. The tie between the two companies has been reinforced above all by the exhaust systems designed by Abarth specifically for the cars built at Maranello: numerous exhaust systems have been made for various Ferrari models, some of which have won World Championship titles.

The two brands have recently renewed their collaboration. The first result of this was the supply of a limited and numbered series of Fiat 500 Abarth's to Ferrari's European dealers in recent months for use as "courtesy cars". | Video Source : www.youtube.com

Dodge Caliber 2009 VS Dodge Challenger 2009 Black

2009-07-29T07:44:00.004+07:00

Forget new Dodge Caliber 2009 and see power full cars Dodge Challenger 2009 Black from KW Automotive. You can download the wallpaper rather then you use Dodge Caliber 2009 as your computer wallpaper.

KW teaches the Challenger how to take bends

-- Running gear manufacturer KW refines the Dodge Challenger
-- Coilover Variant 1 inox line with stainless steel casing
-- Forged wheels HRE 995R in 10x22 and 11x22 inches
-- Gull-wing doors with LSD-hinges

Fichtenberg – Only a few are left. The changed spirit of time and the crisis of the American car manufacturers diminish the number of classical muscle cars. The Dodge Challenger belongs to this minority. With its brawny shapes, the edged radiator grill and an engine with an enormous cubic capacity, the car is a real American. But this also applies for its road holding. The running gear specialist KW helps to improve the weaknesses in taking bends. With high-quality components, KW makes the Challenger unique and at the same time preserves the character of the American.

425 hp (313 kW) – that is the power behind the 6.1-litre SRT HEMI V8-engine. Thus, the road cruiser has enough propulsion. Therefore, KW has not concentrated on the engine performance apart from fitting a K&N sport air filter and a completely new exhaust system. But when it comes to its road holding characteristics in bends, KW has performed many changes. The running gear specialist from Fichtenberg in Germany fits its running gear Variant 1 in the stainless steel version inox line. The factory-made damping is optimally adjusted to the Challenger SRT8 and renders the perfect balance between sporty and tense adjustment and enough remaining comfort. The running gear is approved by the Technical Control Board and is equipped with an operating license and offers a lowering area from 10 to 50 millimetres on both axles. The stainless steel casing guarantees that the components inside remain continuously flexible even when they are strained more in winter.

In order to make the ideal use out of the new running gear and its perfected road holding, KW co-operated with the high-class manufactory HRE Wheels. The manufacturer equips the Challenger with forged light-alloy wheels HRE 995R in brushed aluminium which shine in a satin black rim well. With their three-part construction, the wheels not only impress with their striking appearance, but also with their premium manufacture. They are available in the dimensions 10x22 inches at the front- and 11x22 inches at the back axle. The applied high-performance wheels Dunlop SP Sport Maxx in 265/35 ZR 22 at the front and 295/30 ZR 22 at the back render the best possible grip.

The exhaust system by Magnaflow renders the right sound for the sporty appearance. The 18-inch prime pipe branches into a two-pipe system and powerfully roars at the back with four polished 3.5-inch end pipes.

But running gear, wheels and sound were not enough for kW. Therefore, the doors of the refined Dodge Challenger can be opened upwards thanks to LSD-hinges. The adjustable Guided Roller System (GRS) renders safety and precision when opening and closing the doors. Moreover, the LSD-hinges have proved in side crash tests that they offer the same safety as the original doors. The gull-wing doors add the finishing touches to the American car and complete the unique refinement.

It was not an easy task for KW to remodel the Dodge Challenger. The aim was to perfect a classic car of the American Way of Life without reducing the myth of the muscle car. This balance has been perfectly accomplished by the running gear manufacturer.

Just like sexy women in red shirt, Alfa Romeo MiTo is as hot and sexy women of your dream. Just check the sexy picture of Alfa Romeo MiTo in red and white body color.You can download and use the sexy picture as computer wallpaper.

