Global BMW Mini
Increasing awareness in the global community regarding global warming is already widespread. Different sectors of the community of nations are already taking measures to fight against new environmental destruction.
An aviation industry who made great leaps to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions released into the atmosphere is the motoring world. Different manufacturers automakers have developed plans of development which will produce vehicles totally independent of the use of fossil fuels.
Carmakers worldwide are also seeking ways to reduce emissions of conventional diesel or gasoline engines. A car manufacturer joining the fray of automakers going green is the Bavarian Motor Works commonly known as German based car manufacturer BMW.
Recently, BMW Chief Executive Officer Norbert Reithofer said the company focuses on producing a new range of fuel the engines of their vehicles. Reithofer said that the star of the lineup is a Mini with a rating of fuel economy of 53.4 miles per gallon. He said that the new generation of engines eco-friendly - is part of BMW's commitment to address the issue of global warming.
"The automotive industry is facing a fundamental paradigm shift, "says Reithofer. "It can not be ignored any longer that the global climate is changing." In Indeed, the climate around the world has radically changed for the worse, and every part of the global community must help to stop any further destruction of environment. Global warming must be stopped in its tracks as effectively as an EBC Redstuff brake component can effectively stop a car.
Reithofer announced that for their cars to be green, they need to work on parts of their vehicles. Some systems that they will work on brake energy regeneration, light construction, and the automatic start function.
Brake-energy recovery is an important technology because in this technology, the force generated during braking will not be wasted, but instead will be reused. As for the construction of light weight, the lighter the vehicle, less power, it should be conducted. And this is then translated into a lower fuel consumption. To stop automatic startup functions are in the stage development. This technology aims to reduce the amount of fuel consumed while idling. This technology is currently used by vehicles electric hybrids.
In addition to highlighting the various systems that the company will be actively looking in, Reithofer also indicated that his company believes the future of technology, clean fuel is hydrogen. Hydrogen is used as fuel for vehicles reduces the amount of emissions to zero.
While technology holds great promise in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, there are still many aspects of using hydrogen as fuel which needs more research. On the one hand, the construction of piers Fuel is expensive and fuel cells currently used are fragile. The automotive industry and its partners need to work on design a fuel cell that will be robust and cost much less.
