A double evocation of Honda and hydrogen, it comes back invariably to the FCX Clarity in the first place. Always at the forefront when it comes to work and conduct studies in R & D in this particular area , the Japanese automaker introduces something new being tested in its home market.Leitmotif? A solar recharging mobile hydrogen.

Within the broad framework of its many programs inherent in alternative energy, so Honda unveils a mobile charging station, charging station producing hydrogen via solar panels through which recharge a car overnight.

More concretely, it is the first facility in Japan as a total system of production that stores and distributes hydrogen without CO2 emissions but also noise years.

What production? According to Honda, portable generator could produce up 1.5 kg of hydrogen in 24 h. Either to make a more pragmatic, allowing an FCX ​​Clarity to claim a range of 150 km. This station is currently under study in Saitama Prefecture. Expected to be mobile, it could also grow in the future in other public or private places.

Meanwhile, Honda also announced the possibility of a CF Clarity a mobile generator with a built-in plug which will give power to a power of 9 kW.

Just revealed in the aisles of New York that already have the latest Atlantic Fisker is at the heart of various statements (and unattractive might say) as to its industrial future.

In granting an interview to Automotive News, the new CEO of Fisker Automotive , has cracked several notable statements. First, he indicated that the next Atlantic, imagining a positive outcome, would finally produced where production costs would be more bearable (financially) for the brand.

Surprising when one finally knows the future of the industrial site of Wilmington. But at the same time clarify the complex American could be an option, however (fallback?). Recall in addition that the Karma is currently produced in Finland.

And the decision known as the production site has not yet been clarified, the new Atlantic will undoubtedly postponed the date of marketing in time. 2013, we forget. 2014, why not. Later, surely. Never?

The money, the sinews of war, is also found in some of his remarks. If the trademark has not taken any hope of a loan from the DOE, it intends to finding U.S. and foreign investors to secure financing.

Finally, more informally, Fisker questions after his contract with A123 Systems Pourr supply of batteries … One last given? Sales figures of Karma, initially estimated at 10 000 copies in the year 2012 globally, have been reduced to half or less than 4000 units.

Valeo proposes to democratize hybridization using different systems according to the French equipment allow a 15% reduction in emissions. Why Valeo offers a variety of components that hybridization cheaper overall.

Hybridization is the comprehensive solution developed – and democratized – by Toyota with the Prius and generally adopted by manufacturers. It has the advantage of offering good emission reductions but it has against it to be very complex to develop and relatively expensive which confines them to certain models only and prevents its democratization.

Valeo’s solution is slightly different to be replicable and applicable to virtually all existing models and thus to lower system cost. This is obviously centered around a “super-alternator starter” greater power and a stronger battery to enable the classic start-stop but also take off even very short distances on electric mode only .

Unlike a hybrid global, no engine power does not entail the wheels directly . The starter-alternator is type STARS – similar to that appeared on the C3 Stop & Start in 2004 – but in addition to allowing the engine restart, it also allows the training of the alternator belt what drives the pistons, the connecting rods and the crankshaft. The valves are closed, the engine is off but “turns” always and only for the driver the absence of noise is noticeable.

Less efficient than a global solution, this hybridization light has a reasonable cost and still allows a 15% reduction in emissions. “With the program Hybrid4All, our systems will, of course, lower CO2 reductions, however, that we will compensate largely by the number of vehicles in circulation, because the system is very affordable and easily duplicated on all vehicles to our customers, “ said Henri Trintignacprogram director for Valeo Electrical.

Smaller reduction but applied to many more people. That’s according Valéo which should lead to lower emissions even more important. If the OEM manufacturers convinced, then it could mean the democratization of the Stop & Start.

Electric vehicles have a considerable advantage over their urban counterparts engine: they are silent and it is an immense gain to reduce noise pollution. This advantage is however one major flaw in terms of safety for pedestrians because the perception of the vehicle is made difficult by the absence of noise.

Electric vehicle manufacturers already equip their vehicle with a buzzer to warn pedestrians, this is the case of the Nissan Leaf or Renault Twizy to name a few. This alarm is active up to 30 km / h. Beyond that, the sound oftires is quite big and makes the vehicle audible.

In the case of the R8 e-tron, the system used, called e-sound, is a speaker with a 40W power attached to the frame. Under normal conditions, only 5-8 watts are needed to make e-tron audible for pedestrians and cyclists. On the other hand, the occupants can enjoy the sound from the speaker, either by air (as passers-by) or by structural (vibration transmission through the frame).

A picture of a vehicle engine, the acoustics of the R8 e-tron has been first developed on a chassis dynamometer in a semi-anechoic chamber. This room, whose walls and ceiling are covered with an absorbent device (dihedral or so pyramids), allows a precise analysis of sounds emitted by the vehicle while avoiding sounds emitted or reflected in a natural environment.Once validated solutions in the Room, the prototype is validated by outside conditions.

The sound is modulated as a function of various parameters such as the rotational speed of the electric motor, the vehicle speed, the depression of the accelerator pedal, etc.. All these parameters are analyzed directly by the CPU of the vehicle (ECU) and the sound is updated in a millisecond.

With e-sound, Audi has therefore not only developed a horn for pedestrians, but has extended the use of loudspeaker at full speed for reproducing with vehicle electrical experience a vehicle internal combustion engine. With an acoustic pressure, the occupants of the R8 e-tron and passersby to find the pleasure of driving and hear a sporty vehicle.

