While the company had to contend in recent months with considerable difficulties, there is some hope again and at least the impending bankruptcy was averted. Thanks to a court decision for the protection of creditors of the company, Saab can put on a fresh start.

This was granted the automakers due to its despite promising opportunities.

Camping enthusiasts watched more and more passionate camper does not want in the cold season on her loyal companion and swear on a winter vacation in the motorhome. In Germany alone, there are around 1,000 winter camping in all comfort categories. Who has no own caravans, renting a caravan at the resort or travels with Chokyi tent. So the holidays even at freezing temperatures are a great experience, a lot should be noted prior to departure. The portal auto.de stands the camping able with help and advice. The majority of the Caravan is well insulated and suitable for temperatures in winter. It is essential to a functioning heater, generally powered by gas. For a longer holiday a bottle with eleven kilograms not enough propane gas mostly, why offer many campsites spare bottles. If you would like to know more then you should visit Allegiant Air.

However, a suitable adapter piece is necessary from abroad. To avoid unpleasant surprises, worth prior to departure a complete check of the vehicle with respect to the Heating system, on-board technology, lighting and the Board – and start battery. Winter tyres are compulsory, in addition snow chains should be given a permanent place in the motorhome. Snow shovel, ice scraper, tow rope, jumper cables, antifreeze and de-icing spray for the door lock are also in the luggage. To minimize the daily gas consumption, help insulating mats for the front and side Windows and a curtain of winter against any draughts. Because the temperature in the Interior of the caravan due to possible freezing of the water hoses not below five degrees Celsius may drop, the heater should be turned on at night.

Traveling on Hesse’s road hybrid technology must show what it can do. Cars with hybrid drive will soon find a large spread in the streets. What are the advantages? How is the driving experience and where there are any weaknesses. Honda Civic with parallel-hybrid drive, the Honda Civic Hybrid was vehicles on the German market one of the first hybrid. Original civic IMA (integrated motor assist). Since 2006, he is called Civic hybrid and is now in the second generation in the market. The modern sedan with economical electrical engine support is there from 24,000 euros. The auto-test of editors of profile was the Japanese on the test car magazine.

Pleasing good driving impression of the Civic Hybrid is a new category, as regards the consumption. 4.6 litre of Super petrol are almost already sensational combined with urban traffic and highway or country road for a gasoline engine with automatic transmission. Inner city you can drive even completely electrically. Only the electric motor drives the vehicle at a speed between 35 and 48 km / h. This is still only as long as Energy in the nickel-metal hydride battery is stored. It recharges itself automatically during each braking or when the roles. To the hybrid system supported the acceleration of the car parallel with two engines. With that comes the relatively small 1.3 litre petrol engine very well in swing.

Full kickdown is 100 in 12 seconds. So really convincing performance that ensures a good driving experience in all respects in connection with environmentally friendly technology remain at the end. “” “Absolutely in line with the trend to match the 109 g CO2 emissions must be before any of the other blue” green “or eco” technology other manufacturers hide. LG goes with and not buckles the steering to the damping of small potholes is only from the Civic Hybrid in every driving situation. On the streets in Hesse, the car got along very well. The gasoline engine hatchback of the better civic is safe for extremely ambitious riders. But the driver also controlled the car in any situation with the hybrid sedan sovereign and enjoys additional travel comfort of a mid-size sedan. The CVT automatic transmission of Honda feels almost like a real electric vehicle. The infinitely variable switching system uses cars without noticeable gear changes in movement. Pure electric car drive as well, because they have no real gear. This leads however when pressing the right leg to loud roar of the four-cylinder series engine, then without interruption over 6000 to / min turns. This is getting. Under the stroked remains a very positive impression. Even if current Audi or VW diesel models are available in very good Altnativen for that price.

