2024 Lexus LS 500h: Can Hybrids Make Sedans Relevant Again?

When the Lexus LS was introduced as the brand’s seminal offering, full-size sedans were the flagships of every luxury lineup. But that was in 1989 when Taylor Swift was born and when Elon Musk was a teenager leaving South Africa for a new life in Canada. In the ensuing decades, American luxury car buyers have largely turned their backs on big sedans, preferring the upright stance of SUVs. But…

elektromos autók és az eu

szinte biztos vagyok benne, hogy az eu nem fogja elengedni az autóipara kezét, ugyanis túl sokan dolgoznak az iparágban, és túl fontos a döntéshozók számára.

a feldolgozóipart lehet a legkönnyebben hadigazdaságra állítani és alapvetően drága, ideális esetben exportképes termékeket állít elő. mondjuk egyre inkább az a stratégia, hogy az egy bizonyos piacra termelő gyárak a vámhatárokon belül vannak. amerikában van vv és toyota gyár és európában van ford és tesla gyár.

a kérdés részben az, hogy beengedjük-e kínát azután, hogy piacvezetővé vált az ev-k terén (ezentúl nem yrom le többet azt, hogy elektromos autó, mindenhol az ev fog szerepelni, esetleg bev=tisztán elektromos, phev=tölthető hibrid). kína az európai és amerikai márkákat úgy engedte be, hogy vegyesvállalatot kellett létrehozniuk, ami segítette a technológia-transzfert a belső égésű motorokkal (ICE) felszerelt autók terén.

Intő jel, hogy kína nem az ice-knek köszönhetően lett a világ autóipari exportbajnoka. bár tény, hogy bizonyos szegmensekben azon a területen is versenyképes. a vegyesvállalat modell igényli talán a legkevesebb pénzt is. érdés azonban, hogy az eu autóipara képes-e annyit tanulni, hogy versenyképes legyen egy olcsóbb munkaerővel és elnézőbb külpolitikával rendelkező,országgal szemben egy olyan exportpiacon, ahol a technológia egy másik piacról érkezik? szerintem nem így az eu autóiparának mindenképp százmilliárd eurós nagyságrendben kell támogatásokat adni.

az a kérdés azonban nem igazán merül fel, hogy ki kapja ezt a támogatást, annyira nyilvánvaló, hogy a fennálló, működő európai cégek. és ezért halott az európai innováció is. az eu munkaerőpiacát szabályozó, a nemzetközi pénzügyi sajtó szerint túlságosan munkaerőbarát szabályok csak egy olyan startup esetében jelentősek, amelyik ki akar rúgni embereket, egy dinamikusan növekvő starupnál a leépítésekről szóló szabályozás fel sem merül. ha pedig nem j9tt be a tét, a csőd után ígyse-úgyse marad semmi. ha a kockázati tőke modellje az, hogy 100-ból 1 fizet, akkor nem kéne, hogy számítson az, hogy az amerikai szabályozás lehetőséget teremt 100-ból 20 vállalat "racionalizálására", elérve egy, az eredetileg befektetett tőkére vonatkozó 10 %-os hozamot.

lehet azt mondani, hogy ezen a 2%-os várható hozamkülönbségen múlik az európai kockázati tőke, de szerintem nem ez a helyzet. a szilícium-völgy nem az adózási szabályai miatt van ott és ahol. viszont ha már egy stratégiai iparágat akar az eu megmenteni, akkor azt s ki lehetne próbálni mondjuk 20-80 equity/det finanszírozásban, hogy mi történik akkor, ha mondjuk 1 vw helyett 10 ev startupot finanszírozunk. a vegyesvállalati követelménnyel ráadásul duplázható is az elköltött pénz.

az európai arisztokrácia él és virul, de valójában nem muszáj mindig őket megmenteni. valójánam a náci porsche-család megmentése az unió leszakadását jelenti.

What are the Various Types of Electric Vehicles and How Do They Work?

The automotive landscape is undergoing a monumental shift, fueled by technological advancements and a growing awareness of environmental concerns. At the forefront of this transformation are Electric Vehicles (EVs), heralding a cleaner and more sustainable era of transportation. In this in-depth exploration, we'll navigate through the intricacies of electric vehicles, dissecting their diverse types, unraveling their operational mechanisms, and glimpsing into their promising future.

