In recent years, the popularity of ‘green’ cars has been steadily increasing across the country. When people think of fuel efficient cars, the first thing they think of is hybrid gas-electric cars. However, technological advancements in hybrids have resulted in the emergence of hybrid electric diesel cars. Auto companies such as Ford, General Motors, and others are developing consumer hybrid diesel vehicles which are showing to be even more fuel efficient than hybrid gas-electric cars.
Diesel hybrid technology is not new technology. This type of technology has been used in large commercial vehicles such as trains, buses, large transport vehicles…etc. Using diesel hybrid technologies decreases fuel consumption by using the electric motor in carbon emission producing situations such as idling and accelerating. An important benefit of combining a diesel engine with an electric motor is it helps auto manufactures comply with strict government emission standards. Other commercial hybrid electric diesel vehicles that have been developed include: GM’s hybrid diesel-electric military truck, mining vehicles such as the Keaton Vandersteen LeTourneau L-2350 wheel loader, NASA’s big Crawler Transporters, Liebherr T 282B dump truck, Mitsubishi Fuso Canter Eco Hybrid, and various types of hybrid electric tractors.
In recent years, auto companies have now begun releasing diesel hybrid consumer vehicles. For instance, GM unveiled the Opel Astra Diesel Hybrid which they claim boosts fuel economy by 25% over a conventional diesel vehicle. DaimlerChrysler has developed a line of Dodge Ram hybrid electric vehicle diesel pickup trucks. Volkswagen has developed a diesel-electric hybrid version of their Rabbit. They claim only “89 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer is produced.”
For years, hybrid electric diesel vehicles have been developed mostly for commercial purposes. Now these vehicles are being developed for consumers. This new generation of hybrid diesel cars is expected to become as popular as other hybrid cars. For this reason, more insurance companies will be insuring these vehicles allowing hybrid electric diesel owners to take advantage of their ‘green’ discounts. Owners of these vehicles can take advantage of discounts on their auto insurance of up to 10% which will allow them to acquire more cheap insurance quotes resulting in considerable savings, but they will also be doing their part to help protect the environment slow down global warming.

Hybrid Diesel Electric VW Golf Everyone is already aware of what a hybrid electric car is, but there is a way for automakers to take this concept a step further, and that is to create hybrid diesel electric cars. Although at current this is more of a European tradition, the Volkswagen company is bringing it......
The diesel electric hybrid car is a phenomenon that is gaining serious notoriety in Europe, but now Volkswagen is taking this phenomenon one step further and bringing it to the United States by releasing a version of the VW Golf which will be officially unveiled sometime in the latter half of 2009 and intended for the 2010 model year. This is going to be the first American version of a hybrid diesel electric vehicle, making it quite a sensation already though it has at least a year before its official release.
The Golf Hatchback that is being released by Volkswagen is more readily known as the Rabbit in North America. It is planned to be unveiled in Geneva’s upcoming Motor Show. The information that has already been leaked regarding the Volkswagen Golf / Rabbit is quite promising, as this vehicle is said to have a fuel economy of 83.1 miles per gallon imperial, or 69.9 miles per gallon US. This car is offering much lower emissions, only releasing 89 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer, which is a huge improvement over the Toyota Prius Hybrid, which in comparison emits 104 grams per kilometer of carbon dioxide.
The diesel engine that is being used in this unique Golf Hybrid from Volkswagen has been developed specifically to cater to consumers in the United States market, with Californian consumers targeted specifically. For this reason, this engine is going to meet all Euro 5 emissions criteria as well as passing the Tier 2 Bin 5 emissions standards, which is an even more stringent set of emissions standards. If you combine this with the fact that many forms of bio diesel are now being crafted from algae, and you will find yourself driving a much greener car than what is currently being offered on the road.
According to the station that first leaked the news about the Volkswagen Golf Hybrid Electric Vehicle, the technology that is going to be used in the Volkswagen Golf Hybrid is also going to be utilized in a wide variety of Volkswagen Group models including the Jetta Saloon, which is a sedan that sells in much greater numbers in the United States than both the Audi A3 and Rabbit combined.
A lot of information is still unknown about this particular vehicle, but what is known is relatively clear: A phenomenon that is quite popular in European countries, the hybrid diesel electric vehicle, is on its way to the United States and the rest of North America, giving American consumers a chance to take advantage of this unique technology which provides excellent mileage and lower emissions than many other hybrid vehicles. Diesel Electric Hybrid vehicles are vehicles that combine diesel engines with electric engines, allowing for vehicles that create less emissions, get more power on less gas, and are a great deal “greener” just by nature. Volkswagen is clearly taking the next logical step in green vehicle technology by providing the United States with a unique hybrid vehicle that truly packs a punch.

