Volkswagen electric Bik.e crease up, can be charged via AC, DC currents

Electric bikes are no longer amazing we’ll just see at the gym. Volkswagen has unveiled their newest electric vehicle: the Bik.e, which actually lacks pedals and can be charged straight from a typical AC outlet.

According to AutoBlog Green, Volkswagen turned out their first form of electric transport at Auto China 2010. VW is set to reveal its first electric automobile in 2013. I guess it’s superior to start somewhere small first, such as with a two-wheeler.

But this eco-friendly black and white creation is not too scruffy. Not only does the Bik.e fold up into a flat disc to be effortlessly stored in the spare tire compartment of your trunk, it can also charge up via an AC outlet or DC current from a car.

As for speed, don’t expect to go as fast or as far as a car or even a usual scooter on the Bik.e. The distinctive distance range on a full charge is 12.5 miles, and the peak speed is 12.5 miles per hour. Not exactly something to use when in hurry, but absolutely a decent option for traveling to work, school or just around the neighborhood.

Given that this has only been spotted at a car show, there aren’t any official details on pricing or release plans around the world now yet, but optimistically this goes commercial soon. Although, then I’m forfeiting the amount of exercise I get from a usual, old bicycle.

Europeans are lining up from Bulgaria to Brussels for this small road runner; Ford sold 69,000 Fiestas in Europe in March; Americans will get their turn this summer.

But then exposure hit Americans: Gas costs money.

Now, high-mileage subcompacts have become trendy. Other than the sporty Honda Fit, most of the little cars have offered little more than reasonable price tag.

The Fiesta ends the subcompact trade-off many buyers converse themselves through at dealerships. Yeah, it's a slight noisy on the highway, the door sounds like I'm closing a breadbox, and my Rollerblades produce more torque, but my car payment is only 99 (euros, dollars, dinars, baht) a month.

An AW Flash Drive-Ford Fiesta 2011

The Fiesta is Ford's much-hyped world-car entry into the small B-class segment in the United States, a slice of the market now populated by the Honda Fit, the Toyota Yaris and the Nissan Versa. B-class means it's lesser than the Ford Focus.

But the class itself has developed by more than 30 percent in the last decade independent of the price of gasoline, Ford says, and the Fiesta represents a chance for Ford to party down at the bottom of the size chart.

The Fiesta also portrays something of a gamble that downsizers looking to save either money, gasoline or the planet--or have their college-age kids do so--will embrace Fiesta's 30 mpg city/40 mpg highway mileage and $13,995 starting sticker, prices top out close to $20,000.

Fitur Mazda2 Memberikan Gengsi Tersendiri

From the rider said mazda2 ...
One thing that makes me feel proud when driving on the island Mazda2 is when the eyes of foreign tourists heading in my direction. Some even smiled and raised his thumb. I do not know what makes them stunned, then I understand even less. While finding out, I could only smile back with a grinning face.

In the end, when I parked the Mazda2 in front of a craft store, so I understand the meaning of the stranger's smile.
"Wow, what a car is Green ... Very funny ...,?" Said a young woman with blond hair.
I then replied, "That's Mazda."

"I've seen it. Obviously this is a new car? It's beautiful," she said again.
From the brief conversation that I began to understand the purpose of greeting the President Director of PT. Mazda Motor Indonesia (MMI) Yoshiya Horigome. He said, "Most entries we received a very positive tone. They (the public) to justify our confidence in the car (Mazda2) which bears the title of the Word was Car of the Year."

Two sentences on top of what I need to underline here is "very positive" and "Word Car of the Year".
The second sentence is very sacred. Therefore, blessed are cars that can achieve that sentence. And, whether the two predicate Mazda2 deserves, I'll answer it here.

Mazda2 is quite unique. This car appears adorable. Not only from a small and simple design, but also rautnya sweet. Seeing the wide front grille, we will remember an expression of smiling children.

With a performance like it was only natural that Mazda claims the product as a fun car. Not only for penggendaraan in the city, but also outside the city. Not only for advanced riders, but also the beginner rider. Not just for women but also for young men.

Along with aggressive performance, like other recent product Mazda, Mazda2 was also built with good quality. The lines of inter-agency panel that was so right. Pengecetan also worked with the smooth. Even the materials used for thick and clear light.

For all outcomes, no wonder if Mazda is grateful to Ford so far has helped create a strong car.

Inland
Such as that offered by competitors in its class, nobody was standing on the cabin layout Mazda2. Instrument panel, speedometer display, the chimney and the AC button, until the gear lever position does not give a new look. Only practical design that looks unique just because of the dominance of spherical articulation.

