Ford MyTouch Adds Eco-Route Feature to Save Fuel [Video]

Ford unwrapped its new MyFord Touch infotainment system at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show in January, The fuel-efficiency of an engine is one way to save gas, but how that engine is used greatly effects fuel economy too.

The MyFord system also offers up a bar chart next to the fuel display that shows real-time fuel economy performance along with mpg averages for the past 5, 10, and 30 minutes. Impressive stuff, but Ford has some competition. Garmin's similarly titled ecoRoute software offers many of the same options--it maps the most fuel efficient routes, tracks fuel usage over time, and features a report that keeps track of mileage and fuel use on a per-trip basis.

The new system also provides sophisticated data feedback on the car's fuel consumption that can "coach" drivers to maximize efficiency by pointing them towards the most economical driving techniques.

MyFord Touch will launch on the 2011 Ford Edge this summer, and then in 2012 on the Ford Focus. MyLincoln Touch will be standard on new Lincoln vehicles, starting with the 2011 Lincoln MKX.

DEARBORN, Mich., April 15, 2010 - When it comes to achieving the best
possible fuel mileage the way you drive can be nearly as important as the
vehicle you drive.

Ford's advanced new in-vehicle system - MyFord Touch^TM -
offers an array of real-time information on fuel economy performance that
can coach drivers to get more miles to the gallon and save on fuel costs. In
addition, MyFord Touch's map-based navigation system offers an

Eco-Route option that quickly calculates the most fuel efficient route a
driver can take to get from A to B.

MyFord Touch is the latest innovation from Ford to help drivers optimize
fuel economy. It builds on the fuel efficiency "coaching" concept Ford
pioneered on its SmartGauge^TM with EcoGuide cluster for the 2010
Ford Fusion Hybrid and Mercury Milan Hybrid as well as the all-new 2011
Lincoln MKZ Hybrid. The system provides real-time fuel economy data and
promotes fuel-efficient driving by showing a graphic of growing leaves and
flowers.

"We have learned that when we provide drivers the information and tools
in an interactive and entertaining way, they want to drive more fuel
efficiently," said Jim Buczkowski, director of Global Electrical and
Electronics Systems Engineering. "MyFord Touch provides an unprecedented
level of information and interaction so drivers can make the choice to be
more fuel efficient."

The green road home

When a driver provides a destination to the navigation system, MyFord Touch
accesses historical and real-time traffic data as well as posted speed
information to calculate three navigation options: Fastest, Shortest and
Eco-Route.

Eco-Route is not necessarily the fastest or shortest route but is the
most fuel efficient. Typically, it charts a course that avoids congested
freeways while maximizing the use of major roads where the driver can
maintain an efficient rate of speed. When Ford of Europe engineers tested
the feature, they achieved up to a 15 percent improvement in fuel economy
using the Eco-Route.

"When drivers use Eco-Route - particularly in combination with MyFord
Touch's fuel-economy feedback and fuel-efficient driving techniques - they
can achieve a noticeable increase in fuel efficiency," said Jennifer Brace-Mezigian,
Ford user interface design engineer.

In addition to its Eco-Route feature, MyFord Touch enables drivers to
monitor and track their vehicle's real-time fuel economy performance and
mile-per-gallon averages for the past five, 10 and 30 minutes in the form of
a bar chart next to the fuel gauge on the display. Drivers can customize the
amount of information provided to meet their needs and hone their
eco-driving skills over time.

"MyFord Touch not only gives drivers information they can use to improve
their driving habits, but also expands on that capability by engaging the
navigation system to give drivers a variety of options," Brace-Mezigian
said. "The benefits will be greater because MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch
will be widely available in the future."

Eco-driving tips

The U.S. Energy Information Administration reports that the U.S. uses about
150 billion gallons of gasoline annually. If every driver practiced
eco-driving techniques, which can result in an EPA-estimated 15 percent
benefit in fuel economy, more than 22 billion gallons of gas would be saved.

Eco-driving techniques tested by Ford showed that motorists coached in
eco-driving can significantly improve the fuel economy performance of their
vehicles. Here are simple tips that any driver can use:

1. Slow down and watch speed - Drive 55 mph instead of 65 to save fuel.
   EPA estimates a 10 to 15 percent improvement in fuel economy by
   following this tip. Also, aim for a constant speed. Pumping the
   accelerator sends more fuel into the engine. Using cruise control
   whenever possible on the highway helps maintain speed and conserve fuel.


2. Accelerate and brake smoothly - Accelerating smoothly from a stop
   and braking softly conserves fuel. Fast starts, weaving in and out of
   traffic and hard braking wastes fuel and wears out some of the vehicle
   components, such as brakes and tires, more quickly. Maintain a safe
   distance between vehicles and anticipate traffic conditions to allow for
   more time to brake and accelerate gradually.


3. No idling - Today's engines don't need a warm-up. Start the car
   immediately and gently drive away. Don't leave your car idling.
   Prolonged idling increases emissions and wastes fuel. Turn the engine
   off in non-traffic situations, such as at bank and fast food drive-up
   windows, when idling more than 30 seconds.


4. Check your tires - Keep tires properly inflated to the recommended
   tire pressure. This alone can reduce the average amount of fuel use by 3
   to 4 percent. Under-inflated tires increase rolling resistance and
   reduce fuel economy. They also wear more rapidly. Check the vehicle's
   door-post sticker for minimum cold tire inflation pressure.


