A powerful hum fulfills the contemplative streets on Lake Lucerne. Lorenzo Schmid occurs through the pedal and the silver electric cars shoots like a sports car like this. Nor is the mindset just a rolling drive with a little sheet around. But as early 2009, the first cars delivered. The body, styled by former VW design boss Murat Günak, stands as a great draft live in a glass box in the middle of the meadow of Schmid’s villa and has already for much stir.

Something new: an electric car as a status symbol

Günak with Murat, financier Lorenzo Schmid and Design Professor Paolo Tumminelli has the mindset top obstetricians. The trendsetters from Switzerland, however, have a pleasant deficit: they lack the raised index finger. They must be no hysterical demonization of the automobile fear. In the booklet mindset is about the topic of CO2 only marginally mentioned, and with reference to the fact that the world’s only private transport for 12 percent of all CO2 emissions. (dahası…)

NAVTEQ, the leading global provider of digital map, traffic and location data for in-vehicle, portable, wireless and enterprise solutions, has revealed the results of a proprietary research study designed to assess the consumer impact of everyday use of navigation devices. Previous studies in this field focused more on “getting lost” scenarios versus the benefits to drivers of navigation system use during the course of their normal driving habits(smarthouse.com.au).

Güneş paneli ve rüzgar enerjisi ile çalışan arabanın en göze çarpan özelliği 4 sn. de 0-100 km hıza ulaşması ve 230 km hıza ulaşması….

Kısa sürede şarj ile benzerlerine göre daha çok yol yapabilmesi..

Solar/wind hybrid racecar, it looked little more than the dream of idealistic high school students. Now, they have released computer renderings that make the alternative-energy racer look one step closer to reality.

Eighteen-year-olds Rory Handel and Maxx Bricklin believe their vehicle can use strategically placed wind turbines and solar panels as a means for powering the car. Energy would be stored in ultracapacitors to provide instantaneous boosts of power. They believe this would result in a 0-60mph time below four seconds. Top speed would reach 155 mph.

Vehicle range is expected to be 200 miles per charge, (dahası…)

mercedes-benz-splitview-screen-technologyMercedes-Benz SPLITVIEW Screen Technology

Bu teknolojiyle iki farklı kişi aynı ekrandan istediği programı seyredebilecek. 2009 yazında Mercedes S sınıfında bu teknolojiyi görebileceğiz.

Sometimes when two or more people disagree, it’s best to split them up. Mercedes-Benz is thinking along the same lines with its new SPLITVIEW technology which will premier where else but in the S-Class in summer 2009. The technology’s premise is to basically allow two different programmes to be viewed from the same 8-inch screen.

How does it work? Basically the in-dash monitor shows a backlit active matrix TFT-LCD screen that shows two different images at the same time by placing pixels adjacent to each other. Then a filter which masks the display separates the mixed pixels making one or the other image viewable depending on the seating position. This results in two different images being shown.

SPLITVIEW is developed by Mercedes in conjunction with Bosch and it integrates with COMAND. The front passenger can then watch movies or television while the driver concentrates on the road. To further split the two, headphones can be used to insulate the driver from whatever soundtrack is being played from the other “screen”.

Fransız mühendis Guy Negre kompres edilmiş havayla çalışan bir araba dizayn etti. Havalı araba kısa yolculuklarda egzoz gazı üretmiyor.OneCAT adı verilen arabaların yaklaşık 5000 dolardan satışa çıkması planlanıyor.
Aslında bu arabalar balonla yolculuğun karayolundan yapılan şekli diyebiliriz. Kompres edilmiş havalar karbon fiber tanklarda depolanıyor. Serbest bırakılan havanın basıncı pistonları harekete geçiriyor ve motor çalışıyor, araba hareket ediyor. Kısa yolculuklarda araba sadece hava ile çalışıyor. Fakat uzun yolculuklar için benzin kullanılıyor. Mühendis Negre’nin amacı çevreye zarar vermeyen bir ulaşım şekli yaratabilmek. Tasarladığı bu yeni arabayı hayata geçirmek için Hindistan’daki Tata Motors şirketiyle işbirliği yapıyor.
