There are two types of gasoline-electric hybrid cars: the parallel hybrid and the series hybrid. In the parallel hybrid car a gasoline engine and an electric engine works together to move the car forward while in the series hybrid car the either the gasoline engine provides the direct power or the electric motor powers the vehicles or charges batteries that will power the vehicle There are other special features in the hybrid engines that help to increase the overall efficiency of the vehicle. These are written as follows:  VOLT HYBRID CAR GASOLINE ELECTRIC HYBRID CARS Smaller and more effective engine. Regenerative breaks: the electric motor that drives the cars can also slow it down. In this slow mode, the electric motor acts as a generator and charges the battery while the car is slowing down. Periodic engine shutoff: when the car stops in traffic, the engines are automatically shut down for a temporary period of time. When the gears are...

Toyota May Miss 2011 China Goal on Lack of Parts From Japan

Toyota Motor Corp. (7203), the automaker most affected by Japan’s record earthquake last month, may not be able to meet its China sales target of over 900,000 vehicles this year due to the impact of the disaster. Toyota, the world’s biggest automaker, may have problems with parts stemming from the March 11 earthquake, and industrywide supply may fall short of demand in China, Masayoshi Hori, executive coordinator for the automaker’s China unit, said at the Shanghai auto show today. The carmaker’s China operation is monitoring the component situation, he said. The company based in Aichi, Japan, lost production of 260,000 units in Japan from March 14 to April 8. It has resumed operations at all of its domestic plants, with output at 50 percent of normal levels. Manufacturing has been reduced at overseas plants, including those in North America, Europe and Australia. “Toyota is the most vulnerable, as it is more exposed to suppliers in Japan,” said Ashvin Chotai, managing direct...

Toyota fires up quake-hit Japanese car factories

Toyota was producing cars at all of its Japanese factories yesterday for the first time since the devastating earthquake and tsunami rocked the country last month. But the plants will run at only half-capacity for the foreseeable future because of a shortage of parts produced by other quake-hit Japanese suppliers, the world's biggest car maker said. At Toyota's Miyagi factory, which is in one of the worst-affected regions of Japan, staff held a minute's silence before starting work. Car plants across the world have faced major parts shortages in the aftermath of the disaster, which caused widespread devastation and restrictions to power supplies. Toyota is stopping production at its UK factories at Burnaston and Deeside for two weeks. The other two big Japanese car-makers are also slowing output in Britain, with Honda running at half-rate in Swindon for two weeks and Nissan scheduling three days of downtime at its Sunderland factory. Output has also been affected across th...

GM Defying China Slowdown May Reclaim Sales Lead from Toyota

General Motors Co. (GM) and Volkswagen AG (VOW) expect to boost vehicle sales in China faster than the nation’s economic growth rate, defying government policies to curb sales and threatening Toyota Motor Corp. (7203)’s standing as the world’s largest carmaker. GM, the largest U.S. car company, plans to double sales in China to 5 million vehicles by 2015, the Detroit-based company said at this week’s Shanghai auto show. Germany’s Volkswagen, the biggest maker of passenger cars in China, said it may outpace industrywide sales growth of as much as 12 percent. Carmakers are boosting sales and production plans even after the government ended industry subsidies and as cities including Shanghai and Beijing restrict new car licenses to fight pollution and ease traffic. GM’s sales target may enable it to retake the global sales title it lost to Toyota in 2008. “You get used to not worrying about variations around the trend line,” Kevin Wale, GM’s China president said yesterday. ...

Automobile Emissions:The Combustion Process

The Combustion Process Gasoline and diesel fuels are mixtures of hydrocarbons, compounds which contain hydrogen and carbon atoms. In a “perfect” engine, oxygen in the air would convert all the hydrogen in the fuel to water and all the carbon in the fuel to carbon dioxide. Nitrogen in the air would remain unaffected. In reality, the combustion process cannot be “perfect,” and automotive engines emit several types of pollutants. “Perfect” Combustion FUEL (hydrocarbons) + AIR (oxygen and nitrogen) CARBON DIOXIDE + water + unaffected nitrogen Typical Engine Combustion FUEL + AIR UNBURNED HYDROCARBONS + NITROGEN OXIDES + CARBON MONOXIDE + CARBON DIOXIDE + water

Automobile Emissions:Sources of Auto Emissions

Sources of Auto Emissions The power to move a car comes from burning fuel in an engine. Pollution from cars comes from by-products of this combustion process (exhaust) and from evaporation of the fuel itself. • Exhaust Emissions • Refueling Losses • Evaporative Emissions

Automobile Emissions:Cars and Pollution

 Automobile Emissions: Cars and Pollution Emissions from an individual car are generally low, relative to the smokestack image many people associate with air pollution. But in numerous cities across the country, the personal automobile is the single greatest polluter, as emissions from millions of vehicles on the road add up. Driving a private car is probably a typical citizen’s most “polluting” daily activity.