Use of aluminum-accented also still prefer to emphasize the sporty interior elements. Mazda2 melangkapi panel aluminum accents on door trim, the transmission lever, and bar the rim.

Performance and Control
Before explaining the performance, first I will declare my steering system provided Mazda2.

Technology Electric Power Assist Steering system (EPAS) was injected at a super mini Mazda can be proud. Section, the effectiveness of this technology has been most effective when I move the steering wheel in the parking lot. Lightweight and measurable is a fact that can be felt. Even he can also show its effectiveness when the car drove at high speed.

In short, the Mazda2 as the steering system that is able to lock the intelligent control of the shaft at right angles. Turn to low speed and aggressive maneuvers at high speed become so easy with the Mazda2.

And for families or lovers of tv shows, definitely they will choose the audio stream ICE. Because besides can watch tv shows and movies from the dvd, they can also listen to the sound quality.

However, the actual ICE system is a sophisticated application of technology to the standard audio system, which consists of three main parts. As explained by Iyank, installer Mirza Auto Care home modifications, the standard audio system in a series of ICE is a head unit, amplifier, speakers and some additional number of other audio devices, such as a subwoofer and capacitor banks. In the ICE system installation, a number of high-tech device used, to increase energy and strength, so the entertainment facility that can be transformed. Here are three main parts the raw audio system with a number of terms that need to be known.

Head Unit

Amplifier
Is a device that serves as a bridge between the head unit with other functions, especially the speakers. Charge amplifier combines several tasks that already exist. In this section, can be added crossover. Once again, the addition of devices that create an audio system can produce something more. Sound signal, the frequency of the wave, distribution channels, to spread the sound made by these tools. Without reinforcement, it is impossible to obtain an adequate audio system. sound source comes from the head unit for example, can get out on the speakers. However, without the amplifier, the result will be the standard sound. With the role of ICE amplifier circuit can also be transformed.

Speaker
Speaker in accordance with the intended meaning of speakers. However, the audio system, there are several types of speakers are threaded to produce quality sound. As if representing the sound produced, the speakers also made up of midrange speakers and tweeters.


Sub woofer
Many people are not satisfied with the system provided pembuai ear automotive factory. Therefore, do not do a little modification to the vehicle audio system and video to get maximum satisfaction. One of the many changed is the subwoofer. It aims to make music that is produced is able to produce sound quality you want. However, the accuracy required in choosing a subwoofer that will be used. Because, each subwoofer its own characteristic. Therefore, it would be better if the test is performed before the subwoofer to see the capabilities and weaknesses, so a subwoofer can be known characters. And choose a subwoofer that is suitable for the ICE system is a measure between 10-12 inches, depending on the quality of each.

Power
Which support the audio, power amplifier installed to lift the desired sound quality. According Iyank, power amplifiers are usually for ES, as a substitute for using the power between 2500 - 5000 watts depending on the quality of the power itself. Likewise with monoblock power, to stabilize and enhance sound quality subwoofer. And for the ICE, which used a subwoofer the size of 10-12 inches.

Capacitor banks
Serve to stabilize the electrical system in the car so as not to drop. According Iyank, usually for audio ICE, the use of capacitor banks, with a capacity of 1 to 2.5 farads. But the size of the capacitor bank depends on the quality of each.

Ice Installation Tips

To make room spelled out a car into the family room that is easy-easy to difficult. In addition, space is limited and the existence of car seats that could impede the flow of sound that comes out of speakers. Here are some tips for the installation of the ICE.

Places To Restructuring Audio Devices
Usually to put some audio in the car cabin, built subwoofer box for the first, which is adjusted to the character and color of the car cabin interior. And materials for the manufacture of boxes of each set, had to use wood MDF (Medium Density fiberboard) measuring 15 mm. "It's a lot of MDF wood sizes are used, but that is often used for audio ICE was 15 mm," said Iyank.
Designing a good cable connection
After creating the box, the next step is to connect the cable, between the cable with the other components have to be careful. Because, one in continue short circuit and cause fires. Therefore should be regulated as neat as possible to avoid dangerous things. Then do the installation of audio devices. Subwoofer is in accordance with the desired character is planted in a box that had been made before. Then the speakers, the forces supporting and subwoofer and an appropriate capacitor bank is also installed in the cabin of the car.

Select a Qualified Installer Cheap But Good
Alert and cautious in selecting the installer. Select the installer which has a good quality but offers a low cost. One is Mirza's Auto Care, located on Jl. Siliwangi Raya No. 10, Rawa Panjang, Bekasi, Tel: (021) 8242 5051 -52.

