The British maker Axon Automotive has developed a new plug-in hybrid vehicle which can run on 100% electric mode for use in city and either using a small gasoline combustion engine for longer distances or bioethanol.

The company announced that its plug-in hybrid car two seater emits less than 50 grams of CO2 per kilometer by combining electric mode with the gasoline.

“In designing lighter car with good aerodynamics is possible to reduce emissions,” said Dr. Steve Cousins, director of Axon Automotive. “With a plug-in hybrid car does not have limitations on autonomy and we can maximize the benefits of electricity without the weight and cost of large batteries.” Read the rest of this entry »

The luxury division of Nissan lead to the production cleaner and more efficient model in its history. The Infiniti M35 Hybrid will combine a spectacular 3.5-liter V6 engine with an electric thruster. It goes on sale in 2011.

The Infiniti M35 Hybrid will have a new hybrid propulsion system, developed exclusively inside the Japanese group, and comprising an electric motor and a set of two clutches. The first one is located between the heat engine, a 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6, and the electric thruster. The result is that all components are operating on a single shaft to the rear differential.

The electric motor Hybrid Infiniti M35 has a double function: to complement and add extra power to the V6 engine in the “Power Assist” when maximum acceleration is required, and to act as a generator. In addition to recharge the batteries of conventional form, is also capable of recovering the energy generated from deceleration and braking phases. The Infiniti M35 Hybrid can move only in electric mode under certain conditions. We sense that only at low speed in urban environments.

The Infiniti M35 Hybrid will also introduce new technologies such as a battery pack “rolled” lithium-ion. The Japanese manufacturer says that occupy the same space as conventional, but offer twice the power for its better cooling.

For the moment, little more information you provide for your Infiniti M35 Hybrid. As we have said, will arrive in spring 2011 to complete the range of renewed M sedan.
