The hybrids are coming

Suzuki presented the Polish press with its 'Twin' hybridkrzyżówka, hybryda on Wednesday, amidst an oil price surgenagły skok, wzrost that is increasing demand forpopyt, zapotrzebowanie na coś a new generation of cars that consume less petroleum and are also powered byzasilany przez alternative power sourcesalternatywne źródła energii.

With one of the fastest growing auto markets in the world, Poland looks set to take a front seat in the oncomingnadchodzący hybridkrzyżówka, hybryda car revolution.

Demand for hybridkrzyżówka, hybryda cars has rocketedto rocket: wzrastać gwałtownie in recent months, with some analysts pointing to technological change that has made hybridkrzyżówka, hybryda engines more affordableprzystępne cenowo. Others say that the hybridkrzyżówka, hybryda engine is an innovation that has never been tested on the market - and the market is vastly more hungry for silent, smooth, ecologically friendly engines than had been previouslypoprzednio imagined.

But there are also those who say that oil prices - propelledto propel: napędzać by Middle Eastern instability and the risewzrost of big new consumers such as China - have reached a thresholdpróg, granica that is finally turning away consumers. Arguably, one of the two biggest issues facing the world today, energy security and environmental preservationochrona, zachowanie, are addressed by hybridkrzyżówka, hybryda technology.

In this sense, the First World's - particularly America's - thirstpragnienie, żądza czegoś for oil may not be quenchedto quench: gasić pragnienie, zaspokoić by the securing of international oil supplies but rather in research labs in the USA and Japan. Hybrid technology will surely reduce demand forpopyt, zapotrzebowanie na coś oil, the consumption of it and America's dependencezależność on the Middle East.

Often, innovation is driven bynapędzany, motywowany entrepreneurshipprzedsierbiorczość, a search for new markets. In this case, the innovation of the hybridkrzyżówka, hybryda is arguably driven bynapędzany, motywowany rising costs and by the established market leaders' need to survive.

The Suzuki Twin, as its name suggests, is a two-seatersamochód dwuosobowy comparable toporównywalny do the Smart car. "Before we launchwprowadzać produkt na rynek the Twin in Poland, we are watching the sale of Smarts," says the firm's Marcin Glajzer. "But the difference with the Twin is that it is the first Suzuki model with a hybridkrzyżówka, hybryda power system.

"The electric engine assists the work of the internalwewnętrzny combustionspalanie unit when starting, acceleratingto accelerate: przyspieszać, or driving uphill, allowing it to significantlyznacznie lower gas use and to limit the emission of harmfulszkodliwy substances into the atmosphere." When reducing speed, the energy produced by the car is turned into electrical energy and used to chargeładować the battery, which has a capacitypojemność of 6.3 Ah and a voltagenapięcie of 192 V.

During vehicle stops, the hybridkrzyżówka, hybryda control system tautomatically throws the engine out of gear, creating yet lower carbon dioxide emissions.

"The model equipped withwyposażony w the hybridkrzyżówka, hybryda engine is especially popular among national and local Japanese authorities, who want to emphasize that they not only appreciatedocenić the comfort, but also the ecological benefits," Suzuki states. Clearly, the biggest value of bringing their hybridkrzyżówka, hybryda car to Poland lies in the value it brings to the Suzuki brand, reinforcing the message of high technology and efficiencywydajność.

"In order to be more engaged in the Polish market, we have rebuilt our distribution networksieć dystrybucji, and we actively introduce new models of cars to the market," says Harumichi Uto, president of Suzuki Motor Poland. "We would also like to consolidatewzmocnić, utwierdzić the image of Suzuki as the manufacturerproducent, wytwórca of reliable and economical cars."

The demonstration of the Twin hybridkrzyżówka, hybryda was used as a feature at the launchwprowadzać produkt na rynek of the Suzuki Liana last week. "Liana is a typical family car for people with whom the comfort and security of their family are the most important things during the drive," Uto explains. "I do hope that Polish customers will appreciatedocenić this model, as happened with the Ignis."

The biggest Japanese car maker in Poland, Toyota, which is in third place on the domestic market behind Fiat and Skoda, is set to launchwprowadzać produkt na rynek its second generation hybridkrzyżówka, hybryda, the Prius, within the coming weeks.

"Delivery by July depends on world demand forpopyt, zapotrzebowanie na coś these cars, which is much higher than expected. Due to demand in the USA, this delivery could be later," says Jan Okulicz, Toyota's PR manager.

"High demand may have less to do with world oil prices than the fact that the market for these cars is untested," he adds. "Places with high ecological awarenessświadomość, such as California, are leading the way, not least with such high-profilesławny, przyciągający uwagę film stars as Leonardo di Caprio opting forto opt for: decydować się hybrids."

Okulicz points out that the big value of a hybridkrzyżówka, hybryda is still the effect of innovation on his company's brand. "Hybrid cars are really not going to be a huge part of our sales figures in the near future, but they will help with our brand image of Toyota as a pioneer." The price range of the new Prius will be comparable toporównywalny do the Toyota Avensis, which runs at zł.107,389-116,727 (E23,000-25,000).

Currently, there are 20,000 hybrids in the state of California, and that number is expected to risewzrost by more than 500 percent across the next four years. "The attitudes and opinions about economics, technology, and the environment held by owners of hybridkrzyżówka, hybryda-electric cars distinguish them from other groups," says a report by marketing group JD Power and Associates, quoted in Tech Central Station. "Issues on which the owners of hybridkrzyżówka, hybryda-electric cars hold extreme positions are: interest in helping reduce vehicle pollution, willingnesschęć, gotowość to pay extra for 'green' products, and thinking of oneself as an avidzapalony, gorliwy recyclerosoba zajmująca się odzyskiwaniem surowców."

But concurringto concur: zgadzać się with the notion that hybridkrzyżówka, hybryda car demand is rising only partly thanks to environmental awarenessświadomość, the report asserts that "owners of hybridkrzyżówka, hybryda-electric cars also have the most extreme expectations that fuel prices will be higher in the future."

Some oil experts believe that the current oil price hikepodwyżka has been buoyedto buoy: podtrzymywać, utrzymywać się by unusual short-termkrótkoterminowy factors, including political instability in Venezuela and Nigeria, aside from the ever-prominentwiecznie widoczny, głośny and rapidly deteriorating Iraq.

When Venezuela and Nigeria re-stabilize, and when new sources (primarily from the Caspian region) come on-line, world oil prices may start to fall. But in the medium term, predictions tend to see world production falling.

In this respect, the current oil price spike (and possibly the related hybridkrzyżówka, hybryda car demand surgenagły skok, wzrost) is a dry runprzedbieg, wstępne stadium of a more permanentstały price risewzrost in the medium term. The only realistic solution to world oil scarcity niedostatek, niedobóris surely a reduction in consumption.

For consumers, the switch to hybridkrzyżówka, hybryda cars may be relatively easy. For governments who siphonodsysać, przelewać up to 80 percent of petrol-pump price off to the Treasury, a crucial source of state revenuedochód, przychód will be in mortalśmiertelny danger.