Clean Air :- What More Can Be Done?

What More Can Be Done? The 1990 Clean Air Act requires EPA to specifically regulate air toxics from motor vehicles in the form of standards for fuels, or vehicles, or both. Additional hydrocarbon and particulate matter controls such as tightening tailpipe standards even further will reduce air toxics emissions somewhat. California for example, sets tighter hydrocarbon limits for vehicles sold in that state than the federal requirements for vehicles sold elsewhere. Other states can choose to adopt the California standards, which provide some air toxics benefits. Expansion of existing regulatory programs (such as more widespread use of reformulated gasoline or wider requirements for emission inspections) could also help reduce air toxics. Specific vehicle emission standards for one or more toxic compounds are also an option. Changes in gasoline and diesel fuel composition (such as reducing sulfur, benzene or other aromatic chemical compounds) can also reduce air toxics emis...

fuel and emission control system changes include:•More stringent standards and test procedures

• More stringent standards and test procedures To date, there are no specific standards for air toxics emissions from motor vehicles. However, the 1990 Clean Air Act does set specific emission standards for hydrocarbons and for diesel particulate matter. Air toxics are present in both of these pollutant categories. As vehicle manufacturers develop technologies to comply with the hydrocarbon and/or particulate standards (e.g., more efficient catalytic converters), air toxics are reduced as well. Requirements under the Act for testing carbon monoxide emissions at cold temperatures will also have an indirect but important effect in reducing air toxics emissions in the critical first moments of vehicle operation.

fuel and emission control system changes include:• Limits on diesel sulfur

• Limits on diesel sulfur Regulations limiting the amount of sulfur in diesel fuel took effect in 1993. Today’s lower-sulfur diesel fuels are important in reducing emissions of particulate matter and other air toxics from diesel-fueled buses and trucks.

fuel and emission control system changes include:• Reformulated gasoline

• Reformulated gasoline The 1990 Clean Air Act requires reformulated gasoline to be introduced in the nation’s most polluted cities beginning in 1995. From 1995-1999, these gasolines must provide a minimum 15% reduction in air toxics emissions over typical 1990 gasolines. This increases to a 20% minimum reduction beginning in the year 2000. The air toxics reductions will be achieved mainly by reducing gasoline volatility and by reducing the benzene content of the gasoline.

fuel and emission control system changes include:Limits on gasoline volatility

• Limits on gasoline volatility Volatility is a measure of how easily a liquid evaporates. As described earlier, some toxics such as benzene are present in gasoline and get into the air when gasoline evaporates. Limits on gasoline volatility have been imposed over the last several years to control evaporative emissions of both hydrocarbon and toxic compounds (most air toxics are hydrocarbons so programs designed to reduce hydrocarbon emissions also reduce air toxics).

Reducing Air Toxics from Motor Vehicles

Reducing Air Toxics from Motor Vehicles The emissions that come out of a vehicle depend greatly on the fuel that goes into it. Consequently, programs to control air toxics pollution have centered around changing fuel composition as well as around improving vehicle technology or performance. One of the first, and most successful programs has been the removal of lead from gasoline. The lead phaseout began in the mid-1970s. It will be complete January 1, 1996 when lead is banned from gasoline. The removal of lead from gasoline has essentially eliminated mobile source emissions of this highly toxic substance.

How are Air Toxics from Motor Vehicles Formed?

How are Air Toxics from Motor Vehicles Formed? Some toxic compounds are present in gasoline and are emitted to the air when gasoline evaporates or passes through the engine as unburned fuel. Benzene, for example, is a component of gasoline. Cars emit small quantities of benzene in unburned fuel, or as vapor when gasoline evaporates. A significant amount of automotive benzene comes from the incomplete combustion of compounds in gasoline such as toluene and xylene that are chemically very similar to benzene. Like benzene itself, these compounds occur naturally in petroleum and become more concentrated when petroleum is refined to produce high octane gasoline. Formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, diesel particulate matter, and 1,3-butadiene are not present in fuel but are by-products of incomplete combustion. Formaldehyde and acetaldehyde are also formed through a secondary process when other mobile source pollutants undergo chemical reactions in the atmosphere.

