2012 Doomsday Theory
My thoughts on the 2012 Doomsday theory
The Superior 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid Car
The 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid has improved its fuel economy from 41 mpg to 44 mpg and is now using a lithium-ion battery for power. For cars that employ gasoline, the Civic Hybrid is actually in second place for gasoline economy. With the improvement in mileage, the Civic is much closer to the Prius, and now ahead of the Lexus CT 200h. It is regarded as the most fuel-efficient four door on the market today.
The fifth generation hybrid powertrain system that the 2012 Civic Hybrid uses is referred to as the Integrated Motor Assist, which happens to be an electric motor/generator that is a thin, pancake-type. Like the systems employed in Ford and Toyota hybrids, Honda's system assists the gasoline engine by being built-in between the transmission and engine. Even though the car can be run by just electric power, it usually uses a blend of both electric and gasoline engines. All engine components still move even when the car runs temporarily on electric power. Whenever the car halts, the engine shuts off just like other hybrids.
Together with the conversion to lithium-ion batteries, the 2012 Civic Hybrid incorporates a larger gasoline engine. The 1.3-liter engine has recently been increased to a 1.5-liter four-cylinder, however the combined horsepower of the electric and gas is unchanged. The engine runs at lower RPMs because of the larger displacement, which delivers a quieter ride by having the electric motor used more frequently. Honda realized ideal efficiency by adjusting the hybrid system like improving the motor output from 15kw to 20kw. Plastic spacers as well as widely spaced coils and magnets enable the system to better control the temperature. The motor has increased to a sensible 23 horsepower, which is actually up from 20 horsepower.
The nickel-metal hydride battery pack has been succeeded by the better 20-kw Li-ion battery, which is 5 kw more and 30% lighter. With the battery's 35% improvement in efficiency and the IMA system's greater power, the Civic Hybrid is now offering the capability of using only electric motor power more often, in certain times of cruising at low speeds. Aided by the change to lithium battery, the problems that beset the previous battery should now be resolved. A steadily variable transmission completes the IMA structure. It functions kind of like a 10-speed bicycle having a drive pulley and a driven pulley that are linked with a steel belt. It is almost just like a mix of a manual and geared automatic transmission.
The 2012 Civic Hybrid has certainly earned its place among the top level hybrid cars with its upgraded battery and improved fuel efficiency. This kind of improvement has definitely made Prius start looking over its shoulder.
