the new American-made Passat more affordable to create than its presented in forerunner, so it cannot perhaps be as amazing (curiously, he never said he’d actually motivated the new one), and 2) the cost-cutting was done usually so a unlikely Vw could produce a existing promotion more Passats in The united states of the united states.

An car producer that wants to create money! Now there happens to be novel concept.

The excessive actuality of the car company is that it is not actually about creating vehicles. It’s about making cash. Always has been. Always will be. Think of the car organizations that designed some of the biggest vehicles of the last century: Bmw, Lamborghini, Bentley, Alfa Romeo, Bmw, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Lotus, Rolls-Royce, Jaguar. Now think how many of them have teetered near bankruptcy over the decades. As Eileen Duesenberg, Ettore Bugatti, and even Ron Dennis — with the unique McLaren F1 — found, you can create the best car on the world and still reduce your apparel.

Frankfurt since 2009 and the presentation of four Renault electric concept cars that have foreshadowed future production models, the time spent and reaches the critical time for the manufacturer of the beginning of the marketing of these models to the public. Remember that the ZE range will consist of four distinctly different models: Twizy, ZOE electric model since its inception and Kangoo ZE, Fluence ZE, they are alternatives to heat their version. We will concern ourselves for the moment that these two models that come out in October and November 2011 because the Twizy and ZOE appear on the other hand, in December 2011 and May 2012. Before going into details, explanations of small Renault ZE …

Renault has big goals and assume: a reduction of 10% of its global carbon footprint by 2013 and 20% between 2013 and 2016, all thanks to new technologies on combustion engines and of course with what we discussing today, the power. The Renault-Nissan has a role to play since it allows the French to walk hand in hand with the Asian brand most sold in Europe. Their common goal: 1.5 million “green” cars by 2016. For this, a $ 4 billion has been made to the program ZE, with a staff of 2000 people.

Renault also gives great importance to customer satisfaction with the desire to be as competent in the field of electricity. For this, the brand has focused on sales and technical training of its network on the subject. Two labels appear: Renault ZE centers focused on testing and Renault ZE Experts more specialized in the repair of electric vehicles.

This project is ambitious and needs to be credible for the brand image. Before arriving there, the ZE have drove well, tested in nine very different (Singapore, Israel, France, Australia etc.).. Multiple experiments on about 400 “clients guinea pigs” were conducted and projects were involved in sports development. One of the proudest of is that Renault have won the race “inter-city” Challenge Bibendum 2011, spans more than 300 km where it was also opposed to hydrogen vehicles and fuel cell (Above the arrival of the Challenge Bibendum).

One of the biggest concerns of the curious and future customers is naturally related to batteries. Those fitted to the Kangoo ZE and ZE Fluence are lithium-ion technology as our computers and mobile phones. Without going into technical details, all developed an average of 400 V and is produced by Automotive Electric Supply Corporation, a joint venture between Nissan. This type of battery is distinguished by its low maintenance and its effect memory load does not exist: if the older generation batteries nickel-metal hydride it was better to meet specific load cycles for fear of losing capacity and autonomy, this constraint does not exist with the batteries used on products ZE Result, if you are missing a little energy to reach your home is you will be able to charge what you are missing and not to wait for the full recharge of the battery.

For those who believe in recycling, it will be fully taken into account by Renault which has already made a partnership with Umicore, a leader in the recycling of these batteries. For safety, batteries have experienced strange things: start a fire underneath the vehicle test of the nail (which has intervened to ensure no leakage due to the intrusion of a foreign body) and so on. A guide emergency ERG was performed according to a set of specifications that was set up with firefighters on what to do if an incident occurs.

If you are hungry for information and are afraid not to control the ZE once the vehicle by hand, there is the EZ BOX. As you can probably understand, it’s a box, but that includes everything you need to know about your vehicle and its new technology. To know everything about the Fluence / Kangoo ZE in itself, its charge, the battery and the services that revolve around. The abundance of information does not stop there, and Renault is also available to customers and the series My EZ Connect service that works like an online portal which provides information about the state of his car, especially on its current load.

new Lexus 200h CT F-Sport was recently celebrated at the IAA 2011 his European debut and went to the attention of a wider audience. The new sports suspension brings the “F-Sport” variant, a more agile, more dynamic handling. As part of the hybrid tuning coil springs with different spring rates to keep feeding, the comfortable “Showa” shocks the standard version were matched by crisp “Kayaba” damper replaced. Why, however, the CO2 emission increase of the series CT200h of 87 g / km for the F-Sport to 94 g / km, Lexus was not known. An increase in output, however, did not take place, so that weight gain is a risk of more electricity consumers as the reason. Everything except sports. In any case, the issue of environmental protection device offered despite the driving dynamics and enhanced features not fall behind.

The Lexus hybrid tuning can not rule out the interior
