Environmental protection and low-carbon life, the moment has become a topic of concern, businesses are promoting low-carbon energy products, the automotive industry is no exception. Luxury car market, the main cards, though not energy saving, but the new generation of luxury cars to meet consumer expectations of vehicle energy saving, luxury car manufacturers are also increasingly concerned about environmental protection energy-saving vehicles, and brought as acuraTL BMW 3 Series, Lexus GS450h, Infiniti G37 and other low-carbon has a remarkable performance in a luxury sedan. Them through more advanced engines, a more scientific design, more lightweight body set, and strive to truly high-performance driving control and the best balance of fuel economy. Luxury cars have their own doorway to the low-carbon and interpretation.

    Determine fuel economy engine

    Needless to say, the engine is the heart of the car, fuel atomization, spray, blasting and then into power are the engine house, so the engine for fuel economy played a key role in achieving the most effective low-carbon energy way. To AcuraTL for example, equipped with 3.5 liters V6VTEC engine, the technology to control the valve opening and closing time and the amount of lift to match engine rpm to ensure that the engine output in any state have encountered excellent power and torque to achieve a epoch-making high-horsepower performance. VTEC is the world's first simultaneous control of valve opening and closing the valve timing and lift control system, which began in the F1 racing circuit, creating a superior environmental performance of power and perfect balance. Relying on the technology, TL overall condition of the fuel consumption of just 10.4L/100km, far superior to its class. In addition, the use of hybrid, luxury car, another killer to achieve energy efficiency, such as the Lexus hybrid gasoline-electric powered car GS450h, gasoline engine and electric motor through the perfect combination for superior fuel economy.

    Work closely with transmission and power

    Excellent engine performance of the play depends on the transmission of the match, only through the transmission of the high level of cooperation in order to more effectively reduce the loss of power output to achieve a breakthrough in fuel economy. In this regard, the luxury manufacturers is the development of its energy. BMW 3 Series 2011 all models are using electric power steering system and brake energy recovery technology, the only shift when the actual consumption of energy. AcuraTL through the use of Drive-by-Wire (electronic wire) throttle system and electronically controlled sport tiptronic (SequentialSportShift) transmission work together to improve shift speed and smoothness, the engine has a high fuel economy to the limit.

    Material impact on the design and body shape

    High-speed driving, the biggest resistance came from the air to bring the resistance (drag). Through good shape design reduces vehicle drag coefficient, the same can improve fuel economy. TL can be said in this regard at the forefront of its whole body with a new body design, the chassis frame beam income, so that the body under the bottom is almost flat. This frame design improves overall structural strength of the car, to better improve crash safety, reduce car noise, and more aerodynamic requirements, reduce drag and improve fuel economy, and similarly, Infiniti G37 wide and low body, low-drag streamlined design also makes the fuel economy of cars has more superior performance.

    From a physical point of view, body mass (weight) the greater the need for power is stronger, which means more fuel consumption, thus reducing the body weight to improve fuel economy as an effective way. However, the selection of materials and the inevitable body and vehicle safety are closely related, the "low fuel consumption for light-weight thin-skinned," not desirable. AcuraTL Department and other luxury cars with BMW3 the first extensive use of high strength steel, is both to ensure the safety of a solid body structure, but also reduce body weight, can be said to serve two purposes.

    As a new low-carbon living a healthy lifestyle, has increasingly become a fashion, the general trend. This car is increasingly common in modern society the tools to join the low-carbon life, every car manufacturer has become, and every driver issue. Luxury car brand in high technology applications in the engine, the transmission of a breakthrough in reducing drag design attempts, the first practice of the concept of carbon, worth learning brings many results for the low car carbon development has brought greater expectations.