5. Be kind to your vehicle - Maintain proper engine tune-up to keep
   vehicles running efficiently. Keep the wheels aligned. Wheels that are
   fighting each other wastes fuel. Replace air filters as recommended. Use
   a fuel with good detergent additives to keep the vehicle engine clean
   and performing efficiently. Always consult the owner's manual for proper
   maintenance.


6. Travel light - Avoid piling a lot of luggage on the roof rack. The
   added frontal area reduces aerodynamics and will hurt fuel economy,
   reducing it by as much as 5 percent. Remove excess weight from the
   vehicle. Unnecessary weight, such as unneeded items in the trunk, makes
   the engine work harder and consumes more fuel.


7. Minimize use of heater and air conditioning - Use heating and air
   conditioning selectively to reduce the load on the engine. Decreasing
   your usage of the air conditioner when temperatures are above 80 degrees
   can help you save 10 to 15 percent of fuel. Use the vent setting as much
   as possible. Park in the shade to keep the vehicle cool and reduce the
   need for air conditioning.


8. Close windows at high speeds - Don't drive with the windows open
   unless you keep your speed under 50 mph. Driving with the windows open
   at highway speeds increases aerodynamic drag on the vehicle and lowers
   fuel economy.


9. Choose the right oil - Use good-quality oils with the viscosity
   grade recommended in the owner's guide. Ford recommends SAE 5W-20 oil
   for most cars and trucks to provide the best fuel economy. Only oils
   "certified for gasoline engines" by the American Petroleum Institute
   with the starburst symbol should be used.


10. Consolidate trips - Plan ahead to consolidate your trips. This will
    enable you to bypass congested routes and lead to less idling.

Press Release

Source of innovation. 25 Years of BMW (Forschung und) Technik GmbH.

Innovative force entails future capability. The BMW Group owes its status as the world's most successful manufacturer of premium automobiles to an outstanding development concept in all areas relevant to driving pleasure, sustainability and safety. The principles of this pre-eminence have been forged over the last quarter of a century in BMW (Forschung und) Technik GmbH. The researchers operating within the framework of this think tank develop technologies and concepts for individual mobility in tomorrow's world. The subsidiary was created 25 years ago as BMW Technik GmbH. With this company the BMW Group has a centre of competence that is unique throughout the world. It safeguards and expands technology leadership for BMW by providing a constant stream of innovations.

This groundwork is carried out autonomously, but it is by no means uncoupled from the development of series vehicles. The experts working in BMW Forschung und Technik GmbH enjoy a high degree of creative freedom that allows them to take innovative approaches and look for unconventional solutions. They make use of diverse sources of inspiration which can range
from bionics to space engineering, and they develop perspectives on the future that extend far beyond the life cycle of a vehicle model. "Our project-related research is not linked to the current product range, although we naturally have the objective of consistently optimising the characteristic features of vehicles coming from the BMW Group and transferring our projects and ideas to series development," explains Professor Raymond Freymann, Managing Director of BMW Forschung und Technik GmbH.

The concept of cooperative research also ensures that the departments responsible for subsequent series development can be integrated within the relevant project at an early stage. This approach guarantees that operations for realisation are already being monitored during the research phase. The initiators of an innovation also support their project after it has been transferred to the pre-production and series development phase. They then move with their project to the series development department at BMW AG. This provides safeguards for ensuring that information is not lost at interfaces, and it promotes a dynamic exchange of ideas on a personal level between research and series development. This strategy facilitates a strategic and efficient use of the innovative force pooled within BMW Forschung und Technik GmbH.

Competence centre in Munich and international network.

The subsidiary company was founded as BMW Technik GmbH in 1985. The main focus of activities in the early years was defined as the development and construction of concept vehicles. The minutes of the Executive Board meeting in January 1985 clearly set out the mission of the fledgling company: "The recently founded company BMW Technik GmbH has the mission to develop innovative, future-oriented and original overall vehicle concepts and sub-concepts away from the constraints of a specific series workflow schedule. However, the objective should always be to develop solutions that have the potential for series development." The initial aim was to work on projects under the working title "Auto 2000" and "Local Vehicle".

When the company was rebranded in 2003 as BMW Forschung und Technik GmbH to reflect both research and technology, the focus was shifted to developing technology that encompassed all types of BMW vehicle. The workforce currently has a headcount of around 200 at the Munich site, and BMW Forschung und Technik GmbH has extensive expertise in the areas of vehicle engineering, hydrogen technologies, alternative drive and energy management concepts, active safety and driver assistance systems, as well as information and communication technologies in the vehicle. The research and technology centre also maintains centres in the USA: the Technology Office Palo Alto in Silicon Valley, California, and the Liaison Office Clemson, South Carolina. They enjoy a close relationship with universities such as Stanford University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as well as research institutes and high-tech companies in other sectors. The aim is to harness innovative trends and technologies for deployment in the automobile sector.

There is also an extensive exchange of ideas with universities and research institutes at German and European level. Participation in the Eurécom European communication network - based at the Sophia Antipolis high-tech centre in southern France - ensures that the research subsidiary of the BMW Group has access to leading-edge information and telecommunication technologies. In addition, BMW Forschung und Technik GmbH has a base at the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence and drives forward the automation of intelligent behaviour and hence the "Automobile of the Future".

