The future according to Mercedes Benz

The prestigious German mark Mercedes Benz is employed in good rhythm at new models who assure a cleaner and economic mobility. The future of the motorcar seen by Mercedes tends to obtain more respectful vehicles with the environment and capable of limiting his pollutant emission to zero. In our blog of the engine we speak to you about the concept BlueZero of the signature of the star that is very next to the serial production.

The future models of Mercedes base his ecological mobility on a few new electrical engines. This new concept allows the construction of three different models with a common architecture and different systems of propulsion. These models will offer a sustainable mobility without neglecting other aspects so important as the safety or the habitability.

1. BlueZERO E-CELL; this model uses an electrical engine fed by battery with which it is capable of moving in way purely electrically during 200 kilometers with a maximum respect for the environment.
2. BlueZERO F-CELL; model equipped with several batteries of fuel which electrical autonomy can overcome 400 kilometers.
3. BlueZERO E-CELL BONUS; it combines the electrical propulsion by means of battery with an engine of additional combustion capable of generating electricity. Thanks to the set one can move approximately 600 kilometers without refueling and it is capable of moving in electrical way during 100 kilometers.

These three versions are based on a very singular architecture with a double apartment in sándwich, created to allow the integration of alternative systems of propulsion and introduced by the German mark in his class A now more than 10 years ago, a little later the class incorporated it B. The principal components of the team of propulsion are mounted below the soil of the cockpit, where, in addition to being protected, help to support the center of gravity of the lowest car and to make it stabler.

The safety of these new models is supported at the same level as that of any other component of the family Mercedes. Also, this structure allows to offer a vehicle with five squares without space restrictions. New ideal cars are Mercedes to move every day, with a useful load of up to 450 kilograms, a porter with more than 500 liters of capacity and always taking care of the environment.

In the conduction position there has been included a new frill of four radioes, which fits in height and depth. Also the new Cee'd of 2010 incorporate of series a computer multifunctionality, located in the low part of the dashboard.

As for the mechanics, the most important innovations are the disappearance of the version 2 liters diesel and 140 CV and the inclusion of the system Stop and Star automatic ISG for the versions 1.6 of gasoline and the diesel engines. With this new system, the 1.6 of gasoline reduces the urban consumption from 8 to 7,2 liters and his emission happens from 15 grams of CO2 per kilometer to 130. The versions CDRi are received by the last generation of the commonrail and a new gearbox of six relations, thanks to this set they manage to reduce in 8 % his emission level with regard to the previous scale of the Cee'd.

Subaru has presented recently in his fatherland a hybrid concept that marks the line to be continued for the future models of the Japanese mark. It comes to our blog of the engine Subaru Hybrid Tourer, a motorcar that supports the propellent type bóxer and the typical entire haulage of the Japanese mark but that proposes new solutions as a hybrid mechanics and a new system that will avoid frontal collisions.

His principal propellent is four 2 liters cylinders turboalimentado and equipped with direct injection to that two electrical engines of 14 and 27 join now CV. That of less potency complements that of gasoline and that of 27 CV will be the manager of giving more potency to the set and of moving the vehicle in way exclusively electrically during short displacements. The potency of the set is distributed by means of an automatic transmission called CVT Lineatronic.

Subaru Hybrid Tourer Concept is provided with a system of regeneration of energy in braking and the fantastic system proper AWD of haulage of the Japanese mark that will manage the functioning of the set of propellents.

Other one of the innovations which this Subaru concept has is the new system anti-collision EyeSIght Plus. Composed by two cameras with a scope of 100 meters, capable of detecting the obstacles with which it is possible to find the vehicle and which it will operate on diverse systems of the car to avoid the collision, also he will report from the event to other vehicles equipped with the same system so that they should avoid the conflict. The frontal moon has a solar filter, his dashboard is modulable and it is possible to form for areas to taste of the driver, and he has a set of seats upholstered in refreshed leather that help to reduce the corporal temperature.

Esthetically the vehicle differs in his straight lines without presenting a very risky design. Two big side doors are opened in vertical and in his cockpit of simple lines the technology abounds in the shape of informative screens that flood his included dashboard the frill.

New test EuroNCAP

The safety that offers us a vehicle has turned for some time into one of the key factors at the time of deciding on one or another model. The European Program of Evaluation of New Motorcars (euroNCAP) is the manager of analyzing and punctuating the above mentioned safety level.

The above mentioned program, which is endorsed by many governments and big manufacturers of European cars, has decided to increase the hardness in his studies and analysis to express a more realistic punctuation. In our blog dedicated to the engine we do to ourselves echo of the last models that have spent the test and of which it has been his punctuation.

Two models that worse have extracted note in the last study realized by the euroNCAP, before in 2010 the hardness of the tests increases even more, have been Chevrolet Spark and Toyota Urban Cruiser. The Spark has accused non-including the control of stability of series in any of his versions, what a final score of four stars has led him to obtaining. For his part, Toyota Urban Cruiser, has been the worst stopped one of all the models that have just spent these safety tests and it could not have overcome three evaluation stars. In spite of counting under control of series stability, this poor person result it owes to a casualty punctuation of only 58 % in the adults' protection paragraph.

The rest of models: BMW X1, Chevrolet Cruze, Citroen DS3, Infiniti FX, Mazda 3, Peugeot 5008, Mercedes GLK and Class And, Opel Astra and Volkswagen Scirocco, have reached without problems the maximum punctuation of five stars.

EuroNCAP has wanted to emphasize the excellent systems of speed control of the DS3, Infiniti FX, 5008 of Peugeot and GLK, since they are of series and allow to adapt of precise form the speed to the circulation environment. Another special mention the Astra, Scirocco and Chevrolet Cruze have taken for the aptitude of his seats and headrest to avoid the cervical injuries.

Can I circulate with a car without insurance?

No. With this monosyllable we would answer in an incisive and direct way, since the question does not admit place to doubts and is very clear what the answer is on this matter. Nevertheless, from this engine blog we tell you more details, with the Spanish legislation in the hand, so that before the question: can I circulate with a car without insurance?, have no doubts: one cannot.

The circulation regulation says it well highlight, and the answer to the question that we raise you: can I circulate with a car without insurance? - it does not admit any doubt: the Spanish legislation establishes the obligatory nature to have a car insurance. This is called, in a formal way Obligatory Insurance of Motorcars.

Specifically, the obligatory minimal coverage that must include a car insurance is the Obligatory Legal liability. To circulate without this employed minimal insurance supposes being sanctioned by fines that go from 601 euros up to 3.005 euros. Namely if you have a car and have no insurance, more it costs that you do not take it and do not circulate with him until you have not hired an insurance.

Another thing is that you have the insured car but you do not take above the receipt. It even does well small, this also was a fine motive, but now it is allowed not to take it in the car. Nevertheless, the advisable thing is to do it, since it is a question of a clause that is not well definite. In another occasion we will discuss this matter of taking physically the receipt of the insurance in the car, but it is not the case of this post.

Therefore, the recommendation that we do to you is that you hire your car insurance, choosing between the different options of insurance that exists. Although the car insurance is obligatory, not all the insurances have to be equal, because not all the cars neither nor all the drivers are the same.
