Nissan's first ever Hybrid car Fuga/Infiniti M Features and Price

Nissan Fuga/Infiniti M Hybrid car
Nissan, one of the world's largest Car manufacturer's has now come up with their first ever gasoline-electric car. This new Nissan hybrid car, that was launched recently is named as Fuga in Japan but it is going to be sold as the Infiniti M in the United States and a few other markets.

Nissan is aiming to be the leader in the zero-emission arena by introducing the first mass-scale electric car in this year, but it should also be noted that Nissan lags rivals Toyota Motor Corp and Honda Motor Co by more than a decade in offering a proprietary hybrid model.

So far, Nissan has been selling a small number of Altima hybrids in the United States using Toyota's hybrid system to clear regulations in California. Now they come up with a solution for it, Nissan's new Fuga/Infiniti M hybrid uses lithium-ion batteries produced by Nissan's battery unit, Automotive Energy Supply (AESC), held jointly with NEC Corp.

According to Nissan, its one-motor, two-clutch hybrid system would achieve far better fuel economy, at a much lower technical cost compared with hybrid leader Toyota's complex, two-motor "series parallel" system. The Fuga hybrid gets the best fuel economy of about 19 km/litre among high-end gasoline-electric sedans.

Nissan's hybrid system has a structure similar to that of Volkswagen AG , mounting an extra clutch that separates the electric motor from the engine to allow for driving using only electric power when the battery is charged. The car, Nissan's Fuga Hybrid, starts at 5,775,000 yen ($71,470).

While now the best hybrid models save only 30 % of fuel.

Unlike the majority of the similar models, debuting novelties are based on a rear-wheel platform and have not two electromotors, but one. Transmission – with two clutches. But as a whole, allegedly, the design will be easier and easier, than competitors.

New S-class- most economic Mercedes-Benz!

S 500 Plug-in Hybrid

The Mercedes-Benz will bring to Frankfurt the most economic S-class in the history which is called S 500 Plug-in Hybrid. Yes, for now this car only concept but what – the huge car spends for each 100 km of a way only 3,2 l of gasoline! Ponder only – the expense of a huge S-class makes only 3,2 l Certainly, this car is put in action not by a standard internal combustion engine. As it is possible to understand from the name, before us a hybrid, and with modern litievo-ionic batteries which can be recharged from the usual electric socket connection. Thanks to it the car is capable to pass in a city about 30 km, using exclusively the electric power (capacity of the electromotor makes 60 h.p.). When accumulators will be discharged, action will be entered by petrol motor V6 in volume of 3,5 l.

S 500 Plug-in Hybrid

Thus, despite the ridiculous expense in 3,2 l, S 500 Plug-in Hybrid possesses rather decent dynamics. The maximum speed of the car is limited at level of 250 km/h, and time of speedup from 0 to 100 km/h occupies all 5,5 sec! Here that the electromotor with its huge twisting moment means!

And consequently two additional seats superfluous will not be – economical Frenchmen should estimate it. If to compare Peugeot RCZ to the primogenitor it is possible to notice that at a coupe the centre of gravity began to be more low on 40 mm in comparison with a hatchback is should be reflected in roadability positively.

Under cowl Peugeot RCZ which official premiere is planned to Frankfurt, there will be a 1,6-litre petrol motor with a turbo-supercharging which gives out 200 h.p. This capacity should suffice to be accelerated from a place to 100 km/h for 7,6 sec.
