Other car sites October 25, 2002 BY JOHN LIPPERT BLOOMBERG NEWS Toyota Motor Corp., the world's third-largest automaker, plans to use gasoline-electric hybrid engines in all vehicles by 2012 to increase fuel efficiency and reduce tailpipe emissions, an executive said. The gasoline-electric system emits as much as 40 percent less carbon dioxide than traditional internal-combustion engines, said Masatami Takimoto, managing director for engine engineering, in an interview at a Detroit conference. Toyota was the first to sell a hybrid, with the Prius car in 1997. The company sold 5.9 million cars and trucks last year, including 36,928 hybrids. Automakers want to cut emissions as governments tighten pollution rules, and some rivals such as General Motors Corp. are focusing on fuel cells rather than hybrids. Toyota is the only automaker capable of soon building enough hybrids to overcome the current $3,000-a-vehicle cost disadvantage against traditional cars and trucks, said Fitch Ratings analyst Chris Struve. "The only way to bring costs down is to increase production," said Struve, who is based in Chicago and studies the effect of new technology and environmental rules on automakers. "If they can pull it off, their fuel economy would be beautiful and they'd never have to worry about emissions."

Extractions: The electric system is subject to "peaks" of demand during the day, and "valleys" of low usage at night. EV use this cheap off-peak power. The rooftop solar array helps feed power into the grid when it is most needed in the daytime. Together, the EV charging overnight and solar electric rooftop array smooths the demand curve. EVs and Solar Power together provide a dynamic, powerful solution to air pollution, energy "shortage", and the problem of single-car commuting to work. Even more benefits: refinery emissions, auto exhaust, brake lining and tire particles, and oil droplets, which fall to earth and form part of our toxic "urban runoff" problem, are virtually eliminated by daily use of EVs. Use of cheap, reliable EVs for commuting could reduce our oil usage by 30% or more, and reduce our energy consumption correspondingly.

Clean Cities Vehicle Buyer's Guide For Consumers Hybrid Electric
Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) combine the internal combustion engine of a conventionalvehicle with the battery and electric motor of an electric vehicle.
http://www.ccities.doe.gov/vbg/consumers/hybrid.shtml

Extractions: Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) combine the internal combustion engine of a conventional vehicle with the battery and electric motor of an electric vehicle. The combination offers low emissions similar to electric vehicles, and the power, extended range, and convenient refueling capability of gasoline vehicles. The inherent flexibility of HEVs makes them well suited for personal transportation. Not all HEVs are alike. There are many ways to combine the engine, motor/generator, and battery. Three basic hybrid configurations are parallel, series, and split (or through-the-road) designs. In a series hybrid, the engine never directly powers the car. Instead, the engine drives the generator, and the generator can either charge the batteries or power an electric motor that drives the wheels. In a parallel hybrid, the engine connects to the transmission, as do the batteries and the electric motor, so both the engine and the generator/motor can supply power to the wheels, switching back and forth as driving conditions vary. In a split hybrid, the engine drives one axle and the electric motor drives the other. There is no connection between the engine and the electric components except "through the road."

Extractions: Various types of batteries and other energy storage mechanisms are used to store the electricity that powers an electric vehicle (EV). EV batteries must be replenished by "plugging in" the vehicle to a recharging unit. Although electricity production may make a small contribution to air pollution, an EV-a zero emissions vehicle-does not, resulting in much lower emissions per mile traveled. In 2000, nearly 7,600 on-road EVs in the United States consumed electricity at a rate that displaced about 1.7 million gallons of gasoline. Although the range of an EV (50 - 130 miles) is often limited by the weight, design, and the type of battery used, certain "niche" applications are well suited for this type of vehicle. Low mileage, high-use vehicles-those that must often wait in traffic or often start and stop-for example, are good EV applications. Although a few EV models are available for sale, most must be leased. Few EVs are available outside California and Arizona, but some manufacturers sell them nationwide. Currently auto manufacturers produce 5 models of compact cars, sport utility vehicles, station wagons, light-duty trucks, and service vans that run on electricity. View current model year electric vehicles . Some manufacturers are also producing neighborhood electric vehicles and electric bikes . These vehicles use similar battery technology and can be used in limited on-road applications. What Are the Benefits of Driving an EV?

http://www.ornl.gov/ORNLReview/v33_3_00/power.htm

Extractions: Comment on this article Researchers are improving power electronic modules and electric motors to help hybrid cars squeeze every last mile out of a gallon of gasoline or diesel fuel. When you drive the next-generation car, advanced electronics will be in charge of the vehicle's energy use. Some people are already driving hybrid vehicles designed in Japan, such as the Toyota Prius and Honda Insight. But the next-generation car likely to come out of Detroit by 2004 will get 80 miles per gallon, while maintaining the size, comfort, and performance of today's family sedan. Because less fuel is burned per mile and the energy is used more efficiently, this car will also emit less carbon dioxide and other pollutants. Power electronics, which controls the flow of electrical energy, will be the key to making the car high in efficiency and low in emissions, meeting the goals of the U.S. Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles (PNGV). Each car company has its own unique approach to vehicle design and power control. Generally, the American hybrid car will have a smaller gasoline or diesel engine, sized to meet the average power requirement rather than the peak power required in normal driving. Electric motors powered by batteries will provide extra power to the wheels when needed to accelerate the car or help it climb a hill.

Extractions: Last update: Mon Feb 17 All of the University of Michigan diesel powered equipment, including more than 55 buses, are now powered by bio-diesel fuel. This fuel, called B20, is a blend of 20% bio-diesel with a 80% low sulfur diesel fuel. The bio-diesel fuel is a soy based product that when burned produces fewer emissions. It is also a renewable energy source and reduces our reliance on foreign oil. The University of Michigan is one of the first fleets in Michigan or elsewhere to utilize bio-diesel. Note: Bio-diesel fuel is temporarily being suspended from use on campus during the months of February and March 2002. We have experienced cold starting problems with some of our diesel vehicles that were stored outside during the late December and January. These problems may or may not be related to bio-diesel. B20 will again be used in all diesel vehicles beginning again in April. Parking and Transportation Services purchased more than 100 ethanol powered vehicles in 2000, and plans to purchase more than 100 more in 2001. These vehicles, Ford Tauruses, Plymouth Caravans and Chevrolet S-10 pickup trucks are all fueled with E-85 Ethanol fuel, a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline. We also installed a 10,000 gallon ethanol underground storage tank in 2000, which enables us to fuel all of these vehicles on-site. The University of Michigan is a leader in ethanol fuel usage, as we have more ethanol powered vehicles in use than any other fleet in Michigan. Ethanol is a cleaner fuel than gasoline and is a renewable energy source. This fuel is refined from corn.

Extractions: The Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) is a low speed vehicle for master planned and suburban communities, a quiet, zero-emission alternative to a car. Unlike an automobile, the NEV has no engine, exhaust, or pollution. It's a fun, safe and stylish way for the family to travel to the grocery store, post office, or commuter train, and fulfills all of your every day transportation needs. Research shows that 50 percent of all travel is less than 10 minutes in duration. In most cases, automobiles are over-designed to fulfill our basic need for transportation. With environmental and pollution concerns at the top of everyone's agenda, more and more states are turning to alternate fuel vehicles. Arizona, Florida and California already recognize the importance of electric powered vehicles, and have authorized the use of 25-mph vehicles on roads that are limited to 35 mph. In fact, The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is currently reviewing a rule for the use of Low Speed Vehicles (LSV), on specified roads around the country. See the Fleet Buyer's Guide Advanced Technology Vehicles Database to get specifications on the neighborhood electric vehicles available today.
