MONDIAL DE L'AUTO PARIS
AUTOMOTIVE A TO Z CHARITY CONTACT HOME SITE INDEX
The
Mondial De L'Auto Show in Paris, France, in 2018 is a superb event for motoring enthusiasts looking
for the latest development in automotive technology, electric cars and petrol
and diesel powered cars that will be obsolete as Climate
Change climbs the international agendas of the United Nations and
member Governments and suppliers around the world. To
combat climate change we need low
carbon vehicles that many manufacturers are now producing in limited
numbers all the while they may continue to produce internal combustion
engines that pollute the air we breathe and acidify our oceans. At
the moment motor car and truck makers can legitimately argue that selling
petrol and diesel vehicles is the only way to
keep the economies of the world ticking over until there are some serious
changes to the way energy is made available by way of a decent EV or other
low carbon infrastructure. As
we write the most promising solution and one that may trigger the interest
of any administration with Circular
Economy objectives is based on mechanical handling and digital control
of small containers or cartridges that might fit into any conventional
vehicle configuration with the minimum of adaptation - but is especially
suitable for Electric Vehicles FOR
CARS WE NEED ROADS What
then about our roads. Will they be up to scratch for low carbon motoring
and more importantly, will there be handy charge points so that your
gleaming show car is not stranded on a roadside in the middle of nowhere.
Obviously, this is not your problem because you don't make National Policy
or decide the Budget. But it might be nice is there was a plan of action -
where at the moment there is not (Feb 2018), though Patrick
McLoughlin has in the past shown that he cares about roads and
transport. Barcelona

International INTEGRATION
- The Cleaner
Ocean Foundation is of the opinion that road building should not be
divorced from other considerations during the planning and execution
stages of electrifying our roads. In the modern world where climate change is high on international
agendas there should be provision for sufficient power supplies to enable
the use of low carbon vehicles, such as electric trucks and cars, in sufficient number
that petrol and diesel
cars and trucks become a thing of the past. One way of doing this is for
all new roads to be planned with an integrated approach to align with the
National
Grid of the country concerned. Flexible
tarmac roads typically last 30 years is well made, service tunnels should
be incorporated on all new builds to prevent roads works that delay
traffic. Service access conduits should run alongside all new roads
(water, electricity, telecommunications, etc) to keep traffic moving
efficiently. Planning ahead for servicing is sustainable planning. Most
British roads were obsolete the moment they were built. The
picture above may look quaint but the road should have been wider with at
least one service conduit running parallel. Roads like this in the country
are the subject of constant works and repairs to subsidence. The road tax
on 25,000,000 million registered vehicles even if only 50% is collected
would be al least £1.25 billion pounds in revenue that should be spent on
road building and management, granted that EVs are exempt, hence revenues
will gradually reduce. There will have to be a sliding scale as EVs become
more popular where they are charged to top up a road fund. Especially when
electric or hybrid super trucks come online that create substantially more
road wear.
SMARTER
SERVICE STATIONS
- This concept EV forecourt offers between 7.68 - 15.36MWh of solar
assisted energy storage with a capacity of between 48-96 battery
cartridges on a continuous charge cycle. Five of these stations (76.8MW)
could recharge (refuel) up to 10 trucks or cars a minute at peak times. During
rush hour, up to 300 vehicles might be serviced in one hour if drivers act
diligently - for example there is no
need to get out of a vehicle at all using automated billing - but this would require registered users.
The truck shown in these AutoCAD drawings is 3.55 wide x 3.5 high x 7.7M
long (8 x 11.5 x 25 feet). This station could accommodate trucks 4.46M
(14.77 feet) high as shown, or with a raised roof, almost any truck
currently on the market - though longer thinner trucks are more fuel
efficient. During
an eight hour day 2,400 trucks might be serviced using five forecourts on
the assumption that we start every morning with 96 x 5 = 480 slow charged
cartridges from off-peak supplies. The same forecourt might be used to
service fuel-cell
cars powered by stabilized hydrogen.
One size fits all. The secret is to KISS
the design (Keep It Simple Silly). There are only 28* moving parts in this
station, not including the gearbox for the solar powered drive motor. This
is possible because with this system the vehicles load the cartridges
themselves. MOTOR
