Today Car manufactures are giving huge discounts and signaling
price hike. Discounts are in the form off:
Free insurance
Free accessories
Festival offers
Cash discounts
Discounts on exchange offers
Price increases are due to various factors like:
Increase in fuel prices
Increase in input cost
Increase in freight charges
Though this may sound as marketing tactics, but this has
fueled a crisis for new innovations in car products and new technology.
PEUGEOT RCZ:
French car manufacturer Peugeot has developed a car, Peugeot RCZ , that changes
the car body color as per the mood of the driver. The specialized paint used is
called as psycho-chromatic coating or mood paint. The new Peugeot RCZ uses the
heat sensors integrated technology that reads the body temperature, pulse rate
and heart rate of the driver via the steering wheel. This sensor technology is
already used in tread mills. The specialized paint alters the molecular
structure of the paint and triggers to emit light at different wave length with
respect to the mood of the driver and that changes the color of the car.
FUEL-CELL: Another new technology that has been developed
by Japan Car Manufacturer uses human sewage as fuel. Today when petrol and
diesel are getting costlier, this new technology could be a great gift and
eco-friendly. The process in fuel-cell model involves by generating methane gas
from sludge. Methane gas is then reheated to produce hydrogen gas that powers
the vehicle.
This technology cuts carbon emissions by 75% and environment
friendly. Fuel-cell vehicles may one day become a zero emission vehicle on comparison
with electrical vehicles that depends on electricity often powered by fossil fuels.
Bottle-neck in this new technology is water, because water
is the by-product that comes out of the exhaust pipe. One more hurdle is the development
of infrastructure needed for refueling process. Top Car Manufactures are Toyota,
Honda, Benz, Nissan are funding and working on this fuel-cell projects.
