2005 Hybrids
Cache In Your Chips And Get A Bus!
Computer related terminology could sometimes be daunting to newcomers. These are relatively new words or hybrids of words, already in existence. Someone with a degree in English, for example, could not necessarily guess, the function of a particular devise, by its name. This is because such a devise never existed in history or in the history of the English language. Tolerance and patience is required. If you work in the field of computers, these “new” words must be learned. However, P.C.’s are designed for us ...

The Hybrid Car
A hybrid car has a small engine
that is fuel efficient, which is combined with an electric motor
that aids the engine when additional power is needed during
acceleration. The electric motor gets its power from battery banks
which continuously charge while you are driving.
Energy is conserved when you stop because the engine is shut off
automatically. Then, when you apply gas, it automatically restarts.
The hybrid car also uses a more advanced aerodynamic lightweight
body, and combines it with low roll resistant tires that are stiffer
and narrower to help reduce drag.
In 2004, out of the 17 million vehicles sold there were around
80,000 hybrid vehicles sold. By 2005 that number had increased by
1.2% to 200,000, and it's estimated that by 2007 more than 400,000
hybrids will be sold.
There are several hybrids currently available in North America. They
include the Honda Civic, Honda Accord, Honda Insight, Toyota Prius,
and the Mercury Mariner. There are also Hybrid SUVs available - the
Ford Escape, the Lexus 400H and the Toyota Highlander, and many new
models are on the way.
The Toyota Prius holds 52% of the hybrid market with just under
108,000 vehicles. The Honda Civic is the next most popular with
25,000 vehicles.
Now that consumer support for the hybrids has arrived, auto
manufacturers are increasing the pace at which they introduce hybrid
models. Just starting to come out are the Honda CR V SUV, Saturn Vue,
Hyundai Accent, and Kia Rio are being introduced as hybrid models.
In 2007 we will see the Toyota Camry, Honda Fit, Mazda Tribute,
Chevrolet Malibu, and Nissan Altima; and 2008 will see the Ford
Fusion and Mercury Millan available as hybrids.
And as an added bonus in the United States, consumers that purchase
a hybrid will get a tax break. Those purchasing fuel-cell vehicles
will get up to $8000 in tax breaks, and those purchasing alternative
fuel vehicles that weigh less than 8,500 pounds get a $2500 tax
break. It's a nice pleasant surprise!

Honda Civic Hybrid 2004: The Weekly Driver Review
The first time I came to a stoplight, the car was so quiet I thought the engine had stalled. I tried to restart the car, but the engine was already on, and I advanced when the light changed in my favor. But the same thing happened at the next spotlight and again at the third red light I reached. It wasn't like I was driving a "high-tech" vehicle and didn't know how properly operate it. Rather, it was "only" a 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid -- the first hybrid I've had as a weekly test ...

DCX and GM buddy up on hybrids
It seems that GM has woken up and realized that these hybrid things might be here to stay, and now its getting in the game in a big way. Yesterday the company announced its plan to offer three types of hybrids by 2007 and now we’ve gotten word that it’s finalized its previously reported deal with DaimlerChrysler to develop hybrid engines together. DaimlerChrysler will handle the development of hybrid engines for RWD luxury cars, while GM will take on trucks, SUVs and FWD cars and crossovers. Seems like DCX got the sweet end of that deal. The Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon will be the first vehicles to feature the new two-mode hybrid powerplant along with a soon-to-be hybrid Dodge Durango.

Oilseed rape hybrids set the standard for top yield
Significant advances in winter oilseed rape breeding, represented by this year's four variety newcomers, mean yields are rising by about 1.5% a year, according to the CEL's Jim McVittie. That compares with the 1% progress in winter wheats and is reflected in a rapid list turnover. "Of the 18 recommended varieties in trial this year, half have been added in the past two years," says Dr McVittie. "Their average gross output is 6% above the more established varieties." Two of this year's additions are restored hybrids. "It's nice to see hybrids coming up and challenging conventional varieties. Hybrids should be higher yielding, but they have been lagging behind for a few years." All four new names have similar gross outputs, just 1% behind Lioness. "They all have pretty similar agronomic characters." Disease resistance too, apart from stem canker in one, is good. That feature is particularly welcome in