Everyone is already aware of what a hybrid electric car is, but there is a way for automakers to take this concept a step further, and that is to create hybrid diesel electric cars. Although at current this is more of a European tradition, the Volkswagen company is bringing it to America by releasing the VW Golf, a hybrid diesel electric vehicle that is set to be released in the 2010 model year. This is the first American version of a hybrid diesel electric car, which not only operates on a mix of gasoline and electric power to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions and boost gas mileage, but it also makes use of diesel instead of traditional gasoline which has really spectacular implications.
The reason why a hybrid diesel electric vehicle is such a unique and exciting proposition is because there are so many technologies that are being researched and created surrounding the concept of bio diesel, or naturally grown diesel that will prevent us from having to rely on the oil trade and foreign trade for gasoline. Bio diesel is a type of diesel fuel that can be biologically created using natural products like corn, soy and even algae. Not only will this free our country from having to rely on foreign oil supplies to generate gasoline, but it also means less greenhouse gas emissions and healthier, less harmful emissions overall because bio diesel burns much more cleanly than any other form of gasoline or oil out there.
So what this means for the United States is that while hybrid electric vehicles are already highly sought after, and really making a mark in the auto industry, automakers are not finished. They are still working to release interesting new technologies, and one of those technologies is the hybrid diesel electric car, which is beginning with the release of the Volkswagen Golf for the 2010 model year, and which will clearly expand into other vehicles and newer technologies as time goes by. The adoption of a vehicle that runs on a combination of electric engine and diesel engine is an exciting proposition because bio diesel is gaining popularity as a cheap way to power a diesel engine car, and the addition of electricity into the mix only makes the vehicle even more fuel efficient and easy on the environment.
Right now because the economy is going through such tumultuous times, it really makes sense that automakers from around the world would look for new technologies that will create increasing demand for cars, and that will create new jobs in the process. With the release of this hybrid diesel electric vehicle, everyone benefits, including the car-buying consumers, the automakers, and those who are employed by the automakers, meaning that these hybrid diesel electric vehicles are a smart choice for everyone and can absolutely benefit the economy while simultaneously benefiting our environment.

The new BMW X5 xDrive35d is one of the new 2009 cars to hit the market, alongside the updated BMW 335d sedan. The X5 xDrive35d is a hybrid that runs on diesel, utilizing the technology that has been tested in the European market for the past couple of years. Now the clean running vehicle will reach the American shores, and this can only mean good things for the US auto industry. The X5 xDrive35d features the German brand’s safety standards and the promise of a sports car like ride. If it were not for the diesel badge on the vehicle, you would think it was a gas SUV.
The same thing can be said for once you climb into the auto. The interiors of the X5 xDrive35d are identical to a BMW gas based SUV, except for the diesel badge and 4k rpm red line. The layout of the console and controls are accented by wood trim and leather. The vehicle can comfortably seat five, while the rear seats can fold for cargo’s sake. There are also more pockets for personal items than a squirrel has places for hiding its food.
The moment you turn the ignition, you will notice that the X5 xDrive35d’s three liter diesel engine comes to life with the faintest of purrs, at the mere press of a button. It quickly idles in to a smooth purr, without any of the characteristic rattling and harsh sound or smelly emissions that one would expect from a diesel engine. The X5 xDrive35d is capable of putting out 265 horses with 425 ft-lbs of torque. The six speed automatic transmission has a brain that encompasses the entire decision free system know as the xDrive. There is also a twin variable, turbo charging system to eliminate lag and bolster the overall performance of the vehicle.
There is plenty of thrust for the driver, as well as a generous amount of grip and push for passing and merging in traffic. All the while the driver is given no clues as to the fact that the car is a diesel fueled hybrid. The reason is that the X5 xDrive35d is outfitted with a BMW engine, which means quality that is unmatched. The most seasoned of drivers will have fun behind the wheel of the X5 xDrive35d. The precision in steering is matched by the diesel engine’s performance, while the chassis and brakes would not be foreign on a more sporty vehicle. Compared to the standard model of the SUV, the diesel engine will consume a quarter less fuel.
The likely buyer of the X5 xDrive35d will be those who drive long distances and those looking to reduce their ecological impact. Others may shy away because of their weariness of diesel technology, but the BMW X5 xDrive35d excellently demonstrates that a compromise free, smooth running diesel engine is possible, and hopefully that will boost expectations and interest in the X5 xDrive35d as well as diesel engines in general.

