This is Part 2 of a two-part series. In Part 1 we look at the history of First Automobile Works (FAW) and its collaboration with Toyota. In this Part article, we will discuss FAW’s recent progress in bringing hybrid nozzles to market.

China FAW Group Corporation is currently considered the number one automobile manufacturer in China, and is also one of the oldest in the industry, dating back to 1953. FAW Group, or more commonly known simply as FAW, has a broad product base , from passenger cars, mini (utility) vehicles, sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and vans, to commercial trucks, buses and coaches.

Hybrid coach CA6100SH8

Since the early 1990s, many global bus chassis manufacturers have followed FAW’s lead by investing heavily in research and development of a commercially viable hybrid drive bus platform. With a strong code of environmental responsibility, FAW prioritized the development of new cutting-edge hybrid bus chassis in early 2002 that could reduce vehicle emissions and increase fuel economy.

Foreseeing the potential of new FAW technology, the project received full support from China’s central government, which has taken an aggressive stance within the current 5-year national development plan to reduce both emissions and fuel consumption worldwide. country. Through the joint efforts of the FAW Group Research and Development Center and FAW Bus & Coach Company, the Wuxi Division of FAW Bus & Coach completed two hybrid bus prototypes on December 10, 2005.

The factory is now ready to start mass production of the new hybrid municipal transit bus CA6100SH8, designed for today’s increasingly popular BRT (bus rapid transit) systems and traditional downtown public transport. This revolutionary new model with 10 patents patented offers a 38% increase in fuel economy and a 30% reduction in emissions, compared to traditional buses. With a Euro 3 emissions rating, the new 80kW parallel hybrid powertrain is scheduled to achieve Euro 4 certification by the end of 2006.

At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, twenty of these CA6100SH8 hybrid buses, called hybrid “city buses”, successfully completed field tests on actual passenger routes within the Olympic sector. The “City Bus” hybrid buses employed Enova System_s pre-transmission hybrid powertrains and “exceeded all expectations,” according to Liu Minghue, executive director of engineering for FAW’s hybrid-electric transit bus trial.

Jiefang CA6120URH Hybrid Bus

This month, Enova confirmed that it has delivered the first seventy (70) pre-transmission hybrid powertrains to First Auto Works. FAW has ordered an additional one hundred and fifty (150) hybrid powertrains for delivery in 2009. The Enova powertrain will be integrated and branded on FAW buses under the hybrid name Jiefang CA6120URH. Jiefang’s 12-meter (40-foot) low-floor hybrid bus can carry 103 passengers and travel at a maximum speed of 85 kilometers per hour (km/h) or 53 miles per hour (mph). The bus meets Euro III emission standards. It will consume just 30 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (equivalent to 7.84 miles per gallon) and discharge 20 percent fewer emissions.

According to a report by busesline.com, the Dalian municipal government has ordered 150 of the Jiefang hybrid buses. Fifty of them will be operating in the city during the Davos summer event, which is the Annual Meeting of New Champions 2009, held by the World Economic Forum from September 10 to 12, 2009. In October, another 100 Jiefang hybrid buses will enter in use in the city of Changchun, capital of northeast China’s Jilin Province.

Inauguration of the new hybrid bus plant in Dalian

To keep up with China’s central government’s goal of 500,000 electric and hybrid vehicles in the coming years, FAW Group Corporation held a ground-breaking ceremony for its new energy bus plant in the Dalian Economic and Technological Development Zone. on June 5. Attendees at the ceremony included officials from Dalian City, Chairman Xu Jianyi of FAW Group, and Vice Chairman Qin Huanming of FAW Group.

The construction of the new production base of the new energy vehicle is one of the important parts of the development plan of FAW Group. The construction of the new plant is scheduled to be completed in July 2010. The annual production capacity of the plant is expected to reach 3,000 units, including 1,500 hybrid buses, before the year 2013.