Alfa Romeo has introduced a new downsized engine to the compact MiTo that will improve output while cutting fuel consumption and emissions. The so-called MultiAir 1.4-liter four cylinder is available in normally aspirated and turbocharged variants in three power levels: 105, 135 and 170 hp. The key to the MultiAir concept is an electro-hydraulic valve control that allows the engine management system to directly control the intake valves in response to driver acceleration demands without a throttle. BMW has had the same concept on its six cylinder engines for several years under the ValveTronic name.

The MultiAir system allows the engine to produce 10% more power and 15% more torque while consuming 10% less gas than a conventional throttle version of the same engine. CO2 emissions are also cut by 10% while particulates and NOx are cut by 40% and 60% respectively. The MiTo with MultiAir will be available in Europe starting in September.

Picture of old Fiat 500 and 2009 Fiat 500 Abarth

2009-06-12T19:07:00.007+07:00

Hai, people talking about Fiat 500 and i looking over the web and find this old picture of Fiat 500. Thanks to internet we can share Fiat 500 picture and may be can bring back old memories with Fiat 500 car.

To most Americans this will be your first glimpse of the Abarth-tuned Fiat 500, and although not as cute as the Fiat Cinquecento (500) minicar, being built with Ford, it's still quite nice and nothing like the gangster style gas guzzlers Chrysler has tried to hawk the past couple of years. This one comes with more power to love as the Fiat-owned Abarth have turbo'ed up their 1.4-liter gas engine.

With the touch of a pen to a paper and a scrawled signature or two, the short leg of the Big 3 kissed what's left of a American dealer empire, "arriverderci" and yelled, "ciao" to Fiat. With that, Chrysler completed its alliance with Fiat thereby ending its quick trip through bankruptcy. Chrysler got $6.6 billion in exit financing -- whatever that means. How much, if anything, will trickle down to small mom and pop shops that fed Chrysler parts and services over the years, nobody knows and Chrysler doesn't seem to care.

Toyota one step a head to safe our earth from climate change impact

2009-06-11T05:39:00.005+07:00

People now talk about climate change and it's impact on our live. You can hear from the news or watch on the TV. There is one new TV show, EARTH 2100 from ABC station, with main topic focus on climate change and alternative energy.Of course we all know that automotive industry already in track to minimize the climate change impact and one of them is Toyota.

Toyota has developed the 2010 Lexus HS 250h as the world's first hybrid luxury car. The Toyota Hybrid offers different driving modes to minimize engine noise while maximizing fuel efficiency.

Toyota Motor Corporation has unveiled the first hybrid car to feature luxury while delivering maximum fuel efficiency. The 2010 Lexus HS 250h is a new generation vehicle built using ecologically advanced materials. The eco-friendly automobile is powered by a four-cylinder Atkinson-cycle gas engine and the latest hybrid system.

Toyota has designed the Lexus hybrid with an exhaust heat recovery system which reduces parasitic losses. It also provides different driving selectable modes. Engineers designed the intake system which reduces engine pumping losses while minimizing noise.

The Toyota 2010 Lexus has a cooling system which uses a modular construction that combines an aluminum engine radiator. It is also used for the hybrid system radiator and AC condenser. The aluminium structures are used to minimize weight.

Lexus HS 250h uses a two-motor hybrid system to deliver a combined 147 horsepower. The second motor serves as both engine starter and generator to charge the hybrid batteries. The complete system uses an electronic controlled continuously variable transmission (CVT) that runs smooth and offers quiet operation.

The Toyota Hybrid car also incorporates a drive-mode switch that involves the driver and the vehicle to interact. The driver can select among four modes include Power, Normal, Eco and EV. Each switch position changes the rate of throttle opening for a given throttle-pedal angle.

While the Lexus Hybrid normal mode has an essentially linear throttle action to give progressive power, its Eco mode has a throttle actuation on the engine and drive motor to adjust fuel economy. The Toyota Eco mode also assists the driver in achieving improved fuel efficiency when running the A/C and for the hybrid battery coolant.

