Thanks to NanoPro-TechTM which has a lower rolling resistance coefficient. This technology has been properly employed in this tyre to have the optimum results. The new EP150 is best suited for small and medium sized vehicle users.

Visitors Pour into Frankfurt Motor Show on the Last Weekend: Exhibitors Are Delighted

FRANKFURT, Germany - September 26, 2009: "The 63rd IAA Cars has greatly exceeded all our expectations. The world’s most important trade show for mobility has proved to be a crowd-puller even under very difficult circumstances. We will have around 850,000 visitors at the IAA, far exceeding our own target of 750,000,” stressed Matthias Wissmann, President of the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), at the International Motor Show, which runs until 27 September.

It does not make much sense to use the IAA 2007, which took place during an economic boom, as a guide. “The general conditions have changed completely,” Wissmann emphasized. But even as compared to the record IAA in 2007, the fall in visitor numbers was “only just about half of what we expected.” The drop was mostly due to the fact that for reasons of cost the exhibiting firms were “extremely cautious” when it came to inviting customers to the IAA. “If you look at the general public that buy their admission tickets on the door, you see that attendance has gone down by only 5 per cent. People are just as enthusiastic as ever about automobiles, the halls housing the 100 world premieres are attracting huge numbers of visitors, and some of them are full to overflowing,” Wissmann said. The “regal weather” was also pulling in the IAA guests to the open-air site with its varied program of events ranging from the off-road circuit to test drives.

The Delighted Visitors

This distinguishes the IAA from other motor shows that this year have suffered falls in visitor numbers in the upper double-digit range or have even been cancelled altogether.

“The old equation ‘congestion on the roads means a well attended IAA’ lost its validity a long time ago. We have continued to work with the city and the police to optimize the management of parking lots for the IAA, and this time we reserved a sufficient number of spaces right close to the trade show. This has benefited the visitors to the IAA – they have more time for going round the exhibition. Even the police are surprised that everything is going so well,” Wissmann explained. There was more “congestion” in the exhibition halls, he added. All the halls at the IAA were popular with visitors, especially the new Hall 11 occupied by BMW, which forms another major focus in the west part of the IAA.

“Our exhibitors – manufacturers and suppliers alike – are also very satisfied with this IAA, as the stand managers have told me in great and varied detail during my extensive tours. The public is very knowledgeable and interested. And our survey has shown that one IAA visitor in four wants to buy a car in the next six months,” the VDA president emphasized.

The IAA is open to the public until 7.00 p.m. on Sunday, 27 September 2009.

Volvo brings the new Pedestrian Safety System

Volvo brings the new Automatic Braking Technology in the market in its upcoming models. This improved intelligent system will certainly reduce the on road accidents. Previously, the safety system was for vehicle-vehicle collision but now this system makes the human life even safer than it previously was. Automatic Braking System detects the pedestrians in front of car and the full brakes are applied if the car’s speed is below 24km/h. At greater speeds, the impact speed is reduced and this intelligent system tries its best to minimize the collision impact. The reduction in collision impact can save many precious lives. The fatality risk can be reduced upto 80 percent as claimed by Thomas Broberg, safety expert at Volvo cars.

How the Automatic Braking System works?
This is a very general question that how this system works in harmony with the driver? In an emergency case, the audible sound is heard to make the driver alert along with the emergency signal light in the head up display. If the driver does not responds and the accident seems to be certain, then full brakes are applied automatically and hence the accident can be completely avoided for speeds less than 24 km/h.

State-of-the-art technology opens the new world of AI
This new artificial intelligent system is composed of a dual mode radar unit which is installed in the car’s grill, a high resolution camera at the back of the rear view mirror and CCU (Central Control Unit). Radar detects the onroad objects and their distance from the car where as the camera detects the type of the object and the pedestrians moving patterns. This system deserves appreciation especially for monitering the pedestrians early who are about to step on road.
Thanks to Volvo who bring this advanced system in their vehicles and ensure the safety of the pedestrians.

VCT (Variable Cam Timing) technology increases the engine performance

Variable Cam Timing has brought the revolution in the auto industry. This innovative concept employs opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves accordingly which results in enhanced engine performance and lowers the fuel consumption and emissions. This new technology was used for the first time by Ford. It is now being used by Nissan and some other automakers.

How it works?
The basic idea is to control the valve timing electronically. The engine oil is directed into the camshaft phasor cavity by the electronically controlled hydraulic valves. The Phasor Cavity Module (PCM) transmits the electric signal to the solenoids to move the valves that control the flow of the oil into the phasor cavity which in turn controls the valve timing of the engine.

Judge the driving style by looking at the tyres

You can easily judge the driving style of a person by just looking at the shape of the tyres. That is why it is commonly said that “Driving style matters a lot!” and there is no doubt. So here are the few tips by using which you can easily tell the driving style of a person. It falls in three categories, patches on tyre, side threads disappear, center threads disappear. I will briefly discuss each of them.

• Patches on tyre

Patches are formed on the tyres due to excessive braking. When a driver applies the brakes, the wheels are locked. So what happens is that if the driver is used of applying excessive brakes, then only certain portion of the tyre comes in contact with the earth and as a result, patches are formed.

Excessive Braking

• Side threads Disappear
The main reason for the side threads to disappear is under inflation. If the driver drives the car keeping the tyres under inflated, then side threads disappear
and the tyre will look as shown in the image below.

