CONCEPTS&carbon; The future of mobility as seen in Tokyo.(News)
Byline: Dutch Mandel, Roger Hart, Bob Gritzinger, Dale Jewett, Jonathan Wong, Dino Dalle Carbonare
Thanks to issues such as global warming and dependence on foreign oil, you can't go to an auto show without being bombarded by green technologies. Check out the latest round of earth-friendly concepts that bowed in Tokyo.
Mazda Premacy Hydrogen RE Hybrid
Mazda's hydrogen research continues with the Premacy Hydrogen RE Hybrid. Unlike the hydrogen RX-8, the Premacy uses a series-hybrid system with the rotary generating energy for the electric motor that solely powers the van. The result is a 40 percent power increase and a driving range of 125 miles, double that of the RX-8's dual-power drive system.
Mitsubishi CX4
Mitsubishi's take on a future sports SUV is powered by a low-emissions, 1.8-liter diesel mated to the Evolution's dual-clutch transmission. Trunk access is via a split tailgate, while impact-absorbing plastic bumpers handle low-speed impacts and return to their original shape. Interior trim is made from a plant-based and environmentally friendly resin.