The Munich Center of Automotive Research (CAR@TUM) established as a joint venture with Munich Technical University gives the subsidiary of the BMW Group permanent access to high-flying young academics with great potential for the future and it also ensures access to important results derived from ground-breaking scientific research.

BMW Forschung und Technik GmbH also works on state-financed research projects at national and international level together with other automobile manufacturers and suppliers in order to create industry-wide standards, ultimately for the benefit of all customers. One of the latest examples of this work are the field trials for vehicle-to-vehicle communication in the project entitled "Safe mobility - Test bed Germany", abbreviated to simTD.

Anniversary: Premiere for fascinating concept vehicles and pioneering technologies.

The history of BMW Forschung und Technik GmbH has been defined by a long track record of concept vehicles and technological innovations which generated pioneering impetus for the development of series vehicles, components and systems. The influence of research projects exerts varying effects on series development, depending on the subject focus and complexity. The scope ranges from direct implementation in the form of a concrete project to long-term development of technology competence. BMW Group Research and Technology is presenting a selection of projects to celebrate this landmark anniversary. The specialists working at the centre have developed these projects and some of them will be experienced for the first time outside the confines of the well-guarded laboratories and workshops.

One of the first projects to be launched by the fledgling subsidiary company was the prototype for a BMW Z1 Coupé developed in 1988. This vehicle was created within the framework of a concept development based on the very first project of the new subsidiary - the BMW Z1 roadster produced in a limited series. The development engineers were interested in methods and technologies to facilitate a maximally efficient extension of a vehicle concept to additional derivatives. The knowledge gained from this project was used for the BMW Z3 series model, which was produced as a roadster and coupé, and for the first generation of the BMW Z4, which was also manufactured in open-top and closed versions.

A fuel-cell hybrid vehicle based on the BMW 1 Series is another project being presented in the public domain for the first time. This project developed by BMW Forschung und Technik GmbH shows a highly innovative form of hybrid technology developed within the framework of Efficient Dynamics in conjunction with the use of hydrogen as a fuel. Alongside a four-cylinder petrol engine, the research vehicle has an electric power unit for city traffic. The electrical energy is generated by a small fuel cell in the form of an Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) and stored temporarily in high-performance capacitors. These so-called super caps cover the performance peaks for acceleration and taking off at traffic lights, and store the electricity generated during braking. Using a comparatively small fuel cell to generate electricity from hydrogen achieves a high level of efficiency for city traffic, while the internal combustion engine is only used for high-speed journeys. This combination could have the capability to provide an emission-free range of several hundred kilometres in city traffic and facilitate "recharging" within the space of a few minutes - this is in addition to the mobility reserves provided by the internal combustion engine for long-distance travel.

BMW Forschung und Technik GmbH is also celebrating its anniversary by providing a unique insight into innovative projects in the area of intelligent networking between driver, vehicle and environment. BMW ConnectedDrive already delivers a package of driver-assisted systems and mobility services that is unique throughout the world. These systems enhance comfort and safety, as well as optimising infotainment functions in the vehicle. The current research projects in this area include the narrow-passage assistant, which assists drivers if they are driving along particularly narrow lanes, for example near building works, and the emergency stop assistant which brings the vehicle safely to a stop if there is a medical emergency.

The latest success of the joint venture between BMW Forschung und Technik GmbH and Munich Technical University (CAR@TUM) is also presented. The project "IT-Motive 2020" involves the researchers developing an innovative architecture for information and communication technology integrated within the vehicle that permits functions previously distributed over a large number of different control units to be pooled in a homogeneous communication network. The aim is to provide a consistent hardware platform for displaying the continually expanding number of vehicle, comfort and safety functions.

Milestones: from the BMW Z1 to the lightweight sports coupé BMW Z29.

BMW Technik GmbH was launched in 1985 with the mission to develop innovative solutions for a large number of aspects associated with individual mobility. The specialists working in the newly established department were able to get to grips with this mission successfully in the very first project they tackled. They developed the BMW Z1 roadster. This vehicle project was intended to trial innovative materials, launch a revolutionary bodywork concept, and highlight opportunities for optimising development processes.

The result was so impressive that already three years later the first out of a total of 8 000 series vehicles left the Munich BMW Plant. With its plastic body, vertical sliding doors and fascinating handling properties, the BMW Z1 was not simply the first milestone in the history of BMW Technik GmbH - it also made its mark as an exceptional phenomenon on the road.

Revolutionary body and power-unit concepts were to shape development operations during the years to come. In 1993, the BMW Z13 was presented, a compact vehicle with a sporty design powered by a rear-mounted engine and three seats in an unconventional configuration. The driver was positioned behind the centrally located steering wheel, with seating space being provided behind the driver for two passengers. The study featured the driving pleasure typical of the brand, a high level of comfort, and outstanding safety attributes.

BMW E1: pioneer for electro-mobility.

