Third-Generation Toyota Prius, Bigger, Faster, More Fuel Efficient
2008-05-03 18:16:00 Toyota plans to go full-bore with third-generation Prius, bigger, faster and more fuel efficient.When someone tosses around the word "hybrid", one vehicle typically first comes to mind: the Toyota Prius. The first generation model was introduced in ‘00 as a '01 model while the second generation model came out in '03 as an '04 model.The original Prius got Americans talking about hybrid vehicles, but it was the second generation model that really set things in motion for Toyota and its aim to equip the bulk of its lineup with hybrid technology.The second generation Prius -- classified as a mid-size sedan -- manages to achieve EPA ratings of 48 MPG/45 MPG city/highway thanks to its 1.5-liter gasoline engine and its hybrid-electric system.Toyota is looking to boost the appeal and size of the third generation Prius which is due to be unveiled at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show. The vehicle will catch the disease that seems to afflict every new vehicle redesign these days: further increas...

Efficient & Earth Friendly
2008-04-26 15:48:00 Ever since the 1992 Energy Policy Act banned sales of 1.6-gallon toilets that used 3 to 5 gallons per flush, homeowners have been searching for an effective low-flow toilet. It's been an elusive hunt. Double-flushing (wasting even more water) to fully clear a bowl seemed the only solution. Over the years, wider pipe openings and pressure-assisted pumps slowly improved performance. Today we have a new generation of high-efficiency toilets that use less than a gallon of water. To help consumers find these water misers, in 2007, the Environmental Protection Agency began giving a new seal of approval to low-flow toilets. Look for the WaterSense label, awarded to any toilet that uses 20 percent less water than the standard 1.6-gallon models. "The label lets consumers know with certainty that they're choosing products that use significantly less water without worry whether those products will perform well," says Rob Zimmerman of Kohler Co. (kohler....

Chinese car buyers moving to smaller, more efficient vehicles
2008-04-19 00:39:00 Chinese car buyers moving to smaller, more efficient vehicles The Chinese auto market may be booming, but it looks as though drastic changes are on the way. Just as U.S. car buyers are shifting from large, inefficient vehicles to smaller fuel-efficient models in the face of rising energy costs, Chinese car buyers are starting to make similar changes. Most of the success by the world's automakers in the Chinese market has been in the mid to premium vehicle segments — vehicles that retail from $20,000 and up. Chinese consumers grew found of these types of vehicles because they were seen as status symbols and automakers were happy to supply such vehicles because they promised the largest profit margins. But as fuel prices continue to rise and a new class of drivers emerge, Chinese buyers are looking for smaller, less expensive and more fuel efficient vehicles. The push toward more efficient cars would also help China with its growing pollution problems. In order to m...

Mercedes boss doesn?t plan to let cost be an issue for more efficient cars
2008-04-13 01:53:00 Mercedes-Benz CEO Dieter Zetsche told Motor Trend this week that increased cost was not going to be an issue for his company to meet new fuel economy standards. Obviously getting improved efficiency out of powertrains would make them more expensive as they have to meet U.S. CAFE and European CO2 emissions limits. However, while U.S. executives like Bob Lutz are talking about adding $5,000 or more to the price to meet 35mpg standards, Zetsche looks at it differently. The use of clean diesels, HCCI DiesOtto engines, hybrids and fuel cells will raise prices. The higher initial purchase price will be offset for customers through reduced operating costs. According to Zetsche, if the cost premium can be recovered through fuel savings in the first 3-4 years of driving than customers will be satisfied. Mercedes also intends to protect their ten percent profit margins through increased efficiencies in other areas of the vehicle. That probably means that Mercedes owners will give up some feat...

Forbes top ten list of least efficient luxury barges goes to 11, I mean 21!
2008-03-31 22:03:00 After recently compiling a dubious list of the most technologically advanced green cars, Forbes is at it again. They've produced a list purporting to be the least efficient luxury cars. This bottom ten list actually numbers twenty-one cars including most of the Audi S models, BMW's M-fleet and Mercedes AMG bombers. The only car on the list not originating from the land of the autobahn is the Cadillac STS-V. They came up with so many cars by including rides that were tied with the same mileage as one position on the list. While being on the list is undoubtedly somewhat embarassing for these three German brands, the list is unfortunately incomplete and fails to include some even bigger offenders. The editors failed to catch the entire lineups from both Maybach and Bentley. Then there are of course the exotics from the likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini. Maybe next time. [Source: Forbes]
AMD launches energy efficient Phenom 9100e
2008-03-30 15:39:00 Fudzilla - AMD launches energy efficient Phenom 9100e: "Apart from the regular Quad-core Phenoms, AMD has launched an energy efficient 65W part designated Phenom X4 9100e. You probably remember AMD's Sempron EE and Athlon BE series of energy efficient CPUs; in fact, the Athlon BE is still the most energy efficient dual-core desktop CPU on the market.The new 9100e gets an 'e' suffix instead, and it's rated at 65W, unlike the plain Phenoms which suck up to 95W or 125W in higher clocked models. This is a B2 stepping part, it's clocked 1.8GHz, while the voltage is 1.10~1.15v. It's nice to see AMD is targeting this market segment, if only we could figure out which market segment this is supposed to be.Energy efficient server parts make sense, and both Intel and AMD have quad-core server parts rated well below 65W. Low-end CPUs for office and home use, such as the EE and BE parts mentioned earlier also make sense. But a desktop quad-core, well, not really. Diesel powered Aston Marti...