That we have not yet written about the ‘new’ Porsche 911 , the ninth generation of the name and coded 991 in-house, which is going to blow itself up as one of the stars of the show in Frankfurt (if not the star)?Constantly changing, the legend of Zuffenhausen is reviewed by small alterations. The most significant concern regarding this version finally his tendency to be overweight, relatively speaking, with a consequent increase in the wheelbase of 10 cm and a length up to several tens of mm display 4.49 m (instead of a weight reduction of 45 kg). myth evolves . He had this to boost sales decreased in recent months, apparently waiting impatiently Porschistes 991 …

Unveiled in Carrera and Carrera S, the range of 911 will gradually grow to expand to different versions (and limited series) that have marred the career of its predecessor with a score of variations.

As for style and changes made, the pictures below you will entertain you to the game of seven errors by comparing the old (interior inspired by the Carrera GT, the dashboard into a vein Panamera for example, integration of the retro, etc..).

At Porsche we have logically opted to not to jostle the codes and go through the box evolution rather than revolution. Nothing wrong keeps intact the sexagenarian sex appeal. Art with a capital A play on the neo-retro and / or vice versa. To follow all the technical details and technical information.We will come back, there will not hurt to have fun!

Friday, November 4, 2011, return on the Rally GT linking Megève in Saint-Tropez, with a Porsche 997 Turbo Cabriolet prepared by Maxx Evolution .
The GT Rally, held from September 28 to October 1, is simply a regularity rally, in the spirit of the Rally de Paris (also organized by RALLYSTORY).The cars are accepted only modern GT, ranging from the BMW 1 M Coupein Porsche 997 GT3 RS 4.0 via the Lamborghini Murcielago or McLaren MP4-12C. But it is not unusual to see vehicles prepared, just like the Porsche 997 Turbo Cabriolet, revised and corrected by the Russians at Maxx Evolution.
was not more information on the numbers of this beast. But when we know they work in partnership with Edo Competition or Cargraphic was already dizzy.
Anyway, this matte black Porsche contrast to this bucolic setting what this 5-star “The Farms Mary “in Megeve. For photography enthusiasts, the EXIF data of this photo: Case: Nikon D90 Focal Length: 31mm Exposure: 1/40secAperture: f/4.5 Sensitivity: 400iso

First version to appear around the new Porsche 911 Type 991 , theconvertible unveiled its lines, while still keeping his secret on the novelty of his hood system.

Porsche begins to decline around the 911 range of the new generation, starting with the convertible. A new model that innovates by its roof system.Glimpsed on pictures of prototypes or sketches patent system is supposed to combine the advantages of a soft top or hardtop. Yet precision official from Porsche that merely evoke the novelty, but also the ability to preserve the qualities of the line of the vehicle. When closed or open. Note also the integration of windstop, electrically controlled.

The result seems to live up to expectations, with a high back that seems less than the 997. The space occupied in the rear seems also revised hausse.La hood is also his work in relief of the vehicle with some parts made of magnesium.

Available from the start in Carrera (Flat6 3.4l 350 hp) or Carrera S (Flat6 3.8l 400 hp), it will arrive in time to the best days of use of a convertible, since the first copies will be delivered in March 2012 . Count € 100,532 for the Carrera and € 114,931 for the Carrera S

The Porsche 911 Type 991 is the main novelty of this year-end for the German manufacturer but we do not forget so far the 997 marketed since 2004. As proof, she is honored today with the preparation of the German tuner & Art Cars in a pack called “Pretty Boy”.

Based on Carrera 4S , this transformation gives a much sportier look to the original 4S. From the outset, our eye turns towards the gold wheels OZ Racing Ultraleggera HLT 20-inch, wrapped in tires Dunlop Sport Maxx GT.Suspensions, as you might expect, have been modified, equipped H & R , they bring the car around 35 mm from the ground and new releases exhaust embellish even the sound of the flat 6. This version of Pretty Boy stands out for its beauty as by its technical changes. We thus find a body, two-tone white / blue and a carbon fiber roof. The blue highlights the rocker panels, rear extractor, the air intake below the front and rear view mirrors.

On the sidelines of the commercialization of the latest generation 911 ,Porsche decided to publish a video on his official channel and we partially revealing few steps in the development of prototypes. Images to find out for fun.

From South Africa to the Arctic Circle, in the ultimate conditions of heat or vice versa, Porsche engineers have obviously pampered the rigorous development of the new generation of beautiful Zuffenhausen.

The opportunity to explore below some steps in the development of the 911 while the convertible variant broadens the offer before the many complementary versions come gradually offer more.

The Italian trainer reveals some accessories vested in the Porsche 911 (legacy and most recent ), built around elements of picks here and there in a few catalogs.

This offer launched on the Porsche 911 is built around a more concrete elements of the catalog picks Slovenian Akrapovic home.

Thus the offer declined by the expert degree exhaust, Romeo Ferraris offers a line of titanium lighter than 30% compared to original line. Based on the 911 Turbo, in prnant reflect the addition of a sports air filter, power increased by 70 bhp 3.8. Finally, one can also point to another exhaust that signed Cargraphic stainless steel and flexible sound. The rates have not yet been revealed.
