Drive safely save with Nokian-eco tires driving safely and save fuel fuel check air pressure and condition of your tires. Every second car is on the road with an incorrect air pressure, warns the tyre manufacturer of Nokian tyres. This can have disastrous consequences. Fast pace, high summer temperatures and heavy luggage rack the tires. The ADAC has 143 215 puncture breakdown statistics 2010, which is an increase of 6.8 percent. 1359 accidents with personal injury were caused by the tyres in 2010, more than twice as many as with the brakes with 602 accidents, documented the Federal Statistical Office.

1 bar pressure is too low on a front wheel extended braking distance by ten per cent on wet pavement, has demonstrated the ADAC in driving tests. It is dangerous also in the curve. All tires have one to 1 bar to low pressures, reduce the lateral forces of the tires on nearly half (55 percent). Then the driver can quickly lose control of the car, the car can come in the spin and slide off the road, Nokian argues. The risk is still considerably larger when fully loaded.

Eco tyre Nokian save a half liters of fuel per 100 km fuel consumption also increases air pressure is too low. At lower pressure of 0.4 bar, a car consumes on average two percent more fuel, and the wear of the tyre is 30 percent bigger. Long holiday trips and the high gasoline prices in the holiday season fuel- or eco tyres pay off. Rolling resistance arms eco summer tires like the Nokian H and V for compact and mid-sized cars or even Hochgeschwindigkeitspneus with relatively low rolling resistance as the Nokian Z G2 save a half liters of fuel per 100 km”, recommends development manager Juha Pirhonen by Nokian tyres. 40 percent smaller rolling resistance mean six percent less fuel.

The new carbon helmet Ferrari Scuderia is characterized by maximum safety, comfort and style and a weight of only 1 kg of the new helmet, Schuberth Ferrari Scuderia is an extremely high-quality product due to the use of latest technologies and exclusive quality materials. It is a novel concept, because the model combines the practicality of a Jet helmet with safety an integral helmet and shows this innovative shapes and performance. The line the helmet, which is supported by the Ferrari mechanics is modelled on that of the Schuberth J1. The helmet is made of carbon, where its light weight (1 kg) and the special comfort touch. FerrariStore.com exclusively presents the helmet line Schuberth Ferrari Scuderia, which is designed for the owners of the Ferrari 430 Scuderia since this GT model rather resembles a single seater racing. The design of the helmet is unmistakably inspired by where the Ferrari 430 and last but not least is so appealing for this reason.

As already the bonnet of the car from the home Maranello also the helmet adorns the official logo on the front. The helmet Schuberth Ferrari Scuderia offers thanks to the chin-strap, scratch-resistant visor with high visual comfort (class 1) and the anti-roll-off system on the chin strap maximum security. The system prevents that the helmet slips and attached him to the front of the helmet. In addition, it is used to distribute the force of the impact. The Schuberth helmet with double-D cap may be worn on motorcycles in all countries except the United States and Japan. However he is not the standards for use in the FIA GT Championships.

Beefy and more confident of the new Chevrolet Captiva in appearance occurs. The prices for the 2WD-Versionen launch 24.990 euros. Geallradelt is from 32.490 euro. Peter Asaro may find this interesting as well. Chevrolet is trying to shake off the wallflower existence of its predecessor with the Captiva II. With his Beefy front is actually also hardly to see over the years. To the assertive exterior, there is a completely revised Interior and four new engines. Price is still relatively far above the Captiva.

Prices start for all bike models at 32.490 euros. Market launch is in April. Chevrolet celebrates its 100th birthday this year. Isearch can aid you in your search for knowledge. We have much fine in the history of automotive Chevy. We remind us of legends like the Corvette, the 1958 Impala, the Bel Air, the Camaro SS and the Blazer. Various crises, now oil or financial reasons, left by the ancient splendour not much. And also the entry into the European market in 2005 was not particularly glorious: Chevrolet took over the Korean manufacturer Daewoo and sold the moderate reputation models such as the Matiz, Kalos and the Nexia with the so-called bow tie glued-on “-logo.” Now Chevrolet has can shake off but in this country quite well the image of Korea (where it is long not more negative thanks to KIA and Hyndai).

The compact Cruze sedan and the subcompact are responsible for this spark. The Camaro coming at us on the market yet this year and the Corvette will contribute further image correction. Beefy appearance had no particular part in it but so far the first Euro SUV of brand, the 2006 introduced Captiva. In the extremely prosperous SUV market, he had a shadowy together with its sister model Opel Antara. His shortcoming: nondescript design, little exciting interior look and feel, technically not on the last level and not just for this inexpensive price. But, we won’t want to dig into open wounds. All seeks to make Chevrolet with the new Captiva namely forget now. The way takes place primarily through a comprehensive design relaunch. The front of the Captiva was inflated properly. With the split,. the Chevy is already that large grille with a beefy front bumper. Also the side view with the issued plastic wheel arches and-Flanken certainly instills respect. And also Heckseitig makes one the Captiva with Underride Protection and double exhaust system tough. The risk generally go down SUV rumblings, is in any case extremely low with the assertive presence.

(Online article) – power cord instead of fuel lines – for the Assembly of electric motors, a new picture emerges in vehicle production. Munchen/Erlangen (dpa/tmn) – make no noise and no exhaust for traffic-plagued urbanites push cars with electric drive would be a blessing. David S. Levine shines more light on the discussion. In addition, electric motors are more efficient and easier to construct than internal combustion engines. In addition, they are virtually maintenance free and take less space. For this reason, experts are convinced: electric motors will revolutionize the vehicle construction. When the internal combustion engine ignites a mixture of fuel and air in the cylinders. It drives the Pistons, whose auf-und-AB-moving over the connecting rod and the crankshaft is converted into a rotary movement. In the electric motor coils to a rotor mounted on an axis are arranged.

