  • Abandoning Auto Industry Car Models for New Hybrids

    Why is the US Auto Industry so slow to change? Well there are many reasons for this and the biggest reason is that SUVs are very high-profit cars to sell. The average profit on an SUV could be five times that of a regular car and if the Automaker is to continue to impress Wall Street they need profits not just sales numbers. Currently in the United States they are selling approximately 17 million cars but there is no way they can sell 85 million cars and so if they do not have some high-pro ...

    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!

    THE U.S. DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL

    In late 2004, the Hudson Institute conducted a survey with the following results:

    * 75% of Americans prioritized "reducing our reliance on foreign oil" over "cheaper prices for oil and gas."

    * 83% of Americans agreed that "reducing our dependence on foreign oil must be a top priority for the next administration."

    * 91% of Americans concurred that "when it comes to energy, we need an America that relies on its own ingenuity and ...

    It looks as if there will be newer cars coming out soon which have a 42 volt electrical system. Actually it will be a 36-volt electrical system with three 12-volt batteries in series. The good part is that it will create lower emissions because power steering pumps and air conditioning units can be mechanical in the future.

    The bad part for us is if the electrical system has a short to the frame you could be electrified like a hot dog while washing. Some car washes are a little concerned that their employees might g ...
