Reva



NEW DELHI — Chetan Maini, the engineer who pioneered India's first electric car, had his eureka moment two decades ago when he drove a vehicle fuelled by solar power across the blazing Australian outback.
Now Maini, the man behind Reva Electric Car Co., is building in southern India what he says will be the world's biggest factory making battery-powered city commuter cars.
"It's the first attempt at mass production of a green car," said Maini, who studied hybrid electric technology at California's Stanford University and developed the no-clutch, no-gears Reva as head of a 75-member engineering team.
"With growing climate change awareness, I think we're at the tipping point for electric cars," Maini told AFP in an interview.

Honda Jazz


The Honda i-VTEC engine (Intelligent Variable Valve Timing and Electronic Lift Control) in the Honda Jazz is designed to give you just the right mix of power and fuel efficiency. Add to that the Drive by Wire system and you have a combination that responds at the touch of the throttle. With Honda, as always, power meets responsibility. The Jazz is E10 compatible and it also meets Euro IV emission levels to make sure that all it spreads is happiness all around.

The Honda Jazz wields the power it has up its sleeve with flair. The Honda 1.2L i-VTEC engine effortlessly delivers 90 PS with the efficiency of a thoroughbred. The 5-speed manual transmission is agile and sets a balance between sporty driving and fuel efficiency, while a smaller module gear makes it a quiet drive. An iron hand inside whisper soft gloves, that's Jazz.
