Fueling the Future

by: christow

The Tokyo Auto show has come and gone. The big theme this year, going . Hybrids are now have a huge market in the car industry i.e. the Toyota Prius. The Prius is a Hybrid electric car, meaning it combines our standard fuel engine with an electric system. The Prius is also able to convert the kinetic energy of braking into electric energy for the engine. In an effort to be more fuel efficient and eco-friendly, hybrids are the future of the auto industry. Toyota will also introduce a plug-in electric vehicles as a new wave hybrid

Hybrids and Electrics Dominate the Tokyo Auto Show

The vehicle I’m most impressed with?

The Yamaha Pas Er

The Pas Er is an power-assisted bicycle that monitors the riders heart rate and adjusts the engine accordingly. The right handle measures the heart rate and assists to keep that heart rate between 110 and 120 (the typical rate for aerobic exercise). The bicycle also regenerates itself during deceleration and downhill riding.

The electric bike is an excellent alternative for maneuvering through a city. Relying on electricity saves riders on gas prices and also overcomes obstacles such as long distances and hills. Truthfully the bike just looks plain awesome. There is no word on a release date for this model but I would like to see the introduction of more approaches to transportion such as the Pas Er.
