Efficiency Energy in Fishing Boats

Once again we bring new developments submitted by Tecnalia News: in this case "Gestoil". This is a system to improve the energy efficiency of ships engaged in commercial fishing , which enable significant fuel savings, through which seeks to add to the efforts to turn the fishing industry in a sustainable economic activity and - its more profitable time.

The project has been developed azti-tecnalia - technological Center specializing in research marine and food - and has been presented before the main members of the fishing industry in the fair Sinaval-Eurofishing 2011. The proposal basically consists of a fuel management system for fishing vessels, with a low cost and a simple design that allows its easy handling. Gestoil will make it possible to monitor permanently the fuel consumption of the vessel from the same bridge. Based on this information the skipper of the boat may make an active and able to optimize the consumption of energy.

According to its developers, Gestoil can provide significant amounts of savings, which vary mainly according to mode of fishing: 25% in fishing to the trawl, 10% in fishing for tuna of live bait, and between 2% - 9% in trawling.

Electrical vehicles | New South Korea electrical buses

Continue to arrive news telling cities worldwide environmental policies that implement the use of alternative fuel vehicles. In this case of Seoul, South Korea, where Government Metropolitan is taking its first steps with the launch of electric buses, the first stage of a plan with a view to 2020.

Plan emerges on the initiative of the Seoul Metropolitan Government, which has mandated replace buses that circulate through the famous Mt. Namsan Park by electric vehicles . Already work 5 units, but he is expected in the short term is to cover the entire fleet of this route, composed of a total of 14 units.

Project search go progressively expanding the amount of transport with alternative fuel, looking to achieve the ambitious number of 120,000 electric vehicles by 2020.

The new electric buses are produced by Hyundai Heavy Industries and Hankuk Fiber. Its features include the following:1105 meters 83 km with a single cargarecarga largoautonomía full battery at 30 km/hmotor 100 of 240 kw maximum minutosvelocidad high capacity litiopiso under regenerative braking system-ion battery

This one of the most salient points is short time battery recharge only 30 minutes, which makes it a very promising vehicle. We hope these electric buses to reach success expected and soon other lines of the city of Seoul can change this ecological transport.