The Toyota Hybrid Power mode can be selected for a more responsive feel when desired. Under certain circumstances, a new driver-selectable EV mode can allow the vehicle to be driven short distances using only the electric motors. The overall performance is pleasing and the automobile runs very quiet under these conditions.

Toyota has paid much attention to the aerodynamics on the Lexus HS 250h. The automaker set ambitious goals requiring designers to work closely with engineers from the outset to create low-drag in an attractive, spacious, yet compact package. Their work yielded a top-in-class 0.27 coefficient of drag (Cd), which makes a considerable contribution to fuel economy, especially at highway speeds.

The HS 250 is expected to achieve an EPA-estimated 35 mpg city and 34 mpg on the highway for a combined 35 mpg. Careful drivers can use the Eco mode in conjunction with a new hybrid system monitor plus eco-driving indicator to improve on these numbers in certain conditions. The expected fuel efficiency is more than 20-percent better than the most fuel-efficient model currently in the Lexus lineup, while earning a SULEV emissions rating utilizing regular 87-octane gasoline.

In addition, Toyota offers a 48-month/50,000 mile basic limited warranty on all new Lexus automobiles. The powertrain and restraint system coverage is provided for 72 months/70,000 miles. The hybrid-related components, including the HV battery, battery-control module, hybrid control module and inverter with converter, are covered for eight years/100,000 miles.

Lamborghini V8 and V12 Hybrid Car

2009-06-10T06:11:00.002+07:00

Although anathema to some fans of the Italian sports car, the Lamborghini of the future can have a hybrid power.
Known for thirsty V8 and V12s, Lamborghinis represent excessive consumption.
But the company, which wants to reduce its emissions 35 percent by 2015, based on hybrid technology to help you achieve balance, according to U.S. Today.
Future Lamborghinis, as well as more aerodynamic and lighter in weight, can also rely on biofuels.
The company is investing $ 49 million in new technologies to achieve the goal of reducing carbon FastCompany reports.
Solar photovoltaic panels in the factory of the company have already helped to reduce energy use 20 percent, and last year was a normally aspirated Gallardo LP 560-4 that 18 percent had reduced CO2 emissions.
The market in North America has shown its willingness to take sport cards. The $ 100,000 electric Tesla Roadster are now sold in Canada, and there is a waiting list for all customers.

Do you know that 20% of all vehicles sold in U.S. to be hybrids by 2020 ?

2009-05-29T05:39:00.000+07:00

According to a recent study by JP Morgan, hybrid sales are about to take off. Last year, there were total of 480,000 hybrid vehicles sold around the world, which represents less than 1% of global sales. In 2020, however, JPMorgan predicts that 11.28 million hybrids will be sold annually, representing over 13% of all vehicles sold.
Much of the increase in sales will go to the United States, as the report suggests that hybrid capture almost 20% of the total market share in this country. The study suggests that the increase in sales of hybrid vehicles will be influenced by factors such as increased pressure from government agencies to reduce fuel consumption and vehicle emissions in general, and a drastic reduction in the cost of hybrid technology.
Of course, it is logical that the production of hybrid cars, will benefit from the uptick in sales of hybrid vehicles, but the study of JPMorgan also portend good things for the ailing supplier industry, which produces most of the hybrid drivetrain components used by all automobile manufacturers around the world.
What percentage of U.S. new vehicle sales cree that hybrids will represent you in 2020? Take our poll after the jump!

