Hybrid cars represent the immediate future of Toyota, which will be demonstrated at the Tokyo Autoshow where Sai presented, based on the Lexus HS250h, the elder brother of the successful Prius.
It is clear that Toyota has enough time betting on clean technologies in their cars. Its successful Prius led the way, but not alone. Japan’s brand has just announced another car with this technology. Sai and will be called the large sedan from Toyota in Japan.
Based on the tech-y enough in the design of the Lexus-HS250h, the hybrid car that Toyota’s premium brand sold in the United States. Under the hood, nothing new about the HS 250h: a propeller-type 2.4-liter Atkinson. This engine with electric drive power generated close to 190 HP.
The aesthetics, inside and out, it varies, but in a more noticeable in the cockpit, which opens the instrument panel and center console, steering wheel and upholstery is opting for a little less glamorous than his brother Lexus. Outside, the two are distinguished by a hood, fenders and headlights different though, as we say, the essence of both cars is similar.
The Toyota Sai be sold initially in Japan, next year, while North America would come in second place. There is a possibility that is also sold in Europe.
As I had mentioned in an earlier report, the European Union will implement a tough and thorough decision on the future automotive in countries that are part of it. The objective which is to ensure that all administrations of the countries to obtain green cars by 2010.
The objective is very clear, because the idea is to start from above the use of hybrid cars, electrical or whatever, it would help further that people see with different eyes these new vehicles. The European Union's approach is only accurate and appropriate, where the same formalized the purchase of 30,000 cars with CO2 emissions. (more...)
Volkswagen was present at the Bologna Motor Show 2008 in two ecologies versions of the Passat and Golf, where the sedan is called TSI EcoFuel, and the medium is bi-fuel.
In the case of the Passat, the company is present in Bologna to the sedan version of this new engine. This is the 1.4-liter TSI EcoFuel 150 hp, where it has been adapted for the use of unleaded petrol and natural gas. But unlike the motor show a few months ago, this brings some new valves, pistons, and a new reservoir to improve the capacity of the same. 
The copy of the CR-Z featured on the Honda stand at the Tokyo Motor Show (public days from October 24 to November 4) is still at the prototype stage, but it is very close to the final model to be marketed the next year. Compared to the previous concept car of 2007, this version close to the production underwent some minor aesthetic interior and received a more realistic and less futuristic.
We talked a lot about green cars and hybrid cars, now is the time to talk about the green trucks that are being developed around the world and with different technologies to meet a variety of functions and transport requirements. 
The third passenger buses are double decker in London, which in early 2009 and will be circulating in the European city, with the aim of reducing pollution as they are equipped with hybrid technology, which in addition to reducing their carbon emissions makes them quieter.