Asia is the largest continent in the world. Due to its large size and extensive area covering from north to south and from east to west, there is a great variety of climates. The climates of Asia can be broadly divided into the following types:

The Equatorial Climate

This climate is found in areas located very close to the equator. The climate is hot and humid all year round with excessive rainfall. There is no dry season and precipitation is distributed equally in all months of the year. This type of climate is also known as the three-eighties climate, i.e. 80 F (27 C) year-round temperature, 80 inches (2000 mm) or more total annual precipitation, and 80% relative humidity throughout the year. This type of climate is found in Indonesia and Malaysia.

monsoon climates

This type has a definite dry season and a definite wet season. The cooler season is dry, while the hot season is very humid. The best example is the monsoon of the Indian subcontinent. Mumbai, for example, records more than 2,000 mm (80 inches) of rain in a year, but the months of December to February are absolutely dry. During the summer season, hot and humid winds blow from the Indian Ocean towards India and bring heavy rain. In the cooler months, the wind direction is from land to sea, so the winds are drier and bring little or no rain. China also experiences this type of weather, but the temperatures are cooler than the Indian monsoon, so it is called the China type of monsoon.

desert climates

These types of climates are found in Central Asia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, northwestern India, and southeastern Pakistan. Although Central Asian deserts such as the Gobi and Taklamakan are outside the tropics, the excessive heat they face in summer makes them similar to deserts in lower latitudes. All deserts have the same characteristic features: very little rainfall and extreme temperatures. Precipitation is generally less than 10 inches (250 mm). The difference between the hottest month and the coldest is great. At Luktchun 43 N 90 E in Central Asia, the average temperature of the warmest month is 90 F (32.2 C), which is fairly consistent with tropical deserts, but the coldest month registers 13 F (-10.6 C). C), which is unthinkable in the hottest deserts located in Arabia. etc.

Mid-latitude grassland climates

This type of climate is found in western Central Asia, where Asia meets Europe in the Ural Mountains and on the outskirts of Mongolia. The summers are hot, the winters cold with moderate rainfall that falls mainly in the summer months. Summer temperatures generally do not exceed 75 F (23 C), but winters are quite cold with two to three months below 32 F (0 C).

cold temperate climate

This type of climate is found in higher latitudes, typically above 50 degrees north, and has moderate to cool summers and very cold winters. Since this area is very far from the nearby sea, it has extreme temperatures. The weather is so extreme that these types of extremes are not found anywhere else in the world. A typical example of this type of climate is Verkoyansk in Siberia, which is located at 68 degrees North and 133 East. The temperature for the month of July in this season is 60 F (16 C), while the temperature for January is -58 F (-50 C), a range of 118 F! Precipitation is moderate at 14.7 inches (373 mm) and occurs primarily in the form of snow.

arctic or tundra climate

This type of climate occurs in the extreme north of the continent near the North Pole. The weather is extremely cold year-round with no month exceeding 43 F (6 C), so no planting or vegetation can survive. Only Eskimos who have adapted to this kind of harsh climate can survive in this climate zone. They have a special kind of houses made of snow called igloos locally to keep them warm.

Mediterranean climate

This type of climate with hot, dry summers and cold, wet winters occurs in Turkey, Syria, and along the coastal areas of Israel and Lebanon. Istanbul in Turkey is the best example. The warmest month registers 74 F (23 C), the coldest 43 (6 C). Total annual precipitation is 29 inches (736 mm), of which 20 inches occurs from November to March, and the summers are very dry.

This in summary is a brief detail of the different climatic zones found in the Asian continent.

Well, before I retired, I was in the franchise business, in the automotive service industry. One thing he had noticed over the years was that the economy was doing well or badly. That is, there was a period of expansion or a period of contraction, growth or recession. One thing I can remember is that many of our franchisees complained when the economy was bad that it was hard for them to make money. Actually, by simply adjusting your menu and the types of services you offer, it’s quite easy to switch to a high-volume, low-cost business model and actually make more money during a recession. Okay, so let’s talk, okay?

In fact, I realize that is a very bold statement, but I can tell you from real life experience and observations that it is true. Too often, the wealthier crowd gives up wanting to pay the $150 car specs, and the middle class finds other options, maybe even making their own car from time to time. One thing I can say that never gets old is the five dollar outside car wash. You could say it’s crazy, washing a car for only five dollars. However, during a recession, there will be plenty of business at that price. Better yet, it’s not too difficult to drive 100+ cars a day in office building parking lots.

