China is very aggressive work on Green Cars

China ambitious to become producers as well as the electric car market in the world. The spirit is supported by car manufacturers, one of which Dongfeng Motor Corp., which has set aside 433 million U.S. dollars will digelontorkan for five years to develop environmentally friendly vehicles.

As an initial step, Dongfeng will produce hybrid units continued with electric vehicles, both passenger and commercial types. In addition, there will be development of its own battery technology for electric vehicles.

Currently, Dongfeng has a production base in Hubei Province, Wuhan. Known as the third largest domestic automobile manufacturer in China, the manufacturer also is working with Honda Motor Co. and PSA Peugeot-Citroen to assemble cars together.

Dongfeng Party hopes to sell 100,000 units and 50,000 units of hybrid car electric car by 2015. In the end, the company targeted sales mix of environmentally friendly vehicles can take up to 20 percent portion of the total.

Hybrid Cars protested in America

Good faith of the world automotive industry pressing air pollution by creating a hybrid car, has received criticism. It comes from the organization of the blind in America. They demand that car manufacturers and governments for more refined hybrid cars to reduce the danger for the blind.

Practically dangerous because tech hybrid car, according to the organization that is very dangerous because the engine did not sound. "Traditionally, the blind rely on hearing or sense of touch to know the neighborhood around where he was. Including a position to make crossing, "said Executive Director of the organization of the blind, Melanie Brunson.

Well, when the instinct is to set the right position for the crossing, said Melanie, the blind then listen to the voice engine to ensure the direction and distance of cars come with him. "From there they (the blind), then decided to cross with a slow or fast," added Melanie.

Without the help of a car, the risk of accidents experienced by a blind ready. "Now, imagine if you an experience like that (blind) and the street with a cane, it would take many years can walk smoothly," said Dr. Ron Millman, the PR of the organization of the blind man.

It is conceivable, a blind man in the crowd crossing traffic. "All the vehicles look a halt. Penyebrang suddenly heard a car braking hard and hybrid cars have been a few inches in front of you. What happened, obviously panic. Then there is shouting, the road continues, but penyebrang do not know where to go because the panic had made him forget about him, "said Dr. Karen Gourgey, one of the organization committee of the blind man.

Unexpectedly, these organizations struggle with the lawyers to protect the blind fruitful results. Last week, they held meetings with road safety agencies on a highway in the U.S. (U.S. Federal Highway Traffic Safety Administration). In essence, they ask for hybrid cars more refined technology. At least, there are signs that emerged from the vehicle.

Disseminate Toyota Hybrid to Campus

Concern PT Toyota Astra Motor (TAM) for education through a program T-TEP (Toyota Technical Education Program) continues intensively conducted. Recently, car manufacturers Toyota is participating in a seminar titled "Hybrid Cars Technology and Its Impact in Indonesia" organized by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering National University (Unas), Jakarta.

"The presence in the community hidrid car has several benefits. Description given by the speaker to provide benefits to students, academics and researchers to broaden knowledge in the world of education. We are grateful to Toyota for their participation. "Ilham said Pahlavi, the chairman of the seminar.

"Toyota's participation in this seminar as a form of concern to the world of education. This is because we want to grow together for a better life and happiness for all, "said Iwan Abdurahman.

Speakers at the seminar, Prof.Dr.Ir. Prawoto MSAE, Head BTMP-BPPT) and Iwan Abdurahman (Technical Training-TSD, PT TAM), which discusses the benefits and advantages of hybrid vehicles, primarily for environmental and technological advances.

Prawoto raised discussion regarding the general description of hybrid technology, the readiness of infrastructure and application of hybrid technology in motor vehicles. Also, also discussed the role of BPPT welcome the presence of hybrid technology in the homeland.

Medium Blue from TAM brings a detailed presentation of the theme is applied to the hybrid car Toyota Prius. Starting from how they work hybrid technology that uses a scheme of series / parallel, which has advantages compared to other hybrid cars.

Asian American Need for Hybrid Cars

About the development of automotive technology, especially leading to hybrid or electric car, it turns out America lags far behind countries of Asia. That's because, lithium-ion battery, which became one of the main components of environmentally friendly vehicles, which required automobile manufacturers in the country, Uncle Sam is very dependent on foreign products.

As reported by Dow Jones (9 / 3), high world oil prices reaching 100 dollars per barrel, forcing the principal American cars such as General Motors and Ford Motors could not not have to market a hybrid vehicle in 2012. The goal for fuel efficiency could be higher, given the technology of hybrid blend of gasoline and electric engines.

When to push environmentally friendly vehicles to market soon, GM, Ford, and other U.S. automakers are in a position less advantageous. "They are very dependent on battery or import technology from Japan, China and other Asian countries to supply lithium-ion batteries," said Menahem Anderman, president of Advanced Automotive Baterries research firm.

IHS in the CERA energy conference on Tuesday (8 / 3), Anderman asserted, if there is a race to make batteries for electric cars or hybrids, America ranks fourth behind China, Japan and South Korea. Americans classified as late in allocating funds for R & D component.

Moreover, GM in the next two years will produce 175,000 units of Chevy Volt (hybrid). "When the company began developing hybrid cars two years ago, they should look to Asia a lot of battery supply, add time and money for development," said Britta Gross, GM's Director of Global Enegi System. He adds, for Volt, the GM should go to South Korea to find material of lithium cells.

China became one provider of lithium-ion batteries in the world. The component manufacturers are enjoying the benefits, both in terms of financial and manpower.

Hybrid Cars Work of Artists France

Currently, the principals of the automotive world, whether in Asia, Europe and America more heavily-incessant drive to environmentally friendly technologies for the vehicle. Both the hybrid model (including plug-ins), electric, hydrogen fuel cells are more developed muapun aimed at reducing global warming.

However, the technology offered to make the current price of the car (hybrid) could triple the gasoline engine. No wonder, when marketing still need government assistance and the amount was far below the gasoline engine.

Well, artists and teachers from France Thierry Dumaine try to create a concept hybrid car from his imagination which he called Ventile the maximum weight is 350 kg. Principles and works almost the same system with hybrid technology, even this very simple.

So, when the hybrid car, charging the motor function of deceleration and braking when done. While in Ventile, four wheels are circular fins on the rim, but not attached to the wheel rotates in accordance with rim-like windmills.

Not only that. In the center there is a big fan who played by the wind that is channeled encouragement from the front. Battery that is charged will drive two electric motors to run the two rear wheels.

Only, Dumaine imagination is undoubtedly its worth when applied to the real world.