New hybrid cars in 2011 will gain better mileage

2009-05-29T03:33:00.002+07:00

The new hybrid cars coming to market new government are meeting the standards of carbon emissions and fuel economy. Some of the new hybrid cars are now offering up to 50 MPG, but that's nothing compared to what will happen in 2011. Car manufacturers are making good progress under the hood that will make hybrid cars in 2010 seem too conventional.
For example, the Toyota Prius can offer consumers a 50 MPG in the classification of the combined fuel economy. The car offers better mileage with enhanced performance compared to current hybrids. The vehicle of ultra-low emissions and the journey is very reassuring.
The electric motor is a permanent magnet synchronous motor, which can put a 80 horsepower with 153 lb-ft of torque. The hybrid system net power of 134 products. The hybrid battery nickel-metal hydride.
The vehicle also requires no belts under the hood for better fuel economy and less potential maintenance. This is one of the reasons that this is an ecological car. The driver can also get information from the multi-information screen, which can assist economic driving habits.
Hybrids potential consumers can save maintenance costs associated with belt replacements. The cars seem to offer 3 levels of savings. First, save money on gas, then you save money in future maintenance costs and repairs, and you get a tax credit for purchasing a new hybrid car.
The more you look at the hybrid alternative fuel, plus the amount of savings to maintain. Why buy a gas guzzling vehicle when traditional gas prices are rising again? Over the past 12 months or so it seems unlikely that a car manufacturer could provide a rating of 50 MPG on any car. Suddenly it happened, and then we witnessed the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid more than 1400 miles of travel on a single tank. This marks the equivalent of 80 miles per gallon.
Car manufacturers really deserve recognition for their advances in green technology and better fuel economy. While Chevrolet is betting all its Chevy Volt, other car manufacturers seem to be a step forward. Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Ford and deliver what consumers are today, but it seems like General Motors Corp is in a do-or-die situation.
GM claims that the Chevrolet Volt can drive up to 100 MPG on a single tank of gas. Do not know what percentage of the electrical energy is, or the size of the tank. Even so, the use of fuel to power the vehicles will be a thing of the past, as the hybrid market matures.

How to get most hybrids, Toyota, Honda rush to produce smaller models

2009-05-28T11:15:00.000+07:00

In Japan, it is difficult to reach if the hybrids are a niche for drivers eager to demonstrate their environmental credentials. In April, the new Honda Insight, you want the sale in February, was the country's best-selling car (excluding 660cc minicars). Toyota, meanwhile, received a record 80,000 orders for the third generation Prius, which was launched last week. The previous record, held by a compact Toyota, was 47,000. These figures suggest, at least in Japan, car hybrids are the part of the mainstream.

Just as saying revving Honda and Toyota are plans for a new generation of models of smaller gas electric. According to a report today from the local media, Honda will present a hybrid version of its compact 18 months in fall 2010. The Nikkei newspaper, without citing its sources, said that the hybrid will sell for $ 15,800, compared with $ 19,900 of Insight. Like the Insight, which used an engine of 1.3 liters over the IMA hybrid system. The reports added that Honda expects sales of about 50,000 hybrids fit into the market a year-roughly one third of the number sold in 2008, regular fit. Toyota Yaris is working on a hybrid of that size can affect the market in 2011 and is likely to sell for a similar price.

Both are being shown how quickly Toyota and Honda are cutting the costs of hybrids. Until recently, the idea that anyone could sell hybrids smaller without incurring losses seemed fanciful. After all, the hybrid systems add cost and weight to any size car. For smaller vehicles, which are lighter and tend to be the least profitable automaker alignments, the problems are obvious.

However, if the report is correct, it sounds just as Honda hopes additional savings on your system. For the new Insight, which won the "hybrid premium"-the cost of adding the system compared to a similar sized car under $ 2000. Honda, which makes as much profit from each sale Insight, because of the sale on a regular basis.

Toyota, too, insists that they can compete in smaller hybrids. Speaking after the launch of the new Prius last week, its chief engineer Akihiko Otsuka told me that the critics were wrong in thinking that their "parallel" hybrid system, which is more complex than the Honda's "mild" the version is too expensive for smaller cars. Otsuka said that Toyota, while the system uses two motors for Honda hybrids do not need a continuously variable transmission. That, he said, means that Toyota, despite needing larger batteries, it can make its hybrid system adequate for use even in smaller cars.

