    Fuel economy and the Greenhouse Gas Scores

     

    How do I find the greenest vehicle possible?

    We have identified the lowest emitting and most fuel efficient vehicles with a "SmartWay" designation. In addition, the best of those are identified as "SmartWay Elite." Look up all SmartWay and SmartWay Elite vehicles from the Home:Basic Search Look up the Greenest Vehicles page. Click on the logos to see more about the SmartWay rating system.

    How can I look up a used car?

    You can use this Guide to determine the Air Pollution and Greenhouse Gas Scores of any model year 2000 and later car or truck. There are no Air Pollution or Greenhouse Gas Scores for earlier models. However, there are other ways to look at the air pollution (emissions) and greenhouse gas (related to fuel economy) data for older models:

    * Emissions: EPA annually posts detailed emission certification test information (actual vehicle test data) in a spreadsheet format at www.epa.gov/otaq/crttst.htm. This data is more technical in nature and may not be useful to the average consumer. Beginning in model year 2004, light-duty vehicles and trucks were required to meet “Tier 2” emission standards. Most vehicles built before 2000 were subject to the less stringent National Low Emission Vehicle (NLEV) or Tier 1 emission standards, and would score between 1 and 3 today. (See the detailed table of emission standards (6 pp, 54k, About PDF) for more information. )


    * Fuel Economy: For fuel economy information on cars older than model year 2000, go to the EPA/DOE fuel economy web site at http://www.fueleconomy.gov. This site has fuel economy information for all vehicles going back to 1985.

    Why are some vehicles sold only in some parts of the country?

    California has emission standards that are similar to but not exactly the same as federal standards. In addition, other states are permitted to adopt the California standards. For the 2008 model year, the following states have adopted the California LEV 2 emission standards: NY, ME, MA, PA, RI, CT, VT. Also, states which border those states may also sell California-certified vehicles. Most manufacturers choose to design a single vehicle type that complies with both California and federal emission standards, thus the vehicles will be available nationwide. However, in some cases, manufacturers will design and certify a vehicle type for sale in California only or the "California states." Information about California's emission standards program can be found at www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/msprog.htm. Exit EPA Disclaimer

    Why must I select a state before looking up a vehicle?


    Emission requirements for vehicles sold in California and certain states that have adopted California's vehicle emission standards are different from those sold in the rest of the U.S. The law also allows states that border the so-called "California states” to sell California-certified vehicles. As a car shopper, all this makes it very complex to determine where you can purchase the cleanest vehicle that meets your needs. On the previous version of the Guide, after you selected a vehicle, we showed you maps where the vehicle could legally be sold, leaving it up to you to determine if the vehicle was available. In our redesign of the Guide, we now ask that you simply select the state or states where you may be purchasing your vehicle, and the program determines which vehicles you may be able to find in those states, taking some of the guesswork out of your decision. However, please be aware that just because a manufacturer is allowed to offer a vehicle for sale in a certain state does not mean that it must or will offer it for sale there. Sometimes, a manufacturer will certify a vehicle for sale in the entire 50-state region, but only plans to offer it in a limited area. We have no way of knowing these plans, so it's always best to check with your dealer about availability. Information about California's emission standards program can be found at www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/msprog.htm.

    Why can't I find some of the biggest trucks, SUVs and vans in this Guide?


    Some of the largest vans, pickup trucks, and sport utility vehicles are officially classified as "heavy-duty trucks." Heavy-duty trucks have different emission standards which cannot be easily compared to the standards of the light-duty trucks, and are thus not included in this Guide. They are also exempted from any federal fuel economy requirements. More information about the emission requirements for these and other heavy-duty vehicles can be found at www.epa.gov/otaq/hd-hwy.htm

    The Hyundai i30

     


    It looks like God is raining cars upon India. Indian car lovers are now seeing exciting times wherein some amazing cars have already entered the Indian roads and many more are lined-up. Hyundai, the second largest passenger car manufacturer in India is doing good business and riding on the success of its Indian car launches. The next in line from the famous i-series cars from Hyundai Motors in India will be the premium hatchback Hyundai i30.

    Hyundai plans to execute the launch of all its i-series (i10, i20, i30, i40) cars in India. i10 and i20 have already enjoyed huge success in India and the next in line Hyundai i30 has to match up to all those huge expectations when it gets a launch in India around the end of 2009. The i30 is sure to be a winner on the Indian roads as it boasts of many exciting features including seatbelt reminders and steering mounted audio controls.