The same year already saw BMW Technik GmbH presenting the BMW Z15. This first fully functional concept vehicle with pure electric drive was a development of the BMW Z11 electric vehicle presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1991. As a prototype with the model designation BMW E1, the four-seater incorporated a design with pioneering aerodynamic and
ergonomic features that provided impressive testimony to the superlative potential of its emission-free drive technology even in normal everyday use. The BMW E1 provided a range of up to 200 kilometres and a top speed of 120 km/h. The prototype generated universal acclaim among members of the public and independent testers. The readers' choice in car magazine "Auto Zeitung" voted the BMW E1 as the winner in the category "Environment and Technology", and trade magazine "Auto Bild" described the BMW E1 as "the most advanced car of the century".

At the time, it was already evident that BMW was in a position to achieve typical BMW driving characteristics and operational capability geared to city driving with a purely electrical power unit. Series development would also be achievable if a battery technology with optimised power and cost could be developed. Today, BMW is continuing to build on this knowledge base in the context of project i: it provided the impetus for the development of a Mega City vehicle designed for emission-free mobility within large urban environments. An innovative vehicle concept and the most recent developments in the area of power unit and energy storage technology form the basis for a state-of-the-art presentation of electrical mobility.

New routes to maximum driving fun: BMW Z18 and BMW Just 4/2.

The development of the prototypes launched in 1995 also saw the specialists at BMW Technik GmbH searching for new and sophisticated approaches to driving pleasure. One of their ideas focused on designing an automobile counterpart to the Enduro motorcycle concept that was so successful during the 1990s. The yearning to explore off-road terrain and the pleasure of mobility under the open skies was combined for the first time on four wheels in the BMW Z18. An eight-cylinder engine, four-wheel drive, a variable interior concept and elevated seating characterise the innovative driving experience in the robust roadster.

The BMW Z18 had to wait five years after it was created for its public debut - the occasion was the celebration of 15 years of existence for the think tank. Another prototype that offered the prospect of driving fun while having previously been confined to motorcycles captivated the driving public at the Tokyo Motor Show in Japan as early as 1995. Freestanding wheels, a body that abandoned roof and windscreen, and a rear-mounted four-cylinder engine packing 100 hp were the hallmarks of the study where the two-seater concept was already integrated in the model designation - BMW Just 4/2.

Festival of innovations: The BMW Z22.

The BMW Z22 was among the most sophisticated technology platforms that BMW Technik GmbH ever created. The study was presented in 1999, and it bristled with no less than 70 innovations and 61 registered inventions in areas ranging across body concept, lightweight construction, power unit, safety, mechanical systems and controls. The use of carbon-fibre reinforced plastic in an innovative processing procedure permitted compliance with the highest crash safety standards while at the same time significantly reducing weight. Power steering, an electromechanical braking system, cameras instead of wing and rear mirrors, and a cockpit design reduced to the bare essentials defined the mould-breaking, future-proof character of the BMW Z22. Adaptive headlights, Head-up Display and central control unit enabled the prototype to offer innovative functions that were soon implemented further down the line in BMW series vehicles.

Consistent lightweight construction for uncompromising driving pleasure: The BMW Z29.

Optimization of the vehicle weight by deploying the most advanced high-tech materials was the focus of development for the BMW Z29 concept study. The prototype of a two-seater sports car was completed by BMW Technik GmbH in 2001 and represents the culmination of cooperation with another subsidiary of the BMW Group - BMW M GmbH. The vehicle exerts
fascinating appeal with flowing lines and lambo-style doors. The principles underlying the outstanding potential of the BMW Z29 for dynamic driving can be found under the engine bonnet and below the surface of the paintwork. The power was generated by the in-line six-cylinder engine of the BMW M3 - at that time a technological benchmark - and the passenger cell was manufactured from carbon-fibre reinforced plastic while the rear axle, and front and rear module were designed in aluminium. The most important results of this combination: a weight-to-power ratio of 3.4 kg/hp and an acceleration ratio of 4.4 seconds for the sprint from a standing start to 100 km/h.

Research as foundation for Efficient Dynamics.

The Efficient Dynamics development strategy provides the BMW Group with the world's most efficient programme for reducing consumption and emission values in road traffic. The development of power systems with optimised efficiency, smart energy management in the vehicle, and aerodynamic measures form the key supporting aspects of this strategy, complementing lightweight construction throughout. BMW Group Research and Technology has made significant progress in all these areas since the company was established and the results have been channelled into the series development of many different new models.

Intensive fundamental research has also been carried out in the context of the development of innovative and alternative propulsion systems. The spectrum of research ranges from new concepts for the classic internal combustion engine, through hybrid technology and the deployment of hydrogen as a fuel in the vehicle, to electro-mobility. This demonstrates that research covers all the areas that today form the mainstays of the Efficient Dynamics development strategy.

Hybrid concepts: more efficiency, more driving pleasure - right from the start.

The BMW ActiveHybrid 7 and the BMW ActiveHybrid X6 are the first two models of the brand available in 2010 to use a combination of internal combustion engine and electric motor. Each model deploys a unique platform of BMW ActiveHybrid technology while also presenting a characteristic homogeneity: BMW ActiveHybrid presents tangibly enhanced dynamic
driving accompanied by significantly reduced consumption and emission values. This twin-track advance is manifested in the BMW EfficientDynamics development strategy, and from the start it shaped the ground-breaking work carried out by BMW Forschung und Technik GmbH in hybrid technology. Hybrid technology in the style of BMW advances efficiency and intensifies driving pleasure.