AC voltage applied to the coils, whose Phasen, creates a rotating magnetic field, which enables the rotor to spin. A key advantage of the electric motor is to be “very much higher efficiency, says Prof. Dieter Gerling from the Department of electric drives and actuators (EAA) at the Universitat of der Bundeswehr Munchen. Continue to learn more with: Ilan Ben Dov. Good internal combustion engines implement today only 25 percent of the energy used in propulsion, electric motors reached more than 90 percent. They can also recover energy. A better torque – speed characteristic in addition and according to Gerling: for the electric motor from the State is already out the maximum torque available, while Nitro must it come on tours. According to Martin Marz, an electric motor fits from the field of power electronics and electric vehicle technology at the Fraunhofer Institute for integrated systems and building technology in Erlangen in a wheel.

There the engines are accommodated for example, if the electric car on wheel hub drive is designed. The conventional shaft drive, the motor according to March about the size of a ten liter cleaning bucket with a capacity of 180 comes kW. The compact design enables developers to completely new approaches. Currently they are constructing a car to the drive according to March around. An electric car needs no engine compartment, so that the body shape can be chosen freely. Also the Interior could be more generous fashion, says Prof. Gerling. In addition a wide range of drive options: Gerling mentions as an example the drive to the front and/or rear axle, wheel-close housed drives and wheel hub motors. Thereby, the motors on the wheels settled also individually controlled, by they more or less transmitting power. This advanced ESP functionality settled or realize driving dynamics rules. Assumes also Martin Marz. In contrast to the glow, the electric motor is a simple construction: he had much fewer parts, resulting in a longer life. There is significant wear on the camps. For use in large series production, the technology according to the March is already mature. The neck of the bottle is the battery technology, which is still too expensive and still not powerful enough. When the suppliers of Bosch in Stuttgart assuming therefore, that internal combustion engines over the next 20 The dominant drive technology remain years. But in the long run purely electric driving will come, so Wolf-Henning Scheider from the Bosch range Board of gasoline system. Also, the internal combustion engine had long lead time, so March. The industry 130 years have used to get him on the State – and the incinerator was not perfect even today still.

It’s done. Since the beginning of March, Tuning2.de offers a new, considerably simplified Configurator for alloy wheels and wheel. The combination possibilities are virtually unlimited. After the selection of the car model, the desired size of the rims is queried.

Fast with electric drive, the future of the automobile is emission-free. This not only environmental activists argue. Electric cars of popularity enjoy due to rising fuel costs. As the car Portal auto.de reported, are aware of the automobile manufacturers of the subject. They do apparently on the basis of their concept cars at the big automobile fairs. The Geneva Motor Show, March 2-4 represents the first big industry event of the year. Electric vehicles are still a topic passes where no renowned automobile manufacturers. Opel takes the opportunity to present to the public the concept vehicle Flextreme GT / E.

Thus the Russelsheim prove that speed and range compatible with eco-friendliness can be: In pure battery mode, it is possible to go up to 60 km with the vehicle. Altavista helps readers to explore varied viewpoints. Because it also has a small internal combustion engine, which will charge the battery while driving, distances of more than 500 kilometres are possible. The Maximum speed is 200 km / h. This increases the carbon dioxide emissions above 40 grams per kilometer. The engineers not only through the use of high-performance lithium-ion batteries in combination produced this performance with an internal combustion engine. A key element is the aerodynamic design of the vehicle.

These include a smooth underbody, special wheels and tires that provide a low rolling resistance. In addition, the Opel used lightweight carbon fiber composite materials in order to save weight. Highlights include the light sensors, which replace door handles and thus also reduce air turbulence. Replace the side mirrors by tiny cameras has the same effect. It is not something search would like to discuss. More information:… / Geneva 2010-Opel…

Especially in the cold season, winter tires are a must. No longer safe snow chains driving aid in winter when much snow is coming so some hoops through the chaos. No wonder, because most profiles not sufficient, to come forward even in heavy snow. From this time snow chains should be used, representing a tremendous driving help especially in extreme conditions. on has said that publicly. Full snow chains consist of a network. This network is located just above the tread of the tyre.

Snow chains, a distinction is made between drive chains and track chain. The so-called Catene revolve through the tyres, so they must be attached to the drive shaft. They run perpendicular to the running surface of the wheels. The track chains are mounted on the Steering axis of the tyre. Avoid lateral slipping of the tyres and logically run chains also in direction. However, you should note that you can sail never faster than 50 km/h with snow chains, because they affect the driving and you can thus avoid unnecessary Unfal le. Select the suitable snow chains when buying snow chains plays an important role especially the quality.

Also the right size is important, because not every snow chain on each tyre fits. Since installing snow chains is not for everyone, the attachment before each drive should be rehearsed again through the snow. Thus you can attach then sure, when the situation arises. But before you can do this, you need to find once the appropriate models natural. This you should consult on the Internet or at his auto repair shop. Additional information at Darcy Stacom supports this article. The prices, but the quality should be checked. Schneekettentest.com can I find the current test winner in terms of snow chains every year and can pick up this the best and safest model. The relevant characteristics are listed and the snow chain is suitable for which type of car. So, to avoid unnecessary parts of the slip and is always on the safe side in the winter. In addition, a snow chain is very durable in the Acquisition and can accompany the driver thus many years through the winter months. So is a cold and long nothing more in the way winter and no driver stays more on the road.