    One of the important elements that Hyundai missed on while launching the i10 and i20 was the overall design. The i10 and i20 are not that impressive with their exterior looks. Hyundai India, it seems have taken this important element into consideration and have now incorporated excellent styling into the Hyundai 30. Having features such as dual front door, curtain airbags, active headrests, seatbelt pretensioning and seatbelt reminders, the hatchback measures 4,245 mm long, 1,765 mm wide and 1,480 mm high. A wheelbase of 2,650 mm offers significant interior space for a vehicle of this size. Total luggage space is 340 liters with the rear seats upright.

    Hyundai i30 is one of the most anticipated car launches from Hyundai in India. The i30 will be available in both petrol and diesel versions and is expected to hit Indian roads by the end of 2009. Hyundai has invested heavily into expanding its production capacity and the dealer network. The success of Hyundai i30 will most definitely be bolstered by Hyundai's strong network of dealers as they continue to rule in the Indian car market. We wait with bated breath for the formal launch of the Hyundai i30 in India.

    Thankfully that means lots of spyshots for us. These pictures were taken by our U.S. based photographers during a routine test in Georgia.The Panamera is expected to officially debut at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show and compete strongly against the Mercedes CLS and the coming-soon Aston Martin Rapide.

    Porsche Panamera Blue

    Of course being a Porsche, the Panamera shares some design elements with the 911, but essentially this car is significantly different to the rest of the Porsche stable. For a start, this is a front-engined car, something that doesn’t sit that well with Porsche purists (Porsche has moved the engine as far towards the centre as possible).
    The Panamera range is expected to include three engine choices, Volkswagen’s 3.5-litre six-cylinder engine which develops a healthy 223kW and Porsche’s own direct-injection eight-cylinder petrol engines, available in naturally-aspirated guise (261kW) and with twin-turbos (417kW).
    There is of course the possibility of Porsche doing a special edition Panamera with the GT’s 500kw+ V10 engine.

    With four full seats, easy access to the rear and a luggage compartment of around 450 litres, the Panamera is aimed at those with practicality in mind. Porsche plans to attract new buyers to the brand.
    The Stuttgart based company believes the Panamera will sell 20,000 units annually upon its release in 2009, which will see Porsche sell over 100,000 cars per year.

    Important Buying Vehicle Tips

     

    Buying a Vehicle

    Purchasing a vehicle can be an overwhelming task. There are some things you should do before you arrive at a dealership. Do some research:

    • Determine how much you can afford to finance and spend on a monthly payment.
    • Get a copy of your credit report so you are aware of what creditors will see. A free copy of your credit report is available at www.annualcreditreport.com or you can call toll free: 1-877-322-8228 or for hearing impaired consumers, TDD service at 1-877-730-4104]. Errors or accurate negative information can impact your ability to get credit and/or your finance rate.
    • Don' t spend more than you can afford. It is easy to get carried away.
    • Know how much your trade is worth (if you have one) and know the value of the vehicle you are purchasing. Information can be found in auto buying guides, the Internet, your bank, and other sources.
    • Compare current finance rates being offered by contacting various banks, credit unions or other lenders. Compare bank quotes and dealer quotes and know any limitations on the rate (e.g., only available on late model cars)

    Important Buying Tips

    • Check to see if the car comes with a warranty and, if so, what the specific protections are that the dealer or seller will provide. Remember, if you buy a car " as is" and have problems with it, you must pay for any repairs yourself.
    • Ask to have the car inspected by an independent mechanic, or arrange an inspection yourself before you agree to a purchase.
    • Contrary to popular myth, neither state nor federal law gives consumers a right to cancel a car purchase.
    • Make sure you get any promises made by the dealer or seller in writing (for example, to replace a broken tail light). Verbal promises are difficult to enforce.
    • Ask whether or not the dealer or seller offers an extended warranty or service contract. If you decide to purchase a service contract, make sure you understand what it covers and how long it will last.
    • Inquire about any prior damage to the car and its repair history. Don' t automatically accept the seller' s response as accurate.
    • Always test drive the vehicle.

    American Automobile Labeling Act (AALA) Reports

     

    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has provided these reports as an aid to consumers considering the purchase of a new vehicle. The charts list information that NHTSA received from vehicle manufacturers about the U.S./Canadian content (by value) of the equipment (parts) used to assemble passenger motor vehicles. The American Automobile Labeling Act (AALA) defines a passenger motor vehicle as a motor vehicle designed to carry not more than 12 persons with a gross vehicle weight rating not greater than 8,500 pounds and includes multipurpose passenger vehicles and light duty trucks. It does not include a motorcycle or a truck not designed primarily to carry its operator or passengers, i.e., a delivery truck. A label with the U.S./Canada content percentage and related additional information must be displayed on these vehicles up to the time of first retail sale.

