Ford Concept Cars characterized by Electric Vehicles 1967 Ford Comuta Offer electricity since 44 years ago
0 comments Posted by Frees at 4:32 AMDetroit - Amazing electric vehicles enliven the competitive automotive industry today. But who would have thought that established Ford has presented the futuristic concept of electric cars since44 years ago.
As reported by the official website of Ford, Ford has obviously introduced the advanced concept of electricvehicles with Ford's name on the competitive arena of Comuta Geneva Motor Show in 1967. Artistic Photographs of Comuta recalled by Ford UK as part of the celebration of 100th anniversary of Ford.

Artistic Photographs of Comuta recalled by Ford UK as part of the celebration of 100th anniversary of Ford.
Comuta as Ford concept car runs using powerful electric power, by being able to run to reach peak speeds up to 64km per hour and it reaches a distance of up to 64 km once the electric battery is full.
It is Natural and normal because the technology is still old school in 40 years ago. And if the vehicle is applied today, it would be well suited for metropolitan cities.

Recent cars have a obvious shortage because it's wasteful of non-renewable fuel. Though the current world oil prices increasingly continue creeping up, which of course it can make your pockets of motorists empty.
However, now the more eco-friendly cars can save fuel, even to do efficiency of 80 miles per gallon (mpg).
In addition, green cars also exploit lower carbon dioxide emissions, which of course it is aimed of making green cars.
Here, a number of green cars is the most economical and low emissions in the UK, quoted from msn.com:
1. Smart ForTwo CDI - 86g/km
This is the most economical car sold in the United Kingdom. Indeed, this car can not be used speeding on the street. This car also can be sold more expensive when we want to sell anymore. However, this car is the most fuel-efficient cars and low emission (86g/km). Unfortunately, its contain or passenger is only two-passenger capacity.
2. T4 Hybrid Toyota Auris - 89g/km
This car is a hybrid car from Toyota's latest output released to market. These cars using a petrol-electric running gear is the same as the Prius. However, it's emissions of 74.3 mpg only. Aerodynamic model applied to the Auris is also worthy of being your city car.
3. Toyota Prius T3 - 89g/km
Toyota Prius is the output in addition to Auris. This car is able to exploit emissions by using fuel 89g/km and it is only 72.4 mpg. In terms of speed, amazing Prius is superior to the Auris.
4. Skoda Fabia Greenline II - 89g/km
This is included to a VW Group car output moved by 1.2 liter TDI diesel engine. it's Capacity of five passengers, this car has low emissions, namely 89g/km.
5. Volkswagen Polo Bluemotion
This car is the best-selling efficient cars sold in the United Kingdom. Latest output Bluemotion can save up to 80.7 mpg fuel and it will produce emissions 91g/km. (Umi)

Finally, American electric car manufacturers can solve operational charging station due to Google Appoints Electric Car Battery Charging Locations
0 comments Posted by Frees at 2:34 AMCalifornia - Manufacturers such as GM and Nissan have started marketing the Volt electric car and LEAF this year. Various tools in the mobile and internet sites also appear to help find a car docking station which it is currently a major barrier of electric cars.
The newest is from Google. As reported by Reuters on Friday (3/11/2011) Google announced on his blog that Google is integrating public charging station data into Google Maps.
Data were also taken from the data Renewable Energy Laboratory of U.S. Department of Energy is building a public charging station called GeoEVSE.
Besides Google, mobile applications also began to emerge as latest namely that gave birth Xatori PlugShare application. Application helps mobile users to locate the nearest charging station.
The existence of these applications is expected to minimize the shortage of electric car that is about the distance of the home range.
Especially in the U.S. until the end of 2010, an estimated 1800 would have a public charging station, with most located in California.

KAWASAKI- Exciting Shimizu In Motor Wheel-Drive (SIM-Drive Corp) which is a authorized company based in Kawasaki, Japan, in late March declared that it successfully manufactured a four-seat electric car called "SIM-LEI ".
The advantages of this car, once the contents of the powerful battery, it can be used to cover a distance of 333 km with a test mode JC-08. When accelerated at a constant speed of 100 km / h, then the distance traveled by the battery capacity of 24.4 kWh (same as that used electric cars today) only 305 km. This car is planned to be launched in 2013.
Outer rotor
The technology is offered on the actual car is also designed for 8-wheel vehicle is using electric motor directly attached to the wheel. Actually, Professor Shimizu concept is not new. Michelin has also been showing off this technology. However, the reality is as yet there are companies that use them.
Electric car with the installation of electric motors directly on the wheels of late become a debate for the automotive experts. Because the electric motors in the wheels affects the work and brakes. The workload will increase in both components.
Nevertheless, the electric car developed by professor Hiroshi Shimizu, a professor of Keio University as well as President Director and CEO of SIM-Drive Corp., uses the concept of the motor opposite to that of today. In an electric car with a length of 4700 mm, width 1600 mm and 1550 mm height, and weight is 1650 kg, rotornya outside.
As an illustration, at current electric motor, the rotor (rotating part) are on the inside. As for the SIM, outside the rotor and stator (stationary part) are on the inside.
Actually in 2004, Hiroshi Shimizu has also introduced an electric car that is named Eliica. The concept, the electric motor mounted directly on wheels and equipped with a gear reduction. Now, with the rotor on the outside, no need to use the gear reduction. Added, the torque produced is also growing larger.
Performance
Consumption of electric cars that use alternating electric current is 77 watt-jam/km is equivalent to 70 km / liter of gasoline. SIM claims that this car can sprint from 0-100 km / h in 4.8 seconds and maximum speed 150 km / hour.
SIM-LEI using monokok chassis with "components together in order to" hollow that is used to place the batteries, inverters, and so forth. Further, the car developed since January 2010 and supported by 34 companies, including automakers and parts manufacturer in Japan. Two of the producers who helped this development is the Isuzu and Mitsubishi.

Barack Obama calmly states when GM achieve fantastic sales and marketing and said that Chevrolet Cruze "Car of Future"
0 comments Posted by Frees at 5:59 AMWASHINGTON -GM's Cruze rate as the spearhead change their philosophy in making cars, which began in early 2010. That's why a lot of new values brought revolutionary changes in this car, especially for the U.S. market.
For example, if GM offers the Cruze in her home country, the United States, uses 1.4 liter engine equipped with an air booster or turbocharger. As a result, the engine is of course much more efficient. According to GM, the fuel consumption is 17.0 km per liter.
Meanwhile, according to GM's release yesterday, President Barack Obama assess the Chevrolet Cruze as "Car of the Future" because, in addition to GM's global product, Cruze is expected to fight the Japanese and German cars that have been sized compact, economical fuel consumption, and environmentally friendly .
60 countries. Since it was first introduced at the Detroit Motor Show in 2009, Cruze has been launched in 60 countries. Its international sales had reached about 100,000 units. The success rate make Obama Cruze call it as a car of the future.
"Cruze has crossed into Europe and Asia, next to the United States, to undermine the status quo," said Jim Campell, GM's Chevrolet. "This is a real form of Chevrolet's effort in making cars more efficient and environmentally friendly," he added.
Ability Ecotech of 1.4 liter turbocharged engine is better than a larger capacity brother, but without the turbo. It's Power and greater torque. However, power was obtained at lower rotation and this certainly makes it more efficient alias fuel efficient! Naturally proud!
