The new Canter Eco Hybrid, along with another Mitsubishi Fuso hybrid vehicle, already on the market, strengthen the role of technological leadership in this segment MFTBC. Mitsubishi Fuso Aero launched in 2004 Nonstep HEV, a city bus with capacity for 68 passengers and powered with hybrid technology. This bus is currently in service in Shizuoka, Aichi and Gifu in Japan.
The environmental benefits of the new vehicle are only tested on the basis of the great reduction of pollutant emissions, confirming a decrease in nitrogen oxide of 41% and 46% reduction in particulate emissions compared to vehicles with conventional engines. This is a big step forward for environmentally-friendly vehicles, and whether you’re a mechanic or a writer for RAC.co.uk it’s likely you’ll be excited about the news that they’re getting steadily more efficient.
A decisive test of the ecological benefits of the new Canter Eco Hybrid is the fact meet the tough emissions standards for pollutants in the long run that will take effect in Japan in August 2007. The new Canter Eco Hybrid meets those standards, the toughest in the world, a year before his application and before any other vehicle.
Based on the information documented by MFTBC and submitted for verification to the Japanese authorities responsible for compliance with the emission standards, the Canter Eco Hybrid can be termed as “the cleanest light truck in the world.”
The main reason that the Canter Eco Hybrid is so cheap is determined by the high efficiency in fuel consumption. The plant hybrid diesel-electric motor installed in the vehicle managed to increase the efficiency of fuel consumption by 20% compared with traditional engine models. Fuel economy is particularly significant in times of stopping and starting, which occur in everyday driving situations.
Another quality of this vehicle is easy refueling, as it requires no special infrastructure and other hybrid vehicles (eg in the case of compressed natural gas). The Canter Eco Hybrid diesel and may only need to be refueled at any gas station that has this fuel.
The Canter Eco Hybrid achieves this economy, ecology, and easy to use thanks to the latest in design and components. The heart of the system is a newly developed diesel engine. This is a 3-liter dual overhead cam 16-valve intercooled turbo diesel letting out 92 kW at 3,200 rpm and maximum torque of 294Nm at 1,700 rpm. This modern power plant incorporates the latest technologies such as particle filter and a gas recirculation (EGR, Exhaust Gas Recirculation) to reduce the emission of nitrogen oxides.
The central components of the Canter Eco Hybrid system Hybrid is the new diesel engine in conjunction with an ultra thin 35 Kw electrical generator, batteries, lithium-ion high-performance and advanced automated manual transmission Inomata-II.
The Canter Eco Hybrid is characterized by its parallel hybrid system. This means that the vehicle can be powered by electric motor, the diesel engine or both at once. The maximum efficiency of both fuel consumption and in emissions is achieved simply by using either one or both engines, depending on driving conditions.
* The regeneration of the energy created during braking is improved to be off the clutch during deceleration.
* The lithium-ion batteries do not require periodic replacement.
* The versatile Inomata-II automatic transmission can also be manually actuated at will by the driver.
* An idle system Stop & Start (ISS) for the engine automatically when the transmission is changed to N (neutral or neutral), saving fuel and reducing emissions. The ISS system can be connected or disconnected as desired.
* A system called EZGO works as an assist to exit ramps, for which holds the brake connected even slightly after stopped working the brake pedal.
* The Canter Eco Hybrid offers the same load capacity than the same conventional model of Canter and the same possibilities of bodywork.
The Canter Eco Hybrid was developed by a functional team using the Fuso Product Development System (FPD). Based on high quality standards, FPD is a method to manage the whole development process of a vehicle from initial concept to release. The product must pass through a series of “gates” or strict quality assurance phases where they are evaluated by MFDs. Only when the product meets all quality requirements can advance to the next stage of development. This advanced and sophisticated system ensures that products can be launched on time with the maximum guarantees of quality.
According to the President of MFTBC Egashira, the launch of the Canter Eco Hybrid is a development of Mitsubishi Fuso which shows the great progress that the company is experiencing: “At Mitsubishi Fuso is committed to caring for the environment in everything we do. This new vehicle MFTBC shows the concern of the society and as we strive to be number one for our customers and the best company for our shareholders. ”
