REEV's unveiled by Tata Megapixel

This concept of Tata Car has a double sliding door system without pillars and a panoramic roof made ​​Megapixel more appropriate as a concept car design Europeans rather than India.

PRODUCER of cars from India did not want to miss this show of skill at the Geneva Motor Show. This time Tata Megapixel display concept which is described as the concept of smart four-seater urban vehicle-tech global extended range electric vehicle (REEV).

This vehicle was able to walk as far as 900 km with one refueling. Electric vehicle is equipped with Lithium batteries with a capacity of 13 kWh Phospate Iron and single-cylinder gasoline engine additive distance (range extender) with a capacity of 325 cc in charge of electric charge the battery while it is running.

As a result Megapixel produces only CO2 emissions by 22 g / km with fuel consumption of 100 km / liter on the electric motor drive mode only. While relying solely battery without the aid of a machine, capable of exploring the extent Megapixel 87 km.

Megapixel brings a unique feature on the propulsion system, which puts four independent electric motors at each wheel. Front wheel is able to form an angle that allows the vehicle has a turning radius of only 2.8 meters.

Although the technology is still being developed, its Tata Megapixel display it on a charging pad that shows the battery charging capabilities using a cordless charging system.

Another advanced technology systems touch screen human machine interface (HMI) in the middle chart of the instrument panel to regulate temperature, ventilation, driving modes and performance.

Tata Motors is rumored to have made a prototype using cornstarch

At present, Tata Motors is rumored to have made a prototype vehicle that has been using cornstarch and those are tested.

Apart from Tata Motors, the manufacturer Ford has also made ​​a breakthrough by using recycled materials. At that Ford plans to use material from recycled jeans as an absorption material and carpet material.

Who said cornstarch can only be used for cooking. Indian auto giant Tata Motors has developed an innovation by making the body of the vehicle using material derived from corn known as low-nutrient foods.

Launched Motorbeam, these technical achievements have been made by the R & D (Research & Development) Centre Tata Motors. Team based in Pune, Lucknow and Jamshedpur use cornstarch to enhance the safety aspects of the vehicle.

Based on the report R & D team, corn starch material that is non-flammable and non-toxic and when used on the part of the elastic body is more able to withstand the pressure when the collision occurred as compared to conventional sheet metal.

"At any given point in time, R & D work to develop some ideas for the future. And this is one of them. We have a structured process of taking an idea through multiple stages to determine their eligibility. Therefore, it is too early for us to be more specific as it is now, "explained the source of Tata Motors.

Mazda SKYACTIV-G engine technology's proved to produce very high compression ratio

Award given to an acknowledgment of the success of Mazda Mazda improvement in the efficiency of internal combustion. Mazda engine development is expected to remain a major source of energy in future cars.

MAZDA Motor Corporation managed to get the highest award at the event in New Japan Society for Promotion of Machine Industry (JSPMI) Award of the 9th to the development of the Mazda SKYACTIV-G engine technology proved capable of producing very high compression ratio.


Award from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Japan is attributed to the research, development, and commercialization undertaken a variety of organizations, such as companies, universities, and research institutions for development and growth of machine industry in Japan.

SKYACTIV-G engine that carried the Mazda were able to achieve the highest compression ratio in the world for gasoline-based engines are mass produced, which is 14,0:1. Ratio resulted in fuel savings and increase the engine power by 15 percent compared to the machines that exist today.

SKYACTIV-G engine already used on the newer models that came out in 2011 and was able to produce good fuel economy and responsive performance. To achieve high compression ratio gasoline engine is very difficult because it generally tends to make the engine knocking (ngelitik).

Mazda had recently found that the oxidation reaction occurs at low temperature before the engine is running, when the compression ratio is at a high point. The reaction then results in a reduction knocking and more power.

By utilizing this reaction, Mazda has developed an engine SKYACTIV-G. This machine also brings some new combustion technologies, such as piston cavity is designed to support the level of the ideal combustion and multi-hole injector that allows the fuel-injection appropriately.

VW, General Motor, and Toyota's Omitted from the list in China

Shanghai, - "Do not expect a warm welcome abroad with close access to the outside of the industry," commented Dirk Moens, Secretary General of the European Union Chamber of Commerce, as reported by AutoChina (28/02/2012). Two major brands are included in the membership of the European Union Chamber of Commerce is Volkswagen AG and Daimler.

For manufacturers VW, GM, and Toyota who crossed from the list, according to China International Capital Corporation, an investment institution, an estimated 80 billion yuan, could be achieved. Commercial vehicle market enjoyed by local brands. This would lead to discrimination, a reflection of unfair trade practices.

Moens continued, the European Chamber of Commerce will go hand in hand with its members to approach the Chinese government in order to be considered again. Write-off rules of the foreign brands came out two months after the Government under the control of Prime Minister Wen Jiabao to apply the rules of the reduction in foreign direct investment. This policy of "turn off" special treatment for foreign investors to build factories in China.

The Chinese government declared open for public consultation through the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology until March 9, 2012. Previously, foreign brands dominate state spending for a car service to 80 percent in China. Last year, Audi into a brand that enjoys the greatest share of up to one third of the purchase of official cars.

Indifferent

Although these regulations have an impact on the potential loss of market, foreign brands in China tend to be indifferent. Dayna Hart, a spokesman for GM in Shanghai do not want to answer the phone when contacted by reporters. Also, representatives of Daimler AG and Guangzhou Automobile Group Company also did not immediately respond.

On the other hand, Great Wall Motor Company's biggest SUV producer in China today is building an assembly plant in Bulgaria with investment of 120 million U.S. dollars (Rp1, 089 trillion). In addition, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Company managed to put myself down as China are buying brand Volvo from Ford's previous owner worth 1.8 billion U.S. dollars, in August 2010 and recorded as the largest acquisition in China.

Moens asserts, if the Chinese government did not consider the fair market competition, there will be no Great Wall and Geely investment is the second in Europe.

Omitted of foreign car brands from the list of state spending this year by the Government of China had a strong reaction. European Union Chamber of Commerce in China said that the policy could backfire for Chinese cars in the international market.