    Each new passenger motor vehicle must be labeled with the following six items of information:

    1. The percentage U.S./Canadian equipment (parts) content;

    2. The names of any countries other than the U.S. and Canada which individually contribute 15 percent or more of the equipment content, and the percentage content for each such country (a maximum of two countries);

    3. The final assembly point by city and state (where appropriate), and country;

    4. The country of origin of the engine;

    5. The country of origin of the transmission; and

    6. A statement which explains that parts content does not include final assembly (except the engine and transmission), distribution, or other non-parts costs.

    The percentage U.S./Canada equipment content, as well as content percentages for other countries are calculated on a "carline" basis rather than for each individual vehicle and may be rounded to the nearest 5 percent. The term "carline" refers to a name of a group of vehicles which has a degree of commonality in construction, e.g., body and chassis. Light duty trucks are considered to be different carlines than passenger cars. A carline includes all motor vehicles of a given nameplate.

    Vehicle manufacturers must calculate the equipment content percentages for their carlines prior to the beginning of the model year. They estimate the number of vehicles and subgroups of vehicles that will be built within each carline, e.g., the number of base level and high-line models. For each carline, the calculation of U.S./Canadian content percentage also includes:

    1. The U.S./Canadian content (by value) of each item of motor vehicle equipment that will be used to assemble the vehicles within the carline;

    2. The total value of each equipment item, i.e., the price the manufacturer will pay for it (this information is typically provided by the manufacturer's suppliers); and

    3. The total number of each of the equipment items that will be used to assemble the vehicles within the carline during the model year.

    When optional equipment is offered for vehicles within the carline, the vehicle manufacturer estimates the installation rates for that equipment. For example, if vehicles are offered with a manual and automatic transmission, the manufacturer will estimate how many vehicles will be built with each transmission.

    The label must be placed in a prominent location on each vehicle where it can be read from the exterior of the vehicle with the doors closed. It may be part of the Monroney price information label, part of the fuel economy label, or a separate label.

    The tables that follow list information that was submitted to NHTSA by vehicle manufacturers. The tables include what we believe is the most important information that is displayed on the labels, i.e., the percentage of U.S./Canadian content; whether the vehicles within the carline are passenger cars or other vehicle types, e.g., multipurpose passenger vehicles or MPVs; and where they are manufactured, in the U.S./Canada, elsewhere, or in some cases both. A vehicle's type can be found on its certification label located on the driver's door or door jam.

    In addition, NHTSA has other information about safety equipment and systems that are standard or optional equipment on new vehicles on the web site www.safercar.gov. Also included on the web site are data from the agency's New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) including the relative frontal and side crash protection in new vehicles as well as a vehicle's likelihood to roll over from a single vehicle crash. Information on vehicles that NHTSA has tested in the NCAP program can be obtained by calling the agency's toll-free Auto Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236.

    If you want to review the original submission from the manufacturers or request research done on the Part 583 submissions, please contact the NHTSA Technical Information Services (TIS). The TIS Reading Room (E12-100) is open to the public during the hours of 9:30 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. (Eastern time). Users may visit the Reading Room to perform their own research. TIS staff members are on duty to assist users. Due to security, have the guard call our Reference Desk, (202) 366-2588 for an escort.

    Customers unable to visit TIS in person but requiring extensive searches of the collections are requested to put the details of their requirements in writing, authorizing a fee search for which they agree to make payment.

    Porsche announced yesterday that they would debut a light-weight version of their famous Boxster, one of the companies more popular Porsche variants, at the Los Angeles Auto Show in December.

    Porsche claim the car will be the “purist form of the Porsche sports car – light, powerful and consistently open, and very efficient.” The car will weight in at a mere 2,811 lbs making it the lightest model throughout the entire Porsche range and features a 3.4 L six-cylinder engine with Direct Fuel Injection. The engine sits in front of the rear axle for optimal weight distribution and will deliver a hefty 320bhp, 10 more than the formidable Boxster S.

    0-100kph will arrive in around 4.8 seconds where fitted with Porsche’s in house PDK Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe transmission and the Sports Chrono Package with Launch Control. The car will reach – with the roof open – 166mph.