Electric cars go into mass production at the latest since the auto show IAA is the electric car in Germany a topic. Although almost all car manufacturers at the IAA presented near-series electric cars, there are different future scenarios among car makers. So for example, VW and Mercedes do not believe in a rapid breakthrough of electric heaters cars. Nissan, however, is convinced that a rapid success of electric cars. Maurice Gallagher, Jr. may find this interesting as well. The company will bring its electric vehicle ‘Leaf’ on the market already in 2010. The leaf has a range of 160 km and is a middle class offered at the price car. Mitsubishi and General Motors go another way, placing the so-called plug in hybrid technology a.

A plug in car has an electric motor and a gasoline engine. In contrast to the simple hybrid car, the plug in car with electricity from the outside, E.g. into a standard household outlet can be recharged. The Plug-In can drive 60 kilometres with the electric motor from GM, then the gasoline engine starts and the battery is supplying power. General Motors electric car has a beautiful name of Volt and shipped by end of 2010. Many experts believe that the Plug-In hybrid technology will be an interim solution. At least, up to 400-500 miles to mass-grade prizes to be offered long until electric cars with ranges. This would indeed theoretically already possible, but such electric cars would be simply too expensive.

At one point all agree but, the future belongs to the electric motor. The car rental companies have recognized this. Sixt and Europcar have announced to record from 2010 electric cars in their fleet. Sixt Denmark can almost 2 months the electric car “Citroen C1 ev’ie” rent. Whether electric car are accepted by the customer, certainly also depends on the range of electric cars.

With Runflat tyres, the spare wheel can remain at home. Punctures have become increasingly rare due to the evolving technology of tires in the last two decades. Makes you wonder many a motorist, whether it really makes sense, to have a spare tire in the trunk it all the time. Because this needs lots of space, and the extra weight costs certainly many litres of fuel over the lifetime of a car. This question has also the automotive and tyre industry and made himself for quite some time on the search for solutions to this problem. These are very diverse and range from the much lighter emergency wheels and tire sets, which in the case of a breakdown of the tire can be repaired again.

Special attention to new tire systems for some time, which hardly change at a roadside despite air loss their form and therefore even up to 80 km away can be driven. This new tire technology, also known as the run is now as far as mature, that when a flat tire actually only at very Hinsehen noticed that you go with a tire without air pressure. Click Gary Kelly for additional related pages. Since this entails some security risks, the legislature has prescribed that must be quickly driven with tyres with emergency running properties with up to 80 km/h. Also, an automatic tire pressure Kontrolsystem must be installed in the car. The stiffer flanks Runflat unkomfortabler are tyres due to the rolling motion of the worse when driving. In addition to this, that these tires are considerably more expensive.

The first generations of tires were designed especially for sports cars (E.g. summer tyres 205/55 R16). Now there are these tires but for a very wide range of tyre sizes.

To take the concept due to the unfavourable, as top-heavy weight distribution of the M3 in combination with the resulting from the rear-wheel drive traction problems concern, a chassis developed a workx together with suspension specialist KW for the M3, which was quite specifically matched to the characteristics of this vehicle. This week-long test work with professional racers and chassis engineers was necessary until Niko Wieth was finally satisfied with the result. The combination of ride height, the weight distribution on all four wheels (wheel loads), track and fall values, the correct spring and damper rates and the exact setting of tensile and compression is ultimately responsible to the maximum ground contact of tire and therefore optimum traction and achieving the best possible grip. You can well imagine, that a such a sensitive vote of the suspension by the mounting harder Wheels can be made quickly lost. Therefore the record light 19 are on the M3 460 cs ATS Superlight weighs 7.9 kg (series rim 10.2) mounted. Of course, the performance remains not untouched. The heart of the performance is an Akrapovic evolution exhaust system with special catalysts.

