Ford promote plug-practical study for hybrid electric vehicles





Ford automobile and Progress Energy (United States Florida power supplier) recently at the University of Central Florida in Orlando solar intelligent power grid Center issued a joint statement, Ford is expanding its plug-hybrid electric vehicle research project scale, at the same time, Ford's regional utilities partner Progress Energy to further integrate plug- hybrid Ford yihu (Gallery Forum) production into their business in Florida.

Progress Energy is assisting Ford jointly promote the commercialization of electric vehicle development of one of number of North American energy companies, energy companies and the United States Department of energy cooperation agreement signed in.

Science Fiction General Electric automobile reality version of the networking concept car the first episode





Hollywood science fiction film in many future automotive lens, in the city under the control of the computer, you can use the shuttle independent special track auto travel to hundreds of layers of high-rise office carrying passengers, and then follow the instructions to arrive at the destination, the entire process completely intelligent, occupant in the cockpit was like sitting in the Office as processing the transaction.

7 years ago, journalist visit access car Toyota. Then Toyota representative directors of God tail long hair. He told reporters: "I have a dream: in the sea there is a lot of fish to swim, swim; in the sky, many birds that flew, are not met. We hope that the future of the automotive community like the sea and the sky, there is no congestion and collision. ”
