Toyota Hybrid
The issues above present a clearer picture for every consumer, on why it is very important to invest on fuel efficient hybrid vehicles. Here are two more reasons below why a hybrid vehicle should be on top of your list when choosing a family or a personal car to purchase this year.
The Green Movement - One of the many reasons, why people prefer hybrid vehicles, is that consumers nowadays are more sensitive and knowledgeable about the ill-effects of greenhouse gasses on the environment. The rapidly depleting ozone layer, the quickly melting polar ice caps and the breaking of Arctic shelves, as well as the various weather changes that have affected so many people across the globe, have all encouraged consumers to be more caring for the environment, and less concerned about how a vehicle may look or even cost, as long as it is environment-friendly.
Various government policies have also been very supportive of the green movement, encouraging industries to cut down on carbon emissions and help consumers find alternative means other than using products that could contribute to the pollution of the environment. Many government agencies are frequently required to check vehicles if they are running within the state's policies with regards to smoke belching, oil usage and fuel efficiency ratings.
Low Fuel Consumption - Hybrid vehicles were primarily developed to answer the growing demand of consumers for more efficient fuel consumption from their vehicles. Cars like the Toyota Prius offers a highly effective fuel system that allows the vehicle to save on fuel over long distances. With these innovations, consumers can save thousands of dollars every year on refueling alone.
On another note, drivers running hybrid vehicles are also provided with various tax benefits as well as discounts for bulk purchases and upgrades. For those driving electric cars, there's are also several free maintenance and charging offer.



Toyota Rav 4


TOYATO RAV 4Later, to facilitate charging of electric cars and hybrid vehiclesEven the power cable with a long cable suspended. Enough of the electric car car parked on a single charge.Toyota joint venture called WiTricity develop the new technology. With this technology, Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid-sufficient or a Toyota RAV4 EV could do to the electric cars parked in the vicinity of a special tool to recharge. This tool provides to send the battery without wires. No direct contact with the car.According to Toyota calls this technology is more efficient than electromagnetic induction technology WiTricity power 3.3 kW, comparable to the rate of the charger cable with 2 broadcast today. In the laboratory, the efficiency reaches 90% or 10% in transit between the supply lost to the car.
Back WiTricity already developed the technology to charge cell phones, laptops, televisions, and Toyota took this technology to develop the car to refuel. If successful, it will give you a big advantage because the    future of electric cars are more dominant.
Like what exactly this technology. His name is resonant wireless. WiTricity uses near the so called very magnetic. Charger in direct contact with sources of electricity in the home and office remain. The charger is equipped with a magnetic resonator equipped generates a magnetic field nearby. Dibenda be in the care of this car in the tidal wave receiver / receiver. Power radiated by magnetic waves Dikiim nearby field.


The current can penetrate a distance wireless obstacles like walls. You can also send electricity on a number of tools at once. The electrical energy can not generate tool that only accept gelobang frequency has been approved. If not, the frequency can not accept.



This technology is different from electromagnetic induction. This technology is indeed the rechargeable wireless devices. The gadget is in force and remain with a special base. However, it is exactly the basis special cables are needed to power the energy source at home.



BMW EfficientDynamics hybrid sports car

The BMW Group officially introduced the concept of environmentally clean sports car EfficientDynamics, which the public will be presented in September at the Frankfurt Motor Show. As stated in a press release, the car combines the dynamics of the "charged" version of the BMW M-and high fuel efficiency of hybrids.

A prototype of BMW EfficientDynamics in landing formula 2 +2 is built on an aluminum chassis and most of his body is created from a special polycarbonate glass, which automatically darken in bright sunlight. The car is equipped with a hybrid power plant consisting of a three-cylinder 163-strong turbodiesel capacity of 1.5 liters, which works in tandem with robotized transmission with dual-clutch, and two electric motors - one for each axis. This capacity is located in the front 80-strong motor, if necessary, can for 30 seconds to increase to 112 horsepower, or 10 seconds - up to 139 horsepower. The total capacity of the powerplant makes 356 horsepower and maximum torque of 800 Nm.


In these BMW, from zero to "hundreds" of a concept sports car can accelerate in 4.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 250 kilometers per hour, limited to that point electronics. Average fuel consumption of cars is equal to 3.76 liters per hundred kilometers, and the level of emissions CO2 - 99 grams per kilometer. Cruising prototype BMW EfficientDynamics when moving in pure electric is 50 kilometers, connecting the diesel increases to 690 kilometers.


As detailed in the company of BMW, the distribution of energy, time to connect motors and other components of the work of the power plant is calculated computer, which through the data with navigation systems, automatic stop and start the engine is able to "predict" situation on the road in front of the car. In accordance with this system prepares the necessary systems to work and accumulates and redistributes the energy to their work.

Charge lithium-polymer battery power pack from ordinary household outlet with 220 volts will take 2,5 hours, and at a voltage of 380 volts only 44 minutes. In addition, the car is equipped with a system of energy recovery during braking.

As previously reported, the serial version of the sports car BMW EfficientDynamics will be the end of 2012 and will be released a limited series.