Why do I mention this now you ask? Well, our economic growth has only been about 1.7% in 2012, and I imagine that in 2013 we will go back into recession and have a negative growth rate. This means that there will be fewer people with jobs and less money floating around in the economy. It also means that many of your competitors will go out of business, and who knows, if you don’t follow my advice here, you might as well. Of course, that leaves more business for those who are still in business because they weren’t too proud to try something new.

You don’t have to ruin your prestige or your car detailing brand. You can simply call the new service line you have; mobile car wash The rest of the time you can do auto detailing at the highest price. In this way, it now offers two types of services, although the car detailing business will be much smaller than during good economic times.

I think what you’ll also discover is that by having hundreds and hundreds of mobile car wash customers with significant volume, through those economies of scale you’ll find more people willing to get a detail than ever before. Yes, you may have to cut the price of all your details too, but you should be able to stay in business during the recession without a problem. Please consider all this and think about it.

NordicTrack is a popular brand of exercise bikes. They are popular because they come with one of the best consoles on any bike, certainly for a sub-$1,000 machine. But are they a good machine overall, what kind of user do they attract and what kind of rating do customers give NordicTrack exercise bikes? The answers you get will depend on the machine model.

Most people can’t afford or justify paying over a thousand dollars for a LifeCycle or Schwinn exercise bike. The biggest market for this type of fitness equipment is around the $500 mark and this is the niche that NordicTrack exercise bikes fall into.

The most popular model is the AudioRider U300 bike; it’s also the cheapest, retailing for around $400. It’s a vertical model, and for its price, you get a lot of features. As expected, it has magnetic resistance and runs smoothly and quietly. The console is really the great point in favor of this machine. It’s big, well-designed, and easy to use; someone has described it as the dashboard of your car, which is a very good analogy. It shows the usual feedback data for time, speed, distance, resistance, pulse, RPM, carbs burned and calories burned. The handlebars have grip sensors to monitor heart rate and the seat is very well padded. Another great feature is the AutoBreeze training fan, which automatically adjusts the airflow to match your speed.

Coming to the most important features, you get 20 built-in workouts; 18 personal trainer workouts and 2 heart rate workouts. Personal Trainer workouts will automatically adjust both pace and resistance during your workout to maintain the best settings optimized for aerobic, weight loss, or performance goals.

Many, especially newbies, need motivation. It is now quite common for all types of exercise equipment to be equipped with iFIT card technology. Each card is designed by a certified personal trainer and plugs directly into the bike’s console. During training, the coach’s voice can be heard through the charging speaker, helping you achieve your specific goals. You can also download iFIT programs from the Internet.

The bike also comes with the Interactive Audio CrossTrainer, which is an interactive fitness trainer that verbally and visually prompts you to perform a variety of calorie-burning and strength-training exercises.

The AudioRider U300 is a great piece of equipment, however, it has really been designed for the occasional or entry level user. Those serious about bike training may find this machine lacking in teeth. For example, the position of the seat and handlebars results in a sit-and-beg position. For a more demanding workout, many prefer a more trapezoidal position with the hips up and the shoulders down.

The AudioRider U400 is the same as the U300 except it is a recumbent exercise bike. The features and training programs are practically the same. It costs an additional $100. These bikes in which the user is in a recumbent position are gaining more and more popularity as they are more comfortable for those who have back problems or are overweight.

Lastly, there is the NordicTrack SL710 recumbent exercise bike. It sells for a little less than the U400. Personally, you’re better off spending more and getting the U400. You only get 8 instead of 10 programs and the user weight capacity is reduced from 300lbs to 250lbs. The biggest stated benefit of this bike is the Step-In design – this is where the center of the bike has been designed to be as close to the ground as possible, making it easy to get on and off the bike. The only reason to buy this model would be because you find it difficult to get on and off a more conventional recumbent.

In conclusion, NordicTrack bikes are excellent value for money. If this is your first time using it or you need something with a lot of motivating features, then you should take a close look at these machines. However, if you’re a seasoned pro, you should look for something a bit more substantial, like a Schwinn exercise bike.