The hybrid concept car based on the BMW 5 Series and developed in 1994 already facilitated fully electric and hence emission-free driving with characteristic features optimised for city traffic. The car's power-unit technology configured as a parallel hybrid drive combined a four-cylinder petrol engine with an electric drive which generated a maximum output of 26 kW. The energy stored in a nickel-metal hydride battery was sufficient to power the car over a range of eleven kilometres in purely electric drive mode. Today, hybrid technology in the BMW 5 Series is more relevant to the modern world than ever before. It is well on the way to series maturity, as demonstrated at the Geneva Motor Show in 2010 when the BMW Concept 5 Series ActiveHybrid was featured and bore impressive testimony to the technology.

Within the space of just one year, the researchers had developed another hybrid concept vehicle and significantly extended the range of the vehicle solely under electric power. The BMW 3 Series with serial hybrid technology was primarily intended for city traffic and was able to travel a distance of 38 kilometres with the internal combustion engine switched off. Two electricmotors supplemented the four-cylinder petrol engine. One of them provided the propulsion while the other served as a generator within the system.

Researchers presented a hybrid vehicle based on the first generation of the BMW X5 in 2001, and this demonstrated the progress that had been made in the area of drive and energy-storage technology. The study combined an eight-cylinder petrol engine and an electric motor to generate a maximum combined torque of 1000 newton metres. The high-power capacitors known as supercaps were the most important innovation in the first vehicle to be named after the Efficient Dynamics strategy. They were deployed as energy storage devices with particularly high power density. The BMW Concept X3 EfficientDynamics consistently progressed development of supercaps integrated in the side sills. The technology was presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2005. The specialists at BMW Forschung und Technik GmbH were also able to present new solutions for integrating the internal combustion engine and electric motor. BMW Concept X3 EfficientDynamics integrated the electric motor including performance electronics in a compact active transmission.

Option for the future, already operating today thanks to intensive research: hydrogen as a fuel.

Over the long term, the BMW Group is also committed to using hydrogen as an alternative fuel in vehicles. The use of hydrogen produced with assistance from renewable energy sources offers the option of emission-free mobility for the future. The capability of this power-unit technology for everyday use has already been demonstrated with the BMW Hydrogen 7. This car passed through the complete series development process before being manufactured as a limited series. The world's first hydrogen-powered luxury saloon for use under everyday conditions is powered by a bivalent twelve-cylinder internal combustion engine and has been made available to selected customers worldwide. They have meanwhile travelled a total of more than four million kilometres driving the BMW Hydrogen 7.

On the way to the BMW Hydrogen 7, BMW Group Research and Technology set up a large number of research projects and concept vehicles, leading to a much better understanding of hydrogen technology and the framework conditions for use in the automobile. A precursor to the BMW Hydrogen 7 was presented in 2000 as the BMW 750hL and used as a shuttle vehicle atthe Expo World Exhibition. The following years saw the BMW 750 hL driving more than 170 000 kilometres in a practical test during the "Clean Energy World Tour". Other pioneering achievements were provided by the BMW H2R hydrogen record vehicle. In September 2004, the model powered by a twelve-cylinder engine set up nine international records for hydrogen-powered vehicles with a piston engine at the BMW test track in Miramas, France. The car achieved a top speed of more than 300 km/h.

Research is currently focusing on the challenges that still have to be mastered for the application of hydrogen. Milestones are the development of a hydrogen-four-cylinder cryogenic test engine and modular hydrogen single-cylinder research engines with combustion chamber geometries similar to petrol and diesel engines that achieved outstanding levels of performanceand efficiency for hydrogen engines. The other innovations developed by BMW Forschung und Technik GmbH in the area of hydrogen technologyinclude a variable shape tank with optimised weight made of carbon-fibre reinforced plastic for storing hydrogen in the vehicle and a reformer system for generating synthesis gas as a concept for effective emission reduction inthe cold-start and catalytic-converter heating phase.

Another field of research involves tracking fuel cell technology with consistent focus on application for generating electricity to power the vehicle's on-board supply. Use of the fuel cell as an Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) has been undergoing development since 1997 at BMW. Consistent further development over the subsequent four generations of technology has resulted in a continuous increase in efficiency and permanently optimised compatibility with everyday use. These advances are being demonstrated with the fuel-cell hybrid vehicle on the occasion of the anniversary.

Connected Drive: networking as the key to more comfort, security and driving pleasure.

The development of electronic systems facilitates smart networking between driver, vehicle and environment, and BMW Forschung und Technik GmbH has played a major role in enhancing comfort, safety and driving pleasure. Many of today's series vehicles feature driver assistance systems, mobility services, and systems for integrating external communication andentertainment modules that are based on innovations developed by BMW Forschung und Technik GmbH.

Motivated by the objective of opening up new perspectives for networking with the outside world and creating the foundations for the necessary technology, the specialists at BMW Group Forschung und Technik GmbH are working on assistance systems that extend way beyond the scope of the assistance systems integrated in current series vehicles.

Advanced assistance systems created by the research department of BMW Forschung und Technik GmbH include the TrackTrainer, which is supported by a melding of highly specific data from digital mapping, GPS and video and allows racing tracks - even the North Loop of the Nürburgring - to be negotiated autonomous in an ideal line. This system is used for training purposes during BMW Driver Training.

