Some Words about Cars in General:

The hydrogen powered FCHV (Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle) was developed by Toyota in 2005.
The design of modern cars is typically handled by a large team of designers and engineers from many different disciplines. In the United States the average passenger car emits 11,450 lbs (5 tonnes) of carbon dioxide, along with smaller amounts of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen. Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) is now starting to appear in production vehicles such as the 2007 BMW MINI.

The Background of the Vehicle:

Although Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot is often credited with building the first self-propelled mechanical vehicle or automobile in about 1769, this claim is disputed by some, who doubt Cugnot’s three-wheeler ever ran, while others claim Ferdinand Verbiest, a member of a Jesuit mission in China, built the first steam powered car around 1672. Although several other German engineers (including Gottlieb Daimler, Wilhelm Maybach, and Siegfried Marcus) were working on the problem at about the same time, Karl Benz is generally acknowledged as the inventor of the modern automobile. Although various pistonless rotary engine designs have attempted to compete with the conventional piston and crankshaft design, only Mazda’s version of the Wankel engine has had more than very limited success. Santler from Malvern is recognized by the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain as having made the first petrol-powered car in the country in 1894[8] followed by Frederick William Lanchester in 1895 but these were both one-offs.

General Car Safety:

Cars have many basic safety problems - for example, they have human drivers who can make mistakes, wheels that can lose traction when braking, turning or acceleration forces are too high, and mechanical systems subject to failure. Early safety research focused on increasing the reliability of brakes and reducing the flammability of fuel systems. Some vehicles have a high center of gravity and therefore an increased tendency to roll over.

Some Words about Motor vehicles in General:

The costs of automobile ownership, which may include the cost of: acquiring the vehicle, repairs, maintenance, fuel, depreciation, parking fees, tire replacement, taxes and insurance, are weighed against the cost of the alternatives, and the value of the benefits - perceived and real - of vehicle ownership. Gasoline engines have the advantage over diesel in being lighter and able to work at higher rotational speeds and they are the usual choice for fitting in high performance sports cars. On average, today’s automobiles are about 75 percent recyclable, and using recycled steel helps reduce energy use and pollution. Acceleration, braking, and measures of turning or agility vary widely between different makes and models of automobile.

The The story behind of the Motor vehicle:

In 1924 the American national automobile market began reaching saturation. An automobile powered by an Otto gasoline engine was built in Mannheim, Germany by Karl Benz in 1885 and granted a patent in January of the following year under the auspices of his major company, Benz & Cie. In 1897 he built the first Diesel Engine. Even so, only major makers could afford high costs, and even companies with decades of production, such as Apperson, Cole, Dorris, Haynes, or Premier, could not manage: of some two hundred carmakers in existence in 1920, only 43 survived in 1930, and with the Great Depression, by 1940, only 17 of those were left.

General Vehicle Safety:

The death toll is expected to nearly double worldwide by 2020. This makes clear the often-ignored fact road design and traffic control also play a part in car wrecks; unclear traffic signs, inadequate signal light placing, and poor planning (curved bridge approaches which become icy in winter, for example), also contribute. Early safety research focused on increasing the reliability of brakes and reducing the flammability of fuel systems.

Gasoline engines have the advantage over diesel in being lighter and able to work at higher rotational speeds and they are the usual choice for fitting in high performance sports cars. Continuous development of gasoline engines for over a hundred years has produced improvements in efficiency and reduced pollution. The costs of automobile ownership, which may include the cost of: acquiring the vehicle, repairs, maintenance, fuel, depreciation, parking fees, tire replacement, taxes and insurance, are weighed against the cost of the alternatives, and the value of the benefits - perceived and real - of vehicle ownership. Transportation is a major contributor to air pollution in most industrialised nations.

The The story behind of the Automobile:

Karl Benz’s “Velo” model (1894) - entered into an early automobile raceAn automobile (via French from Greek auto, self and Latin mobilis moving, a vehicle that moves itself rather than being moved by another vehicle or animal) or motor car (usually shortened to just car) is a wheeled passenger vehicle that carries its own motor. Benz and Daimler seem to have been unaware of each other’s early work and worked independently. Approximately 25 Benz vehicles were built and sold before 1893, when his first four-wheeler was introduced. The first American car with a gasoline internal combustion engine supposedly was designed in 1877 by George Selden of Rochester, New York, who applied for a patent on an automobile in 1879.

General Motor vehicle Safety:

Structural changes such as side-impact protection bars in the doors and side panels of the car mitigate the effect of impacts to the side of the vehicle. Despite technological advances, there is still significant loss of life from car accidents: About 40,000 people die every year in the United States, with similar figures in European nations. Airbags, a modern component of automobile safetySignificant reductions in death and injury have come from the addition of Safety belts and laws in many countries to require vehicle occupants to wear them.

A few Words about Motor vehicles in General:

Most modern gasoline engines are also capable of running with up to 15% ethanol mixed into the gasoline - older vehicles may have seals and hoses that can be harmed by ethanol. Most automobiles in use today are propelled by gasoline (also known as petrol) or diesel internal combustion engines, which are known to cause air pollution and are also blamed for contributing to climate change and global warming. Acceleration, braking, and measures of turning or agility vary widely between different makes and models of automobile. Because they can deliver a high torque at low revolutions electric cars do not require such a complex drive train and transmission as internal combustion powered cars.

The Background of the Vehicle:

Emile Roger of France, already producing Benz engines under license, now added the Benz automobile to his line of products. In either case François Isaac de Rivaz, a Swiss inventor, designed the first internal combustion engine which was fuelled by a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen and used it to develop the world’s first vehicle to run on such an engine. Although various pistonless rotary engine designs have attempted to compete with the conventional piston and crankshaft design, only Mazda’s version of the Wankel engine has had more than very limited success. Development of automotive technology was rapid, due in part to the hundreds of small manufacturers competing to gain the world’s attention.

General Motor vehicle Safety:

Many cars now include radar or sonar detectors mounted to the rear of the car to warn the driver if he or she is about to reverse into an obstacle or a pedestrian. Airbags, a modern component of automobile safetySignificant reductions in death and injury have come from the addition of Safety belts and laws in many countries to require vehicle occupants to wear them.

Diesel engined cars have long been popular in Europe with the first models being introduced in the 1930s by Mercedes Benz and Citroen. Transportation is a major contributor to air pollution in most industrialised nations.

Indirect fuel injection was first used in aircraft engines from 1909, in racing car engines from the 1930s, and road cars from the late 1950s. Approximately 25 Benz vehicles were built and sold before 1893, when his first four-wheeler was introduced.

Automobile accidents are almost as old as automobiles themselves.
