New Hybrid Version from Porsche
In order to meet rising demands of consumers for eco-friendly vehicles, the German luxury sports automaker Porsche intends to produce for its Cayenne SUV a hybrid drivetrain to lessen fuel consumption.
The automaker’s goal is to achieve 8.9 liters per 100 kilometers fuel consumption. The present Porsche Cayenne which is powered by conventional six-cylinder engine consumes around 12.9 liters. That is why this sport vehicle weighting over two tons is considered to be one of the worst carbon dioxide emitters.
This car makes a great contribution into global warming. That’s why Porsche’s reaction to debated regarding climate change and to the increasing car owners’ concern about the environmental protection was its decision to make a hybrid motor – a combinaton of a standard engine with electric one and a battery. According to the statement the company is to represent high-quality drivetrain solution which will allow low emisssion and consumption levels.
German Automakers Are Making First Steps in Green Technologies Nowadays more and more restrictions are put onto vehicles’ CO2 emission and fuel consumption. This year European automakers were imposed new emission standards 130 CO2 g\km to be achieveb by 2012. nowadays only 6 German companies correspond to these standards. Despite of the fact that German cars are considered to be one of the best in the world, the automakers are slow to develop new eco friendly technologies. The world leader in the area of hybrid technologies is Toyota. Working over the project with VolksWagen and Audy, Porsche intends to unveil its hybrid in 2009. earlier the company will use the hybrid technology of combination standatd and electric engins with its four door sports premium concept Panamera.