The emergency stop assistant developed in the context of the research project "Smart-Senior - Intelligent Services for Senior Citizens" uses the capabilities developed for the TrackTrainer to enhance traffic safety. The system is able to change to autonomous drive mode if an emergency situation caused by a health problem with the driver is identified, in order to carry out a safe emergency braking manoeuvre. Apart from reliable localisation of the vehicle within the lane, precise execution of the manoeuvre primarily involves robust identification of all the vehicles in the immediate environment.

Another research project in the area of automatic driving is the garage parker debuted in 2006. This system permits independent manoeuvring of the vehicle. All drive, braking and steering functions are controlled automatically to enable the vehicle to be steered in and out of a garage where space is restricted using remote control by the driver. If required, the system also activates the warning indicators and the headlamps, as well as swinging the wing mirrors in and out. The sensors for stopping the car automatically are naturally also activated if an obstacle is encountered.

More safety and efficiency through targeted communication.

A key area of development for our research subsidiary is interchange of information between vehicles and the traffic infrastructure, known as Car-to-X Communication (Car2X). One example is transmission of information about sequence times from traffic light systems. This means that a driver assistance system can either get information about the optimum speed so that cars can hit an individual green sequence of traffic lights and travel without stopping, or issue a warning about the possibility of going through a red light. Strategic transfer of data about the traffic situation, conditions on the carriageway and other factors allow early warnings to be broadcast from one vehicle to other drivers in the immediate environment about accidents, traffic jams or the formation of black ice. It is also possible to calculate the risk of collision based on the transmitted vehicle data so that warnings can be given in advance of potential crashes at junctions. As a manufacturer of cars and motorcycles, the BMW Group is in the unique position of being able to integrate both types of vehicle in the communication scenarios.

BMW Forschung und Technik GmbH also carries out ground-breaking work in the development of revolutionary operating concepts and control systems. One example of this is the concept of an entirely innovative cockpit design presented in a second-generation BMW 3 Series compact, with the Drive Stick as the focal point. Instead of steering wheel, accelerator and brake pedal, the concept vehicle has two control levers projecting vertically from the door panel and the centre console. These allow the driving direction, acceleration and deceleration to be controlled using drive-by-wire technology. The Drive Stick Car project provides a particularly vivid example of the abilities of the specialists working at BMW Forschung und Technik GmbH to ask questions about basic assumptions, deploy a high level of creativity in seeking out radically different solutions, and harness the potential of innovative technologies. The knowledge collected in this project played a major role in influencing the evelopment of the electromechanical power steering and active steering marketed for BMW series models. It also provides the typical BMW steering feeling under the conditions of power steering support.

From sailing yacht to car: Optimised Head-Up Display technology.

Their fundamental research and technology development continually encourages the researchers to look at issues that at first glance appear to be way beyond the scope of the automobile. However, over the long term the knowledge gathered in this way is channelled into projects that lead to an increase in comfort, safety and driving pleasure within the context of BMW ConnectedDrive. The team from the Technology Office located at Palo Alto in the US developed a miniature head-up display integrated in the sunglasses of the crew members in the Oracle BMW Racing Team. This system was designed for use in the ocean race for the America's Cup and allows information and commands to be transferred speedily and selectively by projecting it onto the lenses of the sunglasses. This project generated additional know-how that was used for the advanced development of the Head-up Display in the latest series vehicles of BMW.

Identification and integration of new technologies as a recipe for success: BMW ConnectedDrive Services with functionality that is unique worldwide.

Defining principles were also identified by the Technology Office in Palo Alto for integrating external communication and entertainment modules in the vehicle. The first interface for integrating the Apple iPod was developed there and this included the option of using the BMW iDrive System to control the audio function. The pioneering work carried out by BMW Research and Technology has secured BMW a unique position for the integration of external communication and entertainment systems in the vehicle. The systems and services integrated within BMW ConnectedDrive guarantee functionality that remains a world first not matched by any other automobile manufacturer worldwide.

Innovative services for future mobility solutions are already being developed today, including the technology required for these concepts. The BMW Group Technology Office Palo Alto joined forces with other technical departments to develop an iPhone application for the BMW Concept ActiveE vehicle. This application delivers vital information directly to the driver's mobile phone, including data concerning battery charge status and the potential range of the vehicle running on electric power alone.

The prototype of a multifunctional car key was also developed as a means of networking the mobility experience with the driver's lifestyle. The BMW Key is provided with a security chip that allows the driver to make cashless purchases while also enabling other functions such as memorising the e-booking for hotel rooms. The driver's key has integrated credit card functions which offer the possibility of e-booking for bus, train and air travel while in the car and storing the purchased e-tickets on the key. When using hire car or car-sharing systems, the personalised key offers additional potential because it is assigned to the owner of the vehicle rather than to the car itself.

Concept car Porsche 911 Turbo TechArt GTstreet Model 997

Design Interior Cockpit Porsche 911 Turbo TechArt

The cockpit of the TechArt GTstreet also differs distinctly from the stock 911 Turbo. Among the differences is an exclusive leather interior with color-contrasted stitching and sporty CarboBlack highlights. The coupe is further equipped with an ergonomically shaped TechArt sport steering wheel, aluminum foot pedals, foot rest and shifter, as well as with illuminated door sills sporting the TechArt logo.

