The Swedish automaker – Volvo – announced the test on the open road of flywheel technology during the second half of 2011. The flywheel technology, which provides a four-cylinder engine the acceleration of a six-cylinder unit, according to Volvo would decrease fuel consumption up to 20 percent. With this system of kinetic energy recovery system during braking next generation Swedish SKF developed and funded by the Swedish Energy Agency, the driv…

Kinetic Energy Recovery System is the Flywheel Technology and Volvo using it. Here is brief information about KERS. What is Kinetic Energy Recovery System? Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) is a regenerative braking which has an energy recovery mechanism or an automotive systems use under acceleration for kinetic energy of a moving vehicle when it is recovered from breaking and stored in a reservoir. When the car is under breaking process, i…
ion 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. Be…
By: Johan Young The concepts of electric and hybrid vehicles have been around for a long time, even before the invention of the gasoline engine. Few moving parts and simpler technology gave the electric automobiles a head start. And issues with the electric automobiles technology provided opportunity for hybrid technologies to make improvements. However, the development of the internal combustion engine revolutionized modern transportation as…
