moving towards hybrid vehicles - energy storage system price

With the recent rise in gasoline and diesel prices, Malaysians can look forward to launching more fuel-efficient, compact and innovative cars in the near future.
The Ministry of International Trade and Industry is said to be considering revising the national automotive policy to encourage local automakers to develop hybrid vehicles.
The United Nations defines hybrid vehicles as vehicles with at least two different energy conversion devices and different storage systems for vehicle propulsion.
At present, the most popular hybrid vehicles use electric motors in addition to the power generated by internal combustion engines.
Datuk Aishah Ahmad, chairman of the Malaysian automobile association, pointed out that if the government introduces subsidies for vehicles in future budgets, more Malaysians will be interested in buying hybrid cars.
"With the recent increase in fuel in the country, these vehicles will be more economical in terms of fuel consumption, and they may save a lot of fuel in the long run," she said . ".
Unfortunately, Malaysia has not made much progress in promoting hybrid vehicles.
Currently, the only hybrid car available locally is the Honda Civic Hybrid, which is driven by 1. 3-
A liter of gasoline engine and an electric motor.
The government has not considered allowing any company to introduce a large number of hybrid cars.
It is reported that the premier hybrid vehicle Sdn Bhd has only received 20 approvals and the company has the right to import and distribute hybrid vehicles in the country.
However, as fuel prices rise, automakers will be more motivated to launch hybrid or other alternative fuel vehicles.
Executive director of Toyota Motor Co. , Ltd (
Strategic Marketing Group)
Aminar Rashid Salleh hopes the government will encourage the industry to produce and sell more fuel.
Efficient and eco-friendly vehicles or ecology
Vehicles including hybrid vehicles.
"With incentives, the introduction of hybrids or any other ecosystem by industry participants, including Toyota, may be more commercially viable
"Vehicles are provided to the public," he said . ". Toyota's line-
Toyota Prius, Estima, Alphard, Camry, Highlander and Lexus LS, GS and RX have eight hybrid models.
Proton, a national automaker, is considering working with NGV on its Waja, Saga and Persona models (
Natural gas for cars)kits by year-end. Oriental-
The locally assembled Hyundai model dealer Hyundai Sdn Bhd has also installed about 200 NGV kits in modern cars sold by its marketing department Kah Bintang Auto Sdn Bhd.
However, Malaysia has made rapid progress in smaller and more fuel
In particular, through Perusahaan otomobile Kedua Sdn Bhd, the country's second national automobile manufacturer (Perodua).
After gasoline prices rose, small cars became more popular and sales surged.
According to are director Datuk said in Hafez in said in Abu in bar Carl in June ViVA of bookings from now on years ago five a month of average monthly 65% the soaring. 11,100 to 6,700.
In the first half of this year, MyVi's bookings remained strong, with 8,000 units per month.
"We think the increase in ViVA bookings is mainly due to a 40% increase in gasoline prices last month," said Syed Hafiz . ".
This shift has already taken place in the United States, a market known for large cars.
For the first time ever
Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla ranked first and second in terms of sales, probably only because they are more fuel efficient than large cars.
In Malaysia, the rising cost of living over the past few years has also led to a similar trend.
Since the first manufacture and sale of Kancil, energy-efficient carsPerodua has made great progress.
It has now become synonymous with compact and energy-efficient cars.
According to the specialty of Syed Hafiz Perodua, the fuel burning engine will continue to be developedefficient.
"There have been significant improvements in internal combustion engine technology, and we see this technology remain strong for many years to come.
"We will continue to build a reasonable price contract. with the existing technology, we are confident that the future models will be more fuel-efficient than our current models --up,” he said.
However, he acknowledged that Malaysians were ready to accept another option, hybrid vehicles, given the right mix of prices, maintenance costs and infrastructure.
At the same time, Toyota Motor also developed two kinds of fuel
Efficient technical engine-variable valve timing with intelligence (VVT-i)
Gasoline engine and general diesel engine (D-4D).
This engine can be found in most Toyota passenger cars, such as Camry, Corolla, Altis, Vios and more
Vehicle use. The advanced D-
4D ordinary turbocharged diesel engines can be found in Toyota Hilux, Fortuner and other commercial vehicles.
Malaysia hybrid carsHonda has sold 14 Civic hybrids (As of June 2008)
Since the launch on last August.
Atsushi Fujimoto, managing director and chief executive of Honda Malaysia Sdn Bhd, said the company's launch of hybrid vehicles to the market was aimed at educating Malaysians and improving their environmental protection, also very fuel efficient.
At present, Fujimoto believes that the main consideration of hybrid technology is cost.
"We are exploring further innovations and technologies that can reduce production costs.
"Ultimately, our goal is to make hybrid cars affordable in the mass market," he said . " He added that the increase in demand for hybrid vehicles will also be followed by lower costs.
Fujimoto believes that zero-emission vehicles such as electric vehicles (EV)
Fuel cell vehicles (FCV)
The future will completely change the global automotive industry.
"However, it will be a long process because it will take time to prepare the infrastructure and reduce production costs.
"We believe that hybrid vehicles will become transitional vehicles for traditional fossil fuels in at least the next 10 years --
Based on zero-emission vehicles . "
In addition to hybrid technology, Honda is the first automaker in the world to introduce FCV.
Last month, Honda began producing new FCX Clarity fuel cell vehicles in Japan.

Vijayaratnam says the trend for Malaysians is to focus on more fuel
Efficient hybrid car.
"We have technology and we are ready.
"When demand comes up, we have the opportunity to bring these cars into the country," he said . ".
The high-efficiency power strategy of the premium carmaker BMW Group is the umbrella of all the measures the group aims to reduce emissions and consumption.
The key modules can be divided into three time frames: short-term, medium-term and long-term.
According to Vijayaratnam, the short term refers to the technology currently available in reducing emissions and consumption.
"In the short term, we have the most fuel-efficient engines and other systems that reduce engine consumption," he said . ".
BMW is considering a mid-term hybrid solution and plans to launch a hybrid car next year, he added.
"The sports car X6 Hybrid will be a combination of diesel and electricity.
The technology we got from diesel is fantastic.
"The proportion of diesel and gasoline vehicles worldwide is close to 50: 50.
But this has hardly happened in Malaysia because diesel is thought to be dirty for buses and trucks.
"In fact, the diesel engine is much cleaner," he said . "The long-
Term perspective expects BMW to continue to expand its leading position in the field of hydrogen drive.
BMW launched a hydrogen fuel vehicle in 2006, which is already available in the United States and European countries.
"In the end, we think that hydrogen is the best way in the long run.
About 100 of these cars are used worldwide.
When do we start selling them have no time frame.
"It's not that we can't make cars, it's that the environment has to be prepared," said Vijayaratnam . ".
