While energy was discovered very early by the humans, its applications as a driver of the mechanization was an invention, that we still leverage in the form of engines of all kinds which propel our vehicles. The controlled combustion of the energy fuel at high rate has led to the development of more advanced engines that can deliver refined outputs. The carbon fuel engines emerged as the creative turfs to play upon, for the automotive engineers and enthusiasts and they keep on developing resounding efficiencies to make the vehicles more robust and smart.
Almost invariably, such refinements have been in the segments of diesel and petrol fuels and mileage, power, torque are the components that have been manipulated in a positive and advantageous manner. Of late, the prospective scarcity of hydrocarbon fuels has led the shifting of the focus on more smart options like the electric – battery vehicles. Diesel electric cars are the hybrid variants that have been developed to generate an optimizing mix of the robustness of the hydrocarbon fuels and the consistency of the battery power. While the initial thrust is delivered with the diesel or petrol, the mid run is carried on the battery power. This combination saves the precious and expensive carbon fuel and also keeps the environment clean and healthy.
Satisfactory efficiencies from the petrol and diesel cars
The hybrid technology is nascent in that it needs to be replicated in an economical manner; if the real and thorough success is to be achieved. The open market is therefore abuzz with the demands of more efficient petrol and diesel cars. With the invention space still confined for the hybrid technology due to high and abnormal costs, most of the automotive firms of repute around the world are busy churning out carbon fuel models that are boasted of more power and output efficiencies. The mid size consumer segment has done really well in terms of affordable costs and optimum efficiencies that are satisfactory atleast.
Breakthrough ‘fuel cell technology’ for the battery operated cars
The space of pure electric cars is still making substance as the engineers struggle to generate perfect combination of effective power through an electrically powered engine. Some prototypes are however ready but the cost tags are high here also! In the larger picture, the scene is an emerging one and we can find some revolutionary inventions in the battery technologies that are definitions in them. The frontline fuel cell technology has much to offer and replace the traditional lithium cells that are also somewhat vulnerable to adverse ambience parameters like temperature, vibration and the like.
Diesel electric cars – optimizing efficiencies with high cost!
In the last decade, the hybrid automotive engineering has been focusing on the fluent and seamless adjustments of the double powertrains that have two be housed in such vehicles. While the success has been evident through a number of prototypes and market models, it is mostly in the space of petrol hybrids. The hybrid diesel electric cars are rather less worked turfs for the cost gets exponential to the get the system going. In the diesel variant of hybrid technology, both the components, electric motor/battery a diesel powertrain/internal combustion makes the cost very high and therefore decreases the market feasibility.
