The British cabinet within the limits of the help to a car industry has allocated companies Land Rover the solid sum for working out and building of absolutely new car, base for which will be concept car LRX debuting for general public on last year’s NAIAS.

The government of the Great Britain has confirmed possibility of granting Land Rover of the grant at a rate of £27 million In the company near future it is necessary to make the definitive decision concerning time of start of a batch production of a novelty at the factory.

The grant is given within the limits of the governmental program of delivery of investment grants for business and becomes rather powerful investment at a total cost of the project in £400 million Given financial help will be rendered in addition to the large-scale program on support of motor-car manufacturers which recently also it has been declared by the government.

In spite of the fact that the project should pass some more coordination before it will be definitively approved and started, Land Rover has already confirmed, that the new car becomes the major addition to a ruler magnificent Range Rover.

According to the head of company Fila Pofema, it will be “the small, easy and effective Range Rover from everything ever made by mark”. The compact size, smaller weight of a luxury off-road car, and also technologies LRX focused on protection of environment, become a direct illustration of how Land Rover plans to react to inquiries of the varying world.

New Range Rover will combine the highest level of refinement and width of possibilities of the car, and also will present new parametrs of transmission so it is possible to consider its creation as a serious step forward in relisation of strategy Land Rover on introduction of technologies e-terrain, and also achievement in cutting-down of blowouts CO2 on 20 %.

Auto concern Nissan has started test tests of crossover X-Trail FCV familiar to the worlds car lovers which, unlike the “standard” colleagues known for “gluttony” and the negligent relation to environment, will be the ardent fighter for ecology.

So-called fuel cells of following generation (New-generation FC Stack) became an energy source for the Japanese off-road car. The new power-plant on 25 % is less, than previous, also provides in 1,4 times of more power - 130 kw (174 h.p.) instead of former 90 kw.

Company Nissan has begun laboratory researches of a novelty in the end of 2008, and in February 2009 has started all-weather tests of the car equipped New-generation FC Stack.

At the cars working on fuel cells, sensitivity to low temperatures is very high. New materials electric membranes have allowed to expand considerably a temperature range of use of the car with such energy source.

Let’s remind, the essence of work of fuel cells consists that hydrogen, passing through them, turns to a pure distilled water, developing in passing the current flow necessary for the electric motor, rotating wheels. FC Stack new generation is a part “Green Program” (Nissan Green Program 2010) in which frameworks the new technologies are created, allowing to lower harmful influence of cars on environment.

Today Touareg - the first off-road car of a representation class. It became an embodiment of essentially new concept Volkswagen, having united qualities of an excellent off-road car with comfort of a sedan and dynamics of a sports car.

The scale of engines makes petrol V6 (3,2 l / of 220 h.p.) and V8, power 228 кВт/310 h.p., and also 5-litre diesel engine V10 TDI (230 kw / of 313 h.p.). Subsequently it is planned to add this number five-cylinder TDI 2,5 l. Of 128 kw / of 174 h.p. Together with these engines can work as power both mechanical, and an automatic six-step gear box.
High off-road qualities to the car are provided with new electronic system of an all wheel drive. In a usual mode the system distributes energy of the engine between a lobby and a rear axle. In a case one of wheels, this wheel is braked, and the engine power is transferred to other wheels. In other case, for example at powerful speedup, the system throws more powers on rear wheels to make speedup as much as possible effective. Besides, VW Touareg it is equipped with a blocked interaxle differential, and has the “depressed” number of transmission that speaks about its serious off-road abilities.

Some words about comfort. Touareg it is completed by system Keyless, not only removing from protection of the car when the owner approaches to it (and, accordingly, putting on protection when the owner departs from the car), but also allowing to get the engine simple pressing of the button.

Set of various capacities which settle down in interior, all will help to place with the maximum comfort necessary for you in road. So, at height of elbows of the driver you will find the big central armrest in which the highlighted glove compartment has settled down. If to cast away an armrest upwards, there is accessible a holder for a bottle in volume to 1 l. Surprising spaciousness differs cooled by the air conditioner. The locked shelf on the top panel of devices is irreplaceable for various trifles.

Separately it is necessary to tell about light equipment of the car. All five places for sitting are supplied by sources of night illumination. Light sources are located in a vanity mirror and constantly shine all central extension housing, therefore full darkness in interior does not happen never. In parallel with ceiling illumination there is also an illumination of space for feet, illumination of thresholds and handles of doors, supplement a picture highlighted makeup mirrors. Besides, the complete set engages a pocket flashlight and separate sources of illumination in a motor compartment and a luggage compartment.

Excellent noise isolation of interior provide: threefold system of door sealants, acoustic glass, high ruggedness of details from a sheet steel and use loudless designs from aluminium.

High level of safety of the car is reached by installation of such systems as: system of stabilisation ESP, the pressure monitoring system in tyres (RDK), an independent suspension, an all wheel drive 4XMOTION, АBS, EBC (prevents short-term blocking of wheels at engine braking) and HBA (brake assis). At will of Touareg can be equipped by the device of a comfortable parking. Ultrasonic gauges define presence of an obstacle in distance to 120 centimetres in front and to 150 centimetres behind the car.
