First mass-produced electric cars take to the streets of Africa


Delegates to COP17 global climate conference travel in zero emission vehicles. For the first time ever, a fleet of mass-produced, zero-emission vehicles have taken to the streets of Africa.

A dozen electric cars from the Renault-Nissan Alliance highlighted the benefits of green transportation and provided a zero-emission shuttle services for delegates at the 2011 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Durban, South Africa, Nov. 28-Dec. 9. The 17th annual Conference of Parties (better known as COP17) aims to “stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations at a level that will prevent dangerous human interference with the climate system.”

The highly acclaimed Nissan LEAF and the Renault Fluence ZE, two of the most affordable zero-emission cars ever produced, were on the streets as shuttles for COP17 delegates. They are also available for test drives.

CarzPage Review: Gozilla Skyline Nissan GT-R 2012

nissangtr_2012-carzpageYou can see the difference? No? Come, look really closely. In fact, do not bother, because although this is a thoroughly revised 2012 model year Nissan GT-R looks, there is absolutely identical to the 2011 model year.

Thus, the Nissan GT-R is still huge and brutal and undeniably Japanese. And now it’s even faster, more capable and more entertaining.
Nissan GT-R (2012): What’s new?

The word “entertaining” is what the GT-R is a machine such Marmite. Many people see it has a super-sophisticated all-wheel drive system, a transmission efficiency minimum-input/maximum and read the improbable acceleration numbers and lap times and take on this GT-R is everything quickly and without participation; a car that needs no skill and offers no reward other than bragging pub. More power to persuade is never that vocal group that the GT-R is a real hero car and a dazzling experience.

The cold, hard facts are that this 2012 GT-R was ground in each area: for the first time since its introduction, the GT-R 3.8-liter V6 twin-turbo engine is mechanical and not just by a new configured ECU and uprated exhaust package.

All in the name of more throttle response and more power the higher rev range – it has heads, sodium filled valves, new, a revised intake system revised.

The shocks have new programming language, the springs are revised, the transmission shifts more quickly and cleanly, the end wall is structurally stiffer … The GT-R has even different spring rates and rear suspension geometry from one side to the other to the driver’s weight into account. It is a typically meticulous job of chief engineer of the GT-R, Mizuno-san and his team of GT-R possessed.

Nissan’s Esflow Sports Car at Geneva Motor Show

Nissan is known as an electric two-seater, rear-wheel drive sports car at the Geneva Motor Show, the Esflow showing off.

The concept car uses the same lithium ion battery packs as five leaf, but claims to go a lot faster and more fun. Run the 0-62 mph claimed less than five seconds, but to travel with more care in the location it should handle 240 km (149 km) between charges.
The increase in the sheet that manages officially only 100 miles is the Esflow’s lightweight. Part of this comes from the aluminium and the “clean and open” cabin of Esflow.

The two sit in the car are sculpted in the rear bulkhead, rather than individually made of steel and padding. This makes you immobile, but Nissan says the steering wheel and pedals to electronically move the driver to a comfortable driving position found to enable.
