Bmw Hybrid

Why The BMW H3 Hybrid will knock your socks off

I do not know about you but I'm not easily impressed. However let me tell you about the BMW H3 Hybrid and why it will certainly impress you too.

As you know, most hyrids use batteries as power source. The problem with this system is that batteries are heavy, expensive and do not last as long as the cars they are installed in. Because of these problems with the batteries, BMW has taken a different and more creative approach to producing electricity.

Instead of batteries, BMW uses capacitors they call "Super Caps". These "Super Caps" are installed in the body of the BMW H3 Hybrid itself. Now, for those of you who do not want the technical specifications, let me make this easy and simple for you to understand. The total capacity of these "Super Caps" is about 190 kilowatts of energy.

Even if it's less energy, you can store in batteries, there is always work for the BMW H3 Hybrid.

The main advantages of BMW using "Super Caps" are twofold. The first advantage is that they charge very quickly compared to a battery. And secondly, when you need the extra power up the "Super Caps" quickly discharged. In the sense of, you can think of them as being like a high performance battery. The disadvantage is that their storage capacity is less than a battery.

But the benefits of the "Super Caps" outweigh the greater storage capacity offered by batteries.

The location of the "Super Caps" in the side-line of the BMW H3 Hybrid is, in my opinion, a stroke of genius. Not only does this place look good, but it also has two other very important benefits. This site saves space and also provides improved handling because of the low center of gravity.

On the automotive engineer's point of view, it is a dream come true.

The fact is, sales took off hybrids and market analysts expect a sharp increase in market share for hybrids in the next decade. The BMW brand perfectly positioned to take advantage of the opportunity hybrids because buyers are demanding more fuel efficient cars.

But BMW still more to create a great hybrid.

Consider this -----

With the creation of BMW "Active Transmission", the H3 has all the power of a diesel, but the reaction time of a conventional gasoline engine. Without going into technicalities, let me say this about the BMW "active transmission.

What makes it so incredible is that it is the same size as the standard BMW automatic transmission but it has two clutches, electric motor, six gear drive and the electronics to run the party electrical system.

What does this mean for you?

An exciting walk ------ that's what.

Not only do you get a 20% reduction in fuel, but you'll also experience 0-60 about 6.7 seconds. Are you ready to experience the excitement of 146 km / h in top gear. Provided of course you can find a road without "Smokey" where you can run "wide" open. For me, it means that you get the best of both worlds. Save money on fuel and achieve high performance at the same time.

What could you possibly want a hybrid?