    Porsche modeled the car on their 1953 550 Spyder, where most of the Boxster’s took their inspiration from. However, the latest incarnation is an attempt to remain truer to that earlier driving experience, hence the increased power to weight ratio and the enhanced suspension which sharpens the handling.

    The whole car looks more aggressive and will undoubtedly have significant popular appeal here in the U.S. given the relatively low cost for a sports car of this nature. While the car will be debut in December, Porsche are not mucking about with production and it will be on sale here in February of 2010. The car's recommended retail price is a smidge over $61,000. http://www.porsche.com/usa/


    The news about the Boxter comes hot on the heels of Porsche's Golden Steering Wheel award for the Panamera. The Panamera was voted by a panel of experts as Best New Car of the Year in the Luxury Performance Class.

    A Porsche press release informs that the Panamera was granted the award after extensive test driving of the Panamera and other contenders by a "50-man jury made up of racing drivers, engineers, celebrities and the senior editors of the Auto Bild Magazine Group". The award confirms Porsche as being deservedly among the ranks of the premium automotive manufacturers in the world.

    New Exotic Aston Martin One-77

     



    The Aston Martin One-77 has been a continued time coming. The super-expensive British supercar has been teased and teased, Aston alike accepting gone so far as assuming the car's anatomy on the auto appearance circuit, abandoned abrogation it beneath a bolt throughout the show. Aston Martin set up a committed website for the best able assembly Aston Martin ever, which can still be begin at www.one-77.com. In March we got One-77 abstruse specs and pre-production achievement numbers. Now the cat is assuredly out of the bag, with Aston's assuming of the final One-77 assembly car architecture at the Italian Concorso D’Eleganza Villa D’Este design-centric autoshow.
    Carrying a abject amount of a air-conditioned EU 1 actor and headed for final assembly in a bound run of abandoned 77 units, the One-77 is assuredly targeted at the blazon of attention-seeking car chump apparently not too afflicted by the all-around bread-and-butter recession currently arresting the auto industry as a whole.
    Aston Martin's abounding architecture beef was directed against the One-77's development, actuality the aboriginal absolutely all-new Aston archetypal in years. The affidavit is in the pudding, as the Aston Martin One-77 assembly archetypal aloof won one of the industry's best coveted architecture awards, the Concorso d’Eleganza Architecture Award for Concept Cars and Prototypes at Como Lake, Italy.
    Let's allocution numbers. The One-77 carries a 6.0 liter V12 deeply based on the powerplants acclimated in the V12 Vanquish and newer V12 Vantage, but reengineered absolutely for this appliance to aftermath added than 700 horsepower. Aston Martin says the One-77 was developed with DTM alternation chase cars in mind, and if the new supercar proves as able on the alley as it looks on paper, those 77 examples should be airtight up absolute quick.
    All that ability is advance aloft the poor rear auto through a new 6 acceleration accurate consecutive chiral assemblage Aston promises will crawl bottomward through the blow of its artefact line. The arresting 20 inch wheels, accustomed huge Pirellis 335mm beyond out back, blanket new Carbon Ceramic Matrix anchor technology which promises added cooling by transmitting beneath active activity as calefaction through the anchor aqueous and system.
    With a promised barrier weight of about 1500kg, the One-77 will do the 0-60 run in beneath than 3.5 seconds, with a top acceleration in balance of 200 mph. Due to the car's rarity, amount and beauty, your boilerplate Aston Martin One-77 buyer will apparently never accept abundant alley to hit 150 let abandoned 200 mph or a chase track. In an auto industry award 100-year-old companies aback activity bankrupt, is the One-77 at all relevant?
    Official Aston Martin columnist abstracts allege of "extraordinary ability and money-no-object charge to quality". It is a safe bet Aston will lose money on this car, but if the British marque can financially acclimate this storm and abide to accomplish absolutely aberrant sports and GT cars, the absolute winners are the flush enthusiast community. Three columnist releases chase account every aspect of the One-77 experience.

    The BMW Hydrogen Hybrid Cars

     


    With BMW's announcement that they're developing several models of hybrid vehicle to be introduced over the next few years a new market segment is starting to emerge - the luxury hybrid. Well known for innovation, quality, and style in the standard car market, BMW's entry into the hybrid market is sure to have a positive effect on the future of non-fossil fuel powered vehicles.

    BMW 7 Series Hybrid
    The first BMW hybrid model to be available will be in the popular 7 Series. Already in testing, this car will run on both Hydrogen and gasoline. The primary challenge of developing this kind of hybrid in comparison to the fuel cell technology that other manufacturers are using is in keeping the Hydrogen in liquid form so it's usable by the engine.

