VW Golf

Volkswagen is taking this opportunity and bringing diesel electric hybrid to the United States by releasing a version of the VW Golf which will be officially unveiled sometime in the latter half of 2009 and intended for the 2010 model year. This is going to be the first American version of a diesel electric hybrid vehicle, making it quite a sensation already though it has at least a year before its official release.

VW Golf (more readily known as the Rabbit in North America) has stated that the company aims to achieve a combined fuel economy of 112.49 kilometer (69.9 miles) per gallon US with carbon dioxide emissions of only 89 grams per kilometer (0.62 mile). In comparison, Toyota Prius delivers 88.5 kilometer (55 miles) per gallon with carbon-dioxide emissions of 104 grams per kilometer.

Unfortunately, diesel electric hybrid cars are very expensive to produce. If you combine a diesel electric hybrid engine, (which costs around $2,000 more than a petrol engine) with a hybrid powertrain, the end result is a very expensive system. Besides that, specific systems to treat the Diesel Electric Hybrid exhausts would increase the unit costs.

For years, VW has showcased a various concept of diesel electric hybrids vehicles. Which might give us the impression that Volkswagen dealers will soon have them in their showroom? But I think it will not happen.

The spokesperson of Volkswagen who recently said that Great Britain’s Autocar that the “hybrid diesel is still not really good business sense.” The spokesman continued by saying, “the higher cost of clean diesel technology will make them even more expensive than gasoline-electric cars. The markets where the hybrid cars are most well-known are also the place where diesels are least well-known.

Keep in mind their business reality when you see a diesel electric hybrids concept car at the show.

At the same time, do not expect Volkswagen and others to stop showing of diesel electric hybrids combo, as they did in the year 2008 when it introduced the Golf TDI Hybrid concept and its 69 mpg at the Geneva Motor Show. Several months later, the green car fans are really in the foam about the possibility of plug-ins Golf Twin Drive diesel electric hybrids with lithium-ion batteries.

Or, how about last year at the Frankfurt show with the unveiling of the bullet-shaped L1 diesel electric hybrids that dished out a whopping 157.8 miles per gallon, had a top speed of 100 mph and an “impressive” driving range of 416 miles. And that wasn’t all. Three month later in Los Angeles, VW took the wraps off the Up! Lite, a three-door, four-passenger city car with a diesel hybrid system capable of 70 mpg on the highway.

Of course, we wondered why VW placing all the time, money and engineering resources to develop this concept vehicle, when not long after the Golf TDI Hybrid Concept was revealed in 2008, the company cited in Auto, Motor und Sport that they will not build car because it would be “too expensive.”

Oh well. That’s show business.

According to Volkswagen, the electric motor offers enough power to get the vehicle moving from a standing start. The diesel hybrid engine will only engage at higher speeds or extra acceleration (if required), as soon as the vehicle is in motion. Beside that, in order to improve fuel economy, the Golf TDI also rides lower than the standard Golf on an improved suspension and makes use of a unique front bumper to reduce drag.

Diesel hybrid concept: the Volkswagen Golf TDI

However, reports indicate that while Volkswagen is planning to produce a diesel hybrid, it won’t likely be this one. Citing the high cost of building a Diesel Hybrid as a factor, the company is anticipated to be going with a turbo—supercharged gasoline hybrid instead.

When it comes to high-end luxury sedans, you can not do much better than a Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The top-of-the-line four-door Mercedes offers massive amounts of comfort, gadgetry, performance, and style – just about the whole thing except fuel economy. The 2009 Mercedes S-600 model only achieves 11 mpg (4.7 km/l) in the city and 17 mpg (7.2 km/l) on the highway.

But the company showed off a concept S-Class Diesel Hybrid that can deliver more than 40 mpg (17 km/l) at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2007. The Mercedes-Benz S300 BlueTEC Hybrid concept has a 2.2-liter diesel engine that drives the wheels most of the time, along with an electric motor to assist with acceleration. Overall, it produces about 224-hp and a whopping 413 lb-ft (559.32 Nm) of torque – numbers that are comparable to a powerful V8 engine.

The S300 BlueTEC Hybrid concept also uses Mercedes’ version of the AdBlue urea injection system, which allows the vehicle to meet the strictest of emissions standards. This is another potential 50-state diesel-powered car.

Many companies compete to improve better innovation to create more unique Diesel Hybrid concepts. At the Paris Show in 2006, Citroen, French automaker showed off its C-Métisse diesel hybrid concept car. The fire-engine red concept car was a low-slung four door coupe with swooping lines and huge wheel arches.

Better yet, the C-Métisse Diesel Hybrid very unusual setup – a 2.7-liter diesel V6 in the front of the car drives the front wheels, while two electric motors drive the rear wheels. According to Citroen, the V6 puts out about 208-hp and the two rear motors deliver about 295 lb-ft (399.51 Nm) of torque each. That’s enough to drive the vehicle from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in about 6.2 seconds.