Air Toxics from Vehicles and Their Fuels

Motor vehicles emit several pollutants that EPA classifies as known or probable human carcinogens. Benzene, for instance, is a known human carcinogen, while formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, 1,3-butadiene and diesel particulate matter are probable human carcinogens. Studies are underway to determine whether other toxic substances are present in mobile source emissions. For example, EPA and industry are investigating whether oxygen-containing fuel additives such as methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) cause any adverse health effects. EPA is also working with the vehicle and fuel industries to test motor vehicle emissions for the presence of dioxin. EPA estimates that mobile (car, truck, and bus) sources of air toxics account for as much as half of all cancers attributed to outdoor sources of air toxics. This estimate is not based on actual cancer cases, but on models that predict the maximum number of cancers that could be expected from current levels of exposure to mobile source ...

Air Toxics from Motor Vehicles :- What are Air Toxics?

What are Air Toxics? Air toxics are air pollutants that cause adverse health effects. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has focused most of its air toxics efforts to date on carcinogens, which are compounds that cause cancer. Non-cancer health effects such as reproductive and neurological problems are also of concern to EPA. How dangerous are air toxics? It’s hard to say. Some air toxics have been proven to cause cancer in humans. However, most air toxics are identified through laboratory experiments in which animals receive very high doses of the compound being studied. People almost never breathe such high doses. But lower exposures may still pose risks. One fact is clear: vehicles are such an integral part of our society that virtually everyone is exposed to their emissions.

Ferrari 612 Scaglietti (470g/km; 13.8mpg)

There’s one thing to know about Ferraris: they are brilliant cars but they’re really not practical for a trip to the grocery store and Ikea. You can’t fit a weekly shop in them and their fuel economy in town is less than pleasing.

Bentley Azure/Arnage/Brooklands (465g/km; 14.5mpg)

Bentley Azure/Arnage/Brooklands (465g/km; 14.5mpg) If you want proper, old-fashioned, coach built-emissions, those emissions don’t come any more old-fashioned and coach-built than the traditional Bentleys. Based on designs pre-dating the Volkswagen era, they represent a truly British way of using fuel in the least frugal manner possible.

Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano (415g/km; 15.8mpg)

Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano (415g/km; 15.8mpg) Our first prancing horse and - you’ve guessed it - not the last. But, come on, you don’t expect Ferraris to be competing with Toyota Priuses, do you?

Aston Martin DB9 (421g/km; 15.8mpg)

Aston Martin DB9 (421g/km; 15.8mpg) The Gaydon-based carmaker is back on our list at number six. However, there is a way for Aston Martin owners to improve their fuel economy: from next year, according to recent reports, when you buy a new Aston you will get the option to buy an Aston Martin-branded supermini, the Cygnet (based on the frugal Toyota iQ) for those urban journeys.

Lamborghini Gallardo (400g/km; 16.6mpg)

Lamborghini Gallardo (400g/km; 16.6mpg) It’s the first Lamborghini in our list, but you’ll probably guess that Lambo’s baby model won’t be the last. Having said that, it’s a lot less thirsty than the last ‘baby’ Lamborghini, the Jalpa.

The Ford Fiesta hatch is everything a premium hatch should be

The Ford Fiesta hatch is everything a premium hatch should be. Brilliantly designed, immensely fuel efficient and a dream to drive. Expected to be priced in the same range as other high-end hatches, it will be a difficult car to compete with.

VOLT ( Chevrolet Volt )

Previously seen in the North American Auto Show in 2007 then Shanghai Auto Show and later, in Delhi Auto Expo 2010, the Chevy Volt from General Motors stable is a plug in series hybrid electric vehicle which would have a global launch in 2010.

Aston Martin DBS (388g/km; 17.2mpg)

Aston Martin’s DBS got into the record books thanks to the death-defying stunt in the 2006 Bond movie ‘Casino Royale’ in which it rolled seven times (though, in reality, it was DB9 dressed up to look like a DBS). Here it’s in the record books for the wrong reasons.

AUTOMOTIVE INSUSTRY-DESIGN-DEVELOPES-MANUFACTURES-MARKETS

Automotive industry  designs, develops, manufactures, markets, and sells motor vehicles, and is one of the world's most important economic sectors by revenue. The term automotive industry usually does not include industries dedicated to automobiles after delivery to the customer, such as repair shops and motor fuel filling stations. The Automotive industry has had a large outcome in production over the past 20 years.
