The "shield" of your pocket!

From: http://www.autotriti.gr/data/news/preview_news/102361.asp

With the price of unleaded rising, the use of alternative fuels and especially LPG seems to be the optimal solution. Find out everything you need before resorting to any conversion.

Reducing the costs required for the use of vehicles and emissions, are the main axes of action that characterize our time. For that reason, car manufacturers have embarked on a road race to provide solutions to these issues, responding to the calls of the time.
These solutions include LPG as an alternative form of fuel, since its basic features are reduced to its price (located at about half of unleaded gasoline) and the smaller pollutants produced during combustion. For these reasons, LPG (LPG) is gaining more and more ground, both at the level of car companies (since most manufacturers now have factory systems), as well as at the level of after market conversions (the latter category is also the most widespread).
In GREECE, our "acquaintance" with this type of fuel counts a minimum of time, compared to other countries where the presence of LPG models has been around for several decades. Based on market estimates, in global level, are currently circulating over 15 millions of vehicles using LPG (about half of them are in Europe), with demand showing upward trends.
In our tribute, you will have the opportunity to read all the details regarding the installation and use of LPG, but also to see the points where you should pay special attention.

Although there is now intense mobility, the supply network with LPG, needs further development. Still, lately it has been significantly enriched by network of installers LPG kit.

Basic characteristics of LPG
Although it is odorless and colorless, includes osmogenic substances so that any leakage can be easily detected.
It has a high content of octane (about 110).
Its chemical composition consists of two hydrocarbons (propane and butane).
It has a high ignition temperature, 450-510 b. C (against 257 b. C of gasoline).
Does not contain lead and therefore does not damage the internal parts of the engine.
The supply is done in conditions very high pressure and then reduced with special accessories.

Cost of use 8 gasoline, diesel and LPG models for 5 years.

How Smart is the new Smart;

From: http://www.gazzetta.gr/in-motion/article/634127/poso-smart-einai-ta-nea-smart

Lots of interesting news from the global presentation of the new Smart, as is the return of the four-door Forfour, but also the greater comfort of the Fortwo.

 

Πόσο Smart είναι τα νέα Smart;
New beginning from November for Smart. The miniature model specialist will launch in addition to the new generation two-door Fortwo and the four-seater Forfour. The Daimler subsidiary presented its two new models at an impressive event in Berlin, which we watched live streaming on gazzetta.gr. Of course, that we are in Berlin, from where we convey our first impressions.
The two-seater Fortwo gets a regular front bonnet, although the motor is still not under it, which is placed behind. Its length remains unchanged (2,69 m.), but it will be more flexible than the previous one thanks to the total turning diameter of the 7,30 μ. We should also point out the increase in width by 10 centimeters, so that the movements become much more comfortable. There have also been major interventions in the posts and the sazman, to make the car run smoother and without sudden reactions. A five-speed manual transmission will be standard equipment, upon order, a double-clutch automatic with six ratios will also be provided.
Customers will be able to choose between three three-cylinder petrol engines. An atmospheric one in versions 60 and 71 of horses and a turbo with 90 horses. The same engines will be used in the four-door Forfour, which has several visual similarities in the grille and rear to the smaller Fortwo.
Forfour features 3,49 μ. length and 62 centimeter longer wheelbase. The interior is dominated by pop colors, while the characteristic round tachometer in the cockpit remained. The air-conditioning is also adjustable with a sliding switch. The larger Smart shares the same floor as the Renault Twingo and has a trunk with minimal volume 185 l, if the rear seats are folded down, however, it is launched to 975 l. Regarding prices, it is too early to say anything absolutely specific, but they will start indicatively between 10.000 and 11.000 euro. The Forfour will cost approx 600 euros more expensive than the two-seater Fortwo. However, the two brothers are not inseparable, since the small one will be manufactured in France and the larger one in Slovenia.
