Again, the U.S. car industry is in deep trouble. This does not learn from the energy crisis of 1973. This does not learn from the experience of Chrysler. This does not learn from Toyota. It continues to rely on old, tired concept and the CEO are held in their positions by the nepotism and the board do not understand the automotive business.
In a joint effort to ask the U.S. government $ 25 billion loan to the Big Three. They argue that the government demands for greater fuel efficiency is too expensive to implement and requires large amounts of capital for the update.
Let us assume now that argument has some merit. But what about companies with manufacturing facilities around the world have failed to see a steady increase in the price of fuel and did not see the warning signs raised by governments around the world who want to limit greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel consumption. This is inexcusable neglect.
Efforts of the U.S. government and Europe to limit fuel consumption misguided, counterproductive, and mandatory. A comprehensive analysis quickly shows that we really need to limit and eventually prevent the emission of greenhouse gases.
OPEC countries will continue to increase their unstoppable price of oil. He could not electric cars, CNG-powered cars and hydrogen powered cars prevent carbon dioxide emissions is understandable and we will make our country independent of OPEC imports.
There are companies that rely heavily on changing preferences and changes in national and international markets. Industrial companies would follow the political furor will be punished sooner or later. The government can design cars to market.
The world is reduced to using cars, trucks, trains, ships, and aircraft for the next century and will have powers that most of them with a liquid transportation fuels. We may be able to use less of them, we can reduce energy consumption, we can use another form of energy for transportation, and we can produce oil substitutes from biomass. We can even produce biomass without competing with food crops is very important.
To reduce fuel consumption quickly, the automotive industry is forced to deal with outstanding performance. American drivers can not avoid covering a distance longer than the European or Japanese drivers. American drivers have less access to public transport, have larger families, and driving on different road types. Automotive companies must listen to their customers. Toyota and Honda have been listening to the most successful.
American and foreign car companies have developed a range of comfortable cars with a variety of utilitarian and luxury features. Sporty cars and SUVs that is attracting many buyers. All cars will offer a wide selection of comfort and entertainment features. One of the major car components has received only marginal attention, it is an internal combustion engine is much maligned.
Many modern engineering wonders of the internal combustion engine. Materials, manufacturing processes, particularly marginal and components has grown to unprecedented levels of performance and longevity. The final boundary that had escaped the attention worthy. The machine will burn very energy efficient. This is the kind of machines that need to develop automotive engines, this is a machine that legislators make it mandatory. This is the machine that we need to use for at least centuries more.
Long-term automotive industry has developed, a completely new advanced internal combustion engines!
Average energy efficiency of the global supply of combustion engines somewhere under the middle twenties. Energy efficiency can not grow without limit. When approaching a 50% efficiency mark, it will be difficult and very expensive to improve efficiency with a single cent. Advanced automotive engine operating in the mid thirties. Great mower stationary mark of 45%. Large machines on trains and boats to be 40% higher. Looking at the total supply of the world, we may still have the chance to almost double the energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption in half the current list.
We can not achieve this goal through legislative automobile fuel use only. We can achieve optimal energy efficiency just by re-engineering processes that occur in and around the internal combustion chamber.
We know that higher compression ratio will improve energy efficiency, we know how to produce high-octane fuel, we know why diesel engines are more efficient, we know how to reduce the formation of pollutants. The automotive industry has developed a wide range of sophisticated electronic components for a single cylinder fuel injection, for precise control of motion of the valve and ignition timing, and for recovering waste energy in the exhaust gases.
No company seems to have found the courage to jump on the competition and develop a successor to the concept more than two centuries old machines, Otto and Diesel engines.
If the U.S. government decided to extend the loan $ 25000000000 for the automotive industry, you must attach some conditions. The loan must be secured and should have priority over shareholders ‘equity’. This loan must pay higher wages to ensure that managers are tied to other Chief Officers as the top U. President S.. Yesterday must obscene bonuses to be paid only after a waiting period of at least five years, where previously agreed management objectives have met or exceeded.
We must stop the looting of the treasury common manufacturing companies of the United States by unscrupulous investors. Investors do not do anything of lasting value. They harbored too to destroy the company as well as healthy. We can not continue to give a few select and impoverish irreparably damaged our country.