More and more different car models are being used to build a limousine. In different countries you can find their locally built cars. Some of these vehicles look exotic and all of them are stretched. Yes, they are really stretched (at least more than double). Not all turns on all roads can overcome this car at first.

So, you probably already have questions. So we have the answers. How are the passengers feeling? What does the driver feel when he drives in this car? What do the owners of these vehicles feel?

We just found out about this. And I couldn’t hide this from you. Bucket of black caviar, gold toilet, a suitcase of dollars. The dimensionless limousines in the Association will be seen in a series of rare harmonies. “Honey, I’ll send a limo for you” doesn’t that sound great?

However, a limousine can boast of its own very few people. It is not even a high price and utility of these vehicles. What vehicle can be called a limousine? The extended sedan – the limousine, the car with a partition between the driver and passengers again the limousine.

Even the ordinary six-window sedan, sometimes also called a limousine! In fact, according to the generally accepted classification, the limousine should be understood as a passenger car with four or six doors with a bulkhead in the front row of seats.

Well, it turns out that the Chevrolet Suburban, shown in our photos in various poses, is not a limousine? Formally No. However, any passerby who has seen this car on the street will comment on the “limousine”! So the game becomes a concept, above a word “stretch”. Make any car “stretch”, and you get the “limousine” of the people.

The most expensive limousines are usually made by the high-class European car manufacturers themselves. A typical example: Mercedes-Benz S600 Pullman. Such vehicles do not affect the appearance of the imagination, but are quite capable of stunning with the price. And in the armored version the price just killed: half a million dollars is not the limit. By the way, these cars give a ride to the presidents of many countries. Other types of limousines often used as a taxi or for corporate purposes are not based on the more expensive cars and can have up to six doors. It’s easy to come across these cars on the street today. In Seattle, such cars sometimes happen – these can be a Chrysler, Lincoln or a Mercedes-Benz.

And more… Stretch, super stretch, ultra stretch, ultra super stretch: the creators of these inexhaustible fantasy vehicles. Sometimes it seems that the limousine is not to perform any task, but only as a means of expression. 10 seats, 20 seats, 30 seats, TV, DVD players, bar, restaurant, swimming pool, a helipad, a golf course, Aquarium of the current model of the full-size aircraft carrier. Even if you don’t think about what it would be like to have such a desire, in the limo it will be.

Of course, five-axle stretch with a pool instead of luggage, that’s very exotic, a company demo, a kind of limousine concept. But the fifty-plus-foot-long four-wheel-drive SUV, capable of holding a football team, along with spare bench players, is what the real thing looks like. Anyone can touch this limo! And if you want or need to, you can become king for a day: starting at $300 an hour and sometimes even cheaper.

The most classic limousine, usually based on the Lincoln Town Car. The main point here – the presence of the frame: creating a stretch of the car with the supporting body – much more cumbersome and expensive task. And it’s simple: the body of serial machines is cut exactly in half, and between the front and rear doors they need to insert the box with windows – the so-called insert. The insertion length and defines a class of limousine. City cars, as a rule, stretch to 60-120 inches. (1524-3048 mm) and can grow to 200 inches, while at other times they are longer.

Only in the United States the production of limousines has perplexed fifty firms. Of those that are well known: Tiffany Coachworks, Dream Coachworks, Crystal Enterprises and others. Together, they create wonderful things. For example, in the model number of a six-axle Lincoln Navigator Dream, Crystal could represent such a wonderful creature, a Hummer H2 with eight doors!

In principle, with some standard fillers, which American cars have, it is enough to stretch: the engine and transmission remain intact. But the suspension and brake systems can be improved; anyway, the total weight of the car becomes much heavier. Again, it is necessary to refine the exhaust system, making it fit the new length of the vehicle.

The limousine is considered complete by carrying out even some paperwork. Did you guess? Right – in the list of electrical equipment there is an additional generator and battery, a heating and air conditioning equipment is more productive, as required by a huge passenger compartment.

The interior space and decoration – this is what limousines were built on. Everything – for the good of man! And no one, but for the entire company! Our GMC is designed for 14 people, in full possession of which mirrored bar with lighting. At the bar, with crystal decanters, wine glasses for the champagne bucket. Immediately – aquarium with artificial fish: bubbles of water and changing colors, rolling animals and things that please the eye.