Porsche 911 Turbo TechArt with based on Design

With its 2001 TechArt GTstreet, based on the Porsche 911 Turbo of the 996 model series, TechArt created one of the fastest and most powerful street-legal sports cars of its time. The next evolutionary stage of this fascinating concept celebrates its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2007. The new TechArt GTstreet, based on the 911 Turbo of the latest 997 series, starts at $320,000. Like the predecessor the new GTstreet edition centers on a powerful engine. The 3.6-liter twin-turbo flat engine is modified by the TechArt engine specialists and now develops 630 bhp at 6,800 rpm, up from standard 480 bhp. Peak torque increases to 605 lb-ft at 4,500 rpm.

The TechArt GTstreet rear fascia with integrated carbon-fiber diffuser contributes to the strong downforce generated on the rear axle. It also provides the perfect backdrop for the quad exhaust of the TechArt high-performance exhaust system. TechArt Automobildesign offers a number of versions of its popular Formula wheel in sizes 8.5Jx20 in front and 12Jx20 on the rear axle. GTstreet buyers can choose from several color combinations and between the one-piece Formula and the multi-piece Formula II designs. The Formula II wheel features an exchangeable wheel lip. For optimal tires TechArt chose ContiSportContact 3 high-performance tires in sizes 245/30 ZR20 and 325/25 ZR20. The large 20-inch wheels also provide the necessary space for the especially powerful and durable TechArt high-performance brake system. It features six-piston aluminum fixed calipers and 390-millimeter discs on the front axle. The rear axle is fitted with 365-millimeter discs and four-piston fixed calipers. The TechArt GTstreet comes with a TechArt VarioPlus coil-over suspension that is based on the electronically adjustable PASM damping system of the 911 Turbo. This chassis allows individual ride-height lowering by up to 25 millimeters and push-button selection of two different damper settings, “Normal” or “Sport.” However, the dampers are not limited to these presets. Sporty driving automatically results in firmer damper settings in both modes, thus combining excellent ride comfort during normal driving with agile and responsive handling during fast cornering.

The body kit for the TechArt GTstreet was created in the wind tunnel, and offers an optimal symbiosis of aerodynamic down force, minimized drag and striking design. The front fascia of the GTstreet with retractable carbon-fiber splitter produces down force on the front axle and provides radiator, oil coolers and brakes with more cooling air, thanks to its large, striking air inlets. The auxiliary headlamp units with daytime running lights and fog lamps improve active safety. They also give the car even more passing clout. The TechArt GTstreet fender flares on the front axle add 10 mm to the two-door’s width and give it an even more dynamic appearance. But that’s not all: The air outlets behind the front wheel houses optimize brake venting. The larger air ducts in the rear sidewalls provide engine and inter coolers with a larger supply of cooling air. For an optimal transition between front and rear fenders the TechArt designers have developed rocker panels that complement the new contours. TechArt mirror and headlamp moldings provide the finishing touches. The TechArt roof spoiler extends the roof line and optimizes airflow to the adjustable rear airfoil of the GTstreet.

FORD LAUNCHES UNPRECEDENTED NINE NEW ENGINES, SIX NEW TRANSMISSIONS IN NORTH AMERICA IN 2010

• Ford will introduce nine new or upgraded engines and six new transmissions in North America this year as part of a five-year effort to overhaul its entire global powertrain portfolio, which totals 60 new powertrains

• Ford's all-new normally aspirated 2.0-liter direct injection engine will power the 2012 Focus in North America

• Ford will bring state-of-the-art fuel-saving technology, including twin independent variable cam timing (Ti-VCT), direct injection, six-speed and dual clutch transmissions to its smallest and most affordable cars

• Ford improved fleet-wide fuel economy and reduced CO2 emissions more than any other automaker in the last five years

DETROIT, Jan. 8, 2010 - Ford Motor Company will introduce nine new or upgraded engines and six new transmissions in North America in 2010 as part of a five-year effort to overhaul its entire global powertrain portfolio.



The push began in 2008 and continues through 2013 and includes 60 new or significantly upgraded engines, transmissions and transaxles globally over the five year period.



One of the advanced and fuel-efficient North American powertrains is the 2012 Ford Focus' all-new normally aspirated 2.0-liter direct fuel injection engine, the first of its kind in a Ford vehicle in North America.



"Ford is delivering on our commitment to lower emissions, improve fuel economy and deliver the highest quality powertrains in the industry," said Barb Samardzich, Ford vice president, Powertrain Engineering. "We are making this happen with one of the most ambitious powertrain upgrades ever undertaken by Ford. By the end of 2010, nearly all of Ford's North American engines will have been upgraded or replaced since 2008."



North American launches



In 2010, Ford will launch new engines and transmissions in Fiesta, Mustang, Super Duty and F-150. These new powertrains are expected to propel each vehicle to best-in-segment in fuel economy.



Fiesta's Ti-VCT 1.6-liter engine and PowerShift dual clutch transmission will deliver an estimated 40 mpg on the highway, topping both Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris.



Mustang's new Ti-VCT 305-horsepower, 3.7-liter V-6 delivers the class-leading performance and fuel economy Mustang buyers expect. The 2011 Mustang V-6 with six-speed automatic will deliver at least 30 mpg on the highway. No other V-6 powered sports coupe in the world delivers this level of performance and fuel economy, regardless of price.



