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.

South Africa created the world's largest solar Park

Use of Solar energy is one of the most widely accepted Renewable energy in the world, where increasing emphasis is placed more to the creation of solar parks, covering large areas of land forms and capable of supplying entire cities without any problem with a long-term investment.

In the last hours have been announced intentions to South Africa becoming one of the major powers in the field of solar energy, as it provides for the creation of the World's largest Solar Park, with a plant that according to schedule, will be able to provide up to 5 GW of electricity.

Investment would cost some 18.42 trillions of pounds (about 21 billion euros turnover) and will require the combination of solar technologies latest together to solar panels and mirrors of large dimensions, which are located in the region of North Cape.

With this plant not only seeks to meet up to 10% of the energy requirements of the country, but also significantly reduce the CO2 emissions, since now more than 90% of the electricity is obtained through energy plants that work based on the burning of coal.

Is expected that the initial phase of this project is completed by the end of 2012, where you can get up to 1 GW of power electric.
