Tata AirCar's developed by Tata Motors

Earlier, Tata Motors has showcased the air car concept, called the Tata AirCar. Now, MiniCAT present as a production model and will be ready for sale in India after the official launch.

Indian manufacturer Tata Motors have a surprise for the development of cars powered by compressed air.

Tata Motors said the car with the name of MiniCAT. Rumors, the air car will be launched in August of 2012. Tata Motors claims, MiniCat will be one of zero-emission vehicles being able to operate only with compressed air.

MiniCAT has been developed in conjunction with the former IndyCar engine expert Guy Negre with the company Motor Development International. Tata Motors officials said that the fuel in the car is only a small electric power to drive the compressor engine.

MiniCAT uses air pressure moving the piston motor has zero emissions and are disposed in the exhaust. Start the car with compressed air is not a new concept.

Many car manufacturers have tried this technology, but no one has succeeded because it was considered inefficient. Most, mobol prototype production model was launched but did not appear.

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.

four special concept version of the Swiss Up!, Winter Up!, X Up! and Cargo Up!

Subaru principals seriously develop diesel engines

London, - Since the concentration facelift this time over the cardiac pacemaker the sector touched only changes to the exterior mirrors and new body colors, Ice Silver Metallic. While receiving a touch of cabin space is more like a rear parking camera, navigation system NavPlus, and DVD players.

Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI), Subaru principals seriously develop diesel engines, after being introduced through a boxer that is placed on the Legacy Tourer in 2009. Still with the 2012 facelift Legacy Tourer diesel technology innovations that have experienced FHI will be introduced at the Geneva Motor Show next week.

2.0-liter engine capacity that were piled on the Tourer 2012 has been increased from 147PS to 150PS energy, while still 350nm of torque. This increase is thanks to a few touches, such as labor efficient turbo, exhaust, camshaft, piston made ​​from lightweight, the new catalytic converter and Diesel Particulate Filter (PDF). 0-100 kph acceleration to within 9.6 seconds with a maximum speed of 193 kph. Fuel use can be reduced from 16.4 to 17.6 MPA MPA. CO2 emissions fell 7.5 percent to 149 g / km.

With increasing power, control and stability when maneuvering the car around the corner come enhanced. Performed at the touch of a suspension system such as the stabilizer material booshing and pillow-ball in the back and arm wishbone rear suspension is shorter. Claimed these changes impact vibration reduction so as to provide more comfort.
