Replacement Parts for the Mercedes Benz S Class Hybrid Sedan
The combination of electric drive with the 7G-Tronic automatic transmission ensures that the S-Class "Hybrid" constantly operates at the optimum level. "This reduces fuel consumption by 15 to 25 percent depending on the driving cycle, while at the same time enhancing comfort," says Prof. Herbert Kohler, Head of the Vehicle Body and Drive Systems Directorate at DaimlerChrysler AG. Combining a V8 diesel engine with the latest generation of hybrid drive systems developed jointly by DaimlerChrysler and General Motors, M ...

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!

Lexus Hybrid Car Review: Lee Scott's Shiny Green Lexus (The Nation)
The Nation - Suppose you run one of the most environmentally offensive companies on the planet. Would you then expect people to be impressed that you drive an eco-friendly car? Last week Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott told the Chicago Tribune that he was selling his Volkswagen Bug and that he now drives a Lexus hybrid. "I love the idea of emission control," he effused, "and I just hate dependence on foreign oil."

Lexus to debut GS450h at Frankfurt
Toyota continues its push for performance hybrids with the upcoming Lexus GS450h hybrid. Based on the new GS sedan, the GS450h will feature a 3.5-liter V6 coupled with Toyota’s Synergy Drive system. The story on performance is the GS hybrid will produced over 300 hp and can accelerate to 60 in less than 6 seconds. The promise is to return gas mileage in the mid-to-high twenties. We’d say ‘duh’ to the horsepower figure, with the 3.5-liter already offering a delicious 300 hp, but ‘your mileage may vary’ on the mpg estimates. Regardless, we’ve been itching for some serious time behind the wheel as soon as we heard about it months ago. There is something about 300 hp+ that makes a hybrid so much cooler. The car is set to show at the Frankfurt show next month. Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments© 2005 Weblogs, Inc. Ads by Google