2010 Cars Offer Government incentives for new vehicles with tax credits for hybrid cars

2009-05-28T08:25:00.000+07:00

The new 2010 cars will soon change the future of transportation in conventional vehicles such as making the switch to hybrid vehicles. New cars also benefit from government incentives to use as a 2009 hybrid car tax credit. Hybrid vehicles can achieve better fuel efficiency and are driven by car manufacturers including Ford Motor Company, Toyota, Honda and General Motors.
If you're in the market to buy a new eco-car, you might want to check the Ford Escape Hybrid, the Toyota Prius or Honda Insight. These hybrids are the ones we have reviewed so far, and I'm sure the list will be maintained as the construction of the unit test and gather more information. Possessing one of the vehicles up the environment will also benefit from government incentives to get a hybrid car tax credit 2009.
While GM may be heading for bankruptcy on June 1, 2009, it is clear which direction the car is heading. There are three prototypes of a new electric vehicle known as the Chevy Volt. The Volt can plug in any outlet of 110 volts to recharge.
Only time will tell if the hybrid cars will reduce American dependence on foreign oil. However, one thing is sure that the battery electric cars are fuel efficient. The conclusion is, this will save time and price at the pump for car owners. The other issues to consider are the distances and the units of miles to a person every day.
United States suffered the worst gas crisis in 2008. Prices rose nearly $ 5.00 per gallon in some states, while the national average was about $ 4.50. Small cars were the cost drivers as much as $ 80 to fill up at the pump. Skeptics argue that the car manufacturers 20 years of delay, while foreign countries are the price measure.
Some people have often wondered how hybrid cars work. This would be another topic for debate, but it is very fascinating. Most people believe that running a cable from the electrical outlet in the vehicle will do the trick. However, some car manufacturers are coming with some new techniques.
Some car manufacturers are using the brake pedal as a way to power accessories such as air conditioning by sending the energy directly to the battery to store a charge. This method is the use of all possible ways to produce energy without taxing the driver's comfort and ability to drive.

Honda plan for hybrid car next year

2009-05-28T07:20:00.001+07:00

We will see a hybrid Honda Fit approximately 18 months earlier than planned because the company wants to tap the growing demand for fuel and low emission vehicles.

Honda and Toyota are seeing strong demand for its new hybrids, with Toyota received 80,000 orders for the new Prius and Honda sales analysis from 20,000 in February. Desiring to build on this success, Japan's No. 2 automaker will roll a hybrid form in the third quarter of next year, Reuters reported, citing the Nikkei business daily. Nikkei says the car will cost $ 15,800.
The Insight and the appropriate gas-electric hybrids are among four Honda plans to introduce in 2012, the others are a new hybrid Civic and the CR-Z sports car. There are also rumors that the replacement of the S2000 roadster could be an all-wheel-drive car with a system for recovering kinetic energy, if not a hybrid drivetrain.

The first debut 2010 Toyota Prius will be in Japan

2009-05-27T09:52:00.000+07:00

The new Toyota Prius has made its way to consumers in Japan, and so far has not been great reviews on the hybrid. Toyota has made some changes to the hybrid in 2010 and added some developments in the solar ventilation, which uses the built-in solar panels on the roof of the moon. One of the key functions in the electric car is the new hybrid drive system that uses a 1.8-liter engine.

Toyota Prius is coming in over 80 countries worldwide. The release date is different to other markets, as demand increases. Toyota has more than 75,000 orders for its new hybrid car. The hybrid vehicle is to use the new benefits in terms of fuel efficiency in its 2010 vehicles with more higher torque and higher engine speed operation.

