Porsche Hybrid Cars Past and Present
Luxury sports car maker Porsche, all the time, sports, innovation, technology and competition is one of the world’s premier sports car race was. Many courses only global circuit and a testing ground for the famous sports car brand, but also many new racing test, lab, we always try to use the technology of famous sports car manufacturer to improve.
Dr. Ferdinand Porsche, 19 Since the end of the 20th Century, the Lohner-Porsche was innovative at the beginning of the century in 1898 for the design and development, the first hybrid vehicle (gasoline-electric) allowed. Jacob Lohner & Co., a leading engineer, while the vehicle was designed and produced by Dr. Porsche.
Lohner Porsche Semper Vivus (“hybrid mix”), as is known, is a gasoline-powered motor to the axle and the axle was supported in part by two electronic wheel hub motor. Car charger to keep at the same time, with an electric generator. This tool instead of two, was one of four wheel hub motors powered pure electric version as presented.
Now you jump farther, that is, if available, can be seen on hybrid sports car technology, the world is not surprising that Porsche perfection. Porsche 911 GT3 RS, which was the Geneva Motor Show, and has recently launched his own design and a unique hybrid technology that Porsche Intelligent Performance (PIP) some criticism for the use of the innovation. This intelligent hybrid technology, developed to make the racing more efficient, but eventually this technology will eventually filter down to the production car.
Alternative Fuel Cars
Choice of petrol or diesel – have taken steps to eliminate completely taken some of the petroleum fuels, although some of the energy and fuel to reduce fuel consumption by other means to combine tools have the transition a little more easy. This is a good example of a more efficient use of fuel-efficient diesel, only the electric motor and battery hybrid vehicles. Reduce the same result, solar hybrid electric vehicles, fuel and other forms.
And ‘this sudden enthusiasm for alternative fuel vehicles are two main reasons. The first threat of global warming. Long-term effects of global warming, a lot of talk and a lot of speculation, although it is generally accepted that the Earth is constantly changing, global warming is greater than it should be. This creates a layer that traps heat in the atmosphere and reflected back to the country, believed caused by excessive production of greenhouse gases. Sources of energy such as solar panels on many homes ecological largest reduction in greenhouse gases, which contribute to the transition, the production of energy. Action, another major player in the fight against greenhouse gas emissions, car exhaust, and thus the future of alternative fuels for cars to protect the planet, in part, as needed.
The second reason is more practical. Rapid decline in fossil fuels, a finite resource. Since the rules of supply and demand, high prices to rise less sharply, no. For this reason, a good amount of resources to solve this problem is fast approaching the automotive industry is one of the immediate need for alternative fuel vehicles, to provoke.
