The information is based on information from informants Honda in the UK , and he's definitely a reason to call will be announced in the next few weeks . Provisional estimates , this delay could be due to the world's major production base for the CBR250R and CBR300R in Thailand was disrupted due to the political situation .
Although different regions , disruption of Thailand a bit much effect on production activities in other countries , it could be due to supply of components are not maximized . Of course , this delay is quite unfortunate because in Europe , the enthusiasm to welcome the model is quite large .
CBR300R in Europe will replace the CBR250R , by increasing the capacity of the cylinder into a 286cc . Technically the same engine , only 300cc version has a longer piston stroke , the ECU is reset , and the use of heavier balancer to reduce vibration .
Honda claims the 300cc version is more efficient and able to travel longer distances with a full fuel . ABS will be standard devices increasingly tempting for consumers , as well as a mandatory device for motorcycles above 250cc in Europe .

New recharging for electric cars from Toyota
Aichi , - This is New recharging for electric cars made by Toyota in good production.
Toyota began testing the new technology , for vehicle recharging " plug -in " hybrid cordless ( wireless ) . This method is much simpler because it does not need to plug the cable to charge the battery , simply park the vehicle on a special mat that emits energy to be absorbed .
This charging system created for vehicle propulsion electric motor . Special mat can be placed in a parking slot to make the process easier to use battery charging , eliminating the use of cables as connectors .
So the mechanism using magnetic resonance created by the intensity of the magnetic field between the coils in the mattress and coil on the vehicle . Claimed to increase power transmission efficiency caused by the difference in height level between the coils .
This system was developed further for use in the future market . Measurements should be rehabilitated to produce products that idel for human life . Including reducing the impact of electromagnetic waves that can affect the performance of other household appliances .
So that the driver can put the mattress right on top of the coil vehicles , Toyota also integrate these tools with special parking system . The driver simply follow the instruction given . Tests conducted in Aichi prefecture prime , Japan .
Wireless Battery Charging System Toyota brings in Methods : Magnetic Resonance, using Frequency : 85kHz, havingLogin Voltage : AC 200V and Charger power : 2kW and it needRefueling time : 90 minutes.

Check tire pressure using the change of color
Montana, - Have you ever done before or not? Have you checked the tire pressure using the change of color ?
For safety , tire pressure should be checked frequently . In fact , it was largely ignored by the user of the car . That's why RightPSI , a company from Montana , United States created a tire pressure monitor with color indicator .
This tool replaces the standard vent cap function , can be used on all types of car tires . When the air pressure is reduced , the tool displays the color orange in his neck .