When you start using a new hybrid system for the recovery of exhaust heat to warm the engine. The Toyota hybrid belts under the hood which reduces the amount of future maintenance repairs. It also uses electric water pump to reduce the inefficient loss of fuel in the automotive industry.

Toyota also redesigned the transaxle and batteries to reduce weight and provide more cabin space. There is a Touch Tracer View links to the contact on the steering control. It responds to the new instrument panel display to simplify operation of air conditioning and audio system.

The 2010 Hybrid is equipped with a solar ventilation system was not found in conventional vehicles. Use a roof-mounted solar batteries on the market of fresh air in the cabin when you keep the temperatures and reducing the load on air conditioners. In addition, in-car air-conditioning can be run from outside the vehicle with the push of a button on the Smart Key.

How far future hybrid cars can run ?

2009-05-27T08:43:00.000+07:00

Hybrid cars are built to extend the journey, while reducing carbon dioxide emissions and gasoline. Most hybrids today offers commuters a day 40 miles of electric batteries. The future of hybrids and electric plug cars promise to provide 100 miles on one battery charge.
However, if you can imagine, or connect electric hybrid that can travel by car across the longer distances? A vehicle that can get to New York and arrive in Los Angeles without a drop of gasoline? There are whispers in the auto industry, the new has come "very soon".
I do not usually report on rumors or gossip, but this one does not pass, because we have received some news from a variety of legal advice sources. What I can not report is what is the automaker because the organization does not know who he is, but because we are not able to verify. We do not know all the details, but something is definitely going on, which will probably surprise automotive electrical shortly.
If you think about it, the government can no longer know who is an animator hybrid. Maybe this is not a hybrid, and this is an entirely new electric car? The government is trying to pass federal legislation requiring vehicles on the road to a higher MPG ratings.
The 2010 Ford Fusion can travel to 1,445 miles on one tank of gas. This requires a number of techniques by trained drivers to achieve, but proved to be possible. We do not know a lot about the Chevy Volt GM, because it was very secret about it.
There is also news that Nissan had a breakthrough with the latest EV electric car prototype. Details sketchy on that. Toyota Prius has a new, but already I know about 50 MPG mileage.
If the government knows something we do not, which requires it to pass new legislation the minimum MPG ratings, the Obama administration could very well be planning to put people to work. This may involve new coast to coast electric fuel infrastructure that can be used for hybrid cars. There are states including Hawaii and Washington, which they plan to refueling stations for their local towns.
A person may be traveling on route 66 and can be found on the local dennys. While they ate, the vehicle may be loaded at the same time. In addition, you can rest at a motel in his car electric battery is connected to the refueling station.
Something goes very quickly, but I do not think this is a new vehicle. I believe that this is a new electric refueling infrastructure, which will be available at restaurants, motels, or resorts. There must be a new electric car, but it is something we are not able to verify.

New hybrid cars offer more alternative fuel technologies

2009-05-25T04:29:00.002+07:00

There was an old saying that if the new hybrid cars can reach 35 or more miles per gallon, the industry and encourage the exchange of automotive batteries. Today, these semi-electric vehicles are capable of reaching 50 to 80 miles per gallon. While some manufacturers provide feedback information to use techniques to extend the driver's mileage, some hybrid cars are greater mileage without using the instructions of the controller.
The Toyota Prius can offer consumers a 50 MPG in the classification of the combined fuel economy. The car offers better mileage with enhanced performance compared to current hybrids. The vehicle of ultra-low emissions and the journey is very reassuring.

Subaru introduce a gas-electric hybrid car by 2012

2009-05-24T12:05:00.001+07:00

Subaru is the latest in a line of manufacturers to announce plans to enter the hybrid market. Other major brands of cars to enter the planning of a first hybrid in the coming years include Audi, BMW, Hyundai, Mazda, Mercedes, Porsche and Volkswagen. The movement toward hybrids, the most fuel-efficient vehicles on the road, was accelerated due to increased fuel efficiency and emissions standards more stringent standards issued in the United States recently. Automakers must meet standards of efficiency averaged 35.5 miles per gallon in 2016, four years ahead of schedule before. Europe and Japan are also applying more stringent standards.