Stars shine on the mirror ceiling: multicolored LEDs represent the romantic sky. In the case of the enclosures, located at the ends of the cabin, LCD televisions will be mounted, and two displays located on the side grilles. The signal for them is a DVD or VCR player; these devices are located on the floor under the seats. Above the most VIP seats, there is the control panel for all the devices and, next to it, the remote control: the main unit of the hi-fi audio system with two 12-inch subwoofers.

You can throw a party right in the car, highlighting intimate semidarkness stroboscope flashes and filling the cabin space with artificial smoke and laser beams. And you can turn off all of the above at once, or ask for the driver – the same panel is in the cabin. In the same cabin, however, there are some things. For example, a walkie-talkie to communicate with the driver, or the police and many other devices that are essential for the driver.

Is it difficult to drive a limo? In the words of the limousine driver, you can get used to everything. Of course, for limousines there are many restrictions. Thus, for example, intersections prior to Route: Limousine Section cannot make a sharp turn the first time. While we can usually drive all over the city, in some places it’s not without its problems. Surprisingly, the degrees of rotation – not the most important feature of the street.

The important thing is how wide the street is! However, for the professional there is little or no problem with the maneuver. Can you see how skillfully the drivers drive on a huge track? through the mirror In this sense, driving a limousine, even easier: there is no desire at all.

Do Limousine Drivers Violate Traffic Rules? Only when this is due to an extreme industrial need. Most common violation: It is okay to pull out into oncoming traffic or turn in the wrong place. The State Patrol, enchanted by the grandeur of the section and the extremely professionalism of its driver, indulgently refers to some infractions.

All in all. Everyone respects the limo. In an attempt to turn in crowded traffic conditions (for a car over a hundred feet long, almost every turn in the city is fraught with well-known complications), the limousine may block the street and generate heavy traffic, but few drivers will. start convulsively honking at a slow giant. Who knows who or what might be inside this car. They can be people going to a wedding. There is no reason to spoil your good mood.

But speed is respected everywhere. Even in a hurry, the company prohibits a driver from speeding more than 60 mph.

Actually, there is no particular problem with operating a limousine in the city. But there are interesting features. Take, for example, maintenance and repair. Almost all major limousine companies have specially trained people who check the technical condition of the limousine.

They also do some repairs. However, it is certainly not omnipotence: does a modern car require professional service? Can you imagine how to lift a limousine? No, because there are no elevators, which could be placed 200 inches from the limo. In general, the problem is, but it can be solved. Only experts need.

Metal carport kits are the cheapest and easiest way to build a new carport. Kits come with full, detailed instructions and most can be built in a day or two using only the most basic household tools. These prefab carport kits are usually made from steel or aluminum and come with everything you’ll need to complete the building process.

In general, there are 2 basic types of metal carports. There are freestanding carports and carports that connect to your home or other structure. Within these 2 general categories of carports there are some subcategories that pertain to the type of roof. Carports that are detached carports tend to have sheds or gabled roofs. Carports that are attached to the house tend to be flat or single-sloped roof carports or sloped to carports. All types of carports serve specific purposes and none are better than the others.

Metal carport kits aren’t just used to protect cars these days. People are using carports for all kinds of purposes. These days, many metal sloping carports are used as awnings to cover front porches and side yards. It is only upon closer inspection that you even realize that these structures are actually carports. Metal carports attached to the house also provide great covered play areas for the kids. With the addition of a small fence, these carports provide the perfect sheltered outdoor play area for children.

Freestanding metal carports can be used as a gazebo or picnic area in your backyard or country house. If a double canopy is used, up to 4 picnic tables can fit under the roof. As an alternative, a few picnic tables plus a barbecue area would fit comfortably under a double canopy. The addition of a simple net or screen can keep mosquitoes away. With proper protection from the elements, outdoor gatherings can be held in any type of weather or condition.

Of course, it goes without saying that carports of all types and sizes can also be used to protect vehicles from the elements. Metal carport kits typically come in one or two car designs. There are also metal RV carports that are generally longer and taller than the average carport.