In 2009, Ford had the major share of U.S. commercial (32 percent) and government (44 percent) fleet sales. And according to Fields, those at the Blue Oval fully propose to maintain our leadership.

To do that, Ford will present fuel-efficient powertrains and sustainable technologies--including electric, hybrid, natural gas, propane, E85, biodiesel and EcoBoost--in its 2011 fleet lineup. That means fleet vehicles, from bakery trucks to cop cars, are receiving some of the automaker's preeminent technology.

Spesification New Subaru Legacy 2010

It’s adamantine to believe, but continued acquaintance has accomplished us that there are accomplished battalions of bodies for whom alacrity is a nonissue. Discerning, car-savvy people. With a agog eye for fit, finish, and materials. An automated designer’s acknowledgment of ergonomics. A cautiously acquainted faculty of ride quality. But 0-to-60 mph? Hey, what’s your hurry?

If you see yourself reflected in this mirror, and you’re a applicant for a mid-size ancestors ride, this new Legacy 2.5i should be on your list. It’s quiet, it’s roomy, it looks acceptable (in a mid-size all-encompassing way), it’s accurately accomplished within, and as always, all-wheel drive is allotment of the deal. Alacrity is not.

In the past, buyers Legacy have to sacrifice fuel economy and rear seat space when choosing it over another medium sedan. The redesigned 2010 model addresses both concerns, making it a real competitor in its class. Unfortunately, high fuel economy is only equipped with a CVT.
Standard AWD, front, rear area and accommodations, CVT combined rating of 26 mpg, 265-horsepower GT package.

CVT CVT still, but this one is one of the best examples we have encouraged. Although a good amount of body roll, turbocharged GT has a sporty attitude.

Outside, the latest Legacy looks familiar. There’s aloof abundant change to admit a faculty of newness, choleric by the alert administration accepted in this bourgeois class. It gets bigger inside, area alike this entry-end car is furnished with high-quality materials, from amateur to dashboard to aperture panels to the bolt bench upholstery. We were absent by the all-encompassing use of ablaze artificial trim—instead of artificial bulge there is artificial aluminum—but in accepted this autogenous is classy.

Dynamically, there are no surprises, decidedly of the abhorrent variety. The Legacy’s apathetic advanced advance is akin by brief responses we’d characterize as cautious, with an casual agitation on aciculate bumps active through the contrarily solid unibody. Like best mid-size, mid-price sedans, accelerating understeer is the defining activating trait, the accommodation for ride affection aces of a Buick.

Ferrari to commence six new models in next three years

Ferrari is planning to commence three new cars by 2013, including a new Enzo and a hardcore version of the 458.

The plans are part of a restructuring prompted by Fiat, and will see a new, range-topping version of the 612 Scaglietti join the Ferrari line-up next year.

According to Autocar, an open-top 458 will also arrive in 2011, pursued by the god-like Enzo's replacement in 2012. A 599 GTB has also been established for 2012, with a California facelift and a 458 Scuderia coming later in 2013.

Other than confirming their schedule Ferrari did not release any more details of the new models. It is not even certain that the hardcore 458 will take the Scuderia name used by its predecessor, while this does seems likely.

But, despite this flood of new models from the Italian manufacturer the announcement confirmed that Ferrari will not make more than four production cars at the same time - the 458 and 599 supercars, and the 612 and California cruisers. The Enzo is, quite correctly, considered to be a special case and is not included in these plans and will be made as a 'halo' model.

Wisconsin supplier assists make high-tech Tata Nano plant

A Wisconsin auto supplier is making technology that assists automakers such as Tata in India stay flexible -- and cheap.

The factory in Gujarat, India, which will build the $2,500 Tata Nano uses technology, developed by Rockwell Automation, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports. The plant can regulate on short notice, changing to meet consumer tastes or demand levels.

The legend of these emerging countries is that they do it by cheap labor and abysmal working standards and terrible plants and abusive environments, says Keith Nosbusch, chief executive of Rockwell. These are high-tech facilities, as high-tech as they are in the U.S. and the peoples very happy to be working in them.

Despite the high-tech factory that may be manufacturing the Nano, the car is facing troubles.

Two Nanos have reportedly caught fire, one while the new owner was in the car and other on its way to be delivered. Indian media reports there may be a wiring trouble near the steering wheel.

Hopefully, with all the high-tech software Rockwell has developed for Tata, it won't take long for the automaker to pinpoint the trouble. The car is now being manufactured in a plant in Pantnagar, India, while the Gujarat plant is completed.
