Cloud data will be implemented for secure traffics

Gothenburg ,- Volvo use Cloud data which will be implemented for secure traffics technology.

Volvo is joined by the Institute of Transportation Sweden and Norway , to build a " network " of information that is useful for security . When the car hit a potentially harmful , such as a slick , large holes , or severely damaged , the car will send the data to the cloud and sent to the cars that would pass .

Of course this is not easy . Cars were sent information must also use the same network . Cloud itself is a sort of data storage space that can be accessed anywhere through the Internet .

Described in more detail , the car will detect the danger of sensors which resulted in a car security system working . For example, slippery roads stabilizing system that makes the wheels should work . From here the data will be processed and shipped immediately to the Cloud .

Volvo new luxury car presents to fight Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series and Audi A8

Swedish car brand, Volvo announced that they are developing a new luxury car. This car was made to be a rival to the German trio of Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series and Audi A8.

Volvo Chairman Li Shufu announced that the new model will likely be built on the platform Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) which is also used to build the next generation of the S80.

The possibility of this car will be named by the S100 and will be larger and more luxurious than the S80 or S80L though.

In China, it is likely the car will be built at the Volvo factory in Chengdu, but Li, who is also the chairman of Geely said that they have not decided whether to export cars to other markets or not. He was also silent about the possibility of the machine to be grafted into this car.

Could be, the machine that will be used is a new engine. Because some time ago Volvo has just introduced a family of four-cylinder engine, named the 'Drive-E' after intending to get rid of 6 and 8 cylinder engines.

But Li's plan revealed in direct conflict with statements made by the President and CEO of Volvo Hakan Samuelsson in April when he insisted that this brand does not have a plan to build a luxury sedab unattractive as a target for Volvo.

"We do not have the ambition to enter the segment in which we will compete with vehicles that have a V8 or V12 engines. We do not believe it would fit with our brand image," he said.

Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co Ltd itself is currently the owner of the Volvo brand. They bought Volvo from Ford in 2010.

The system of Stop & Go Pilot will be more popular

Frankfurt , - system of " Stop & Go Pilot " will be more popular and socialized and many car producers will compete to build and realize that.

Automobile manufacturers and suppliers of components work together to make the car otonomos , allows this technology to be marketed as soon as possible . Call it , Daimler AG , BMW , Nissan and Volvo parts supplier Robert Bosch together .

Mercedes reportedly preparing system of " Stop & Go Pilot " for the S - Class by using ultrasonic sensors 12 , five cameras and six radar sensors all over his body . - Sensor in the sensor can follow the speed of the vehicle in front of him , including stopping and steering control to stay on the right track . In Germany , it is offered as an optional completeness with price 2678 euro .

adaptation
Google dream to make otonomos car , a car that could do the journey alone to the appointed place , is expected to remain far from expectations . But the offer of Mercedes and other brands , such as BMW and Volvo can be enjoyed at the market in the near future .

" Otonomos not materialize overnight . Motorists need to adapt to this technology , " explains Jochen Hermann , Director of Driver - Assistance System in the Mercedes - Benz reported by Bloomberg , last weekend .

Still hard to accept the fact bahawa car driving robot statistically better than humans . According to the research institute in Germany Bast , more than 90 road accidents due to human factors . German losses incurred due to accidents on the road to reach 30 billion euros in 2010 .

" If the individual mobility persist , otonomos very important . This is the only way to prevent traffic congestion while ensuring safety on the road , " Said Peter Fuss , Ernst & Young consultant in Frankfurt .

Last November , BMW says ready to introduce the latest parking system for the 5-Series sedan . This technology allows the car to park itself in the land available , avoid car dents due to crashing .

Robert Bosch also been showing similar technology in Suttgart , Germany , April, dikonrol parking system via remote . Meanwhile , Audi developed a technology that allows the driver to descend on the home page > The car will be parked in a location sendir available .

Nissan , last week said it was ready to bring the technology to market otonomos later than 2020 . All aiming to prevent or reduce the occurrence of accidents on the highway !

European Car of the Year 2013 in list will be released

Cars from Asia and the Americas will host the European fight to be the best. It is not known what car would be the best car.

Dozens of cars are now being fought in the blue continent, Europe. The latest fight is competing for the title as the best car in Europe in 2012. Various cars from various brands and countries participating in the colossal battle.


Who are the candidates the European Car of the Year 2013? Here's the list:

Firstly,  Audi A3 as the best car and then secondly, BMW 3 Series and then it's followed by Chevrolet Malibu. The latter's  Dacia lodgy, Fiat 500L, Ford B-Max. Don't forget we still the next,  Honda CR-V,  Hyundai i30, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia cee'd,  Kia Optima, Lancia Flavia, Mazda6, Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Mercedes-Benz SL, Mitsubishi Outlander, Mitsubishi ASX / Aircross Citroen / Peugeot 4008, Opel / Vauxhall Adam, Opel / Vauxhall Mokka, Peugeot 208. I believe you like the next, Porsche Boxster, Range Rover, Renault Clio, Rapid Skoda / Seat Toledo, Smart ED, Subaru Impreza, Subaru XV, Subaru BRZ / Toyota GT86, Tata Vista, and the next from Toyota Auris, Toyota Prius Plug-in, Toyota Prius Plus, finally there are from Volkswagen, such as Volkswagen Golf, Volvo V40, Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid.


