For one, the exhaust only of expediency is used, for the other, he is a car part, which he wants to optimize and improve. Exhaust is among the most popular tuning tuning measures. For all types of vehicles the right exhaust parts! The exhaust system of a vehicle has the task to clean the resulting fumes and then as noise to dissipate outwards. Over the years, all exhaust systems have been optimized further. The pollution has been reduced, and on the other hand, the cars should be getting quieter. A uniform and continuous outflow of the exhaust gases shall be achieved. But now it is not in any interest to be able to drive the vehicle as softly and quietly.

So some driver is the motto: the louder, the better ‘. ” This involves but not so easy to drive a loud car, but to give their vehicle a possible individual sound. Tuning is called the optimum to get the operation out of his vehicle. Performance, a better sound and a high degree of individuality are the target of every tuning lover. Usually it always starts with the exhaust, before the rest of the car is optimized.

But also here is whether you would like to improve the sound now only or can achieve even a few more Horsepower and want distinguished once again. VW exhaust, Porsche exhaust or Audi exhaust, for almost all vehicles are the corresponding exhaust parts available. Certainly it comes to the decision a bit on the available budget, because a simple tailpipe is of course cheaper than a complete exhaust system. Only with high-quality exhaust parts, you should equip a high quality vehicle, such as a BMW or a Mercedes, for example. For many years, the stainless steel plant has been proven here. Immune against rust and other damage, the stainless steel plant is the finest way to tuning its exhaust.

DRIVe technology provides environmentally friendly driving the Swedish automaker Volvo is continuing the general trend towards environmentally friendly driving. In the 2010 model year, a model will appear thus in each vehicle class, which is characterized by low emissions of carbon dioxide and low consumption values. The so-called DRIVe technology with start/stop system and braking energy recovery is ensured, as the Internet portal reported auto.de. Rising sales of blue-motion, BlueEfficiency or EcoFlex models shows that environmental friendliness for potential car buyers is already not a foreign Word. The use of DRIVe technology it should no longer be according the Swedish manufacturer a limited version or special models. So, the environmentally friendly technology in the models will be to find Volvo C30, S40, V50, V70, S80, XC60 and XC70, which are available from 21.790 to 39.480 euros.

The diesel models are divided into three classes of CO2 emission. As especially consumption-poor (3.9 liters per 100 kilometers), make C30 / S40-/ V50 models with a 1.6 liter four-cylinder diesel including start/stop system. Thereby are also lovers of fast rides at their own expense. With 109 PS Volvo models are quite respectable and even the lowest taxation levels in Europe is achieved with just 104 g / km of CO2 emissions. Next year, the use of renewable battery charging, with up to three percent are consumed less fuel is also new. This mechanism is effective, when the gas pedal is released or pressed the brake when the gear.

And with the help of the start/stop system another five percent can be saved according to the Swedish manufacturer fuel by automatically shuts off the engine when not using the clutch.

Kittos battery changing station in the Saarland offers a number of advantages, and therefore for the award of the Saarland suggested. Auernheim – the concept of the battery changing station is created due to low current and medium-term still ranges from pure electric powered vehicles. Although sufficient currently achievable 100 to maximum 200 km for the management of daily mobility needs of most people. However longer distances to be overcome, the electric vehicle would no longer suitable, unless they take long charging times. Connected with the ranges is sufficient, but very low when compared to vehicles with internal combustion engines, the fears of the users are connected to accept mobility, with empty battery to stop etc. The battery changing station provides a way to solve this problem, by giving motorists the option, their empty battery within a short time (faster than a current refuelling) to Exchange and thus again full mobility to reach. In addition, the concept offers the advantage that prevail in electric drives faster and expensive transition technologies such as plug-in hybrids or range extender can largely be omitted. To enable battery Exchange stations, the car manufacturer must offer but standard battery sizes and Central battery compartments under the car.

If at least a large provider makes with this, the system will assert itself and other companies will follow suit. Two battery Exchange systems as prototypes at the moment can be found: the battery changing station of the global infrastructure provider for electric cars better place and the machine manufacturer and developer Dieter Kitto Saarland. The battery-change station by Kitto is advantageous compared by the media rather well-known system by better place for the following reasons and therefore offers a higher potential for success: space by only a container for the entire battery changing station, there is a very low Space requirements.
