Solar Car Carriers See The Light Of Day With Hybrid Power
Good news for all the environmentalists out there
, as this month more than 6 thousand Toyota hybrid models will be arriving at the Los Angeles East Coast on a 65 thousand ton hybrid ship which receives a portion of its power from sunlight. An enormous amount of solar cells are attached to the giant carrier so as to reduce carbon dioxide emissions into the environment.The Toyota hybrids will be arriving through the Pacific Ocean and into the United States, where they would reach the Los Angeles East coast, thereby, unloading all the Toyota hybrids at the port. From there the vehicles will be transported off to car dealerships and showrooms by means of car carriers. Customers can log on to the car dealership website where they will find everything car related everything from the latest Toyota hybrid models to their specifications. Customers can then order the vehicles and through car delivery service get them without the hassle of going to the dealership and having to spend so much time and effort picking out the cars.
There might be a problem regarding car delivery as most of the car carriers services only support interstate car transport and delivery such is the case with most dealerships of California, New Jerseyand IL.Most of the car transport takes place in these states due to the sheer demand of hybrids which is sweeping the United States.
In spite of the entire struggle they had to put up by adding the solar cells, only 1% of the total energy needs of the hybrid ship were facilitated, which in turn meant more than 14 tons of fuel saved. This it was the record for the most amount of fuel saved by a ship during a half cycle. One of the problems that the technicians came under was the dependence of solar power on weather. Due to this, there was a great deal of spikes in the amount of solar energy absorbed due to a cloud cover even for a small duration.
The Japanese engineers onboard tried to increase the amount of solar cells, but this did not help towards the solution at all, said the correspondent. The only solution to this problem seems to be a gigantic battery which has the capacity of storing a great deal of power.
The production of such a prolific project cost a huge fortune as it took about three years to finally complete. The ship has is powered by ultra-powered nickel-hydrogen batteries, these were manufactured in Japan by Kawasaki.
To take the environmentally friendly crusade to another height, the Auriga Leader diesel generator will operate on a fuel that has low percentage of sculpture.
If this project is successful then there will be a significant decrease as far as the price of a Toyota hybrid is concerned as there will be a significant percentage saving in the fuel cost of the cargo ship. This will facilitate in the commercialization of such a project, thereby increasing the number of hybrid solar powered ships sailing the seas. Therefore, the number of car transport, car delivery and other freight transport services would be subsidized due to the net profit gained by saving energy.