Under inflated Tyres

• Center threads disappear
Center threads are disappeared due to over inflation. Most of the drivers drive their vehicles keeping the tyres over inflated. So in most of the cases, you will see the center threads disappeared.

Over inflated Tyres

If anything is unclear to you, then comment please.

Which steps should I take to buy a new car?

Yesterday, I was reading an article on “the steps to buy a new car” and I really found it useful. So I thought to share some of its important points. I myself have seen so many car buyers who keep changing their autos time and again but still not satisfied with the single one. The result is that they curse their cars all the time driving and finally sell it. Here are some of the steps to be followed before you go to buy a new auto.

• What are your practical needs for a new vehicle?

The first question you need to answer is what are your practical needs for the car. I mean for how long you plan to keep it with you? Does it meet the space requirements for your family? What should be the luggage capacity? How long you need to drive it daily? On what type of terrain you want to drive it?

After finding the answers of all these questions switch yourself to the second question.

• Can you spend a part of your monthly budget on car?
This a very important point to be noticed. Every machine degrades with the passage of time and demands a proper maintenance. This is as the appetite demands food from you. So what you need to know is that can you really spend a part of your monthly income on repair, tuning, service, fuel and other costs on your car?

• Do you really like the car you are going for?
Do you really love the car you want to buy because the more you love it, the more you can spend on it and the longer it will be with you. So do not be emotional, take your time, think that which car attracts you the most and fulfill your basic needs apart from luxury.

• Have a test drive without the presence of the car’s owner
This is the most important thing you are going to do because after this the car is going to be yours. Never take a test drive in the presence of the car’s owner. First see the exterior of the car. Is it repainted? Are the bumpers cracked? Are there scratches on the winshield because it affects your drive at night?
Now open the bonnet and have a deep look on all the accessories. Do they satisfy you? Does the engine seem reasonably old? Which battery does it has? Is the engine oil upto the desired level? Is any wire broken?
After having a detailed view, sit in the car. Test the electronics properly. Are the front and tail lights, indicators, parking and brake lights working properly? Does wiper works? Is the speedometer alright? See the luggage capacity.
After having done this, drive the car in the owner’s absence. Observe where it lacks you interests? Have a drive for atleast one week daily and see does it meet all your requirements? If YES, then go for it and keep it with you for years as the old American man keeps his old Gran Torino (an inspiring movie) !!!

Variable Compression Ratio gives the better fuel economy

VCR (Variable Compression Ratio) is not a very recent technology but many of you may not be well aware of this terminology. It has been existing since decades but only within the boundaries of the laboratories. The reason for not using this technology in the cars is the mechanical complexity of the system but with the advancement in technology, this system is now available in the market. VCR actually increases the fuel efficiency by varying the compression ratios of the engine cylinders depending upon the required pressure and loads. At high loads, a low compression ratio gives the more economical results.

The basic concept is to change the volume above the top dead center of the piston. Turbo chargers enhance the power requirements of the engine but at the same time they tend to increase the pressure inside the cylinder. The increased pressure results in the detonation (which is undesirable) before the burning of the fuel. So by varying the compression ratio, detonation can be avoided. Thanks to VCR which fulfills the basic need of a better fuel economy.

Variable Compression Ratio

Hydraulic system is used to alter the engine head which then responds desirably on power requirements and results in a low fuel consumption. Saab automobiles used this technology for the first time in year 2000. A 1.6 L, 228 hp Variable Compression Ratio super charged engine was used in Saab prototype vehicle to which they named as SVC (Saab Variable Compression). The company claimed 30 % reduction in fuel consumption after using VCR engine.

BMW releases its new concept Vision EfficientDynamics

BMW Vision EfficientDynamics is a new concept plug in hybrid car that is to be displayed before public in the Frankfurt Motor Show. I just said “WOW” when I came across this car. The complete innovative exterior design with some awesome features has brought this car to the platform of top rated concept cars. The four seater BMW has the typical two grilled front frame with the BMW logo in the center. The headlights are a bit narrow. The side view mirrors are positioned a little above than where they normally are. This is done to reduce the drag and improve the aerodynamics.

Front View

The new BMW concept is a plugin hybrid technology with 1.5 litres 3 cylinder turbodiesel engine. 163 hp engine when combined with two electric motors give it a tremendous 356 hp with 590 lb-ft of torque. The car has two hybrid systems in general. Rear wheel hybrid system, being composed of the electric motor and the engine, powers the rear wheel axle where as the front one powers the front wheels with the aid of the second electric motor operated on battery. The car uses a highly efficient typical lithium ion battery. The battery can be charged in just 2.5 hours with the total capacity of 10.8 kWh.

Front End View

The astonishing attribute of this BMW concept is its very low fuel consumption of 62.6 mpg. The car can go from 0 to 100 kmph in 4.8 secs. The chassis made of aluminium keeps the car very light, it is only 1395 kg.
This left hand drive has a single door when viewed from the side which look like the butterfly wings when opened. The car has an extremely low profile. The tyres are beautifully designed which give the look of the rotor attached to the center of the it. The side cuts lower the overall drag with enhanced performance.

Side View

The new BMW concept has innovative taillights. These are kept thin to improve the aerodynamics of the car. The taillights are projected towards the side body of the car which look extremely fragile from their appearance.

Rear End View

Will this concept remain a concept? This depends on the success of the new BMW. What do you think??
