Toyota Indonesia Recommend Hybrid Technology

Toyota Prius IndonesiaPT. Toyota-Astra Motor conducted a workshop "The introduction of Toyota's Hybrid Technology" to journalists at the Bridgestone Proving Ground, Karawang. Indeed, this technology has been developed by the automotive world, even Toyota has been expanding since 1997 through Toyota Prius sedan as the first hybrid product and so far the top in marketing has sold 2.68 million units.

"Besides being more environmentally friendly, hybrid technology is also one option to overcome the lack of fuel," said Joko Trisanyoto, Marketing Director of PT Toyota-Astra Motor.

He explained that, as usual, every new technology, there must be a concern in the community because there is uneven understanding of the technology. "Because of that, Toyota gave this learning. Hybrid or hybrid technology is the merger of two sources of motive power, namely the electric motor and gasoline engine."

Hybrid technology has four types of systems work. The first, the type series. Rotating the motor gasoline generator to supply power to the battery as the energy source of electric motors driving the wheels. Second, the type parallel with motor gasoline as the main drive wheels and electric motors only helps acceleration. Third, the type of series and parallel, in which hybrid technology with the addition of the "power split device" constantly adjust the ratio of gasoline or electric motor power to the wheels. Also can drive the vehicle only by an electric motor alone, and Toyota use this system in its hybrid vehicles. Finally, plug-in hybrid system with a large capacity battery can be charged with electricity "home" to expand the use of electric motors and reduce the use of motor gasoline.

Toyota Prius is now in its third generation hybrid engine type is applied parallel + series. This technology has several advantages such as more economical and low emission levels, the system performance of this type is more effective. Because, it automatically and regularly, the battery to power the motor can be recharged by the gasoline engine. Therefore, this technology brings Toyota in hybrid vehicles.

Fuel Consumption More Efficient in Treating Three Components

Various trigger rising prices of fuel oil (BBM) indeed should we respond by making improvement in many ways. The following article focuses on the components of care that affect fuel consumption. That is, with more attention to the condition of 3 important components for combustion systems: spark plugs, air filter and fuel filter.

These three components must be in top condition. Spark plugs should be able to sprinkle a good spark. While the air filter and fuel filter should be cleaned frequently. Moreover, if the summer is increasingly accelerate the air filter dirty because of dust that is inhaled. Impurities are also easily attaches to the fuel filter because the filter is there to prevent impurities in the fuel mix in order not to get into the combustion chamber.

If they were not working properly or in dirty conditions, there was a condition known as incomplete combustion. Fuel into the combustion chamber is not completely burned out. So that, if calculated, the engine power output is not balanced with the fuel coming out.

That is why the condition of the spark plugs, air filter and fuel filter is not okay in the end lead to wasteful consumption of fuel. Not only that, unburnt fuel was going to go wasted with flue gas. When a car with this engine condition tested emissions, dump gas must be very bad. Could be, its emissions exceed a predetermined threshold and ultimately bad for our air quality.

The easiest way to keep these components is to always perform periodic servicing. Mechanic will check and clean or replace the last three components are already to be replaced. Examination should also be done when symptoms appear faltering engine. Indicates a clogged engine fuel supply to the combustion chamber is well most likely triggered by a dirty fuel filter. Perhaps also because one of the spark plug is damaged/dead.

The Relationship between RPM and Fuel Consumption

Hubungan antara RPM dan Konsumsi BBMMany have suggested that shifting to a higher position performed at maximum torque (maximum moment). The effect is to fuel consumption. This opinion is absolutely right. Therefore, the following tips may be one of us who want to enter for efficient use of vehicles. Shift gear (transmission) that it will make the proper fuel consumption more efficient.

Easy to do so. First, consider the technical data of your car. See the information on Maximum Torque. The manual contains a description of this data. Usually, written with units of feet/lbs, feet-pounds, or Newtonmeter (Nm). Each machine has a different maximum torque. Typically, the rate of torque (moment) is always associated with the engine rotation rate (rpm).

Example, technical data on the book written manual maximum torque: 200Nm/3750rpm. This means, the highest moment of 200Nm occurs when the engine spins as much as 3750 per minute.

In this example, means that we should do when the gear shift range of numbers indicates 3750 rpm. Rpm figures can be seen in the tachometer, which is located on the dashboard of a car.

