From Bosch "Brake Assist System"

Developed by Bosch Brake Assist System, by increasing the brake pressure during emergency braking by reducing the braking distance will increase the safety of pedestrians.

Independent manufacturer of automotive technology brand, developed by Bosch Brake Assist System, in an emergency by creating a split-second within the maximum braking force more quickly to stop the vehicle makes. By the year 2009 from the EU Commission have recommended a standard feature Brake Assist System, in the case of all vehicles and pedestrians each year in 1100 with mortal accidents can be prevented. This technology could become standard equipment in vehicles for the Bosch, the car manufacturers offer various solutions.

Brake Assist System 100 km speed of 7.6 m reduces the stopping distance

According to the results of accident investigation accident nearly half of drivers do not press the brakes strong enough. This reason, the braking distance increases accident is in critical. According to research 100 km per hour. a tool to quickly, Brake Assist System in case of non-vehicle by 7.6 m. Can you stop at a shorter distance.

ESP is contained in the vehicle equipment in a different Brake Assist system not need additional hardware. A rapidly pressed the brakes, the ESP hydraulic pump into the circuit's maximum brake pressure can build. Thus offers more security than 2 times a vehicle ESP activists. ESP drives and integrated support in critical situations Brake Assist System significantly reduces the danger for pedestrians is.

The servo brakes for vehicles ESP'siz Bosch integrated developed a mechanical solution. Brake pedal value goes above a certain speed presses, valves assistant called emergency valve, brake servo operation of the air allowed to enter the room, immediately opened. This circuit ABS braking power until you have entered is suddenly increased. If the driver removes foot from the brake pedal, brake assist attachment is immediately canceled.

Shell Eco-marathon Europe 2008

Shell Eco-marathon first began as a mission from the day it has undertaken. Students from around Europe, a single liter of fuel equivalent unbelievable distance with capable vehicles are designed.

Undoubtedly, energy, 21 constitutes one of the greatest challenges of the century. To meet the increasing demand of humanity on the one hand, on the one hand to ensure the security of energy supply, environment and society while reducing the negative impact is faced with the difficult task.

Reduce CO2 emissions, develop alternative fuels and innovative technologies to demonstrate the sustainable transportation is vital to achieve the goal. Shell Eco-marathon first began as a mission from the day it has undertaken. Europe's coming from all over the students, equivalent to one liter of fuel unbelievable distance with capable vehicles are designed, and thus produce a more sustainable transport and access by anyone to make solutions are contributing to the development.

This year's Shell Eco-marathon, in France, Nogaro Race Track will be held between 22 and May 24.

Category in 2003 for the first time UrbanConcept Shell Eco-marathon'a were included. This category has the tools, since 1985 Shell Eco-experimental prototype vehicles compared to competing marathon'da used today are more like traditional tools. For example, unlike the prototype vehicle of a four-wheel UrbanConcept vehicle, a steering wheel, front and rear lights, a driver's seat, brake pedal and the doors have to be.

Since the beginning of the popularity UrbanConcept category is constantly on the rise, the number is increasing every year his team. Average growth rate of 43 percent of the number of teams This year 58 teams will compete in this category. At a rate of 45 percent compared to last year, this number represents an increase.

The distribution of participants' countries as follows: Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Portugal, Poland, Romania, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Netherlands and Turkey.

To Turkey in the category UrbanConcept designed to represent the school with hidnojen car are as follows: Istanbul Technical University, Sakarya University, Çukurova University and Sakip Sabanci Anatolian High School.

"UrbanConcept category to increase the attractiveness us are very happy," the feelings are expressed Shell Eco-Marathon Europe Technical Director Vincent Tertois, and promise to continue as follows: "This category of the development of our best want to do. UrbanConcept Because only a very large potential for creativity, but does not offer , but also closer to the Prototype category, compared to today's vehicles is the development of alternative fuels and reduce CO2 emissions also contribute to the work. "

UrbanConcept category of participants this year close to half of the alternative fuel use (58 teams from 26), of which half the hydrogen fuel cell is equipped with a (8 teams last year, while this year's number of teams out to 13 cases) even more promising development . This year, other alternative energy sources used in ethanol, bio-fuels (6 sets), solar energy (5 teams) and GTL (Gas to liquid fuel conversion) (2 sets).

Separate race UrbanConcept

Larger and heavier than Prototip'lere, as they ensure the safety of all participants to compete in a separate vehicle UrbanConcept are organized. Also more realistic in this race track is equipped with urban transportation conditions. For example, stop and attempted three mandatory rules are applied.

Therefore, the participation of their road car prototype vehicles UrbanConcept not long enough. In 2005 the French Lycée Louis Delage team's internal combustion vehicles UrbanConcept a liter of fuel equivalent to 425 kilometers have made full. Team from the Technical University of Denmark, in Fuel Cell category in 2006 with a liter of fuel equivalent to 810 km. has come a distance.

This year's attendees teams even more creative and innovative ideas undoubtedly the future and also break the record of this.

To reduce CO2 emissions and to promote sustainable transport
Shell Eco-marathon is not only consists of fuel economy. Sustainable transport is one of the most important issue to reduce the CO2 emissions target of another of the race. Indeed, this is a special prize has been placed. Prototype required, covering both UrbanConcept category "Climate Friendship Award", the lowest CO2 emissions is causing the developer and the tools given to the team is producing.

Closer to today's vehicles UrbanConcept vehicles as they are less CO2 emissions in this category provide technical innovations developed for commercial vehicles very valuable examples of what can offer.

Eg 2007 Shell Eco-Technical University of Denmark DTU Roadrunners marathon'da team 9g per km CO2 emissions in the category UrbanConcept cause as the previous level of 15 g per km was able to break the record. Prototype category in 2006 broke the record of the French Lycée de la Joliverie team was even more incredible. G CO2 emissions, only 14 team in the 7th round by producing 0.5 g per km, such as level performed a miracle.

These figures mean that we can understand, but make a comparison: Today in Europe, a passenger vehicle, CO2 emissions of 160g per km produces!

CO2 emissions from Shell's Vice President Bill Spence explains their views on this subject: "Shell Eco-marathon students futuristic, experimental tools are not developed any race. Each year, students enhance fuel economy and reducing CO2 emissions even more creative solutions as it sees each time we hear a great admiration. Of the participants in these efforts to implement commercial scale could be tomorrow's sustainable transportation solutions, so in line with the European Union to reduce vehicle emissions contribute to the work.