Mustang GT gets a new 5.0-liter V-8 that cranks out a 412 total horsepower and 390 ft.-lb. of torque yet delivers at least 25 mpg on the highway - better than any competitor.



Both versions of the Mustang get all new fuel-saving manual and automatic six-speed transmissions.



Spring also marks the arrival of an all-new Ford-designed-and-built Super Duty diesel truck engine. The 6.7-liter Power Stroke® V-8 turbocharged diesel powerhouse is expected to lead the class in fuel economy towing, hauling, horsepower and torque.



With its advanced emissions systems, the new 6.7-liter diesel engine also will run cleaner than the outgoing model. The 2011 Super Duty also gets a new 6.2-liter gasoline engine.



Even as they concentrate on improving powertrain performance, Ford engineers continue to reduce engine and transmission weight. For example, the new Super Duty diesel and transmission together are185 pounds lighter than the outgoing powertrain.



With its novel features such as a "live drive" Power Take Off (PTO) and rugged TorqShift six-speed automatic transmission, Super Duty will remain the most capable workhorse in the segment.



Ford: Driving powertrain innovations into the market



Other new Ford powertrains coming in 2010 include an EcoBoost 3.5-liter V-6 for the F-150. The EcoBoost 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged engine delivers the thrust and performance feel of a V-8, with the fuel efficiency of a V-6. Current EcoBoost-equipped models are delivering up to a 20 percent improvement in fuel economy and a 15 percent reduction in CO2 emissions versus larger-displacement engines.



By 2013, Ford plans to offer EcoBoost engines on 90 percent of its product lineup with annual volume of vehicles with EcoBoost at 1.3 million globally.



Toward the end of the year, a new 2.0-liter Ti-VCT four-cylinder for the next-generation Focus will mark the first introduction of a normally aspirated direct injection engine to the powertrain lineup. The all new engine will launch on the 2012 Focus in North America.



Ford: America's fuel economy leader



No automaker has posted a larger fleet-wide gain in fuel economy in the past five years.



According to the Environmental Protection Agency, Ford's combined car and truck fuel economy has improved nearly 20 percent since 2004 - almost double the next closest competitor.



Additionally, Ford's tailpipe CO2 emissions are declining. Ford's 2009 fleet-wide average is down approximately 9 percent from 2008.



"We are focused on sustainable technology solutions that can be used not for hundreds or thousands of cars, but for millions of cars, because that's how Ford will truly make a difference," said Samardzich.



Scheduled for 2010 are:

Source: Ford Kamis, 07 Januari 2010 Kia and Microsoft's Uvo... [Video] Tucked in between Google's hot new smartphone and a variety of other computer peripheral equipment at this year's CES show is a crossover. Not the jacked-up, tricked-out, neon-dragging customized type that we typically see around the Consumer Electronics Show, but a bone-stock, 2011 Kia Sorento. Well, stock except for one option: UVO. We recently got a chance to try out the newly-announced system in the plastic, and while impressive in its own right, just hours after sitting down with Ford to check out the latest Sync and MyFord Touch, it's somewhat less than stunning. But, ignoring that for now, Kia's offering looks good and still ahead of the rest of the curve. It's functionally comparable to early Sync, enabling easy access to media on 1GB of internal storage, on a USB-connected drive or even on a CD. You can rip from CD straight to internal memory or to a thumb drive, an interesting feature we're not sure is particularly useful. The touchscreen display is a nice improvement over Ford's two-line Sync readout, but remember that if you get this system, you'll have to opt out of in-dash GPS. Good thing you splurged and got that Droid, right? More Photos Minggu, 08 November 2009 All about the Audi Pikes Peak TTS The Audi Pikes Peak TTS is nicknamed "Shelley" by the Stanford DDL after Michele Mouton, arguably the most successful female rally driver to date who played a significant part in Audi's racing history. Goal To collaborate with Stanford to build an autonomous vehicle capable of completing the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in a reasonable time using rally driving techniques. Team: Volkswagen Electronics Research Lab Convert a vehicle to drive by wire, develop a safety architecture to ensure a reliable autonomous drive with no safety driver, and implement Stanford's control algorithms on a system jointly developed with Sun Microsystems. Stanford Dynamics Design Lab Develop robust control algorithms that enable the vehicle to drive at the limits of handling on a variety of surfaces, and lets it complete the Pikes Peak course. Sun Microsystems Specify a hardware platform that can run Stanford's real time algorithms and develop a framework that enables Real Time Java to the vehicle CAN system.

After I added a second internal hard drive to my system, it quickly began to fill up, to the point where it is now 99% full. But I am only storing about 40% worth of stuff on it! At first, i was worried I had a virus or something, but then I remembered about Vista's Shadow Copy feature, which copies old versions of files so that if you make a change and you want to undo it, you can restore a previous version. I found this article which explains how to dig into the settings for Volume Shadow Copy. It turns out that somehow, Vista decided that the shadow copy settings for my D: should be UNBOUNDED, which means, copy until the drive is full! I was able to use VSSADMIN to fix it, following the directions of the posting. I simplay ran this command as an administrator: vssadmin Resize ShadowStorage /On=D: /For=D: /MaxSize=50GB Note to Microsoft: Volume Shadow Copy should default to a safe value, and not to UNBOUNDED!
