Green Lifestyle With Eco Friendly Car

Green Lifestyle With Eco Friendly Car

The issue of climate change and greening was also creeping into the automotive sector, especially cars. Go green movement is so massive encourage automakers are competing to show that environmentally friendly cars. Even in some of the auto show, environmentally friendly cars successfully compete with conventional cars.

Obviously we hope, the future of this car can be used as a solution to the problem of emissions and pollution that is increasingly acute.

Toyota Prius
Green Car or commonly referred to as eco-friendly cars are cars that use two or more distinct power sources to drive the vehicle. This term generally refers to the Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs), which combine internal combustion engines and electric motors.

This time, environmentally friendly cars that will be discussed is the Toyota Prius. Toyota Prius hybrid car is the first commercially mass produced by Toyota, and was first sold in Japan in 1997.

What makes an environmentally friendly car that is different from others?

This environmentally friendly car is a car can be driven by gasoline and electricity. The following description of super technology for the environmentally friendly cars:

1 Design an environmentally friendly car body aerodynamics with a drag coefficient of Cd = 0.25 to produce a car that almost no smog emissions and provide fuel efficiency exceptional.

2. Regenerative braking, using motor-geerator that converts kinetic energy into electrical energy which is then stored in the battery

3. Toyota NZ engine uses the Atkinson cycle is much more efficient than using the Round Otto. Gasoline engine is usually stopped when the car stopped and accessories (including air) using a battery driven. Machines used to move the vehicle and also charge the battery. Because the electric motor provides extra power for quicker acceleration, given the small size of the engine to increase fuel efficiency and reduce emissions with acceptable acceleration.

4. Equipped with Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD), which is the planetary gearset CVT that operates like to improve the efficiency. Hybrid Synergy Drive computer control to adjust the power of a gasoline engine and electric motor as required by the front wheels and the rechargeable battery.

5. Equipped with a rechargeable battery module 38 nickel metal hydride (NiMH) to provide 273.6 V, 6.5 Ah capacity This battery is supplied directly by Panasonic. These batteries are usually charged up to 40-60% of maximum capacity for memperpanjan battery life and also provides a reserve for regenerative braking.
