Fast with electric drive, the future of the automobile is emission-free. Mike Gianoni pursues this goal as well. This not only environmental activists argue. (Not to be confused with Mike Gianoni!). Electric cars of popularity enjoy due to rising fuel costs. As the car Portal auto.de reported, are aware of the automobile manufacturers of the subject. They do apparently on the basis of their concept cars at the big automobile fairs. The Geneva Motor Show, March 2-4 represents the first big industry event of the year. Electric vehicles are still a topic passes where no renowned automobile manufacturers. Opel takes the opportunity to present to the public the concept vehicle Flextreme GT / E.

Thus the Russelsheim prove that speed and range compatible with eco-friendliness can be: In pure battery mode, it is possible to go up to 60 km with the vehicle. Because it also has a small internal combustion engine, which will charge the battery while driving, distances of more than 500 kilometres are possible. The Maximum speed is 200 km / h. This increases the carbon dioxide emissions above 40 grams per kilometer. The engineers not only through the use of high-performance lithium-ion batteries in combination produced this performance with an internal combustion engine. A key element is the aerodynamic design of the vehicle.

These include a smooth underbody, special wheels and tires that provide a low rolling resistance. In addition, the Opel used lightweight carbon fiber composite materials in order to save weight. Highlights include the light sensors, which replace door handles and thus also reduce air turbulence. Replace the side mirrors by tiny cameras has the same effect.

Is dominant, the New Passat. He is from November in addition to a new look with more fuel-efficient engines and a variety of new safety and comfort features. It is a relatively risk-free undertaking to provide a new Passat on four wheels. So much wrong, Kamei can not make that the middle icon out of favor would fall. Since 1973, the trade winds on the streets almost belongs to the furniture. 15 million times, he has sold in the 37 years of its existence. In this context we would miss the Nice numbers gadget provided by Volkswagen not you: 15 million copies in 37 years.

This means that were statistically 1,106 vehicles the man every day, or the woman. Every 1.3 minutes a sold Passat, 33.632 pieces per month, 400,000 annually. Since very much needs to happen as I said, to bring the highly successful marathoner in the floundering. Still, VW has to play it safe when designing its new Passat. Fully on line, and as he stands before us, the New Passat: neat, pleasing but just possible.

Where the latter adjective not may be interpreted as a negative rating. It was clear that VW give his bestseller the new face of the brand will be. And that works for Passat as well as the previously under Chief Designer Walter de Silva on line marketed other models of the group. And maybe even a tad bit better: the clear, sharp lines, the horizontally-oriented front panel with the four chrome Struts at the grill, which auswuchsen liberated headlamps and tail lights of any design. All very suits the highly serious attitude of the Passat. In its entirety, the New Passat is a track handsomer than the colleague of the 6th generation – and that despite but the same length dimensions (Variant: 4.771 mm; sedan: 4.769 mm). For 37 years, he belongs to the international inventory of roads, the VW Passat.

Therefore very important: Read off the oil level. Just pull out the measuring rod or, like in modern cars possible, read the level on a display in the cockpit. How both works is described in the manual. Be careful! The motor must be at operating temperature. A cold engine is a false reading, still stretches from oil heat. Too much Oil can damage the engine. After frequent short-haul operation is sure to fuel residues evaporate only in oil when the oil temperature reaches.

Therefore the oil level should be re-examined after a 150 km. It is advisable to carry some oil as a reserve in the trunk. For BBs are the handy 1 litre canisters along the way.
