Future Promises Great Achievements In Car Industry

By Cristian Truers

The biggest change will be that cars themselves will be electric-powered, diluting the meaning of the word "automotive electronics." It's not that electricity or software will change cars but that cars themselves will become electricity, so to speak.

In other words, cars will be linked to electric force systems in the future. And it is becoming more and more probable that gasoline vehicles will change into hybrid and plug-in hybrid cars, and then into pure electric cars.

Of course, there are other possibilities like clean diesel cars and bio fuel cars though fuel-cell vehicles exist to the side of them, I would say. But trains proved one hundred years ago that electric motors are better actuators for conveyances if there is enough infrastructure to supply electricity.

When viewed in this light, the trend shifting from hybrid cars to plug-in hybrid cars and to pure electric cars is becoming more and more prominent. This trend will become even stronger after the G8 Hokkaido-Toyako Summit though it is also being influenced by soring oil price.

When cars are linked to electric power systems, their characteristics will change. I mean, they will be charged with a small amount of electricity at a time and will be charged more often. In other words, they will become like trains.

What's the difference between trains and cars? Trains move while being supplied with energy from outside. And cars run carrying most of the energy they need.

Currently, cars run 400-500km (250-313 miles) on a single fueling and at a maximum velocity of 160km (100 miles) per hour because auto makers have made efforts to develop cars that can be used anytime, anywhere and by anyone.

However, do all cars really have to have those capabilities? Considering how they are used in reality, I think many people would be satisfied with cars that can run 20km (13 miles) a day and at a maximum speed of 100km (63 miles) per hour.

The travel distance of 400-500km is long enough to drive in the mid of the Sahara desert. It does not make sense to utilize that kind of automobile in urban areas.

When I talk about a car that can store little energy, people often ask me, "what will you do if it runs out of energy?" But, how many people drive to the areas where they cannot recharge their cars until the cars stop? We just need cars that meet our needs. - 21392

Importance of Solid Rubber Tires

By Benedict Perez

The solid rubber tires have gained extraordinary popularity in these days due to several developments that have affected their existence. These are constructed using fundamental materials such as rubber and some molding materials along with other compound chemical for hardening to ensure compression and durability as well as long lasting endurance. These are commonly seen to be without treads and coverings as usually used in bicycles.

With these types of running gears under the bodies of large vehicles do not last long especially in areas where the road condition is not very poor. Considering the composition and structure of these gears, the wear and tear at a shorter period is very inevitable. The use of sole solid rubber tires on heavy trucks or other huge vehicles that carry heavy loads are not practical due to the limitation on speed that must be observed when using them.

The running or driving capacity of the vehicles was quite limited due to the limitation imposed on the gears. The use of metallic types of running gears in vehicles had caused damages on the pavements. Before the rubber tire had emerged, the earliest version of this running gear was simply made of metal in bands that were fitted around a wooden wheel.

The modern solid rubber tires are built for extreme use and abusive applications where foam-filled or pneumatic tires cannot last. The modern innovations are constructed with treads and corresponding bodies. The purpose of the treads is to provide traction while the bodies ensure for their support. These are used to protect the wheels and to enable better driving performance of the vehicle.

Online manufacturers have professionally trained representatives and experts who can readily address your concerns to meet your needs. If you want to know more about these types of materials for your vehicles for whatever application you have in mind, you can check online and search on the best dealers or manufacturers of these products. On the internet you can find websites of certain manufacturers of these solid rubber tires. - 21392

Muffler & Exhaust

By Lindsay Parker

I've had road trips start out fun but out of now where my car started making a loud obnoxious noise. The noise was so loud I could barely hear anyone talk. I soon learned that it was important to keep my eye on my muffler and exhaust.

Mufflers make it more enjoyable to drive by reducing engine and exhaust noise. If you can suddenly hear the noise of your engine you might have to have your exhaust system checked out. Your muffler is attached to the exhaust pipe and isn't just in charge of reducing sound but it is also key in keeping deadly gasses out of your car.

If you think that you might have a broken muffler, don't wait too long to get it checked out. Exhaust can enter the car when your muffler is broken. It is important that this isn't put off.

If your car is loud but you find out that your exhaust system isn't broken, you might just want to look into getting a new muffler anyway. One that will filter out the noise better. A great muffler can make all the difference.

You can also get a hole in your muffler that will cause the same loud noise. This can be fixed with a patch if it isn't too big.

Cars that are left in garages for long periods of time can experience major problems with corroding and other muffler problems. Many times when you start driving them again you will have problems with your exhaust and muffler that can result in having to buy another muffler or have other work done on the exhaust.

Loud engine noise can be a sign that you need some exhaust work done but if you don't hear anything don't assume that everything is okay. It is smart to be checking your exhaust every time you change your oil. Leaks shouldn't be ignored because carbon monoxide can enter the passenger compartment.

Those that live in snowy areas often have to get more exhaust and muffler work done. The cold weather leaves condensation in the exhaust, but the exhaust never gets warm enough to evaporate anything. It can then cause exhaust corroding. - 21392

Things to Consider when Buying a Car

By Dawn Enstruthe

Since the time of its conception, cars have brought great comfort to many people. The smooth and secured ride inside a car is a simple joy in everyday life. People are now able to save lots of time that used to be eaten up by walking or slow vehicles.

The cars we have now are products of car manufacturers' unending introduction of improvements to the cars. This is also fostered by competition among them. The German and the Japanese car makers are considered to be the leaders when it comes to cars.

With the advent of numerous models, it has become difficult to choose which car to buy. Many considerations have to be weighed before finally settling on one. One should always know his money's worth when it comes to buying expensive things such as cars.

Most important factor when purchasing a car is the price. If you want a brand car out there, make sure you have the dough to go with your dream. The latest models often command the higher price among cars. Latest models from the top manufacturers will of course, be the most expensive given that the brand name has also a price in itself. The high cost is compensated however, by admiration from the people around.

The physical aspect of the car is the next factor. Are you a macho who would want a big and towering car to accentuate your being a man? Or do prefer a compact car for easy parking? Cars vary in sizes and type to suit the needs of different people. For female friends, a convertible is the best bet to have a feel of the air when heading to a party at night. Family cars are often those with the spacious rears designed for family equipments when going on trips.

Fast cars are a hit among those who want to save time driving. This speed is determined by the car's engine so make sure to ask for its capability before buying.

A car which saves up on fuel is also a good find. It does not trouble you with money. The fuel-costly cars are usually those that can go really fast.

Vintage cars have also become popular nowadays. Though these cars are not usually used for driving, they are great collection items especially if their previous owners are famous personalities. These cars are a favorite among the rich consumers more than the ordinary buyer.

Another consideration is whether to buy a new car or settle for a used one. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. But whichever you choose, make sure your decision is not hastily arrived at. Cars, after all, are good investments wherein you would not just throw your money away. - 21392
