U3-X-Honda Advanced Technology

The electric unicycle Honda U3-X is a one-person transport proposal, to cover distances that are long and heavy to do it on foot, and in addition, the car in big cities, or to help offset in large buildings. It is small and lightweight; it is less than 10 kg.

It is self-stabilizing (to avoid balance problems) and hides, dejected; a carrying handled on top, two padded concave disks that serve as seating and two supports, as a pedal, footrest. Honda U3-X includes an electric motor and a small battery that allows you to have a range of approximately one hour.

Audi iHEV-Intelligent Hybrid Electric Vehicle

The German luxury car Audi works relentlessly on new systems that enable their engines consume less fuel and be kinder to the environment. Now, the house with the four rings is developing a similar technology to that used hybrid vehicles to conventional engines off when not needed.

The technology known by the acronym iHEV (Intelligent Hybrid Electric Vehicle), could be combined with the efficiency predictor assistant (PEA) to achieve dramatic reductions in consumption, turning off the engine when not needed. In this case, if the function is activated decoupling or 'coasting' off the combustion engine. In the task of restarting the combustion engine handles an electric motor of 48 volts of power, built-in transmission and driven by a belt.

Steel Reinforced High Voltage-Nissan Technology

Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. announced plans to expand the use of Steel Reinforced High Voltage Advanced (AHSS-Advanced High Tensile Strength Steel) in over 25 percent of the parts of a vehicle (measured according to weight) used in the production new models. Nissan will use this steel reinforced starting in 2017, as one of the initiatives to help reduce vehicle weight.

Nissan has developed * 1 Steel Reinforced High Voltage Ultra high capacity to mold and with a resistance of 1.2 giga Pascals (GPa), which has been used in the new Infiniti Q50 model, which goes on sale in North America in 2013. Prior to the development of steel of 1.2 GPa, was difficult to use high tensile steel to create complex shaped parts for vehicles. Nissan remains the only automaker that uses Steel * 2 Ultra High Voltage of 1.2 GPa, with high moldability.

Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle-Toyota

The Toyota FCHV is a series of prototypes of a hydrogen - fuel cell vehicle. The abbreviation "FCHV" stands for "Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle" literally "fuel cell hybrid vehicle." The hybrid may here not to be confused with hybrids with a combustion engine, but the FCHV already be researched electric cars equipped with a fuel cell stack.

These vehicles put an accumulator not only as a buffer, which is charged during braking and during the subsequent restart for additional propulsive force to ensure, but the battery is the main power storage device and can be over a wide range, the only power source during driving.

Chevrolet Ecologic Labels

Chevrolet announced that their vehicles will have environmental labels Ecologic. These enable customers to meet some of the environmental features of the vehicle that are related to the manufacture, handling and recycling.

So, is the first automotive brand to provide these labels to be placed on the rear window and driver's side appear on all 2013 model vehicles.

Natural Gas Hybrid-Toyota

The Toyota Surfrider Camry Hybrid CNG shown in the Environmental Lifestyle in the Toyota booth at SEMA Show 2009.  Natural gas is a gas mixture in varying proportions, which constitutes over 70% methane (CH4), while others may be in appreciable amounts as nitrogen., carbon dioxide and ethane (C2H8).

Vehicular Natural Gas or CNG acronym refers to a type of fuel for vehicle use considered economic and environmentally clean, now is a sustainable alternative in the world to replace the liquid fuel. Natural gas is a savings versus the use of petrol and / or diesel does not require costly refining processes and reduces operating costs.

ASV-Advanced Safety Vehicles-Honda

The ASV, equipped with the latest Honda technologies in preventive and active safety are designed to exchange information on speed, position and other data between vehicles and between vehicles and the road infrastructure, to provide drivers of all information they can be of help to prevent accidents.

What is ASV?

ASV vehicles are equipped with systems that use advanced technology to help drivers drive safely. The ASV project, conducted under the auspices of the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, with the collaboration of industry, academia and government. Currently, in Phase 4 (2006-2010).

Plug-in Hybrids-Toyota

The Prius plug-in hybrid is the latest development of the program of rechargeable vehicles Toyota. But even though the Plug-in Hybrid Prius will only run about 15 miles on just electricity, the electric engine can be charged in three hours.

Another advantage for Prius is that the car was the first mass produced hybrid to find success in the U.S. -- and the brand already has a long, successful customer following considering Toyota invested almost $1 billion to develop and launch the Prius in the 1990s while U.S. automakers focused on gas-guzzling SUVs.

ASIMO-Honda Advanced Technology

The Japanese company Honda today unveiled the new version of its robot ASIMO (Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility). You should see how this has evolved since its introduction biped robot 11 years ago.

This modern version has lost six kilograms since his last release, 2005 and now features 23 new joints, which currently has a total of 57, allowing it to run at speeds up to 9 miles per hour, 50 percent faster than the previous version.

Walking Assist-Honda Advanced Technology

The robotic assistant to walk Honda already has a new partner. The Japanese company and taught its first model of the Walking Assist Device in April this year. Now, months later, they announce this new version; differences from the previous not only in design but also in its mission. Instead of people with walking problems, this exoskeleton is for workers who can walk like anyone else.

The system consists of two jointed legs attached to a support that reduces strain on muscles and joints. The seat mechanism built assisted exerts to force on the center of gravity of the body, so it costs us less to perform actions such as walking, climbing stairs or stay in crouching position.

Electric Vehicles-Toyota

The latest prototype electric vehicle (EV) of Toyota makes its European debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2011. It involves the installation of an all-electric engine on the structure of a Toyota iQ and combines the agility of a compact city car that produces no emissions with simple and silent operation of a fully electric vehicle four-seater.

Toyota has been developing electric vehicles since 1971, including a two-seater prototype (E-com) and two generations of the RAV4 EV. A latter model, developed in cooperation with Tesla, will go on sale in the U.S. in 2012.
