Explanation Hybrid fuel Technology

In addition to the vehicles that use two or more different devices for the drive to hybrids vehicles, including the use of different energy sources or input types ("fuels") using the same engine, but to avoid confusion with hybrids as described above and use to avoid the right words, it is perhaps more correctly described as dual mode vehicles:
• Some vehicles have been modified to use other energy sources when it is available, such as cars running on LPG last (LPG) and diesel to be amended to Waste Vegetable oil, which was not processed into biodiesel to run.
• Flexible-fuel vehicles can be mixed with a mixture of input fuels in one tank
• typically gasoline and ethanol, methanol, biobutanol.
• Bi-fuel vehicles, LPG and natural gas are very different from petroleum or diesel and can not use the same tanks, so it would be impossible for an (LPG or NG) flexible fuel system build. Instead, vehicles with two parallel, feeding the fuel systems a built motor. Although the space doubles cost in some applications, the range and flexibility where (LPG or NG) infrastructure is incomplete, an important incentive to buy.
• Power-assist mechanisms for bicycles or other human vehicles are included (see motorized bicycle).
• Some electric trolleybuses can be between a diesel on board, and overhead power switch on the basis of conditions (see dual mode bus). In principle, this could be combined with a battery sub-system to have a true plug-in hybrid trolleybus announced, even though it appears from 2006, no such construction to create.

Honda Civic Hybrid Interior

The Civic Hybrid is almost identical to conventional gasoline sedan, redesigned for papers for the model year 2006, Rave. Honda has made some changes to this successful model. Standard equipment is on par with the gasoline Civic EX high finish. The hybrid comes with power-assisted doors, windows, mirrors and good that the seats be adjusted manually. A navigation system is the only factory option.
The blue backlight instrumental panel is divided into two levels.

The upper level, in line with the view of the driver over the steering wheel, has a digital speedometer, fuel gauge and temperature display engine. In the lower deck behind the switch, telescoping steering wheel is relatively small and displays the tachometer, fuel consumption display, a hybrid gauge, as are the hybrid battery is recharged (using regenerative braking) or used to help the gas engine. An idle-stop flashing, when the gasoline engine completely closed to prevent the combustion of fuel when the vehicle stands.

Switch gears are standard, as opposed to the Prius joystick rebound.
Although the Civic Hybrid scores of style, finish and ergonomics, the cabin is not so good for the hold and comfort rank on the back seat. The rear legroom is 1.4 inches with the overhaul of 2006, the narrow, when it is loaded with three adults, has been reduced. The Honda Civic Hybrid 10.4 cubic meters of cargo space. To make room for the battery-hybrid system, Honda has eliminated the folding seats on the Civic Hybrid. Consequently, the storage of long items are not shared between the trunk and rear seats.

Honda Hybrid Coupe

Honda's hybrid coupe, the CR-Z, has its world premiere at the North American International Auto Show last week.

The CR-Z combines a gasoline-electric hybrid with a manual six-speed transmission in an elegant coupé body. Honda expects the new coupe will change the perception of hybrid, says the new car has adapted a driver-oriented chassis and engine.

The exterior design CR-Z is a concept to develop a line corner hat and a wide track to the car a sporty look.

Honda Signature design features, including the two levels in the trap rear window and sloping roof.

Teams CR-Z is a manual transmission with a gas-electric engine for the first time since the five-speed manual 2003 Honda Civic IMA and says that this is possible only because of its flexibility IMA-Parallel-Hybrid System.

The gearbox is a 1.5-liter engine with four cylinders connected and is a key element in the uniqueness of the CR-Z. Nature revvy motor is located with an additional 78Nm torque by the electric motor 10 kW, between the engine and transmission improvements planned.

The 1.5-liter engine with the power and torque of the parallel hybrid IMA system provides an output of 91kw and 174Nm torque combined total.

The peak torque figure is identical to the 1.8 liter Civic and CO2 emissions of just 117g/km 35g/km lower.

Second generation (2006–present) Honda Civic Hybrid

The second generation Civic Hybrid is based on eighth-generation Honda Civic. The following is a list of changes that were made:

* Last day of the fourth-generation Integrated Motor Assist (IMA).
* The camshaft profile has been increased to 93 min rising power hp (69 kW) @
6000 rpm.
* Last day for the three steps i-VTEC and VCM (Variable Cylinder Management),
allows you to deactivate four cylinders during deceleration. In this mode, the
car is running only on electric power.
* Removes the option of a manual transmission.

2009-present Honda Civic Hybrid (U.S.)

* Increase the EPA estimated fuel economy of 40 mpg (U.S.) (5.9 L/100 km, 16.94
km / L) in the city, 45 mpg (U.S.) (5.2 l/100 km and 19.23 km / L), the road
* Update 15-inch alloy wheels (later featured on the Civic DX-G in Canada as
well)

Consumer Reports published an article in April 2006 that HEVs would not pay for themselves over 5 years of ownership. However, there was a misunderstanding of the premium "hybrid" twice. When corrected, the Honda Civic Hybrid Toyota Prius and has a payback period of just under 5 years.
This includes conservative estimates of depreciation (as a further depreciation of a conventional vehicle seen, although this is not the current standard) and ultimately lead to higher gas prices. In particular, the contribution of Consumer Reports takes $ 2/US gallon for three years, $ 3/US. Gallon for one year and $ 4/U.S. Gallons last year. As recent events have shown, is a volatile market and difficult to predict. For 2006, gas prices were $ 2 $ 3 low low average of about $ 2.60/US gallon.

First generation (2003–2005) Honda Civic Hybrid

The first generation Honda Civic hybrid was based on the seventh generation Honda Civic. Following is a list of technical features:

* 1.3-liter single-cam air i-DSI lean-burn combustion cylinder VTEC cut-off
system, which up to three cylinders, to no longer permitted to operate during
the delay. The engine produces 85 hp at 5700rpm and 87 lb ft • torque at 3300
rpm.
* 15 kW (20 hp) brushless permanent magnet assist motor, a generator during
deceleration and loads (recharges) batteries.
* 120-volt nickel-metal hydride 6.0 · A h capacity.
* Transmission Honda Multi Matic continuously variable S or 5-speed manual
transmission (the latter only in USA).
* SULEV or optional AT-PZEV certification by the California Air Resources Board
(CARB).
* Tires with low rolling resistance tires (P185/70R14) on aluminum wheels, and
regenerative braking.
* The electric power steering.

INTRODUCTION HONDA CIVIC HYBRID

The Honda Civic hybrid is a hybrid version of the Honda Civic Sedan. There a continuously variable transmission and Integrated Motor Assist hybrid system similar to that of the original Honda Insight has. Integrated Motor Assist uses the power assist hybrid technology.

The Civic Hybrid was introduced in February 2002 as the year 2003, on the seventh generation Civic basis. With the conventional Civic, she received updated styling for 2004. The second generation Civic Hybrid is based on eighth-generation Civic, with some stylistic differences between JDM and USDM models. At the end of January 2009 exceeded the worldwide turnover of all Civic Hybrid 255 000.