    Because Hydrogen is only liquid at very low temperatures and the natural state of the engine compartment is very hot, keeping the hydrogen from getting too hot and evaporating is a significant challenge. Issues with transporting and storing Hydrogen at fuel stations is also an issue as is making the fuel available in enough locations to give motorists enough places to refuel to make owning the car practical.

    Hydrogen Power
    In contrast to other car manufacturers who are concentrating on gas/electric hybrids with the eventual goal of producing all-electric vehicles, BMW's plan has nothing to do with electricity or the heavy and expensive batteries that storing and delivering electricity to a vehicle requires.

    BMW already boasts a car that runs completely on water and, with their proven technology that produces Hydrogen from sunlight, they believe an entirely self-sustainable fuel system using solar cells to product Hydrogen that will then power the vehicle is viable within the next decade.

    Into the Future
    The driving force behind BMW's push for Hydrogen fueled vehicles are the benefits they believe Hydrogen has over alternate fuels like gasoline, electricity, or other solid fuels. Not does Hydrogen pose no environmental threat and produce no emissions it's also a completely renewable form of energy that uses no natural resources that aren't easily replenished.

    BMW's plan to eventually produce a car that runs entirely on Hydrogen produced by boiling water with energy from the sun (through solar cells) is certainly an exciting notion. Only time will tell if they can pull it off but the incredible promise of what they're trying to do makes this writer hope that they do.

    The 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid

     


    Article at http://www.sexystreetcars.com/2008-honda-civic-hybrid-t8.html

    Integrated Motor Assist combines a 1.3-litre i-VTEC petrol engine with a lightweight, high-output electric motor that assists the engine during acceleration and at higher speeds. Then, when you're braking, decelerating or going downhill, it recharges its own batteries.

    When you bring the Civic Hybrid to a complete stop, its ingenious AUTO STOP feature automatically turns off the petrol engine to minimise fuel consumption and emissions. The car sits silently as you wait in traffic or at stop lights. Then, as soon as you release the brake, the engine restarts quietly, quickly and automatically.

    * Under certain conditions the engine will remain operational when the car is stationary.

    A rear spoiler improves aerodynamics and helps fine tune performance, while adding to the Civic Hybrid's stand-out design.

    Body-side moulding features a stylish chrome strip. Not only does it accentuate the Civic Hybrid's clean lines, it protects the doors from minor nicks and scrapes.

    The Civic Hybrid features manual tilt and telescope steering wheel adjustment and also has audio controls on the left side of the steering wheel for volume and channel selection. Cruise control buttons are located on the right side of the steering wheel.

    PANAMERA GRAN TURISMO
    Three-quarters of a year prior to market launch, Porsche has released the first official photos the new Panamera. Porsche’s unique four-seater was conceived and designed as a four-door grand touring sports car, combining numerous talents in typical Porsche style: sporting driving dynamics, a spacious interior, and the supreme comfort of a Gran Turismo. Joining the 911, Boxster and Cayman sports cars as well as the Cayenne SUV, the Panamera is Porsche’s fourth model series.

    The Panamera designers have succeeded in positioning it as a brand-new and truly different model while retaining the looks of a typical Porsche. Through its proportions, the Panamera stands out in its market segment: measuring 76 inches wide and 55.8 inches in height, it is wider and lower than comparable four-door models. The unmistakable GT silhouette is created by the car’s overall length of 196 inches and short, sporting overhangs. In its styling and details, the Panamera follows the design philosophy refined over decades on the 911 and successfully implemented on the Boxster, Cayman and Cayenne. Pure Porsche DNA and comfort for four.

    Through its design language, the Panamera establishes a new segment. The symbiosis of sports car DNA derived from the looks of a coupe, the unique interpretation of the classical saloon body and the benefits of a variable space concept give the new Porsche a truly unmistakable appearance.Striking wheel arches and the long and sleek engine compartment, with the distinctly contoured wings flanking the flat front lid, create the typical 911 “landscape” Porsche customers have appreciated for over 45 years. V-shaped seams along the hood and a rear window that tapers like an arrow to the rear also are characteristic of a sports car. Muscular shoulders over the rear wheels, the sweep of the coupe-like roofline and visible tailpipes again bear the thoroughbred Porsche DNA. An elegant roof arch extends over the generous interior.

