Electric Utility Vehicles
With fuel costs soaring worldwide, and more consumer awareness of the negative impact of cars on the environment, car manufacturers concentrate their efforts on the production of new full-electric vehicles and new hybrid models. Ford Motor Company has plans for development works in the field of cleaner cars, more and more prevalent on the roads for many years, particularly in North America.
As one of the many initiatives Ford is currently taking in an effort to provide the public with a more economical alternative to the car, the company promises to introduce a full five-electric and hybrid vehicle models in Europe by 2013. This plan is part of a global plan of Ford's utility golf cart. Electric and hybrid vehicles will significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce consumption of fossil fuels.
Although environmental protection should be at the forefront of what people are looking at buying a new car, hybrid car movement is still quite new, and a full electric car is still somewhat abstract concept for many consumers. According to a study by Consumer Reports, price, range and overall performance, as a rule, the top concerns for most consumers in the market when buying a new car. Another consideration for those who might consider buying electric vehicles is the availability of electric charging stations; people are more likely to buy if they know they will be easy to "recharge" the car comfortably. Ford, however, has a vision to bring a wide range of the most cost-effective, "green" cars to millions.
John Fleming, chairman and chief executive officer of Ford of Europe and executive vice president of global manufacturing and labor issues, said in a press release, "These new models of advanced technologies play a key role in Ford's commitment to delivering the portfolio of alternative vehicles of transmission in the global scale and European consumers in the next few years ".
First full-electric car will be launched on the agenda is the Ford Transit Connect Electric Utility Vehicles. This car is a compact van, normally used for employees who must carry an excessive load. The idea is that the electric charging stations will be placed in the workplace for employees to charge before going on their route daily work tasks. This full-electric vehicle was introduced at the New York Auto Show in 2010. That being said, 40 kW, 300-volt Siemens electric motor and lithium-ion battery to power the vehicle, an estimated 120,000 miles total. With 80-Mile range, Transit Connect an electric car called the "smooth, quiet ride" on a test driver. When connected to a 240-volt outlet, the car takes six to eight hours to be fully charged.
Next car in the electric line of the vehicle to Ford's global plan for electric vehicles will be Ford Focus Electric, released in 2012. This car will be powered 100 percent of the lithium-ion batteries. The result of all battery-car zero emissions. Range up to 100 miles and 220-volt outlet, takes six to eight hours to reach full charge. The car will also be user-friendly interface, which tells the driver details on the battery charge and range. Focus compact electric car with a modern appearance.

What is the different between auto light bulb H4 12V 100/80W and H4 12V 60/55W ?
Is it true that energy saving light bulbs are bad for people who have Lupus or other auto immune diseases?
I read this, but my husband doesn’t believe it because he really wants what is best for the environment.
I put this under environment, because he is more likely to believe someone with environmental knowledge than health knowledge. Yes, Mother Nature comes first with him..
The two lamps have the same socket and can be used interchangably. However, the 100/80W bulb is too bright to be used on roads and will blind oncoming drivers. It may also draw too much current and could burn out switches, fuses, sockets and wires.
The 100/80W versions of the H4 lamp are great for off-road applications and racing, but they are not legal to use on the street.
anyone has an opinion about the silverstar light bulbs that autozone, or discount auto parts sells?
these are the headlight bulbs. how good are they ?
is there any auto bulbs that will light the road better?
Don’t waste your money.I just saw a thing on them on 60 minutes 2 weeks ago.If you are going for the look for style then fine but as far as increased visibility their tests showed no real increase in distance or intensity.
Can an H7 auto light bulb be converted to fit an H4?
Do most 100k mile auto warranties cover normal wear things like brakes, light bulbs, etc?
How about things like struts, cv joints and bearings?
the clear blue ones or add auxiliary headlights
Yes it can be done. The only problem is that the parabolic reflector is not designed to use the other bulb and would give you less than desireable lighting. There is no advantage to doing this. It will only make it harder for you to see at night.
How can I replace the auto gear shift light bulb in my ’01 Corolla?
I already bought the bulb and the plastic piece that melted underneath the old one.
cv joints and bearings drive train warranties or bumper to bumper most are just drive train parts motor transmission drive line parts but if its bumper to bumper it covers most every thing
brakes, light bulbs oil changes and such not likely that’s regular maintenance
Many people with lupus are photosensitive. UVA and UVB light is emitted from energy saving light bulbs and flourescents. Some people put filters over their flourescents.
UVA and UVB light can aggravate lupus in the skin and even cause the kidneys to flare in systemic lupus.
Are you referring to the bulb that lights up the shift lever area in the center console? The bulb is a wedge type like 168 or 194 bulb if I remember correctly. To get to the bulb you have to pry that plastic rectangular piece out first. Then you should be able to pull the bulb underneath it.
