    Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad Automobility in China Dr. Toni Marzotto “The mountains are high and the emperor is far away.” (Chinese Proverb)1 Title: The Rise of China's Auto Industry: Automobility with Chinese Characteristics Curriculum Project: The project is part of an interdisciplinary course taught in the Political Science Department entitled: The Machine that Changed the World: Automobility in an Age of Scarcity. This course looks at the effects of mass motorization in the United States and compares it with other countries. I am teaching the course this fall; my syllabus contains a section on Chinese Innovations and other global issues. This project will be used to expand this section. Grade Level: Undergraduate students in any major. This course is part of Towson University’s new Core Curriculum approved in 2011. My focus in this course is getting students to consider how automobiles foster the development of a built environment that comes to affect all aspects of life whether in the U.S., China or any country with a car culture. How much of our life is influenced by the automobile? We are what we drive! Objectives and Student Outcomes: My objective in teaching this interdisciplinary course is to provide students with an understanding of how the invention of the automobile in the 1890’s has come to dominate the world in which we live. Today an increasing number of individuals, across the globe, depend on the automobile for many activities. Although the United States was the first country to embrace mass motorization (there are more cars per 1000 inhabitants in the United States than in any other country in the world), other countries are catching up.

    Facts Guide 9/18/17, 243 PM 2017 Fit Facts Guide INTRODUCTION The Honda Brand At Honda, dreams have been instrumental to our success from the very beginning. Today, those dreams are reflected in our automobiles. In the 21st century, the power of Honda’s dreams will continue to lead to new insights and new technology. Examples of turning dreams into reality include the zero-emission Clarity Fuel Cell sedan slated for production in 2016, and the Accord Hybrid—which features Honda’s 2-motor hybrid system. These vehicles help ensure Honda’s position as a manufacturer of some of the cleanest automobiles in the world. The imagination of Honda engineers exceeded earthly limits by pioneering a new type of jet aircraft—the HondaJet®, the ultimate in advanced light-jet travel that consumes far less fuel than other conventional jets in its class. And let’s not forget ASIMO®, a Honda robot that walks, talks and sings—and serves as an advanced study in mobility to inspire out-of-the-box thinking. Honda’s innovative spirit is alive and well. It’s evident in a wide variety of products. And as Honda continues to innovate, those products will continue to improve lives—which is what the Power of Dreams is all about. Design Concept Since the first-generation Honda Fit arrived for the 2007 model year, it has built a strong heritage on a solid foundation of smart thinking that has always exceeded expectations. Its loyal owners tend to become enthusiastic promoters of the Honda brand. In fact, http://dfgdev.rpa-dev.com/honda/print-model.aspx?modelname=Fit&mod…ing;safety;walkaround;competition;features;technologies&host=honda Page 1 of 86 Facts Guide 9/18/17, 243 PM research shows that when it comes time to get into a new vehicle, Fit owners are more likely to stay with the Honda brand than owners of any other Honda product.

  • Honda Insight Wikipedia in Its Third Generation, It Became a Four-Door Sedan €”Present
    Honda insight wikipedia In its third generation, it became a four-door sedan —present. It was Honda's first model with Integrated Motor Assist system and the most fuel efficient gasoline-powered car available in the U. The Insight was launched April in the UK as the lowest priced hybrid on the market and became the best selling hybrid for the month. The Insight ranked as the top-selling vehicle in Japan for the month of April , a first for a hybrid model. In the following month, December , Insight became the first hybrid available in North America, followed seven months later by the Toyota Prius. The Insight featured optimized aerodynamics and a lightweight aluminum structure to maximize fuel efficiency and minimize emissions. As of , the first generation Insight still ranks as the most fuel-efficient United States Environmental Protection Agency EPA certified gasoline-fueled vehicle, with a highway rating of 61 miles per US gallon 3. The first-generation Insight was manufactured as a two-seater, launching in a single trim level with a manual transmission and optional air conditioning. In the second year of production two trim levels were available: manual transmission with air conditioning , and continuously variable transmission CVT with air conditioning. The only major change during its life span was the introduction of a trunk-mounted, front-controlled, multiple-disc CD changer. In addition to its hybrid drive system, the Insight was small, light and streamlined — with a drag-coefficient of 0. At the time of production, it was the most aerodynamic production car to be built.

  • 2005 Honda Accord Hybrid Sedan Overview
    2005 Honda Accord Hybrid Sedan Overview Introduction Since the Accord’s launch as a compact hatchback car in 1976, it has earned widespread acclaim as a leader in smart design, superb quality and world-class efficiency. In its 28-year history, the Accord has constantly re-invented itself, going from that original compact hatchback to today’s premium intermediate sedan and coupe. The seventh-generation Accord V-6, released in 2003, once again raised the bar for performance, safety and value in the intermediate segment with a highly efficient and powerful 3.0-litre, 240-horsepower, SOHC VTEC V-6 engine, 4-wheel disc brakes and a standard anti-lock braking system (ABS) on all models, along with standard features such as air conditioning, an AM/FM/CD stereo system, power windows and door locks. In 2005, the Accord further establishes its role as a technology, performance and efficiency leader with the introduction of the Accord Hybrid, the world’s first V-6-powered gasoline- electric-hybrid vehicle. Boasting the highest fuel efficiency for a V-6-powered automobile, Accord Hybrid utilizes the third-generation of Honda’s exclusive Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) hybrid system featuring new Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) technology. By combining a high-output V-6 engine and IMA with VCM, the Accord Hybrid Sedan provides even more power – 255 hp versus 240hp in the regular Accord V-6 Sedan – while improving fuel efficiency to an estimated 7.9 L/100km city / 5.9 L/100km highway – better than virtually all 4-cylinder intermediate sedans and similar to that of the Honda Civic Sedan, already a benchmark for fuel efficiency in the compact car class.