The car achieves about 45 mpg (19.1 km/l) with this setup. It can also run up to 20 mph (32.2 km/h) on electric power alone, where it operates in “Zero Emission Vehicle” mode. Citroën says the concept is very environmentally friendly, and is equipped with particulate control systems.

With their excellent performance, great fuel economy, and proven durability, why wouldn’t automakers produce Diesel Hybrid vehicles? Substantially higher initial cost may be the biggest factor, but as fuel prices climb, a Diesel Hybrid just may be in our future.

Volkswagen Jetta is believed by critics that the Volkswagen Jetta does not take advantage of the ability of diesel performance. Los Angeles Times transmissions blame. Why? That’s because for the maximum economic performance are not lazy, but sleepy. The existence of an additional engine breaks around power Bloomberg said. Business Week says that this is a phenomenon of the turbo-lag. He also said that the exits of significant and annoying punching the gas remove the car lag.

Volkswagen Jetta TDI is available in two transmissions. Two transmissions are 6 speeds manual and 6 speed dual clutches DSG transmission with manual mode and sport. DSG made to provide comfort performance automatic stick. You can put the stick up, notch and take control slide if you like.

Volkswagen Jetta TDI – A Wagon with MPG

The agreement in the purchase of green cars can be in the Volkswagen Jetta TDI as a wagon. Hybrid car buyers request bids for the sedan has more space but not a SUV. Prius rumors often get, but Toyota is very popular among the press to keep image. Are you tired of waiting for the first hybrid car? Volkswagen Jettawill sing a song for you. The cart that has 40 mpg on the highway!

Carts occupying 33 spaces behind the rear seat and the seat folded around 67. Auto blog says that the Volkswagen Jetta offers unparalleled utility in the market and fuel efficiency so you do not have to pay a premium for small mpg. The interior is fitted do not have a high value. Cnet does not like that. He said that the interior is well designed by a robot, a blind person or an algorithm. They are hoping more for texture and color. However, they prefer cluster features has information about the speed, efficiency, audio and control facilities of comfort.

Volkswagen Jetta TDI to overcome the existing barriers in California and Bin 5 emissions standards. This is the reason why the existence of this opportunity. Mercedes Bluetec system is different from the Volkswagen Jetta TDI. Mercedes Bluetec urea injected into the exhaust system and converts the Nox to be water and nitrogen, whereas Nox in Volkswagen Jetta TDI is stored with the catalyst and then held the emissions into the reservoir until the engine burn. Injection fuel used to refuel piezoelectric common rail. This allows a higher injection pressure than the mechanized system. Clean diesel technology developed by Audi and Mercedes Benz. This is a breakthrough on emissions to neutralize and filter the strong particles.

All the low emission diesel engines cannot compete with hybrids. This is interesting. This will be a milestone for the diesel history if you want to graduate from California Tier 2 Bin 5 standard. But this is only for new cars. Squeakiest standard is for clean with a Honda Civic Hybrid, Toyota Prius, SULEV, and including the Volkswagen Jetta TDI. Diesel engine maker will provide the difference between the SULEV and Tier 2 Bin 5. Given that the standardization of the two vehicles are cleaner than cars and trucks before. This statement is supported by the federal government. Government has the power as the Volkswagen Jetta TDI vehicles that advanced Lean Burn Technology. Volkswagen Jetta TDI was qualified to 1300 dollars the federal income tax credit pursuant Energy Act 2005. During prime time and when the money comes back to the IRS, the clean diesel is ready.

As the popularity of hybrid cars continues to escalate, many manufacturer competing to provide best hybrid car. One of the car manufacturers is German car manufacturer – Volkswagen. In 2006 the company announced plans to create their first Volkswagen hybrid, the Volkswagen Jetta. It teamed up with Ford and Honda to build Volkswagen hybrid Jetta. This Volkswagen Hybrid was to have an electric motor to help run a gas engine likes Honda Civic Hybrid.

Like most hybrid cars, Volkswagen Hybrid Company promises an economical use of fuel in Volkswagen Jetta. Volkswagen Hybrid Jetta can power up its engines on up to 60 mpg in city driving, while a typical SUV might travel 15-20 miles per gallon. That’s mean Volkswagen Jetta actually three times less gas for the same distance. In addition, this Volkswagen Hybrid has two engines make this car can decreasing smog by 90 percent and uses far less gas than standard vehicles.

Its reduced exhaust emission so can be minimized the power mulcting backpressure buildup and make the vehicle’s exhaust system in less strain, meaning a flat-out performance out of the vehicle. The suspension system, moreover, is that of the original Volkswagen Jetta, so expect the same superior car handling.

Not like most electric cars, Volkswagen Hybrid Jetta sports technology can recharge its batteries as you drive, so there is no need to plug in every 50 to 100 miles. Also, most electric cars cannot go faster than 50 to 60 mph, while hybrids can, especially when both the electric and combustion engines are harnessed to power up the car. With this rate of economized fuel consumption, the hybrid Volkswagen Jetta offers savings on gasoline dollars.