Understanding Electric Vehicles

Electric Vehicles distinguish themselves by relying on electric motors powered by electricity stored in a battery. This departure from traditional internal combustion engines presents a promising solution to environmental challenges posed by conventional vehicles.

The Intricate Working of Electric Vehicles

Breaking down the workings of an Electric Vehicle reveals a symphony of components, from the crucial battery pack and controller to the electric motor and accelerator pedal. This orchestrated dance results in a clean, efficient, and eco-friendly mode of transportation.

Exploring the Diverse Electric Vehicle Types

Electric Vehicles come in various flavors, each catering to specific user needs:

Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV): The purest form of electric mobility, BEVs run solely on electricity, eliminating tailpipe emissions and contributing significantly to reducing air pollution. Examples include the Tesla Model 3 and Nissan Leaf.

Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV): Bridging the gap between traditional and electric vehicles, HEVs combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor, enhancing fuel efficiency. Popular models include the Toyota Prius and Honda Insight.

Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV): Offering flexibility with electric and gasoline power, PHEVs can operate emission-free for shorter distances while providing extended range for longer journeys. The Chevrolet Volt and Ford Escape PHEV are notable examples.

Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV): Using hydrogen gas in a fuel cell stack, FCEVs emit only water vapor and heat as byproducts. Though in early commercial stages, models like the Toyota Mirai are pioneering this unique approach to electric mobility.

Future Prospects and Challenges of Electric Vehicles

While the road to widespread EV adoption presents challenges like charging infrastructure development and battery technology advancements, the promise of cleaner, greener transportation beckons. As technology advances and sustainability takes center stage, Electric Vehicles are poised to revolutionize the way we move, offering not just a choice but a responsibility towards a cleaner and healthier planet.

This slower rate of growth enabled the surging BYD to almost pass Tesla in terms of all-electric car sales. The Chinese company reports 431,603 BEV sales, which is just 3,456 less than Tesla. The two companies never have been so close to each other, as BYD noted 99.2 percent of what Tesla did in terms of sales (excluding commercial BEVs and plug-in hybrids)(..)

P.S. Despite commercial success, Tesla have huge affordability and availability problems...! Let's not be naïve and don't look at the world through rose-colored glasses. Tesla (as well as other electric car manufacturers) is currently unable to offer anything that can replace second-hand diesels in the market of new or used cars. (In fact, the car market is in a serious crisis, as an increasing number of people face difficulties in replacing their old cars with newer and more modern ones. I often see that many people are no longer in a hurry to buy new or newer cars because they have simply become too expensive! Or they are quite deliberately looking for older cars with a simpler design!). BYD, unlike other manufacturers, does not deal with empty unfulfilled promises, but really works in the field of affordable electric cars... BYD has a very good chance of achieving phenomenal success in China's own car market, as well as in those car markets where Western car manufacturers are not protected by the import duties of the European Union and the United States...

For example, quite soon outside the borders of the USA, the European Union and Japan, brands such as Ford, GM, Chrysler, VW and Toyota will no longer be visible in the new car market due to a wrong development strategy followed by them since 2017...

"Battery materials and renewable charging infrastructure will eventually be plentiful," Pratt said in Hiroshima, a day before the start of a Group of Seven leaders summit in the Japanese city.

"But it's going to take decades for battery material mines, renewable power generation, transmission lines and seasonal energy-storage facilities to scale up."

Toyota, which seeks to sell 1.5 million battery-powered cars by 2026 and introduce 10 new fully electric models, has frequently argued that reaching carbon neutrality will mean the use of hybrid and fuel-cell vehicles.