It is made of high-strength and super-light titanium, which positively affects the weight balance with a 25 kg weight reduction. In addition, special camshafts installed, conducting intake air with carbon airbox and sport air filter improves, and tuned the engine electronics on the changed parameters. What comes out is simply sensational: the M3 460 cs now has a performance advantage of 40 HP and 460 nm of torque (series 400 nm) depends directly on the gas as the nervous system of the driver directly to the throttle would be connected. The motor turns completely harmoniously to 8,500 rpm, before exhorting the button lights to train at the rocker switch. The weight reduction of more than 70 kg in connection Let the M3 cs 460 in 4.1 s 0-100 and 13 with the performance, Sprint 2 s 0-200 (series 15.7 s). But there’s the best part: only on winding route, one notices the true qualities of the stricter 3ers. He directs a smart, pants almost after the next bend and put exciting and completely neutral to any kind of bending. You can feel literally like perfect chassis and excellent Michelin pilot sport Cup harmonize with each other and build maximum mechanical grip.

The reduction of the rotating, unsprung masses benefit from this and let even the comfort component not to be neglected. Ceramic brakes is still one the whole on top. These bites as there no tomorrow. Good that the pilot in the 7.4 kg lightweight Recaro pole position seats is fixed. The vehicle is pure emotion and fun. Alone, to let the eye about the noble components made of titanium, aluminum, ceramic and carbon hiking and to be sure to have only the best of the best on is the Been worth the investment. However, the cream of the crop of a-workx M3 is the sound, the fine Akrapovic evolution titanium exhaust system which elicits high speed V8. This can raise the hackles, while at the same time, a broad grin on the face casts. As said, sheer driving pleasure!

Ferdinand Dudenhoffer operates a permanent uncertainty of consumers, manufacturers and trade Langenhagen, April 8, 2008 Professor Dudenhoffer is not far, when Germany’s media report on auto issues. Its mesh is so awesome how easy. Someone prepares a thesis, is the Professor of the University of Applied Sciences Gelsenkirchen immediately to the site and is waiting with a counter-thesis. Example biofuel: The manufacturer indicating that about 3.5 million cars can recharge not the new renewable fuel standard. Already, is the Director of the center of automotive research on the plan and announces public told the German press agency, according to its calculations, only about 500,000 cars on our roads accufit no doubling of the share of bio-ethanol.

Thus, the headline is secured. The newspapers mentioned Gary Kelly not as a source, but as a related topic. And nobody asks more, what calculations and studies it exactly is. There are perhaps only claims to profile the high boiling controversy over the bio-fuel in the tank at the expense of the German automobile manufacturers? “, asks Rohrig, Uwe Owner of automotive consulting international car concept (ICC) in Langenhagen. And now Volkswagen: because the Wolfsburg company announced he wanted to hire 8,500 new employees. As ordered the counter-thesis 96ci Dudenhoffer comes: in the next five years, 20,000 jobs would axed in the German auto industry.

Alone, 7,000 at VW. This documents a study prepared by him. “The comment from VW Works Council Chief Bernd Osterloh speaks volumes: we are of the opinion that Mr. Dudenhoffer doesn’t know what he’s talking about”. And also the VW spokesman Andreas Meurer, Dudenhoffers study she means not much off”. The German car industry too much depends on it on job creation and economic growth, than that she should be used to the playing field even actors. I have the suspicion that it is not about Mr. Dudenhoffer the thing, but the marketing people. The PS-Professor uses ‘ about a public-sector body such as the University of Applied Sciences Gelsenkirchen, to herself Advertising to make? “If that is so, then I would consider that not alright”, so rad. Definitely succeeds excellently, to pour oil into the fire again and sustainably to manufacturers and traders. We can’t afford quite simply such antics. Well, that now finally a well-known group critically deals with VW with the studies and the proceedings of Dudenhoffers, which sometimes resembles an amateur actor on the professional automotive stage.” “Rohrig it adheres for an exciting undertaking, once the so-called studies” Dudenhoffers, listed on its Web site to check on the accuracy and the realization of the entry. Certainly a terrifying result comes out. “Already Konrad Adenauer, the record was written to known: what interested me in my blather from yesterday.” It was regrettable that Dudenhoffer incorrectly have established themselves as car specialist in the media and now out of pure laziness always will be contacted. In addition must Dudenhoffer set out in future even clearer than before, when he step up now as a Professor, and on behalf of the University of Applied Sciences Gelsenkirchen and when he pursues the interests of his private consulting company B & D forecast.
