The all-electric Mercedes-Benz Citaro runs locally emission-free and almost silently, taking electric mobility using city buses to a new level. The 12-metre variant will celebrate its world premiere in September at the IAA Commercial Vehicles show, with the start of series production also taking place this year. The new Citaro offers an impressive standard of energy efficiency. The intelligent modular concept for its battery and charging technology is similarly compelling.

Clean energy is not just a utopian dream. A strategy that paves the way to emission-free mobility which conserves resources cannot focus solely on powertrain technology - it must also explore alternative fuels such as biogas or environmentally neutral fuel production.

The particularly sustainable drive concept of the FlexGreen-painted urban crossover study features an impressive combination of a CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) and petrol-powered drivetrain and two electric motors. The new technology keeps CO2 emissions low at only 89 g/km.

Customers of Spitzer Volkswagen still have a few years to wait until the best parts of the automaker’s product line are available in our showroom. The manufacturer has been touting its commitment to having electric vehicles in its lineup by the 2020 model year. In the grand scheme of things that isn’t all that far away. However, VW owners looking forward to not having to control a vehicle for themselves will need a bit more patience.

It is always exciting to watch the future take shape. Especially when you have the exclusive opportunity to get involved alongside the influential players at Porsche's top-secret design laboratory in Weissach. A first encounter with the Porsche Mission E Cross Turismo.

The Rimac C_Two is a pure electric GT hypercar as capable on track as it is crossing continents. A car as bespoke as it is user-friendly.

Snow crunches under the winter tyres; the sound is like glass splintering. Slowly and tentatively, the wheels of two vehicles roll onto the frozen lake of St. Moritz: a Porsche 911 ST rally vehicle from the 1970s, closely followed by the latest GT2 RS. Both vehicles represent the peak performance of their respective eras. In the seventies, the 911 ST was super lightweight, a radical racing machine, a full-throttle experience. Today’s GT2 RS is a high-tech virtuoso, taking a trip into the parallel world of what is feasible, an explosion of contradictions. So what do they have in common? Their analytical appeal and robust functionality. Pure emotion comes next, when the driving begins. It’s time.

The strengths of the four-door four-seater include an emotional design with striking off-road elements as well as an innovative display and operating concept with touchscreen and eye-tracking control. Measuring 4.95 metres in length, the concept vehicle has all-wheel drive and an 800-volt architecture, prepared for connection to the fast charging network.

The joint electric offensive by Porsche and Audi was launched ten months ago. Now the premium manufacturers are deepening their development partnership and achieving concrete results. The goal of the cooperation, which will create a pioneering architecture called the Premium Platform Electric (PPE), is to shape the mobility of tomorrow together and to put future electric vehicles on the market more quickly.

In the upcoming years, electro mobility will become a mass phenomenon. Judging by the current situation, this statement may seem foolish, as electric vehicles comprise only a small niche in most countries and achieved a global market share of only 1.1 percent in the past year. However, Norway provides a window into what the not-too-distant future of electro mobility could look like; in June, for the first time, more electric vehicles were registered than conventionally powered cars (53%). Many experts agree that by 2040 electro mobility will have penetrated the most important markets and relegated combustion engine technology to the fringe.

Određenu količinu kinetičke energije posjeduje svako tijelo koje se giba, pa tako i tijela koja rotiraju. Kod regenerativnog kočenja na principu zamašnjaka se, kad je potrebno usporiti vozilo, predaje određena količina energije u zamašnjak na račun kinetičke energije vozila, tj. kinetička energija gibanja vozila se pretvara u kinetičku energiju zamašnjaka.

Prije nepunih desetak godina u školama je pokrenut izborni predmet Informatika. Svrha mu je bila naučiti djecu upotrebljavati kompjuter i koristiti se internetom. Starijim građanima ostavljeno je na volju hoće li koristiti net-banking, e-građanin, Google ili ne. Ali za mlade dvojbe nema. Moraju svi. Prozvalo se to informatičkom pismenošću.

Na prezentaciji Futures 3.0 Nissan se odvažio kupcima ponudi besplatnu energiju za njihova električna vozila. Testirali su ovaj način tijekom protekle 2017. godine u Danskoj. Kako je vrijeme prolazilo, ta se ponuda proširila na sve kupce voznih parkova diljem zemlje. Koristeći dvosmjerno punjenje, kupci mogu povući energiju iz mreže kako bi pokrenuli i vozili svoj automobil ili kombi te mogu „prodati” energiju natrag mreži, ukoliko im ona trenutno nije potrebna, koju onda koriste ostali.

Slovačka tvrtka Aero-Mobil najavila je predstavljanje prvog letećeg automobila u 2020. godini. Planirana je proizvodnja od 500 komada, a svaki će se prodavati po cijeni od 1,2 milijuna eura. Većina stručnjaka koji se bave mobilnošću dočekala je tu najavu s (pod)smijehom. Svi se slažu u jednome: budućnost osobne mobilnosti u doglednoj budućnosti prije svega će se odvijati po zemlji, odnosno po cestama.