When it comes to diesel electric hybrid automobiles, the US has to wait until 2010 before we see the first commercial iteration, the VW Golf. For those who cannot wait, and have access to a garage full of power tools, there is an option. That option is the XR3 Hybrid. The kit car is a two passenger diesel electric hybrid. The car can achieve a maximum speed of 80 miles per hour, weighs in at about three quarters of a ton, and can get anywhere from 125 mpg to 225 mpg.
The design is based upon a three wheel platform, which combined with a specially designed hybrid drive system, results in the phenomenal fuel economy so far described. When just using the diesel component, the vehicle achieves 125 miles per gallon. Running hybrid enables the car to be used at the jaw dropping 225 mpg.
The plans that are available for the vehicle can be used to build the XR3 Hybrid, or the system can be integrated into an existing vehicle to improve fuel economy. The overall features that bestow upon the XR3 Hybrid its fuel economy are understood so that they can be implemented into other vehicles to boost their economy. For the enthusiast or experimenter, this is a vehicle that can improve fuel efficiency and provide enjoyable learning.
Fuel economy is achieved through maintaining two limits. The machine must be made as light as possible. Heavier cars need more energy to move, and as a result burn through more gasoline. The overall internal design and features of the system must remove enough mass so as to light, but not so much as to hinder structural stability. After this balance is achieved, the second limit to push is the efficiency of moving the remaining mass of the vehicle. That is where hybrid energy gets utilized.
The hybrid drive is a plug in based system. If you plug in the car, you can get around on the battery alone, for about 40 miles. Combined with the diesel engine, the vehicle becomes able to achieve up to 200 miles per gallon efficiency. Other hybrids are mild hybrids, in that they maintain charge. The electric system helps with acceleration, while the fuel system is what charges the electric system. The plug in hybrid gets its charge from the grid, and uses the electric system for all operations.
Mild hybrids like the Prius also require computer control and intervention to make sure the electric and fuels based systems are in sync. The XR3 is based upon the idea that the two are separate from each other. The front is controlled by the diesel engine while the rear is electric. Choices that are made for the various drive components will ultimately affect the efficiency of the vehicle. To build the vehicle completely to spec would cost upwards of $25,000 dollars. The diesel side of the vehicle would only cost less than $10,000. The separation of the two systems allows the builder to start with diesel, and then later upgrade to hybrid. If you are willing to put in the work and time, the XR3 is the vehicle to get.

One of the fads that seem to be sweeping the nation right now is to drive a diesel hybrid vehicle. But many people are beginning to ask what the real benefits are of driving a diesel vehicle at all. The following is a list of benefits that are associated with diesel engines, making the idea of driving a diesel vehicle one that is well worth considering in the right circumstances.
With a diesel vehicle, you can see an increased fuel economy.
Vehicles that have a diesel engine can operate with a much greater fuel efficiency in relation to vehicles that are fueled by gasoline. This is because diesel engines have higher compression rates capable of producing a greater level of power while consuming less fuel volume. Modern advances relating to high pressure injection systems have allowed the diesel engine fuel economy to increase even more simply by ensuring that the fuel is burnt off efficiently without any waste.
With a diesel vehicle, you can see cleaner gas emissions.
Diesel engines tend to be extremely effective when it comes to reducing how much greenhouse gas is released during the combustion process because diesel engines tend to burn fuel in what is an excess of available air. Advances in these technologies have further helped to reduce how much fuel is required to achieve efficient ignition, and this prevents soot from being released when the diesel engine is in use, which reduces or eliminates the pollution of our environment.
With a diesel vehicle, you can experience cheaper road taxes.
Diesel engines tend to be cleaner burning today more than ever before, and this produces a much smaller level of carbon dioxide in the air. Road taxes are based on the vehicle’s carbon dioxide emissions and not its engine capacity, meaning that by driving a diesel vehicle you will be paying less since your vehicle is cleaner burning than the rest.
With a diesel vehicle, you can see easier maintenance.
Diesel engines tend to function in a unique way in comparison to gasoline engines, and so they do not require complicated systems for electronic fuel injection. By discarding such a system, there is no potential for an ignition failure, and this means that your engine will be more reliable and reduce potential repair costs in turn. You may require more servicing at regular intervals, the servicing itself is significantly less complicated, meaning that a diesel vehicle will be easier for you to maintain in general.
With a diesel vehicle, you can experience increased towing power.
Diesel vehicles tend to have more torque than vehicles that are comparatively sized but drive using gasoline or petrol. Horsepower isn’t the only thing that matters when it comes to your vehicle’s capabilities, after all.