"We will benefit from our partnership with Toyota," said Ikuo Mori, president and CEO of Fuji Heavy, after a press conference launching the new Legacy model. Mori did not specify which Subaru hybrid vehicle could get treatment. Qualities of the Subaru brand outdoor-yet-urban and progressive are well suited to hybrid buyers.

Auto sales in Japan and the United States have had a spectacular year of submission of this hybrid gas-electric cars but, like the Honda Insight and Toyota Prius, have a recovery in Japan in the last month or two. The Japanese government has introduced a series of incentives for hybrids and other fuel vehicles, which have apparently produced positive results.

A future hybrid Subaru is not the first foray into the green car technology. A few years ago, the company unveiled the Subaru B5 TPH (Turbo Parallel Hybrid for) a concept of a two-seater sports car, all wheel drive Grand Tour, combining elements of a sporty coupe door, and Outback sport-utility . Its turbocharged 2.0-liter boxer four is coupled with a very thin electric motor-generator. Lithium-ion batteries for Subaru B5 TPH were co-developed by NEC and Fuji Heavy Industries Corp.

Subaru has been testing its R1e, all electric city car. The diminutive two-seater, about 20 inches longer than a Smart ForTwo, has a maximum speed of 65 miles per hour and a range of 50 miles. The real innovation of the R1e could be the car's charging system is also fast with NEC. The system promises a full recharge of the 346-volt lithium-ion battery in about 15 minutes or less. Subaru R1e has about 40 electric cars in the fleets of Japan and has been evaluating two R1es in the United States, in collaboration with the New York Power Authority.

Toyota and Fisker unveil new hybrid cars

2009-05-19T03:24:00.002+07:00

On monday, 18 May 2009, Toyota unveiled redesigned 2010 hybrid cars Toyota Prius hybrid. Toyota already has 80,000 people who orders for the new Prius and it will take 8 to 12 months for Toyota to clear the backlog of orders.The New Karma hybrid cars operates on its battery alone for the first 50 miles, then switches to hybrid mode, a mixture of gasoline and electricity. Drivers whose daily range of mileage is below 50 miles may be able to operate strictly on battery power.

The fact behind hybrid cars

2009-05-15T04:35:00.000+07:00

The hybrid cars currently on the market range from $ 3500 to $ 6000 more per vehicle than cars with comparable gas engines. This means that the amount of money you save or not save, by buying a hybrid is largely dependent on gas prices. Not surprisingly, the average hybrid buyer is substantially higher than the average revenue car buyer - $ 100,000 versus $ 85,000.

Hybrid buyers can save on gas, but it is a sport much more expensive battery. The cost of hybrid batteries range from $ 1,000 to $ 3,000, although we have received reports from some owners of hybrid quoted $ 4800 to $ 8000! This could be due to the high demand for hybrid vehicles. And while the hybrid battery can be covered by the warranty of the car once the warranty expires, you may be in more than one "office" than you expected.

Types of hybrid cars and the brands

2009-05-15T04:28:00.001+07:00

Hybrid vehicles have been developed to save the world's oil and resources to produce emission reductions. Hybrids are a combination of gasoline engine combustion and the electric motor. The power of these cars, several propulsion packages is used. Electric batteries are used for the handle of the electric motors. The batteries of the modern commercially produced hybrids are recharged by the acquisition of kinetic energy through the regenerative braking used in the Toyota Prius or Honda Insight hybrid-electric vehicle.

There are many types of hybrid cars. These types are distinguished by the connection between electricity and fuel for half the power and the period of operation of each part.

1. Full hybrid

You can only work on the engine or the battery alone, or combined both energy sources. These cars have more drive train flexibility due to the presence of dividing the power path. The mechanical and electrical energy is interconverted. Differential-style linkage is used for vehicles in the center of the engine and motor for the transfer of the head to bring the balance of power of each party.

