2014-2018 Micro hybrid vehicles have a start-stop mechanism that automatically shuts down the engine during idling and restarts the engine when the car accelerates. The mechanism reduces fuel consumption and emissions and ensures a better fuel economy. This technology has a potential to save around 15 percent on fuel savings. The 48V micro hybrid vehicle is designed in such a way that it can capture energy from braking and is able to support higher loads such as air conditioning and active chassis technologies

Driving one of the new high-tech hybrids — cars that combine the power of a gas engine with an electric motor to reduce fuel consumption and emissions — may seem like something only an environmentalist or an engineer could get revved up about. The fact is‚ however‚ that a new generation of hybrid cars and trucks due to go on sale within the next 12 months offer a number of very practical advantages for families‚ from saving money to helping save the planet. Many experts are predicting 2004 will be

One of the major issues most stressed upon to date is the ever-increasing threat of environmental degradation‚ global warming‚ and the need to conserve our scarce natural resources. This has led us to examine the fuel efficiency of cars. With rising gas prices‚ owning a car can become quite costly‚ not only eroding the

Companies are constantly battling this variable. This is not the only issue facing companies today. But it is certainly a concerning one to companies who rely on fuel for their company to thrive. These challenges are aligned with rising material costs as well. The economics of transportation affects the lives of all U.S. citizens

This will conserve the fossil fuels we are currently consuming at an alarming rate. Many little things can be done in an attempt to conserve energy in the home.

When the car was not selling‚ he backed out and made Mercedes the primary owner and operator. The main reason why the car was not selling was because of the cost.
