The Audi A4 (B8) is the fourth generation variant of this type of car. This car uses the same type of platform as used in the Audi A5 coupe. This platform type is known as the Audi modular longitudinal platform. This car was unveiled in two designs- sedan and avant.

This model from the house of Audi has built in LED lights that run during the daytime as well, and uses a multi media interface. It also has an electronic handbrake and speed sensitive power steering in all the standard models guaranteeing you a smooth ride. The Audi A4 (B8) model has passed all standard crash tests and has earned a 5-star rating for the safety of its adult occupants.

The B8 variation of Audi A4 has improved its wheelbase by 160mm over the B7 model. The Audi has recently announced a dual clutch S tronic transmission technology which is ideal for the US and European market.

The BMW 3 Series Sedan comes along in terms of time and production. Introduced by the German automaker BMW, the car was made during the 1973 world oil crisis attracting many people. Since then production has never stopped; with generations of this car being made. The history of this car began in 1973 up to today with four generations in between.

Today, the BMW3 series sedan has unique features that makes the sporty, prestigeous and compact. With the introduction of four cylinder and six cylinder engine there is increased driving pleasure. The car’s fuel reduction capability is enhanced by the installation of emmision reduction packages. Its dynamic and performance capabilities are boosted with the Auto Start Stop, Brake Energy Regeneration and drivetrain modifications.

In the racing arena, it is currently being used in major competitions like the SCAA Pro Racing Speed World Challenge and the Grand America Road Racing Association series.

The Volvo B5L hybrid is a double decker bus that seeks to reduce the rate of fuel consumption and reduce the emission of carbon dioxide. This is environmental friendly since carbon monoxide is harmful to the environment and your health. The hybrid technology combines two power sources.

It offers hybrid solutions to fuel saving on standard products that allows customers to achieve payback on the capital costs faster than before. The noise emission is also lower than the previous technology. This type of bus is meant to find solutions to the environment especially climatic change that is one of the world issues. The preservation of the environment means the security of the future.

91 Volvo B5L hybrid is a passenger transport bus that is heavy and was formed in 1991. It is one of the latest buses in the range of heavy buses that are eco-friendly. The hybrid bus accommodates more passengers than the normal bus therefore give more returns and profits.

IAA Bus and Truck Show unveiled the Volvo 7700 hybrid in Germany. It was termed as an ‘eco-exiting’ bus rather than exciting. The bus is a 30% fuel effecient hybrid as compared to other non-hybrid cars.

The environmental friendly bus is a parallel hybrid ensuring that the diesel powered engine and the electric motor combine together to start the bus.

Some of the benefits offered from this hybrid include the highly effecient motors which are capable of accelearing the bus to 20 km/hr with silent take-offs and quick stand-stills, there is reduced emmision levels of CO2 and 40% reduction of Nox. The buses are easily available in the market with most of them being sold in various countries like Luxemborg, Switzerland, Norway and Austria.

There are also auxiliary services provided by the Volvo 7700 such as 24/7 help with the Volvo Action Service, refurbishment of an older vehicle type and so on.

Travelling across the desert is a risky activity especially when the car being used is unreliable. It is difficult to find a car that meets specific desert conditions as well as the desert terrain. This is because the desert has unlevelled sand and camouflaged sand dunes that can easily damage the car.

However, there are cars that are tailored to meet such conditions for instance, the Audi Allroad 2.5 Tdi is capable of holding a 7 litre-engine enables a power output of 180 or 162 bph thus allowing less fuel consumption. There are also sports utility vehicles (SUVs) which are designed for off road purposes and are yet fuel efficient. These include the Suzuki, Mitsubishi and Honda.

Four-wheel drives are also fuel efficient and are capable of travelling on all roads for example the 2006 Toyota 4Runner with V6 has a low fuel consumption of 21MPG, the Impreza Wagon, Subaru Outback, the Audi A4 and A6 wagons and also the Honda Element.

Introduced to meet the competition from Yamaha, Suzuki and Honda, the Vintage kawasaki gpz 600 is a liquid cooled motor cycle. It has a four stroked transverse cylinder engine each cylinder with 4 valves. The original testing was done in Madrid proving the machine successful in terms of steering and speed. It is capable of reaching a top speed of 127.5 mph. The fuel capacity is 18 liters including the total weight of the motor cycle of 195 kg.

It also has improved modifications as compared to its predecessors for instance the crank cases have been tidied up with alloys and plastics enabling weight reduction, the alternator has been reversed to reduce the engine width, a fully triangulated double cradle frame which uses alloyto ensure compression among many features.

With the reduced front end and powerful tyre pressure, the vintage kawasaki gpz 600 is capable of performing on all road types as well improving aero dynamism in its cycling.

Most motorists grapple with the huge task of selecting the most appropriate fuel for their vehicles choice is usually between diesel and petrol.

The proponents of diesel are quick to argue that the benefits of using diesel out weigh those of petrol by far though this is debatable.

Diesel is said to perform highly while emitting much lower emissions of carbon monoxide than petrol while engines run on petrol are less noise polluting and are cheap to repair.

But while petrol may be cheaper, its high carbon emissions and its being non-renewable make it less favorite especially since the world is slowly going green to reduce global warming.

It is however necessary to note that diesel is not without its disadvantages as it is more expensive and cars run on diesel are very noisy.

Perhaps the way forward in this debate is to acknowledge that while this two fuels have their faults; diesel is currently more favorable than petrol but just barely.
