Honda is on its way to adopt Hybrid systems : Hybrid systems in the next five years will come in first place among alternative fuel technologies used in the automotive industry. This conclusion has drawn through recent study by KPMG’s Global Auto Executive survey 2010: industry concerns and expectations to 2014.
According to the forecasts of most automakers and auto dealers who participated in the KPMG study on a global scale, this year will be sold from 1 to 2.5 million vehicles running on alternative fuels (not including hybrid cars), while sales of hybrid cars range from 750 to 1.25 million .
Honda has also plans to enter in Hybrid systems and in the middle of summer the sale of hybrid sports car Honda CR-Z – c i-VTEC engine volume of 1.5 litres (114 hp), auxiliary electric IMA (14 hp) and six-speed manual will hopefully start internationally.
The main advantage of hybrid car in front of petrol and diesel engines is the ability to use the energy generated at the least the brake pedal to charge the batteries, which are then in the mode of traction motor helps the car accelerate.
The main technical drawback of hybrid systems is the need for additional cooling of the batteries. In addition, the cost of hybrid cars exceeds the cost of analogues, working on internal combustion engines, at 7-47%.
Growth in sales of hybrid cars is expected to a greater extent due to popular brands, rather than the opportunity to save on fuel and reduce emissions into the atmosphere, car market. Experts say so