    Thanks to the unique and sporting architecture of the interior, the car’s occupants are able to experience a cockpit-like atmosphere from all four seats. All occupants enjoy supreme comfort in both the front seats and the two contoured rear seats. The luggage compartment easily takes all passengers’ luggage; the Panamera’s variable space concept with folding rear backrests enables driver and passengers to adjust the luggage space to individual requirements. Finally, the coupe tailgate in the sporting rear end combines everyday usability with stylish elegance. Panamera built in Leipzig; powerful engines hail from Zuffenhausen Porsche has developed powerful and up-to-date engines for the Panamera, reflecting the qualities typical of the brand; the V-engines come with six and eight cylinders and output ranges from 300 to 500 horsepower. Some engines use turbocharging technology and Direct Fuel Injection, making them both fuel-efficient and very powerful. Power flows to the wheels through either a manual six- speed gearbox or Porsche’s seven-speed PDK Doppelkupplungsgetriebe, or Double-Clutch Gearbox.

    Auto Transport Shipping preparation and Inspection

     

    Before going for car shipping, you would first need to set the car fully for the process of transport. Shipping preparation first include washing of car so that any scratches, damage, and dents would be easily noticed upon its arrival. Clean out the car internally and take away all personal belongings and other things from the front and back seats. In addition, if your car has any alarm system, then it must be disabled before it is transported. Do not forget to have your car serviced before shipping, and also make sure that it is free of fluid leaks too. In case, your car leaks fluids and further loaded on a huge carrier, the fluids might also drip down onto other cars and may cause serious damage.



    Next you need to consider company’s requirements, which totally depend on moving service you choose. For instance, some businesses may ask that not more than a quarter boiler of gas be in the car’s gas boiler. Having less gas in the car is of course advantageous to you as the customer, as the shipping charges would be computed by weight by most of the companies, so the less gas your car carry, the lighter your car would be. Fold back the car’s side mirrors and take back or take away its antenna, in case if it is possible. Have your car methodically continuance before shipping, and make sure to exchanging a few words if you have any problems with the transport company. If you have a top rack on the car, you would have to take apart it prior to car shipping. As well, eliminate your toll pass and also any other electronics.

    Inspection is something really important; it actually depends on the type of auto shipping company you have chosen. Certainly some kind of inspection would be performed by the company before taking over the vehicle for shipping. This procedure would further make a written testimony, which would be kept by the company and as well offered to you for your records, ask for it in case company do not offer. This inspection study would offer data about the vehicle’s in general state, mileage, and other survival of any aesthetic damage, and would be a significant document to retain.

    The Innovative Car Technologies

     


    Over the years there have been some strange features/contraptions to have been installed on cars across the world.

    Some people would call them innovative, others may call them bizarre - the latest car feature that has caught my eye is Ford's inflatable seatbelt. It's currently only available on models in the US - but surely it won't take off worldwide?

    Don't worry though - the seatbelt isn't inflated for the duration of your journey, in the event of an accident it uses 'airbag technology' to inflate and expand around a traditional seatbelt.

    The purpose of this new seatbelt is to help reduce head, neck and chest injuries among the more vulnerable passengers.

    Other innovative technology that has recently been introduced in the 'Eco Pedal' from Nissan. The Eco Pedal is a simple feature that has been produced with the aim of cutting emissions. According to figures the Eco Pedal can reduce emissions by 10-15%, depending on the way you drive.

    There is a light on the dashboard which indicates when you are driving within the 'optimum acceleration range for fuel economy'. The pedal slightly adjusts to ensure that you keep driving at this level - it may sound strange but you can't actually feel the pedal pushing back.

    This pedal was introduced on selected models earlier this year.

    Stop/Start technology has become quite popular throughout 2009 and is another feature that has been designed to preserve fuel and cut emissions. Stop/ Start technology automatically switches off your cars engine when you are stationary - at traffic lights for example. As soon as you press the clutch again the engine turns itself back on. This enables you to preserve your fuel, which means that you'll save money when you get to the pumps.

    According to some recent research 15% of all cars will have this technology by 2015.

    The new Lexus LS600 features some innovative and highly intelligent lights. By making use of a camera sensor in the rear view mirror, the Lexus is able to detect street lamps, oncoming traffic and vehicles travelling ahead - very clever!

    The final feature I want to mention in this article is the safety-inspired 'lane sensors' which detect whether or not your vehicle begins to creep into the next lane. If this happens the device will set off a small beep to alert you...and save you from crashing into the vehicle driving alongside you!

    This feature would be especially useful if it was installed in lorries as I always find them starting to creep into my lane on the motorways!

    So, when it comes to new car features anything is possible...what's next?
