the advantages and disadvantages of Hybrid engine


SANTA MONICA-Answer of the advantages and disadvantages of the two models of this machine is on Hybrida machine model. This model can take advantage of the myriad benefits that owned both. Hybrid engine will have an important role in the development of automotive history, as many as 40 to 50 percent of new car sales in 2040 will be dominated hybrid models.

"The potential for gasoline engines and its flexibility makes this model can not be compared with other energy sources. Gasoline was cheap and more compact in terms of volume, similar to nuclear material. Quite possible if the material will run out of gasoline in the face of the earth, then we will create it," said Engineering Edmunds.com editors, Jay Kavanagh.



prestige model with an internal combustion engine or internal combustion engines (ICE) as the gasoline engine will not be reduced in the near term. In fact, gasoline would still be a major force in the development of the automotive market in the decades to come.

Gasoline is still a need in the automotive world premiere, and the presence of gasoline-powered engine is actually not something alarming in the automotive industry.

Cars with electric engines will not predicted to affect the sales of the petrol engines in the years to come. Until now, only the electric engine to achieve sales of less than 0.09 percent of all new car market in the world. A study has also revealed that the data in 2040 all electric vehicle is only able to grab marketshare of less than one percent in sales.

Here are some points provided by Edmunds.com to show the advantages of the internal combustion engine (ICE).

ICE has a wider range. Reported when testing was conducted using the Tesla Model S electric car, need to charge the battery twice to reach 563 km. While an ordinary sedan, ICE, which has the same price can do so only by using a single fuel tank filled.

The biggest problem with electric cars is the time it takes to recharge. Tesla Model S fastest takes about half an hour to recharge the battery to 50 percent, whereas in a regular car just a few minutes until the fuel tank is filled.

ICE has growing potential. Although gasoline has been around since the first, but using them as efficiently as possible is a new thing. With some of the latest technology and automotive pabrilkan according to the Environmental Protection Agency, super efficient technology will grow 16 percent more efficient than now.

The environmental impact of electric cars is not yet clear. Electric cars are only as clean as the power generated to drive the propulsion of the vehicle. However, the effects of greenhouse gas emissions from the use of electric cars give 40 percent more severe impact than conventional cars.

More fundamentally is a matter of making the vehicle itself, the conventional engine cars will last longer, because electric cars use rare materials found on earth.

Nothing wrong with Ford Fusion Hybrid


Detroit - Ford himself said in their calculations, if the owner of the Ford Fusion Hybrid used cars normally within a period of 5 years, then this car could potentially help motorists to save about U.S. $ 6,850 or approximately USD 66 million when compared to conventional engine vehicles.

The company also said that they do a hybrid car sales at record pace with more than 19,000 units expected to be sold throughout the year.

"In fact, the C-MAX becomes fastest-selling hybrid has sold up to 8030 units in October and November, two months of the first C-MAX in the marketplace," the company said as quoted by the New York Times.


After being sued because they sold the dream as an economical car, car manufacturers to prove that their hybrid car is fuel efficient. In recent testing, the Ford Fusion Energy plug-in hybrid scoring efficiency rate of up to 42 km / liter.

The figure was printed by the Ford Fusion Energy plug-in hybrid models in 2013 were tested according to the standard methods of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

In testing, the Fusion Energy efficiency is to score points in the city to 92 mpg or 39.1 km / liter.

While the efficiency rate at higher motorway reaching 108 mpg, or about 45.9 km / liter. So if averaged, the efficiency of this car is 100 mpg or 42.5 km / liter.

Ford's test results as a federal lawsuit against the current as they face before failing to substantiate claims fuel efficiency of their two cars, C-Max and Fusion, as advertised.

Two cars 2013 model year Ford has an efficiency that advertised 47 mpg or about 19.9 km / liter, but the penggutat class action in the Eastern District Court of California said that Ford's marketing campaign was false and misleading.

Plaintiff, Richard Pitkin of Roseville, California, wants Ford to pay back a car that he and other car owners and cancel the purchase.

While McCuneWright law firm handling the case also wants Ford to stop false advertising and misinformation fix it.

These same law firm has filed a class action lawsuit against Hyundai-Kia over the same issue and sue Toyota over unintended acceleration cases that had a scene.

In testing the 'real world' does Consumer Reports magazine, a hybrid C-Max is only able to record the level of efficiency of 37 mpg or 15.7 km / liter, 21 percent lower than Ford claims.

While Fusion in testing only recorded 39 mpg or 16.5 km / liter or 8 mpg less than the claims of Ford. In fact, 80 percent of cars tested this magazine usually only about 2 mpg disputing claims by the same method that was also done by the manufacturer of the EPA method.

For differences on these results, EPA said that they will review the results of both.

"In advertising and marketing campaigns for cars, Ford claims that the C-Max Hybrid and Fusion Hybrid reached 47 miles per gallon," said the firm in a lawsuit McCuneWright.

"These materials are helping Ford achieve record sales for the two months of the first C-Max Hybrid, defeating his rival, Toyota hybrid (above) led the sales, but there is a problem. Ads are false," lugasnya.

"Both of these vehicles have a big difference between our calculations and the results were published by Ford and the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)," Consumer Reports said in a website.

Ford himself is currently campaigning for a car with high fuel efficiency over the last six years. U.S. government asked the automakers to achieve fuel efficiency targets average 54.5 mpg until 2025.

Fuel efficiency is highly dependent on the way ekesternal driving and other factors such as road conditions and the level of congestion. Ford has been testing the C-Max and Fusion fuel economy figures reported reaching more than 47 miles per gallon.

"This reinforces the fact that driving style and road conditions, and other factors may cause variations in the average fuel consumption," said Ford spokesman Wes Sherwood.

Claiming fuel efficiency of a vehicle which had been a problem. Hyundai-KIA previously had to apologize after proven wrong in claiming frugality level variants.

Therefore, the units have been provided BBGn gas tank and the tube contents can be claimed once for a distance of 700 km.

To explain the greatness of crossover, ë promote it through the Auto-vide on you tube.



Super capacitor
What is more, it turns out, as a source of energy to drive the electric motor is used superkapasitor, of course, lighter weight than lithium-ion batteries. In addition can fill up quickly also could supply the energy that is responsive to an electric motor. Kardena, not surprisingly, the ability to sprint from 0-100 kph diklaijm about 10 seconds.

One more thing, to get this capability, the car body is made of composite polimer.Sistem motion instead of just two wheels, but also can be 4x4 or all-wgheel drive (AWD). Even to drive a car, when mengadalkan power, two motors are used.

ë-Auto also claims fuel consumption is 28.5 kpl crossovernya. This is of course more interesting, because the price of increasingly expensive fuel oil. Even if a headache with a growing craze in oil prices, could have been moved to the BBG.

ë-crossover will be created by Prokhorive ONEXIM Group with Russian truck manufacturer Yarovit. At a news conference last week and quoted by several online automotive media, Porkhorive already planned to set up a second assembly plant in St. Petersburg so that production could be increased two-fold. In fact, through its website, has been serving Pre-order.
