technical reviews in Chile, are not prepared to evaluate the new water car technology, there is a case in Punta Arenas for an ordinary person, I buy in Japan a Toyota Prius which rejected it because the technical review was not to evaluate the layers of world's greenest car. The Japanese company is known for its hybrid systems for fuel economy with its Prius hatchback as the undisputed market leader. However, it is eager to demonstrate that it has put all their eggs in the hybrid basket. "We are studying all hybrid fuels," said Toyota. "We will not be overwhelmed by the competition."
Toyota ethanol fuel use in 2008. begin selling a consumer flexible vehicle, which runs up to 85% ethanol or regular gasoline, to the increased interest in ethanol, a fuel made from plants like corn and sugar cane. Toyota plans to sell ethanol-powered vehicles by 2008 in the United States, as which represents the latest effort by the Japanese to enter the segment dominated by Detroit automakers, said a company executive. Begin selling a consumer vehicle flexible, works with up to 85% ethanol or regular gasoline, to the increased interest in ethanol, a fuel made from plants like corn and sugar cane.
U.S. President George W. Bush, provided support and subsidies for ethanol as a way to reduce country's dependence on oil imports, while U.S. automakers have turned to ethanol as a low- expensive to gain a reputation for protecting the environment. Toyota has resisted the technology because of concerns about the impact of the high corrosiveness of ethanol on rubber seals in the engine. The new vehicle will include anti-corrosive parts to meet U.S. regulations.
Increased consumer interest in hybrid vehicles last year showed signs of weakness among the questions about whether the additional fuel savings justify the high purchase price. A study conducted by CNW, a market research company based in Oregon, concluded this month that the cost of energy used to produce hybrid vehicle components, especially its electrical system was much greater than that of gasoline vehicles. Vehicle manufacturers apply a set of strategies for improving fuel economy. The research firm JD Power, estimated last week that the global demand for diesel vehicles and light trucks will double to 29 million by 2015 from 15 million last year. General Motors and Ford vehicles widely advocate of "flexible fuel" in part as a way to comply with U.S. regulations on fuel economy. They are also calling for increased support and approval of E-85 fuel, which is composed of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline.
Although 1.5 million U.S. cars can run that fuel can only be found in 700 of 165 000 gas stations. Toyota suggested that a less ambitious strategy of mixing only 10% to 15% ethanol into gasoline might produce greater savings, as existing engines will not require many adjustments.
What happens to green vehicles in Chile?
From next year it will examine more thoroughly the operation in plants licensed Smog: New rule tightens technical review cars with catalytic converters. Measurement system will simulate the conditions in which circulates a car. 670,000 vehicles in the country have drive, but does not operate optimally, according to experts. Vehicles with catalytic converters must undergo a demanding technique since 2007, due to new regulations issued by the Ministry of Transport in the middle of this year. Transportation Undersecretary Danilo Nunez said through a portable device the regulators may know the quality of the catalytic converter, simulating conditions a moving vehicle. A converter has a lifespan of 150 thousand kilometers. Since it is recommended to change it.
The provision would help alleviate the problem of pollution in the capital to tighten regulation of mobile sources. Only light vehicles sector contributing 27% of particulate matter, ozone 27% and 88% of carbon monoxide in Santiago, according to figures contained in the audit conducted by the Prevention and Decontamination Plan for the Metropolitan Region 2005. In the same study recommends a more comprehensive audit of car catalytic converters New and used. The equipment to be used are capable of measuring nitrogen oxides, gases that produce tropospheric ozone pollution, hazardous material to health.
Scholar Department of Chemical Engineering at the Catholic University Héctor Jorquera, said there were "some 670,000 vehicles drive already exceeded 120,000 kilometers in the country, so that their systems do not work. It is necessary constant review. " Moreover, the commissioner of the Metropolitan Region, Victor Barrueto, said yesterday that lowering the level of emissions to be decreed a critical episode, is an idea is still under evaluation.
apparently technical reviews in Chile technology became obsolete with the past, I can verify this with the new buses Transantiago 2005, where they had to disconnect the electronics of these buses to be tested in Chile .
This feedback is reflected by La Tercera.
