Hyundai approach: improved fuel economy instead of hybrids
Hyundai has recently confirmed that the company will not use the same approach as other manufacturers to offer to the fuel consumption of vehicles they would be valued at purchase, to improve on the market.

According to Hyundai, the company decided not to hybrid vehicles more than their much higher marks to get the fuel to produce. Instead, the Korean car manufacturers most of its attention on developing new technologies to improve fuel economy would focus on improving their vehicles. Could use this mean that the Korean automaker is likely to increase the proportion of their resources Research and Development Department would be to further improve the fuel economy ratings of future business models of cars.

This particular strategy was probably part of Hyundai's commitment to the growing number of customers with cheaper car models deliver even more reliable. Hyundai has chosen not to the trend toward more hybrid models produce to close, as these vehicles are usually sold at relatively high prices and not all car buyers in the U.S. and in other parts of the world are able, the cost of these vehicles to deal with.

In addition, many hybrid car owners currently having a hard time in the payment of hybrid cars that they bought and that's what you want to avoid Hyundai. Apart from Hyundai is also aware that the hybrid-car ownership means higher maintenance costs and the company wants to avoid that potential customers these costs by limiting the hybrids they produced and received in the market.

Hyundai has ventured into the production of hybrid cars and the results were very impressive. However, they still decided to temporarily stop the production of new models of hybrid cars, despite the success of its gas-electric models like the Kia Optima and Hyundai Sonata Hybrid hybrid, because the company is on a unique approach toward greater fuel efficiency.

Although expect a lot of car experts that could be this particular policy overall production Hyundai sales are cut off because the U.S. federal government plans to more laws imposed to further reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emissions greenhouse, the company is still optimistic that they come with an effective strategy to meet these future regulations.

Hybrid Cars Can Make The Fleet Average of 62 MPG Nation

A debate held in the highest levels of government can decide the fate of the auto industry. No, the cars are not removed from the market, but the types of cars we drive may soon advisers of the Obama administration, which grow to a fleet average of 62 mpg by 2015 will be determined. This means that in just over a decade, the average vehicle sold by the manufacturers need to reach that number, or at least manufacturers have a large amount of fuel-efficient vehicles have on heavy trucks, crossovers and compensate cars powered traditional gas.

The Obama administration is urging the highest levels of fuel consumption for two reasons: to reduce America's dependence on foreign fuel and reduce exhaust emissions, the latter being held responsible for climate change. Both approaches are without each other, but to deal as federal regulators an area, they will take the other.

Get 62 mpg seems a tall order, as to pass only a handful of electric cars. But we are talking about the average for the fleet means that car companies can still get the big trucks get 25 mpg, as long as they also sell small cars get enough consumption is much higher to compensate for the decline. One way that car manufacturers begin to federal targets with hybrid, increase reach and perhaps the easiest way to profitable overall average corporate fleet.

Although no conventional hybrid on the market at the moment mpg somewhere near 62nd Close, but still far is the Toyota Prius, which at 51 mpg city, 48 mpg highway is assessed. However, there is a conventional hybrid, which already meets the requirements of the Federal Reserve proposed and it is the Chevrolet Volt. Powered by a lithium-ion battery and gas engine with an additional 1.4 liters, the Volt gets the equivalent of 93 mpg in electric-only mode. This area is just 35 miles off the gas engine must occur, but it seems likely that the federal government to recognize these differences when promoting a car like the Volt.

A different way to squeeze more miles per gallon car manufacturers is to come with hybrid options. GM will do just that this fall, when several models with eAssist goes. The Buick LaCrosse, for example, using this technique, enjoy a bonus of 25 percent of fuel consumption for a large car, which at 25 mpg city, 37 mpg highway should be evaluated. To "hybridize" this "mild hybrid" with the belt / starter / generator technology, the vehicle and let it benefit from the improved fuel economy.

While the system is far from Buick future plans 62 mpg, but it's a step in the right direction. Other options explored hybridization include diesel engine and electric motor combination and deliver exceptional fuel economy. Even without hybrid, a Ford Focus next should get 80 mpg in Europe, with the diesel-law and nothing else.
