Fast with electric drive, the future of the automobile is emission-free. This not only environmental activists argue. 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.

Five tips for buying a used car, the purchase of a new car can or want to only very few buyers afford. For the used car market is booming. Make sure buying a cheap car but does not become a nightmare, some tips should be followed. So the 1 car buying works) what are you doing there? There are many great car portals in Germany and also the supply of used cars is correspondingly broad. Therefore, it is important to set some guidelines before beginning the search, which provide for a narrowing of the range.

Fundamental points such as the automobile can be but also characteristics such as age, mileage or air conditioning are well suited to minimize the selection. (2) Private or not private often made the cheapest deals from private providers. This is the simple reason that they don’t have bought the car, to sell it profitably. In addition, they provide no guarantee. Who can live with it, which makes a bargain here often. If you are unsure it is however always, on the Car portals offered by commercial providers to look at and so prefer to pay somewhat more, but to have also a certain security in the back.

(3) Patience is important it always pays not to charge off and consider the next best offer. Who takes the time and compares the offered cars, which can quickly determine differences and receives a better overview of the market. A car in the shortlist, a visit is essential. (4) Many sellers are masters of the test drive is to make your car better than it is actually. This is perfectly normal behavior. Therefore, the statements which the seller makes, should be checked always. Here commercial and private providers take most anything. A test drive is a must, ideally also a second person, who is familiar with the technology. Helpful it is to drive a used car check and check to allow, whether everything is wrong with the car. (5) The contract of sale of commercial seller give a car only against a contract out and it is also important for the buyer. Private providers, this sometimes falls under the table. Here be sure to insist that a contract is completed to the bilateral security. There are sample contracts free of charge on the Internet. Without a contract, the potential buyer looks better from the processing and continues on the search.

The long-vehicle or the difference between a tandem for the football team, and a necessary solution for mammoth transports. Yes, exactly! The speech is of heavy transports be carried out preferably in the evening or at night, or during off-peak times on German roads. With a length of up to 23.60 m, with a width of up to 3 m and a gross vehicle weight of more than 40 t, heavy transports are a gigantic spectacle. Even goods that exceed these limits, can be carried across as transport from A to B by Germany. This impressed in addition to the remarkable performance of the driver of such transports, as the enormity of the goods to be transported. Huge published transformers, construction cranes and components for wind turbines affect years the viewer such as genetically engineered accessories from the popular Fisher-technology box of the 70s and 80s. But the huge or particularly heavy goods transport is not only on the streets a considerable challenge. Also within a company, it may be already tricky if, for example, a voluminous or loading of component must be carried by a Hall in the next.

But until a transport also internally, a company is possible, a bulwark of logistical, organizational and structural engineering excellence is not uncommon necessary, because with a stroller, so gigantic goods can be most difficult transport. At the beginning is always the question with what vehicle and this special challenge which equipment can be implemented in practice. A suitable towing vehicle is found, it must now analyze the required heavy duty trailer must meet the requirements. It is to comply with necessary safety provisions and to take into account the static conditions to meet specific additional requirements for the heavy load racks in practice delivers what it promises. A failure of the trailer during transport, could see Circumstances bring fatal consequences. Metal construction companies such as metal construction-Maas from Nordenham in the North Sea, specialise in the construction of individual transport systems and heavy load hanger and have grown the requirement to develop single special designs depending on the requests, to construct, and ultimately to make.

In doing so, the possibilities are almost endless and leave room for individuality. Flat cars, transport tables or special solutions such as the A cars for the transport of large components and metal sheets are implemented in Nordenham and found worldwide in use. After the metal construction company has sent the heavy duty trailer on the journey, the driver now takes over the sometimes the most important part of the overall company heavy”and shoehorned the precious cargo skillfully to curves and even through the eye of a needle. While he does not often so some feat. Probably, it is really easy to build a tandem even with 11 men and therefore across the country to cycle, as a heavy load of a Carry out the factory premises.