Toyota lost to politics at Le Mans after Balance of Performance change | WEC

Toyota chairman Akio Toyoda has made his frustration clear with the change to the World Endurance Championship’s Balance of Performance on the eve of last week’s Le Mans 24 Hours. The competitiveness of their GR010 cars suffered after the BoP was adjusted 10 days before the race began. The minimum weight of the Toyota was increased by 37 kilograms, while it was also given a 4MJ increase in the amount of energy it could consume per stint. It meant the GR010 was the heaviest hypercar in the race by 16kg compared to the second-heaviest. This was Ferrari’s 499P, which was less severely affected by the BoP change. Toyoda said he was disappointed by the change in light of Toyota’s commitment to WEC, which it has participated in consistently since it was revived in 2012. “Audi withdrew in 2016, Porsche disappeared from 2018 and only Toyota remained in the top category of Le Mans and fought,” he told the Toyota Times. “We really welcomed the return of other manufacturers this year. “What we are doing is ‘sport where athletes fight’. That is motor sports. It’s definitely not a motor ‘politics’ that exposes the stubbornness of manufacturers. I want to say I wanted drivers, engineers and mechanics to race in a place that looked ahead to the next 100 years. When I was watching the qualifiers, I thought, ‘I lost to politics’.” Toyoda made his comments after Ferrari locked out the front row for the race. The two Toyotas, which won the opening three WEC races of the year between them, took third and fifth on the grid. Toyoda said he “doesn’t want to engage in a closed political battle that no one can see” and prefers “an open place where everyone is watching”. Advert | Become a RaceFans supporter and go ad-free “Rivals seriously fighting each other… I think that’s what sports is all about, and I’m sure the fans want to see that sort of thing.” The Ferrari of Alessandro Pier Guidi, Antonio Giovinazzi and James Calado won last weekend’s race by 81 seconds from the Toyota of Sebastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryo Hirakawa. The second Toyota retired due to damage incurred in a collision with backmarkers. Toyota also presented a concept design for a future hydrogen-powered car at Le Mans. Toyoda said he is keen to see the technology at Le Mans, where it is planned for introduction in three years’ time. “Two weeks ago I ran the Fuji 24-hour race,” he said. “While many people around the world are talking about BEVs [battery electric vehicles] as an option, we have been fighting for the realisation of a hydrogen society, believing that hydrogen is also an option. “Hydrogen has an image of an explosion, and the image that it is a dangerous fuel is hard to get rid of. I think that the image has been changed from ‘dangerous’ to ‘future’.” Toyota GR H2 Racing Concept, 2023 Toyota GR H2 Racing Concept, 2023 Toyota GR H2 Racing Concept, 2023 Toyota GR H2 Racing Concept, 2023 Toyota GR H2 Racing Concept, 2023 Toyota GR H2 Racing Concept, 2023 Advert | Become a RaceFans supporter and go ad-free 2023 F1 season Browse all 2023 F1 season articles via RaceFans - Independent Motorsport Coverage https://www.racefans.net/

BMW Teams Up with Toyota for Hydrogen SUV Launch in 2028

Confirmation from BMW that its first mass-production hydrogen-powered vehicle will launch by 2028 places the automaker at center stage in the fast-developing hydrogen fuel cell space. While the German carmaker has experimented with hydrogen technologies since as far back as 1979, this latest development represents a major step up for the company. The new vehicle will be added to its portfolio of sustainable mobility offerings alongside BEVs and ICEs. Complementing this ambitious vision, BMW has extended collaboration with one of the leading car manufacturers in hydrogen technology: Toyota. Such cooperation is supposed to crystallize a long-cherished dream into hard-core reality and thus usher in a new era in the effort of BMW towards zero-emission transport.

A Partnership Poised to Revolutionize Hydrogen Mobility

Over time, the collaboration of BMW with Toyota has been central to advancing the hydrogen fuel cell technology. It has also, until now, been the most pioneering-earning a reputation for hydrogen power with its Mirai sedan. For BMW, this tie-up is not only about borrowing from Toyota's expertise but also making sure that the final product is quintessentially BMW. The iX5 Hydrogen prototype, whose fuel cells are provided by Toyota, was a testimony to this marriage. However, BMW indicates that the production model will still carry its specific identity and engineering and not be merely a rebranded model of Toyota.

For more than a decade, Toyota has been building the hydrogen-powered Mirai, a nameplate that has become synonymous with hydrogen fuel-cell technology. BMW also plans to show its first mass-production hydrogen vehicle no later than 2028-also sure to be fronted by a next-generation SUV from CLAR (Cluster Architecture), a highly versatile platform that now supports hydrogen fuel cells alongside traditional gas and diesel, plug-in hybrids, and fully electric variants.

