DRIVe technology provides environmentally friendly driving the Swedish automaker Volvo is continuing the general trend towards environmentally friendly driving. In the 2010 model year, a model will appear thus in each vehicle class, which is characterized by low emissions of carbon dioxide and low consumption values. The so-called DRIVe technology with start/stop system and braking energy recovery is ensured, as the Internet portal reported auto.de. Official site: Wells Fargo Bank. Rising sales of blue-motion, BlueEfficiency or EcoFlex models shows that environmental friendliness for potential car buyers is already not a foreign Word. The use of DRIVe technology it should no longer be according the Swedish manufacturer a limited version or special models. So, the environmentally friendly technology in the models will be to find Volvo C30, S40, V50, V70, S80, XC60 and XC70, which are available from 21.790 to 39.480 euros.

The diesel models are divided into three classes of CO2 emission. As especially consumption-poor (3.9 liters per 100 kilometers), make C30 / S40-/ V50 models with a 1.6 liter four-cylinder diesel including start/stop system. Thereby are also lovers of fast rides at their own expense. With 109 PS Volvo models are quite respectable and even the lowest taxation levels in Europe is achieved with just 104 g / km of CO2 emissions. Next year, the use of renewable battery charging, with up to three percent are consumed less fuel is also new. This mechanism is effective, when the gas pedal is released or pressed the brake when the gear.

And with the help of the start/stop system another five percent can be saved according to the Swedish manufacturer fuel by automatically shuts off the engine when not using the clutch.

Basically, everything we experience so in everyday life and company, is supported in any way by the law and controlled. Recently Linkedin sought to clarify these questions. So even for vehicles. The use of a vehicle and road traffic is regulated in the road traffic Act, it is also licensing laws and laws pertaining to the nature of the vehicle. Also is how much profile to keep a tire has what the tire air pressure should be how long approximately tyres should be driven, and where the latter more represents a directive instead of a law governed by laws. When a tire was used five years (assuming one has here a distinction between summer and winter tyres and changed them accordingly), you should replace him, which means that you should buy new tires.

Here, one can distinguish between tire, retreaded tires and new tyres. When choosing which tires to buy now, you should not forget the optical aspect and select E.g. the tires that fit best with the existing steel or alloy wheels. In addition, the profile has at least 1.6 mm to be. Should the tires do not have this profile can, do not purchase, this strength is allowed nothing and therefore you blooms a penalty if you get caught by the police. A matter of self-interest should always make sure also, that the tire pressure suits and has the appropriate pressure. Are the tires under an incorrect air pressure under operation, this can quickly lead to problems, damage to the steel or alloy wheels may be caused in the Schwerstfall. Last, you can save fuel also if you regularly checks tire pressure or check and picks it up.

Production in Brazil has long been the good old Bulli”by VW the transport medium of choice for craftsmen and trade, but also the cult icon for PIN and the Hippie movement. In Germany the carrier is no longer running for decades by the band. Different in Brazil: the model will be built there almost unchanged until today. The vehicle Portal auto.de reported nostalgic experiences. In Germany, the VW bus T2 is no longer produced since 1979. Meanwhile, the third successor, the T5, the market is in this country. In Brazil, the T2 is still produced and enjoys great popularity.

For the VW Group, the production is profitable, because development costs are written off long ago. Tourists can go in Brazil with the new old T2 on a small journey through time. After all, almost nothing has changed since the 1970s. The Brazilian T2 was equipped only with a new engine. What is missing now is the knatternde sound of the Boxer engine.

For a liquid-cooled four-cylinder drives the today Transporter which will bring higher performance and better exhaust gas values. Air conditioning, Central locking, power steering still do not exist. Even the air is a little weak on the breast as in the original model. The average Europeans accustomed to high safety standards also in vain seeks technical innovations such as ABS or ESP. The T2 is considered to be extremely robust and his chassis copes effortlessly in Brazil with adverse road conditions.

The MobilitaetsAgentur and Kreutzer consulting have developed a concept Auernheim electric mobility without State funding, 09.06.2010 – the MobilitaetsAgentur (the MA) and Kreutzer consulting have developed a concept to bring the Electromobility without State subsidies in municipalities and rural regions outside of the model regions. Electric mobility is the future topic no. 1, where virtually no one past comes. But the implementation requires necessary structural changes and this usually lack financial resources – particularly in the municipalities, which can include one of the model regions of in Germany and therefore not expect funding. The structure of mobility in the municipalities and regions must begin but now these to the regions not to lose the connection. The MobilitaetsAgentur has developed together with Kreutzer consulting and the MobilitatsMagazin solar-driver-Online.de approaches implemented in smaller communities or in rural areas as projects that finance themselves and come out without government support. The MA supports communities in their electric mobility strategy and accompanied the entire building process from the idea to its implementation.

The interplay of municipalities, public utilities, tourism operators and the local economy is through consulting, facilitation, and concept work promoted by the MA, directed and led to success for all involved. Here, the concept on the situation on the ground is adapted and prioritized implemented with local partners in craft, trade, industry, management and tourism. Last but not least also the citizens are integrated.
