We can’t say that the name is easy to remember. Hold on, it’s called BZ4X. The first two letters correspond to a label. And BZ stands for Beyond Zero, better than zero. You know, Toyota has built its reputation on the hybrid. It is a manufacturer that also invests in hydrogen. But, it is obliged to also offer 100% electric battery models. And this first vehicle, which is an SUV developed with another Japanese manufacturer, Subaru, is distinguished by a long range. Toyota indeed promises 450 km. We can certainly find better, but you should also know that the warranty on the battery is 10 years or 240,000 km. No other manufacturer does so. Otherwise, the BZ4X develops the equivalent of 204 hp. A little more if you opt for the 4WD version. In addition, this model has a solar panel roof which, on its own, would provide 1,800 km of free range per year. You just have to park the car in the sun.
You can not stop progress. Here is the first suitcase that can charge electric vehicles.
It was presented within the framework of the COP26.
A first for Bentley, which crossed Iceland with fully renewable energies.
The brand, which belongs to the Volkswagen group, used fuel made from straw residue. This is called a second generation biofuel. And this was combined with electricity from the heat of the earth. These two energy sources were used to propel a pure hybrid Fling. The vehicle was thus able to travel more than 700 km across Iceland with a minimal carbon footprint. It was just a test, but it allows to validate in passing the interest of low carbon fuels.
And then Hyundai launches into fashion… From recycled components.
The Korean manufacturer indeed proposes to use airbags, windshields, remains of seats and carpets from end-of-life vehicles to make clothes. These components then become shorts, or sweatpants. Hyundai’s Re Style collection is available in Seoul and Paris. In France, there is a partnership with two online stores. These products are available until next Wednesday. And the proceeds will be donated to a United Nations environment program.
