?highway To The Future: Mobile Hybrid Experience? Offered By Toyota
The Nashville International Auto Show is about to open its doors to the public on the sixth of April. In connection with this, the Toyota Motor Corporation announced that they will be bringing their ?Highway to the Future: Mobile Hybrid Experience? to the said event.
The Japanese car manufacturer announced the schedule of their tour on the 26th of March. The company says that the experience is aimed to let consumers experience driving their hybrid vehicles like the very popular Toyota Prius aside from the Camry and Highlander hybrid vehicles. These entire three models will come to feature and sport around the company?s Hybrid Synergy Drive System which allows them to make the most of the capability of the electric motor integrated into their vehicles.
Aside from the hands-on experience, Toyota will also be offering other interactive learning activities for the attendees. These four learning areas will be part of Toyota’s exhibit at the Nashville Auto Show. One of these four interactive educational exhibits is the ?Alternative Fuel: Fueling the Future? exhibit. This interactive part of Toyota’s show tackles the different alternative fuels which may, one day, totally replace gasoline as the fuel of the world. Some of these alternative fuels are biodiesel, hydrogen, and bio-ethanol.
Aside from identifying these alternative fuels, Toyota will also be educating the attendees on how each and every one of these alternative fuels are produced.
Another interactive learning experience is the ?Environment and Resources: Small Steps, Big Difference?. This, meanwhile, tackles the different ways how the attendees can help in the protection of the environment in their own little way. This shows Toyota’s concern for the environment and it seems to be already manifested in their lineup of fuel efficient vehicles. These vehicles are more fuel thrifty than a vehicle equipped with a Mercury cold air intake system.
The third interactive educational display at Toyota’s exhibit is the ?Prius Driving Experience? and aside from the actual test drive, Toyota allows attendees of the event to take advantage of a Prius driving simulation. Another part of Toyota’s exhibit is the ?Hybrid Technology: Not All Hybrids are Created Equal? and this one educates the attendees just about what hybrid technology is and where it is found and in what vehicle.
Aside from identifying the hybrid technologies employed by different vehicles, Toyota also highlights each technology?s benefit to the environment and the consumer.
The 2007 Nashville International Auto Show will start on the sixth of April and will run until the eighth of the month. Toyota’s hands-on exhibit will start from 10:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. on the dates April 6 and 7. On April 8, the driving experience for Toyota’s hybrid will run from 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.
The ?Highway to the Future: Mobile Hybrid Experience will be held at the LP Field. To promote the driving experience to attendees of the motor show, a free shuttle service will be provided to take attendees to the LP Field.…
Headlights are a safety issue on the highways. You don’t want to be caught unawares when darkness falls and you find that your headlights are unable to pierce the pitch dark envelope ahead and to your sides. It can be a frightening experience to drive through a sheet of rain or an impenetrable covering of fog or mist, especially when your headlights or the battery is old. The standard halogen lights have severe disadvantages. These draw a heavy current and throw far less light than you’d like to have. The bulbs do not last very long and the battery is at times unable to supply as much current as the headlights demand. The net result is very unsavory. It’s quite likely that you may have to pull off the road till the driving conditions improve. However, the HID headlight kits will change all that now. Each kit consists of two HID headlight bulbs, two ballasts and two ballast mounting brackets. The HID bulbs throw 300% more light than the standard halogen bulbs. The current drawn by the HID lights is 35% less than the earlier lights. There is therefore far less load on the battery and this is a good thing especially if your battery is getting on in years.