Toyota Prius and Highlander hybrid SUV is filled with computer-operated systems that decides which power source to be running, or if both must work together. To operate in its normal mode, power is used, and the gasoline engine will only work if required or if the electric motor is turned off.

2. Assist hybrid

These hybrids use the engine as the main source of power. A powerful electric motor is connected to a conventional power train. Operates when there is a need for the engine to be delivered and when the driver requires more cranking power.

This design is used by Honda's hybrid cars, like the Insight. It complements the company's reputation in the production of gasoline engines that are small and efficient. Honda system is called Integrated Motor Assistance. The difference in the Assistance to the full text of the hybrids is that it can not work alone on electric power.

3. Mild hybrid

Conventional vehicles are equipped with engines that are oversized boot. The advantage of this is that the engine can be turned off when the car is braking, coastal or stop the movement, and still be able to restart without any problem at all. Like other hybrids, energy is recaptured by the use of motor regenerative braking.

Some people do not consider the softer variety and hybrid cars, because they save fuel compared to other types. Chevrolet used this system for your car Silverado, and improved fuel efficiency, causing the engine to shut down or restart the application. General Motors created the belt alternator starter hybrid system in the Saturn VUE Green Line cars. Its operation is more or less the same as the Silverado.

4. Plug-in hybrid

They are full hybrids that operate only with electric power, with bigger batteries and have the ability to recharge the energy of the electrical grid. The main benefits of using these vehicles is that they can be independent of gasoline in the short, daily trips, but can also have the ability of other hybrids when it comes to long distance journeys. They can also be used by multiple fuels to supplement electric power.

Companies such as Renault and DaimlerChrysler are producing cars that use this system.

Improved Fuel Economy Tips

2009-05-15T04:13:00.001+07:00

Make sure your tires are properly inflated. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, can improve fuel economy by about three per cent to ensure that your tires are properly inflated, but not enough people do it. U.S. Department of Energy said that nearly four million gallons of gas are wasted each day nationwide for every one psi of tire under-inflation. That translates to more than $ 10 million per day, or $ 3.8 billion per year in wasted gas money.
Proof of vehicle emissions to ensure that the engine is running efficiently. Fixing an engine that has failed an emissions test can improve gas mileage by four percent on average. That's the equivalent of 12 cents per gallon.
Changing your car oil and filters regularly. Change the oil regularly (as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer) will increase the life of the car. Clean oil reduces wear caused by friction between moving parts and removes harmful dirt and dust from the engine. The car's air filter keeps impurities in the air from damaging internal engine components. Not only replacing a dirty air filter improve fuel economy, is to protect the engine. Clogged filters can cause up to a 10 percent increase in fuel consumption.

World's First Individual Fuel Cell Vehicle Customer

2009-05-15T04:10:00.000+07:00

California Hydrogen Highway - The Spallino family, which lives in the Los Angeles area, will be among the first people to start using the first stations in California Hydrogen Highway refueling, a state in place the infrastructure to provide access the hydrogen refueling station on individuals. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger announced the state of a hydrogen highway in April this year, creating a public-private partnership to build the California Hydrogen Highway by 2010

Chinese in the project, Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage SUVs, powered by fuel cells manufactured by UTC Fuel Cells, which operate throughout Southern California and hydrogen refueling station ChevronTexaco. Of particular importance is the production of hydrogen from natural gas. Natural gas, with a distribution infrastructure, is crucial for the transition to hydrogen economy. This station will also have the ability to convert the future other sources of renewable fuels such as ethanol, into hydrogen for refueling fuel cell vehicles.

The hydrogen gas station - The EPA has commissioned a hydrogen fuel station at its National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Station compressed hydrogen gas for hydrogen vehicles in Southeast Michigan.