Look to the BMW iX5 Hydrogen for a Glimpse into the Future

The BMW iX5 Hydrogen prototype has already entered a test fleet of less than 100 units, giving an indication of hydrogen-powered mobility at some point in the future. The vehicles are built at the BMW plant in Spartanburg, U.S., then modified in Munich by adding hydrogen fuel cell technology. The prototype appeared to have given a show and tell that hydrogen can indeed compete, if not outperform conventional petrol cars-especially in terms of refueling time, which is a major advantage over electric vehicles.

This luxury SUV features a single electric motor with 396 hp; the two hydrogen tanks, made of CFRP, are of 700 bar and store six kilograms of hydrogen for a WLTP range of circa 313 miles or 504 km. The iX5 Hydrogen will similarly refuel as fast and easy as a gasoline or diesel vehicle: in some three to four minutes.

The Promise of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology

Hydrogen fuel cell technology is, therefore, particularly appealing, as it offers a multitude of advantages on a number of key angles. With BEVs depending on lithium-ion batteries alone, it is here that hydrogen fuel cell-powered electric vehicles can be replenished quickly for all intents and purposes, making them perfectly suitable for long-distance journeys in which hydrogen can actually be stored and transported more easily, potentially developing into a universal fuel option to be partnered with renewable sources of energy.

BMW's renewed focus on hydrogen is part of its general strategy to offer multiple solutions to sustainable energy. While BEVs have enjoyed a commanding demand, hydrogen fuel cells are another route into zero-emission transportation. With the growing pressure for climate-neutral mobility, hydrogen is considered to play a strategic role in future mix energy carriers.

BMW's Long History of Researching Hydrogen

BMW's interest in hydrogen isn't anything new. In fact, the company began researching the possibility of using hydrogen as a form of propulsion at the beginning of the second half of the 1970s. One of the very first examples was the BMW 520h, in which an internal combustion engine was adapted to run on hydrogen. During the early years of the 2000s, BMW experimented with hydrogen versions of its 7 Series sedan, even V12-powered ones like the E38 and E65.

This gradually shifted the focus of BMW's research from hydrogen internal combustion engines to fuel cells, which convert hydrogen into energy at a much higher efficiency. After years of research and collaboration, the fruits come in the form of the iX5 Hydrogen prototype, developed based on its vision for what future sustainable mobility should look like.

Look to the Future: BMW's Hydrogen-Powered SUV

Speculation suggests the 2028 arrival of a hydrogen-powered BMW SUV will be derived from the next-generation X5 built on the versatile CLAR platform, capable of hosting everything from classic gas and diesel to plug-in hybrid and full-electric powertrains, with its ideal place for hydrogen fuel cell technology. In fact, some rumor mills indicate that BMW could come up with a conventional electric SUV on the CLAR platform before introducing its hydrogen variant.

Whereas Neue Klasse, BMW's new electric architecture, is due to start arriving in the next couple of years, it won't be the basis for its first full production hydrogen model. Instead, BMW has opted to use the well-established CLAR platform, paving the way for the new hydrogen SUV to share garages with other BMWs.

Hydrogen Mobility-The Future

In a sense, the decision of BMW to invest in hydrogen corroborates the trend within the entire industry towards the diversification of powertrain offerings. While battery-electric vehicles dominate current conversations around zero-emission transportation, hydrogen may still have an essential role to play in the future energy landscape. Hydrogen boasts a number of enviable features: fast refueling time, extensive ranges, and highly efficient ways of storing and transporting the fuel-one reason it is considered a viable alternative to batteries.

In other words, the attractiveness of BMW's hydrogen-powered SUV will clearly grow with the development of the hydrogen refueling station infrastructure for an increasingly large customer base. The company is under commitment to offer wide options in sustainable driving, extending its vision into making mobility climate-neutral. Consumers will find more choices than ever in transportation, with hydrogen playing a major part, until 2028.

Conclusion

The fact that BMW is confirming a hydrogen-powered SUV for 2028 forms an essential milestone in the automaker's continued pursuit of sustainable mobility. Buoyed by its collaboration with Toyota and backed by decades-long research, BMW is primed for market entry with a vehicle that offers the best in marriage between the luxury and performance characteristics of an SUV with the environmentally friendly benefits of hydrogen fuel cells. With an ever-expanding hydrogen infrastructure in place, it can be a main component in zero-emission vehicles.
