Fuel Efficient Cars In Future

A number of automotive manufacturers perform fuel efficient cars in the Tokyo Motor Show which runs from 30 November to 11 December.

Mitsubishi Motors, for example. This Japanese automotive companies introduce small cars and fuel efficient, but have a high comfort, the Mitsubishi Mirage. "We want to make cars with fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly," said Mitsubishi Motors President Osamu Masuko, as quoted from wallstreetdaily.com.

Mirage has a length of 3710 mm, width 1. 665 millimeters and 1490 millimeters high. Compared with the Honda Jazz hatchback sedan, for example, Mirage shorter.

Fuel consumption is also economical. 1,000 cc three-cylinder engine MIVEC consumes only 3.3 liters of fuel for a distance of 100 kilometers, or about 1: 30.3 kilometers. That's thanks to the use of a number of the latest technology, including the Auto Stop & Go and transmission Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). The first technology that will help turn off the engine when the car stopped in front of traffic lights or when stuck in traffic.

Other manufacturers are Suzuki Motor Corporation, which introduced Regina as its flagship. "This car presents a neat appearance design, light weight, and super-efficient machine," Suzuki said in a statement via his official website.

Regina carrying the 800 cc engine equipped with a turbocharger. Interestingly, a smaller car than the Suzuki Swift was using a regenerative braking system and start-stop devices.

Thanks to the regenerative brake system technology, the power of the engine braking is released when the driver did not just disappear. Power is recycled into new energy.

The start-stop technology will turn off the engine when the car stopped in front of traffic lights or when stuck in traffic. As a result, bursts of fuel into the combustion chamber can be saved.

Not only that. Net weight of this car is also no more than 720 pounds. The weight was 300 pounds lighter than the current Suzuki Swift .

Aerodynamic body has a higher rate than other small cars that exist today, so that the coefficient of drag or air resistance level of ability to penetrate 10 percent higher than other small car models.

A series of these features make this car is fuel efficient. According to the results of testing the new car through the test methods in Japan, JC08, the car was shown to consume only 3.1 liters of fuel for a distance of 100 kilometers or 32 kilometers per liter. Meanwhile, through the measurement of the New European Driving Cycle, it is known that CO2 emissions produced no more than 70 grams per kilometer.

Another breakthrough was made by Toyota Motor Corporation, which introduced a hybrid variant Tuesday, Aqua. "This car carrying the 1500 cc engine combined with electric motors Hybrid Synergy Drive," said Toyota management to autoguide.com.

Toyota claims the car's fuel consumption reaches 82-94 miles per gallon, or about 33.64 to 38.56 kilometers per liter. However, some estimate the fuel consumption figures in the last variant of the Toyota Prius ranks, no less than 50 miles per gallon or 20.51 kilometers per liter, such as the Prius fuel consumption that exist today.

Five-door hatchback car was a new family member in the clan Toyota Prius. The car will be the smallest variance among the existing variants. In global markets, he used the name Prius C.

Unfortunately, Toyota has not released many details of the specifications of the car. The manufacturer is only mentioned, the conventional engine is capable of spraying power to 55 kW at 4800 rpm and torque of 111 Newton meters (Nm). The electric motor produces power up to 45 kW and 169 Nm of torque. Hatchback's total workforce to 100 kilowatts and torque reaching 280 Nm.

As manufacturers introduce Takeri Mazda, which adopted the Kodo design elements. As quoted from the site 4wheelsnews.com automotive, Mazda's president, Takashi Yamanouchi, states four-door sedan is powered by a diesel engine just 2.0 liter SkyActiv combined with 6-speed automatic transmission new. Mazda cars into fuel efficient vehicles because systems equipped with i-stop.

In addition, Mazda complete with regenerative braking, which is called i-LOOP (Intelligent Energy Loop). This technology is touted as the kinetic energy recovery system of the world's first use of a capacitor, not the battery.

The car manufacturer Daihatsu Motor Co. Ltd. carries the four-efficient cars as well, namely Mira E: S, DX, PICO, and FC Sho Case. Of the four, only one that has been produced, namely Mira E: S. The car that was launched last September, it just takes one liter of fuel for a distance of 30 kilometers.

While Pico, a car with two seats, direct the attention of visitors membetot Tokyo Motor Show. This compact electric car concept. Although body size is very small Pico, Daihatsu account all the features that can maximize the safety of drivers and those around him.

"This car is equipped with the system to avoid a collision," said Shigemutsu Kitano, Manager of Product Marketing Division Daihatsu. The trick with intelligent placement of radar on the front and rear for help navigating the driver at the wheel.

President of Daihatsu Motor Co. Ltd., Koichi Ina, said his company will focus on developing a compact vehicle that could improve fuel efficiency. That is why, Daihatsu concentrate makes electric cars and hybrid cars.
