Car Brands Are The Honda Civic Hybrid

Honda Civic Hybrid car brands is one of the characteristics and changes in the Honda Civic hybrid electric drive. Honda Civic Hybrid was introduced in Japan in December 2001 in the US, it is the first hybrid car that is certified as a Zero Emission Vehicle Advanced Technology-Partial (AT-PZEV) by the California Air Resources Board.

The Civic Hybrid uses the same Integrated Motor Assist hybrid Honda Insight. The first models of 2001-2005 a manual 5-speed gearbox is used, while the newer models have an automatic continuously variable transmission. Civic Hybrid sedan will be marketed in the configuration until 2013 when Honda introduced a five-door.

Civic Hybrid, based on the seventh generation Civic, first introduced in December 2001 in the Japanese market Honda said it is the vehicle seats five with petrol engine produces more fuel-efficient in the world at that time. Presentation in the US as a model in 2003, this is in the spring of 2002, the first hybrid vehicle as Partial Zero Emission Vehicle Technology-Advanced (AT-PZEV) certified by the California Air Resources Board.

Design
The first generation Honda Civic Hybrid is based on the seventh generation Honda Civic. This is the first large Honda car with a gasoline-electric hybrid system and a hybrid of the two companies after penetration. The models with manual 46 qualified cities mpg US (5.1 L / 100 km; 55 mpg-imp) / 51 mpg highway US (4.6 L / 100 km; 61 mpg-imp) in accordance with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates fuel economy at the same combined mileage like the Toyota Prius, and will hatchback ever sold five passengers of the lowest fuel consumption in North America at the time.

Here is a list of technical specifications:

1. twin Plugs ignite the lean air-fuel mixture is fed into a combustion chamber, two valves.
2. single-engine engine camshaft i-DSI head -1.3 liters LEAN engine with VTEC Cylinder cutting system so that three cylinders deactivated during deceleration. This machine is capable of producing 85 hp (63 kW) at 5700 revolutions per minute and 87 ft-lb (118 Nm) of torque at 3300 revolutions per minute.
3. Stop -idle - stopped at a traffic light that automatically turns off the engine and then back on immediately when the driver takes his foot off the brake, which contributes to low fuel consumption and increased emissions reduced.
4. 10 KW (13 hp) brushless permanent magnet assist motor, which serves as a generator during deceleration to charge the battery (brakes).
5. Both the motor and the electric motor -Incorporating is 93 hp (69 kW) at 5700 revolutions per minute. The maximum torque of 116 foot pounds (157 Nm) at 1500 rpm for manual transmission models and 105 lb · ft (142 N · m) at 3000 rpm for CVT models.
6. 144 V nickel-metal hydride battery with a capacity of 6.0 A · h.
7. Honda MultiMatic S continuously variable transmission or 5-speed manual gearbox.
8. ULEV OR AT-PZEV certification by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
9. Low Rolling resistance tires (P185 / 70R14) on aluminum and regenerative braking wheels.
10. electric power steering.

Hybrid badging in the generation used 2001-2005
A electric motor, which in between the gasoline engine and transmission, to 13 horses. the motor acts as a generator the battery nickel-metal hybride is the car between the rear seats and the trunk, and as a starter for charging.

The Civic hybrid engine is about one-quarter inch (6.4 mm) thicker than the Insight. With the improvement of DC motors without brushes solenoid that is 30 percent larger and help to increase the regenerative torque than previous models, without the size.

This produces more torque (46 vs 36 lb-ft) of Insight engine. Electricity stored in a battery, consisting of 120 1.2 Volt D cell Ni-MH are connected in series. The battery can be charged and discharged more quickly and efficiently despite a lower overall capacity of Insight (6.0 vs 6.5 AH). The efficiency of the battery module is increased by a reduction in the energy losses. The battery is placed called with an electric control in a package Intelligent Power Unit (IPU). The new packaging reduces the size of 50 percent of the system and allows the placement of the IMA team behind the rear seats in the boot. The device weighs only 63 pounds (29 kg) and a third less than the Insight.

The second spark plug in each cylinder can be sequentially or simultaneously pull what more efficient combustion of lean combustion mode and usually lean operation. 1 air-fuel ratio of about 60 percent of the time on a flat road: The engine can operate in a lean 22nd System cylinder VTEC engine closed during idle valve on three of the four cylinders, if the car brakes, whereby the loss of 50 percent of the engine power and allow IMA to extract more power when braking. rocker actuation valve inlet and outlet arm has two modes: valve or in standby mode. They pledged by the piston synchronization. During the delay, the piston synchronization mode lift solves swing so that the valves remain calm, efficient sealing of the cylinder.

Stop function idle automatically turns the motor off, then back on immediately when the driver takes his foot off the brake. This automatic idle stop system contributes to both higher fuel economy and reduced emissions. During a stop and go driving of the engine when the vehicle stops for the first time, however, when the carriage is not more than 10 mph (16 km / h) and the motor stops again does not work out, if the vehicle for more than 15 seconds is stoppe, With the help of an electric motor, the combined torque of 3700 rpm under greater than the non-hybrid Civic 1.7L engine.

Energy efficiency will be further increased by six percent: a new front spoiler and rear wing, and the plate under the revised body, which reduces the drag coefficient from 0.30 to 0 28; Replacing the conventional hydraulic power steering as a result of reduced parasitic losses and low rolling resistance tires especially. Dunlop tires improves ride quality and reduces road noise compared to other hybrids like the Prius and Insight. Compared with the Insight, wider tires improve the stability at high speeds. Car and Driver reports that the car can (0-97 km / h) speed in 10.9 seconds from 0-60 mph.

fuel Consumption
The Civic Hybrid is estimated to be 40 percent more efficient than non-hybrid counterpart. Prizes and awards:

• Civic Hybrid engine won the International Engine Year "1 liter to 1.4 liters" category of the size of the award long for three consecutive years from 2002 to 2004 in the category "best fuel economy" for 2003 and of 2004.
• 2003 by the American Council environmentally friendly recognized for energy-efficient economy in ten vehicles: tied for the third best score with a Toyota Prius.
