内燃機関とHVの比較によるSKYACTIVの凄さを紹介。
Title: SKYACTIV
Do
you sometimes think about getting a new car?
Does your car get terrible gas
mileage?
or,
Is it a hopelessly old model?
Why don’t you go ahead
and get a new car?
……one with all the latest technology.
Maybe you
have seen a lot of new models on the street or on TV.
There are many types of
new cars.
Recently, eco-friendly cars stand out,
cars such as EV (the
electric vehicle) and HV (the Hybrid vehicle).
What type of car do you prefer if you want to
buy one ?
I would suggest a car with a normal gasoline engine.
Why
would I suggest that?
I will tell you the reason today.
After the
automobile was born 120 years ago, the car technology has evolved rapidly.
People say the gasoline engine is difficult to improve any more.
And, the
EV and HV were considered to be breakthroughs in technology.
However, at
present, EV, the electric car, is not practicable.
Please look at
this.
The price is high. The mileage is short.
It takes time to charge
the battery.
The size of the car is small.
It will need further
evolution to make it popular.
It will take over ten years.
However,
HV, the hybrid car, is more practicable compared to EV.
An electric motor
will be mainly used at low speed range.
An engine will be mainly used at mid
and high speed range.
As a result, the mileage is tremendous.
Since a
large amount of gasoline is consumed by the acceleration at the low speed
range.
It is a perfect car for Japan that has a lot of traffic signals and
congestion.
However, please think about this…
If fuel economy is
improved, the fun of driving will deteriorate to the contrary.
This is
common sense.
HV is also the same as this.
So, I think you might be
overestimating the HV?
I will give you a simple example.
The HV has a
motor with unique battery in addition to an engine.
For this, the car is
heavier, space is sacrificed, and the price increases.
Let me explain the
differences between the HV model and the engine model for example.
Please
look at this.
The vehicle weight, increases by *** kg.
This is two
times the weight of a man.
And the capacity of the luggage area ** L is
sacrificed.
This is equal to ** 2L bottles.
As you can see,
the
price increases by ***,*** yen,
while, the fuel economy is improved *.*
km/L.
But, just by simply calculation,
you cannot recover this price
difference,
even after driving the car for ten years!!
Though I've
only been bashing the HV,
it's true that the fuel economy is improved.
The point is this:
Which do you expect…
only the fuel economy or
the various enjoyments of your car?
The car is a high price
product.
Don’t you want to buy a satisfying car?
Now, I will
introduce the great car today.
I think it will exceed your expectation.
You can enjoy the driving performance and you don't need to worry about fuel
cost.
It is TNP 30 as same as HV with great performance.
It will be
planed to release in the first half of this year.
I'm amazed.
That is a gasoline engine car and doesn't have
the motor with the unique battery.
It is the next-generation engine that has
been greatly improved the performance.
The point is this…
There are
two things.
More powerful energy should be extracted from the fuel of a
certain amount to the utmost limit.
And, the extracted energy should be
brought to the tires without any loss.
However, these are very difficult
things to do.
Simply put,
Please look at this.
70 percent of the
generated energy by the engine is lost by various factors.
If you put 1000
yen of gasoline in your car, your car will lose 700 yen of gasoline.
The
Engineers have investigated the cause of this 70 percent lost energy
that
was impossible to improve until now.
They have strived perseveringly to solve
this problem.
Finally, they have achieved a breakthrough innovation.
It has improved fuel economy and driving performance by innovating the
engine itself!
Now, next time you want a new car…
what kind of car
would you want to buy?
