Outlook for New Vehicle Sales Falls on Credit and Mortgage Woes; High Fuel Costs Spur Interest in Alternative Fuel Vehicles
Auto purchase outlook index reading signals a potential slump in sales if manufacturers don't act to shore up the market.
Cheap Hybrid Cars
In addition to developing gas efficient vehicles, the push is on to produce cheap hybrid cars for mass production. The cost remains relatively high for hybrid technology, despite it being on the road since 1997 and improved technology. Vehicle weight continues to be one of the roadblocks to cheap hybrid cars, and with more people believing in the technology, they still want roomier cars with power consistent with conventional gas and diesel engines.
Leading Industry Experts will be Presenting at Next Biofuels Technologies Conference in Beijing
Experts will gather in Beijing to present and discuss on next generation technologies for biofuels (ethanol, biodiesel & synthetic fuels), yield-efficient feedstock management and production economics at CMT's Next Biofuels Technologies Conference, 25-26 October 2007.
Facts About Hybrid Cars
There are a number of myths and misrepresentations about hybrid cars but there are also a number of clear facts. Certain hybrid cars produce a significant amount less pollutants than conventional cars although the amount depends on the model. The United States Government offers a number of incentives so that citizens will turn to hybrid cars and these include a valuable tax rebate. The cost of hybrid cars can be high initially but the truth about it is that it is an investment as the parts have warranties that provide free replacements. They keep their value as they are so much in demand. They tend to last longer than conventional gasoline cars and do not require more maintenance than other cars. The facts about hybrid cars technology...
Post-Petroleum Transportation Identifies Five Alternative Fuel Myths
Expert on alternative fuel strategies for business identifies the leading myths concerning high fuel costs and fuel shortages. These myths hinder the development and deployment of alternative fuels including ethanol, methanol, butanol, di-methyl either (DME), bio-diesel, straight vegetable oil, bio-methane, hydrogen, natural gas, propane, and synthetic liquid fuel. The author argues business managers should educate themselves so they can begin to address alternatives to rising fuel costs and shortages affecting their business.

Fuel Prices at the Pump: That is not the problem, Natural Gas Prices are high too
The price at the gas pump is certainly on everyone's mind. We read about Airliner Bankruptcies too and their fuel costs.
Global Warming & Hybrid Cars
Global Warming is a considerable increase in the climate temperature of the earth in a short period of time due to human activity. Global warming could result in the arctic ice thinning which would increase the sea level, as well as other extreme weather such as floods, hurricanes etc. Climate change is a major problem in the twenty first century, and a lot has to be done in order to turn things around for future generations. Car producers have been forced to develop new technologies to reduce the level of gas emissions that go into the air. Vehicles on the road are responsible for nearly one quarter of yearly emission of carbon dioxide ? the principal global warming gas ? in the United States. With the exception of three other countries, ...

Ethanol Converters that are Fully Automatic Now Available
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (PRWEB) October 24, 2006 -- AutoFFV™ is so called because this latest export model is 100% fully automatic. When installed it makes the normal gasoline car behave and perform as a Flex Fuel Vehicle (FFV). This enables the vehicle to run on any mix of Gasoline and Ethanol.
Today we see a growing roll out of E85 (85% Ethanol and 15% gasoline) fuel pumps in forecourts and the AutoFFV™ converter is optimized to use this fuel and adapt automatically and economically to any mix below this. Using E85 has a dramatic effect on lowering green house gas (GHG) emissions with tests showing CO2 emissions lower by 40% to 70%, depending on the vehicle and driving conditions. "With an average of over 50% lower GHG emissions, this relatively low cost upgrade to a car not only is environment friendly it can also save money and help lower fossil fuel imports" said Mr. Vidar Lura, managing director of Abcesso. He added "we have seen in Brazil over the past 20 years the very positive impact this converter technology and FFV take up has had on lowering dependence on fuel imports and helping keep our air cleaner". Running a car on E85 with an AutoFFV™ conversion improves performance, the car runs cleaner and it can save money.
AutoFFV™ also provides the driver the option to fill up with any mix of fuel. AutoFFV™ is a 'plug and play' upgrade, once plugged in no additional switching or calibration is ever needed. It can also be removed at any time so the original manufacturers' vehicle specification is maintained. AutoFFV™ is manufactured in Brazil for Abcesso to the highest quality standards by Letande Ind. Ltda.
Abcesso are now recruiting and training distributors and authorized dealers with the focus on areas where E85 fuel pumps are now established or scheduled to roll out.