Digit rpm on the tachometer is also important when we consider not only the gear change to a higher position. To streamline the fuel consumption, while speeding down the road maintains the engine speed in the range of the maximum torque. Because, that's when fuel supply is in accordance with the output of the engines and power needed to drive the car.

Toyota Engine Plant Expansion

Toyota Ekspansi Pabrik MesinToyota Motor Corp. will invest no less than 14 billion yen (6 billion baht) in Thailand to increase the plant's annual production capacity of a gasoline engine Corolla. Additional investment to increase production of 100,000 units per year so that total production of 840 000 units a year so the machine. It also adds 200 new workers complement existing now as many as 3000 people.

The addition is scheduled to begin production in 2014. At that time, the engine plant is donating 10 percent of global production of Toyota engines.
Additional production capacity is also related to Toyota plans to build a new car assembly plant in Thailand and the recovery of production in other assembly factories in the country that were previously hit by flooding.

Siam Toyota Manufacturing Co. (STM) is an engine production facility that produces engines for all Toyota models sold in Thailand and for export. This plant is jointly owned Toyota Motor Corp and Siam Cement Group in the stock composition of 96:4.

This new investment to meet growing demand in Asia Pacific markets.

Hilux Support The South Pole Race

Toyota Hilux dukung South Pole RaceToyota Hilux again showed his toughness in the two event adventure at the end of the world. The first is the Dakar Rally in early January. In this toughest rally Toyota Hilux showed toughness throughout the race, especially when crossing the Atacama desert where temperatures reach 48 degrees. Other event is the South Pole Race, where the Hilux have to travel with super-cold temperatures, minus 50 degrees Celsius.

In these two races, with climate and environmental challenges that are very heavy-Hilux memegan vital role. In the Dakar Rally, Giniel de Villiers led Hilux into third place in overall standings. While the Race to the South Pole is fully supported by the Toyota Hilux that has been modified specifically to penetrate the Arctic tundra of this earth. Coincidentally, the South African team also became the third team to reach the South Pole. South Pole is marked with a silver ball.

Toyota Hilux is a product of South African Toyota Motors and Toyota are made in factories in Prospecton, Durban. From there, the pickup was taken to Iceland for a vehicle modified by the polar Arctic Truck company. One of the Hilux-blue-dikendari Emil Grímsson, Managing Editor of Arctic Trucks International. There are six modified pickup, two of them into six-wheel pickup.

In addition to the logistic support, Hilux even be the only vehicle available to carry a doctor when one of the participants experienced serious health problems, life-threatening.

Marc Woods of England collapsed after suffering a chest infection which developed into pneumonia. Men 43 years of disability should be treated the foot doctor. The only vehicle that can carry a doctor is the Toyota Hilux. He was treated in a tent for 24 hours before being flown to the Russian base at Nova to get better care. "I was treated for one week by a Russian doctor before I get flown to Cape Town in South Africa."

Toyota Hilux pickup is the first and the only one who managed to reach the North Pole (2007) and South Pole (2009).

How To Save Fuel by Watching RPM

Cara Hemat BBM dengan Memperhatikan RPMPressure rise in world oil prices increasingly appear to increase the likelihood the government raised the price of fuel oil.

We must get ready to spend more if it's bitter end option that should be taken to save the state budget.

As the riders as well as good citizens, many steps we can do. Among them are fuel-efficient driving style.

One way to create an efficient fuel consumption is to change gear (transmission) is appropriate, ie when the engine reaches maximum torque (maximum moment).

Because of this, notice first is the technical data of your car. See description of Maximum torque (maximum torque). Manual book contains a description of these data. Usually, written with units of feet/lbs, feet-pounds, or Newtonmeter (Nm). Each machine has a different maximum torque.

Typically, the rate of torque (moment) is always associated with the engine rotation rate (RPM).

Example, the technical data on the book written manual maximum torque: 200Nm/3750rpm. This means that the highest moment of 200Nm occurs when the engine spins as much as 3750 per minute.

In this example, means that we should do when the gear shift range of numbers indicates 3750 rpm. RPM figures can be seen in the tachometer that are on the car dashboard.

RPM on the tachometer numbers are also important when we consider not only the gear change to a higher position. To streamline the fuel consumption, while speeding down the road maintains the engine speed in the range of the maximum torque.

Because, that's when fuel supply is in accordance with the output of the engines and power needed to drive the car.