But at least the past two years, the electric car has always been Europe's best cars. In 2011, Nissan LEAF to be the best car, later in this 2012 Opel Ampera has a base similar to the Chevrolet Volt winning the title.

But for the best car in 2013, the dominance of the electric car can almost be predicted will not happen again. For candidates in the ranks of the best car there is only smart ED electric car. Environmentally friendly cars such as hybrid also comparatively few.

Only the Toyota Prius and Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid can even have these cars beat the dominance of diesel and petrol-engined car to be the best.

How it worksThese air bags use sensors 7 are planted on the bumper. Function, detect collisions and immediately sends a signal to the computer to trigger the air bag inflates. For this, the hood hinges fitted with differing release mechanism system, the pyrotechnical. Function, raise the hood height of 10 cm as well.


Well, the air sacs of the gap tersebutlan out. Shaped like the letter U to the conditions in the area of ​​the pillars of a higher level. The process of the air bag inflates Hanaya in hundredths of a second.

SpeedSystem is active only at a speed of 20-50 kph. This figure is based on a survey that said 75 percent of accidents involving pedestrians occurred at 40 kph.To assure optimal activation of these features work and on target, a series of tests performed. "We developed a computer simulation technology and mannequins (dolls). Tests performed on various configurations," explains Thomas Broberg, Senior Technical Safety Advisor, Volvo Car Corporation (VCC).Earlier in 2010, VCC has launched a pedestrian detection feature that automatically activate the brakes. Technology can prevent collisions below 35 kph despite the driver off guard. While at high speed features work as closely as possible to reduce the speed. With this addition to the impact of bias minus the lowest level.

Volvo developed a safety device is based on the mission: There will be no pedestrian who died or were seriously injured when hit by the latest Volvo products in 2020 ".

Volvo's technology start-stop, must turn off engines to save fuel

GUTHENBORG,- technology start-stop, must turn off engines to save fuel. Conditions like this will certainly cause problems in the transmission of power from the engine memidahkan duty to the wheels.

Volvo's technology start-stop, must turn off engines to save fuel

One of the characteristics of the automatic transmission, fuel consumption is more wasteful than the manual transmission. On the other hand, manufacturers are also not easy to install one of the trends of technology used today to save fuel is, the start-stop. The reason, the automatic transmission, torque converter must continue to operate while the vehicle is stationary so easy to administer.

Such conditions, when the driver stepped on the gas pedal when it went on, certainly not straight road car. Because the machine must be lived then, to operate the torque converter and transmission. Hassle!

Therefore, installation of start-stop system on the transmission otomotik rated by the manufacturer's reputation. For example, as did Volvo start-stop system installed on a D3 turbo diesel engine, 5-cylinder, 2.0 liter. It is said that if the system is installed on the machine, fuel consumption is equivalent to 1.6-liter engine.

Transmission of 6-Acceleration

Starting in early September next week, Volvo Cars of the special handling of passenger vehicles would put the start-stop technology in the automatic transmission 6-perepatan on model S60, V60, V70 and S80.

"Installing technology start / stop the automatic transmission of the challenge is greater than the manual transmission. Volvo has introduced a start-stop systems on manual transmission. The technique made Volvo engine to life when the driver must move the right foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator, "said Peter Mertens, Senior Vice President of Research and Development, Volvo Cars.

He added that with the technique Volvo, Volvo performance automatic transmission coupled with start-stop system, the same as the conventional version. "The car was immediately accelerate when the engine of life," he added.

Electric Pumps

To turn off the engine and turn on automatically, Volvo uses brake pressure measurement. The system is programmed directly off the engine when the car stopped (0 km / h). Next use an electric pump to maintain pressure on the transmission fluid when the engine off (temporarily).

Other combinations, Volvo adopted a piezoelectric injector to produce an accurate pulse injection through a high pressure. Furthermore, if the car is driven uu ... tasty, turbohcharger is set to generate torque from low speed to high speed. This is the result!

Start-stop system used on the Volvo D3 2.0-liter engine that produces 163 PS and 400Nm of torque at S60. 5-cylinder engine principle is the same with 2.4 liter diesel engine, but its volume by shortening langkah.Tujuannya diturunakan to optimize fuel consumption.

Phil runs for seven years using six-axle of Volvo FM

Northampton - Phil runs for seven years using six-axle of Volvo FM. He worked for EBC Brakes as a consignor. Phil had just returned from the Netherlands recently. The busy schedule took him around Europe such as Holland, Bristol, Leeds and Hawick. And being able to reach around 2,700 miles a week.

An experienced truck driver Phil Moore recently completed a 1 million mile journey by truck Volvo. Hebatya, this trip uses only one clutch only, without ever being replaced.
