A tale of Super Trucks and Drones: Ford’s challenge towards all technicians out there!

2017 Ford F-450 Super Duty It looks as Ford team is proud of their new 2017 F-Series Super Duty Truck and do want everyone to see it rolling. And what did they do? Take the vantage point to the next level. Quite literally.

What Ford crew is planning, is indeed to take the mighty truck for a walk and the same time record the beast in action with a drone. Their personal signature drone machine. The Super Duty truck will be captured in bird’s-eye view all across rural roads and mountain passes outside Denver. It sounds good to me!

2017 Ford F-450 Super Duty

The fresh and challenge-ready machine is by far the most capable Super Duty truck ever created with best-in-class maximum gooseneck towing capacity of 32,500 pounds on the F-450 and class-leading fifth-wheel towing capacity of 27,500 pounds. And let’s not forget about best in class conventional towing of 21,000 pounds.

But there is one more reason for this project, along with the show-off. Ford, along with their partner DJI, the world leader in professional-grade drone systems rise the challenge to all technology freaks out there: the idea is to make an adequate software, capable of reaching the requirements of the United Nations Development Program that can inspect emergency zones that are inaccessible to even the most capable, powerful and flexible vehicles ever created.

So, how do you find the challenge? Would you take partin it? Write down your thoughts in the comment section below! And don’t forget to share with us your idea and prizes from the project!

INFINITI shows VC-T system this September. Should we be hyped?

INFINITI team will try to tweak the world of inner combustion engines

INFINITI team will presents the Variable Compression-Turbocharged power unit at the 2016 Paris Motor Show on September 29. What is interesting about this thing is that the engineering team claims that there have been decades of researches and experiments before finally get satisfying results. Incredible, right?

The VC-T technology is expected to mark a new chapter in the making of internal combustion power units: what it does is to remove the fixed compression ratio. The innovation lies in the ability to transform and raise and lower the height of the pistons reach. Technically (and at this moment theoretically) this means that the compression ratio can vary between 8:1 (for more aggressive driving) and 14:1 (for smoother and more efficient ride). At the moment, what is known is that all the changes will be done automatically: depending on the road situation and driver’s on-road character.

We do expect that the VC-T technology would deliver numerous benefits to buyers as reducing fuel consumption, emissions, noise and vibrations. It does sound as ridiculous advertisement, doesn’t it? The whole system will also be lighter and more compact, compared to classic engine types. Okay, now it sounds as one.

INFINITI VC-T

Basically, it is good to hear that new and unconventional stuff is being made. But we have all heard numerous bombastic news already that turned out to be some stupid attention-seeking, but who knows? After all we talk about INFINITI: this brand has proven worthy over the years..

Nissan Navara with Euro6 engines? It was about time!

Nissan team hasn’t finished with upgrades yet

Nissan enthusiasts and pick-up fans are granted with one more reason to rethink buying a Navara truck. We all know that this is one of brand’s most successful lineups and we all know that 2016 model is the big winner at this year’s International Pick-up Award. What we did not know is that Nissan team decided to go beyond prizes and recognitions.

New summer, new engine type

And here it is: fresh, shiny and clean Euro 6-compliant power unit. Nice and powerful. Flexible and efficient. Such a beauty…or maybe no? However, the big upgrade covers both the 190hp (141kW) and 160hp (119kW) versions. These are 2.3-liter dCi diesel systems and their offering is clear: reduction with 8g/km of CO2 emissions, compared to the Euro5 units to a total of 159g/km, while the Official Combined Cycle marks improvement with 1.4mpg to 46.3mpg. Well, when you think about it, the change is not that dramatic, but hey, who cares? We got some fresh new gadgets over here!

Okay, let’s get serious here. The reduction rates are not that spectacular, but what the new engines offer is reduction in oxides of nitrogen, thanks to the new Selective Catalyst Reduction system. Also, the AdBlue tank is especially tweaked to offer more flexibility for the user. Its capacity is a total of 17 liters of liquid, which allows up to 7,150 miles of coverage with single a fill. Also, there are some digital additions: a special app will show details and condition of the AdBlue system onto Navara’s colorful LCD monitor. Sweet.

And the good news? This is not all! Nissan Navara also receives Idle-Stop System for reduced fuel consumption for all manual models, Cruise Control with Speed Limiter, Bluetooth hands-free audio controls and multifunctional steering wheel.

The sides are clean and do not show anything that should not be there, while the back shares this concept: it is tight, muscular and clean. Beautiful.

Performance, numbers and more

So, what more could be said about the drive system? The plug-in hybrid system blends together innovations from the world of combustion power units and electric systems. Or, in other words, the 255hp (190kW) and 295 lb-ft of torque machine offers some more dynamics and power, all generated far more efficiently and confidently.

And when this power unit works in harmony with the hybrid system, the overall output rises to a total of 322hp (240kW) and 369lb-ft. Massive, right? And when in optimal conditions and power setup the vehicle can reach 100 kilometers per hour in mere 5.1 seconds and then chase an electronically limited top speed of 279km/h (155mph).

BMW 740Le xDrive iPerformance

So, BMW team still proves itself worthy, even in the new world of economy, electricity and flexibility. Honestly said, we do love BMW and all of brand’s machines. And there is a fine reason for that.