Nissan je objavio istraživanje koje će vozilima omogućiti tumačenje signala u mozgu vozača, čime će potpuno promijeniti način na koji se ljudi koriste automobilom današnjice.

Neke priče o budućnosti zapravo se temelje na idejama iz prošlosti. Ovo je jedna od njih: potkraj 19. stoljeća američki filozof i povjesničar Henry Adams objavio je svoju autobiografiju koja je sadržavala napredna promišljanja o svijetu toga vremena. Adams je naglasio da je već prije šeste godine svjedočio kako su stvari koje su se prije smatrale nemogućima postale realnost: prekooceanski brodovi, vlakovi, telegraf te fotografija. Stoga je njegovo mišljenje da nemoguće ne postoji, što nas dovodi u današnje vrijeme.

Vilinski konjic jedan je od najopasnijih i najučinkovitijih lovaca životinjskog svijeta. Budući da u određenoj mjeri može predvidjeti kretanje svog plijena, može ga pratiti čak i ako ga nakratko izgubi iz vida. Tijekom lova taj kukac koristi neku vrstu autopilota uz pomoć kojeg nagonski odabire te nepogrešivo prati najbolju lovinu. Za  takvo ponašanje zaslužni su CSTMD1 neuroni. Istraživači Medicinskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Adelaideu u Australiji proučavaju ponašanje vilinskog konjica kako bi pilotiranu vožnju učinili sigurnijom i udobnijom u budućnosti.

Minijaturni bijeli Audi Q2 manevrira naprijed i natrag u ograđenom prostoru dimenzija tri puta tri metra. Nakon nekoliko manevara zaustavlja se točno na mjestu označenom za parkiranje. Ne zvuči osobito neobično? Ipak, pogledate li malo pažljivije, vidjet ćete što je u tome tako spektakularno.

U budućnosti fokus neće biti samo na optimiziranju mrežnog komuniciranja unutar automobila već prije svega u nastojanju da se omogući razmjena informacija između što većeg  broja vozila na cesti.

Što napraviti da stariji sugrađani poštuju crvene svijetlo na semaforu za pješake? Naši stariji sugrađani uporno i svjesno ignoriraju crveno svjetlo na semaforu za pješake. Vidno ne žureći, s rukama na leđima, dosađujući se, s puno slobodnog vremena dolaze do semafora, utvrde da im je upaljeno crveno svijetlo i tada nastaje kaos u njihovim glavama.

Zadnjih dana i mjeseci svjedoci smo jedinstvenog fenomena u pravosudnom životu. Svaki i malo poznatiji kriminalac ili političar oslobođen je optužbe. Oslobođeni su i njegovi jataci. Jer kako teretiti njih ako je oslobođen ON. Pri hapšenju zvučnijih imena bili smo u prilici gledati i hapšenje 15 do 20 nezvučnih im jataka koji su se s njima udruživali u zločinačke grupe za izvlačenje svega i svačeg. Kako to kod nas obično na kraju biva, slučaja nema, tako nema niti razloga za terećenje drugih pa na slobodu izlaze svi, serijsko je to izlaženje na slobodu svih do sada uhapšenih.

Vau, 13 a možda i 15 milijuna kuna za dva automobila. Mislio sam da su Ferrari, Porsche, Rolls-Royce, McLaren, Jaguar ili možda Aston Martin sa svojom cijenom od cca 200 – 250 tisuća eura najskuplji automobili današnjice. Prevario sam se. Eto upravo ovih dana naš premijer i predsjednica pokazali su nam da postoje i oni za njih specijalno pravljeni od milijun eura pa i više. Takvi su, kažu, blindirani.

Kako objasniti ženama za volanom da ne koriste messenger da ne pišu statuse i da ne šize na loše mailove? Niti jedna druga životna situacija ne prisiljava čovjeka da neprekidno trpi onog ispred sebe kao u prometu cestovnih vozila. Ujutro otvaramo oči obavljamo rutinske stvari, sve je pod kontrolom do trenutka kada zalupimo za sobom vrata automobila i uključimo se na platformu koja se zove – promet.

Svi motori u novom modelu Audi A7 Sportback standardno se opremaju novim blagim hibridnim sustavom (MHEV) za veću udobnost i učinkovitost. Uz dva V6 motora, ovaj sustav koristi 48-voltni primarni električni sustav. Remenski alternator starter (BAS) radi zajedno s litij-ionskom baterijom i postiže performanse obnavljanja kinetičke energije kočenja do 12 kW. Pri brzinama između 55 i 160 km/h, ovaj coupe sa četiri vrata može krstariti u slobodno kretajućem režimu s ugašenim motorom koji se može brzo upaliti preko Bas sustava.
