Peugeot Hybrid4: a history lesson

A brief summary of the PSA hybrid solution. The French have long championed diesel, and there are a lot of oh la la was and teeth chattering in the corridors of Peugeot Citroen HQ will include how to turn the world to gasoline-electric hybrids, many of them are terribly expensive, custom-made models with knee high emissions and sky-high price tags.

PSA, with much help from Bosch has come up with what it claims is a much simpler system: Hybrid4. It takes an existing model with an internal combustion engine – Step Forward 3008 – and screw on a relatively low 27kW electrically driven rear axle.

Carz review: Honda CR-Z Hybrid 2010

The Honda CR-Z is an unlikely hero for Honda, the car, again, at least a little of its sporty image after his retirement from F1 and could AXING both the NSX supercar project and the S2000.

The Honda CR-Z is a hybrid sports coupe, the first car to get with this kind of power to a six-speed manual transmission with. His style is of strategic information from the CR-X from the early 1980s, but it looks too modern. In fact, what is appealing about this coupe that looks like nothing else on the road, it is immediately recognizable as the Honda CR-Z. Honda CR-Z Hybrid 2010.

Sits on a slightly shorter but wider Insight platform that uses the CR-Z, which fell from a wheelbase 115mm, while it has also lost is 30mm in height and 44kg lighter.

The CR-Z is not only employ a revised version of the platform of the Insight, its Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system and Insight, a modified rear suspension set-up. Want to improve performance, replace the Insight Engineers 1.3-liter gasoline engine with the 1.5-liter i-VTEC engine from the Jazz, so that a revised six-speed transmission of the European-spec 1, 8-liter Civic lifted estimated.

The combined performance of the CR-Z hybrid system is min 122bhp at 6,000 rpm, while a combined torque 128lb ft at 1,500 rpm. Our Japan-spec car offered a combined 58mpg. Oh, and incidentally, the CR-Z still employs nickel-metal hydride batteries. Honda CR-Z Hybrid 2010.
What is it?

Slip into the driver’s seat and you will be how much deeper you sit in the CR-Z as a Insight sense. There’s plenty of headroom for the driver to 194cm, but remember, the rear seats, which would fight in the possession of a 12-year-old. Interior trim and quality are higher than those of Insight, and the instrumentation provides more design flair. Flatten the rear seats and make 401 liters of cargo, enough for a couple of suitcases or two golf bags. Honda CR-Z Hybrid 2010.

The IMA system offers three driving modes: Sport, which uses the electric motor to accelerate aid and normal and econ reduce the throttle response retard on fuel consumption and less emissions.

The first thing you notice is the CR-Z’s beefy bottom-end torque. Min with a maximum torque on tap from just 1500 rpm, the coupe springs from rest and reaches 60mph in 9sec how the 6300rpm redline clear in seconds. It is much faster than the Insight. Honda CR-Z Hybrid 2010.

Hold min the engine spinning between 4000rpm and 6000 rpm, and the CR-Z is a right-foot extension to reward, the specially tuned throaty exhaust increases the new sports hybrid experience.

Under the hood is a complete plug-in hybrid power systems. There are two motors – one front and rear – with the former car supplies, low-speed machines to the front wheels. Higher rates of 114bhp/92lb ft 1.6-liter gasoline engine took over, and the supply of high-speed lane change rear-wheel-drive motor cuts. The two motors and engines can operate simultaneously in order to help speed up, while the electronically controlled four-wheel drive (electronic four-wheel drive), and Active Yaw Control (electronic cake), as appropriate torque. Complex, but Mitsubishi claims its PX – MiEV can manage more than 140mpg.

If the Pope wants a new zero-emission car, he might like, i – MiEV goods. From the production of the i – MiEV, this concept provides more interior space, Mitsubishi said, ‘allows the user to fully exercise their imagination to adapt it for any use of his / her choice,’ but more of a PR stunt that it highlight the full capacity of a normal car to start in April 2010.