Good quality metal carports can last a lifetime and can really increase the value of your home. These carports can serve multiple functions and consequently can also really enhance the enjoyment you get from your home or the functionality of your home. Keep an open mind about the different ways a metal carport kit could benefit your family.

No matter where you’re moving, it’s always a big chore involving tons of packing at one end, unpacking at the other, planning, and traveling in between. To deal with all the hassles involved, it helps to have competent movers who will provide you with excellent service as they help you get situated. However, when it comes to moving, there are often big differences between local movers and long-distance movers.

When you move locally, you can usually get away with a company that isn’t as thoroughly vetted, since you’re just moving your stuff around town. But when you’re moving your prized belongings out of town or out of state, you need to be absolutely certain that you’re dealing with professionals who will treat your belongings as if they were their own.

How to find quality long distance moving companies

When searching for the best moving company to handle your long-distance move, there are a number of things to consider. Here are some of the factors to consider when choosing the right long distance moving companies:

1. What services do you provide?

Moving companies tend to vary widely in the types of services they offer to customers who need a long-distance move. Those who move out of town often have a lot more stress from all the other things to worry about; such as locating in an unknown city, settling in a new job, traveling to the new city with the family and many others. For this reason, it’s best to choose a moving company that can literally provide an end-to-end service if needed. This means they can show up at your door, carefully pack everything into the right sized boxes using the best wrap for each item, load it all onto your truck, unload everything into your new home, unpack all your items, and place them exactly where you want them. And by the way, if you need to store your stuff somewhere for a month or two, they should be able to accommodate this need as well. A moving company that can perform all of these tasks will be on your shortlist.

2. Can you do a long-distance move on short notice?

This doesn’t apply to everyone, but many people have long-distance moves that come up at the last minute. For example, some people have family emergencies, such as needing to care for elderly parents with health problems, and have a sudden need to be in another city. Others work for large companies with multiple offices. These companies often move people to different offices as if they were shuffling cards. So when a last-minute move comes up, you need to make sure that the company you choose has the ability to execute the move smoothly and efficiently, even if you’re working on a short period of time.

3. Do you offer competitive prices?

Pricing is usually a problem for people, unless someone else, like your company, pays the bill J But for most people, you’ll need to keep an eye on the bottom line. When comparing quotes from different moving companies, pay close attention to what services they include with the price they offer you. Some companies have hidden costs that aren’t obvious, so always ask what the full cost of the services you need will be.

4. What do other customers say about them?

Once you have a moving company that has met all of your other criteria, it’s important to do a little more due diligence and check out reviews online. These days, it’s usually pretty easy to find 5 or 10 (or more) reviews on a reputable business. Read reviews carefully, especially those that go into some detail. If you have multiple positive reviews and a strong overall rating (hopefully 4.5 or higher), chances are you have a winner.

If you are a professional videographer or filmmaker then it is important that you consider purchasing a ‘follow focus system’ for your DSLR. It goes without saying that this system is important and the reason behind it is that DSLR cameras are not capable enough. And this is where the question arises… Why do you need a follow focus system?

The need for this system

There is no denying the fact that the math of the approach is quite complex. Using your hands to make adjustments will definitely degrade the quality value of your video. These things are fine if you are shooting a documentary film because there are limited people and they can forgive such minor technical errors.

Speaking of feature films, you need to measure every scene and a good quality follow focus helps ensure every shot is of the highest quality.

Nothing ruins a video more than soft focus and that’s why the follow focus system is there to help you achieve the best results.

What is the role of a follow-up approach?

With regards to the exceptions, almost every follow-up focuses on a large number of gears, which are manipulated by a circular knob.

All professional camera lenses are equipped with a gear on the focus barrel that helps to match the pitch size of the gear. If you’re working with stationary lenses then you need to use gears that can attach to your lenses and guess what, they can do the same thing.

When you line up the gears on follow focus, you just turn the knob on follow focus. The main advantage of using a follow focus has to do with precision and that is what we all want. The series of gears help give you finer control over focus, which would ultimately help decrease the likelihood of losing your focus pulls entirely.

Tips for staying focused

Once you’ve set up a follow focus, now all you need to do is start following focus. And at the same time, you should also follow the advice.

At the same time, you should also follow the advice.

