EXPOSURE sun too long is a health threat as a cause of skin problems, skin cancer is one of satunnya. The car manufacturers began working with glass manufacturers to stem the harmful ultra violet rays.

Japanese glass manufacturer Asahi Glass Co (AGC) has completed a new product line of tempered glass front window with a product called UV Verre Premium Cool, which is touted as the first product that can hold approximately 99% of UV radiation as well as infra-red rays.

Ford Fusion Fusion hybrid sedan remains the most efficient

New York,  - According to Consumer Reports, Ford Fusion hybrid sedan remains the most efficient medium based on their test results, which is 1 mpg (0.4 kpl) on the Camry hybrid. Camry hybrid, fuel consumption average of 38 mpg (16.1 kpl). The test results of Consumer Reports magazine just dropped 2 mpg (0.85 kpl) from Toyota claims 40 mpg (17.00 kpl) or not too flashy.

"About 80 message from vehicle we test the EPA estimates. Fusion and C-Max include a great vehicle fuel consumption. Excluding cars voracious fuel consumption. The problem, claims fuel consumption is not really as advertised, "said Fiseher from EPA.

Consumer Reports tests together with the results of the evaluation of other media and consumer komplam contained on the U.S. government website: www.fueleconomy.gov. According to Jason H Harpor on 15 November, Fusion Hybrid fuel consumption are driven 36.9 (15.2 kpl) and blamed his feet were always stuck gas pedal.

"Some go to www.fueleconomy.gov dozen reports which said the results were much different than the EPA estimates. So, if you go out and buy a car with the hope of gaining 19.98 kpl can and then you do not get, certainly will not be satisfied. All it will affect sales, "said Fisher.

In cases like this, we hope, not just manufacturer claims fuel consumption. Because, based on observations KompasOtomotif, to measure consumption based on distances, manufacturers still use measuring devices in the car, the speedo and tripmeter in the car. In fact, the accuracy of the tool is still questionable.

Most fitting, using a flowmeter (to measure the fuel used machines) and the actual mileage (could be in the circuit) was prepared by the method or simulated traffic conditions in the city! Yes, stopped at a traffic light a few minutes or seconds, turn, and so on!

claims fuel consumption (fuel) by the manufacturer through advertising or media test results often lead to controversy. It was not only in Indonesia but also abroad.

Case warmest is Hyundai-Kia claims fuel consumption does not correspond with reality. The difference compared to the results of a test ad claims the media or some very large institutions. As a result, both the South Korean manufacturer apologized and offered to 900,000 customers to obtain a prepaid fuel card for two years as a claim for compensation from the difference in fuel consumption.

In the United States, manufacturers are now required to include fuel consumption and emissions is through a sticker on every car it sells.

Well, last week, turn the fuss two Ford products, the C-Max and Fusion Hybrid. Ford Fusion hybrid ad claims fuel consumption of 47 mpg (19.98 kpl). Apparently, after testing by Consumer Reports magazine, for the combination-in-town and highway is 37 mpg (15.73 kpl). Huge difference and lifted by the news Blooomberg case.

According to Bloomberg asking that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) United States (U.S.), they will test reports and data from the Consumer Reports magazine.

"This is the biggest difference we've encountered," said Jake Fisher, head of auto testing magazine Consumer Reports, told Bloomberg. "We hope the EPA and Ford could see it. It is important to ascertain the fuel consumption claims are true according to the conditions, "he added.

Redesigned Ford Fusion to challenge the Toyota Camry as the best-selling car in the United States in 10 years. To that end, Ford Fusion embed new technologies in 2013, which went on sale last October, which is a hybrid.

In the ad, the fuel consumption is claimed to fuel 47 mpg (19.98 kpl) better than the Camry hybrid 40 mpg (17.01 kpl). As a result, Fusion 2013 dubbed the "Green Car of the Year by Green Car Journal" last month.

Test procedure
C-Max Hybrid and Fusion are six of the new hybrid and electric cars Ford launched this year and next year in an effort to undermine the dominance of Toyota. CEO Alan Mulally to fuel consumption as a value added service to increase sales.

"At first consumer C-Max and Fusion hybrids praised their vehicles and report fuel consumption, including the consumption of over 19 mpg (19.97 kpl)," said Wes Sherwood, a Ford spokesman, via e-mail. He added that the manner and driving conditions, and other factors to determine the difference in fuel consumption.

Consumer Reports did a test with buying the Ford Fusion hybrid and C-Max at the local dealer and run 2,000 miles (3218.7 km) prior to being tested. The magazine also admitted using a measuring instrument precision fuel consumption and fuel supply systems installed car.

To test for consumption in the city, the car is started with the standard tests performed on the track Connecticut at a predetermined speed, some times stop with the time allowed. While on the highway, a car driven at a speed of 65 mph (106 kpl) in a straight line.

"Eco-coaching"
Meanwhile, Sherwood says, appliances and eco-coaching technology in hybrid Ford models will guide the driver to save fuel.

"We make sure the results were very mixed. About different results, we work with our customers, Consumer Reports, to explain this, "said Sherwood.

Copy not stop copying of the name. Bottles and feel of the color is plagiarizing other energy drinks, cooperation between producers China and Brazil, with Recca brand.
