21 Transport: engine, fuel and cars of the near future

[Christophe]

The Quebec engineer Pierre Langlois has been publishing for 3 months a review called Transport 21 which summarizes the various advances of the moment in terms of "less dirty" transport.

Here are the first 2 numbers:

a) June 2009: https://www.econologie.info/share/partag ... TAM04C.pdf
https://www.econologie.com/t21-hydrides- ... -4178.html


Summary: rechargeable hybrids (plug-in), all electric, proto or demonstrator "conversions" (thermal to electric), new fuels and policies and regulations (changes linked to the Obama administration)

b) July 2009:
https://www.econologie.info/share/partag ... Dgd7pW.pdf
https://www.econologie.com/t21-petites-v ... -4179.html

Summary: small electric cars and hybrid scooters, electric scooters, urban land transport, policies and regulations, new fuels (ExxonMobil is investing $ 600 million in R&D for algae biofuels)

It will interest any ecologist who is interested in near or far transport!

[I Citro]

These documents are of course of a very high quality.
The eminent Pierre LANGLOIS makes here a
excellent synthesis of the news of transport of the future.

We are not here in speculations or smoking hypotheses about feasibility. All scientific, macro economic, geostrategic, industrial data ... are verified.


Thank you Christophe for this subject.
It highlights that most of the proposals of the "traditional" automakers are dramatically mediocre and ride the wave of the divergent spiral dear to Michel Kieffer .
We see here from them a riot of oversized, overpowered vehicles and on priced.

Unacceptable defects in the rapid development of effective modes of propulsion. We can easily deduce that only the profits of companies, shareholders and governments slow progress ...

[Christophe]

Thank you Citro but it is on P. Langlois that we must thank.

He has just published a short explanatory video of his book: https://www.econologie.com/rouler-sans-p ... -4160.html

Well it's a bit chauvinistic anyway! What is not beautiful our TGV?

Sinon the 5 21 Transport Number is published and there is precisely a comparison TGV / monorail.

I still remember that most French tram or RER are manufactured by Bombardier, a Canadian company, major competitor of alstom!

[Christophe]

Transport number 6 21 is available with a "nice" part 1 on compressed air traction which should put some "dreamers" back in place:

- 21 Transport 6 number

To be completed by: https://www.econologie.com/voiture-a-air ... -3973.html

[Christophe]

And here is the 7 number!

Summary:

- The VW Up Lite, a hybrid concept car that consumes 2,44 L / 100 km
- Official launch of the Prius pluggable
- Toyota Industries Corp. develops solar charging stations
- Parity of solar PV electricity with that of the network in the United States
- Reloading vehicles with more nuclear energy makes no sense

They also have a factory in Belgium! (former Brugeoise and Nivelles)? That's good ! In Flanders unfortunately

[Christophe]

No, if you say it's possible ...

But hey, Belgium is not France ... well, it is "more" or "not yet" France ... (hihihihi there are Flemings who will not like that)

[elephant]

There has never been any serious question of attaching Wallonia to a country as undemocratic as France . And unless you're mistaken, you pay your taxes in Belgium, right?

[Christophe]

Roh right now the big words ...

The FR, it was democratic before Sarko

Yes for taxes but I do not see what my personal situation comes to do in the discussion ...