1. Create Brands:

If you see clearly, there is an outer white plastic circle around the knob that is usually used to set focus marks, which is general practice in narrative settings. Make sure you get your hands on some dry erase markers because now you have to make marks. If you’re working on a rehearsal project, you can even clear markers to set focus marks for a given shot.

2. Practice:

No matter how you are interacting with your system, always keep in mind that you should try to practice your extraction several times. Also, get your hand and wrist used to where the near focus and infinity are. Attracting focus is a skill and the more you practice, the more successful you will be.

3. Don’t fret:

If you look at movies closely, you’ll be surprised how many times you see a shot slightly out of focus, or sometimes out of focus. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t follow the action though, but if you’re constantly restless about the action, you’ll end up looking like an amateur.

Electric cars are no longer a dream. They are here today, and in the years to come there will be many more models and options available to the consumer. With fuel prices rising higher and higher and the environmental impact of traditional fossil fuel burning, you may be considering making the switch to an alternative. Here are 5 reasons why you should be driving an electric vehicle.

1. Cheaper:

They are much cheaper to run. Taking much less cash to ‘fill up’ than engines that burn oil. You can charge them overnight from your home power supply and depending on your utility company this can be reduced by taking advantage of off-peak rates. Your motoring costs will be drastically reduced.

2. Cleaner:

They are truly zero emission vehicles. No exhaust pipes or greenhouse gases are produced. Furthermore, they are silent, which leads to a very low environmental impact. While it is true that there are emissions associated with the production of electricity, it is getting cleaner and cleaner. Additionally, many providers offer green energy rates, which are more expensive but still much cheaper than diesel or gasoline.

3. Less maintenance:

Electric motors require almost no maintenance. There is no cooling system and no oil system, apart from gearbox or clutch. Oil and coolant changes are a thing of the past. The only thing to take care of are the brakes and the lyres. If you’re a DIY motorist working on one of these vehicles, it’s also cleaner. It won’t be covered in oil or grease like with a traditional fuel burner.

4. Lasts longer:

As well as being ultra-reliable, the motor will last a long time. With fewer moving parts to worry about, there’s little that can go wrong. All there is to an electric motor is a coil and drive shaft, unlike the hundreds of moving parts in a traditional combustion engine.

5. Local incentives:

Your taxes may be lower, as many countries will give you tax breaks and other incentives for green motoring. In the UK, where other cars have to pay road tax annually, the tax for electric drive vehicles is zero.

Surely these 5 reasons why you should drive an electric vehicle have given you something to eat or think about. These cars are getting better and cheaper all the time. Not only will you help the environment, but you’ll also help your bank balance.

Is the world really becoming more concerned about our environment? Are we really becoming more aware of what we do so as not to contribute to the destruction of nature?

Well, it seems that the market is constantly bombarded with consumers looking for clean and fuel efficient vehicles. Most consumers are no longer looking for truly sporty, high-performance types of vehicles. Right now, your main concern is the environment and your pocket.

A very clear example of this is the recent order for electric vehicles. The well-known manufacturer of electric vehicles, ZAP, has just received its largest order in its entire existence in the industry. After all, the total amount of the order has slipped to $79 million.

Such a large order came from The Electric Vehicle Company, or more commonly known as EVC, which is a company based in Chicago. This group is one of those businesses that make sure to send a message to all ordinary consumers about electric transportation that doesn’t help pollute the environment but is also quite cheap.

According to ZAP CEO Steve Schneider, the total $79 million order isn’t really just for electric cars. The order also includes a variety of electric vehicles such as trucks. He also mentioned that if orders were completed within 12 months, EVC would receive an 8% discount on the total deal.

Schneider also goes on to reveal: “We believe this order, which constitutes thousands of vehicles, is the largest order for consumer electric vehicles in history.” And with that statement it seems that he is right. In fact, not even the big companies like Active Brakes Direct or Ford have seen such a large order for their products.

“Many municipalities have recently been talking about mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, so we are grateful to be involved in this historic effort,” Schneider continues. This is after Schneider mentioned that last March, a host of concerned individuals, groups, and organizations voiced their concerns in Congress, calling on lawmakers to set limits when it comes to emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases. harmful.
