The technology behind bluemotion cars
BlueMotion is the generic trade name given to the latest brand of fuel-efficient automobiles that have been released in the market by the famed carmaker, Volkswagen. The technology used for making BloueMotion automobiles like Passat, Polo and Golf is applied to improve on the standard engine and vehicle technicalities. Aerodynamics, Engine and Transmission are the aspects where Volkswagen has improvised to create its innovative BlueMotion line.
In all the three BlueMotion cars – Passat, Polo and Golf – Volkswagen has reduced the existing suspension, made a thorough redesign of the spoilers and added more enhancements on the underside of each car allowing freer air channeling which in turn cuts down the resistance to air stream and is effectual in better fuel consumption. The innovation of the engine has also made the BlueMotion technology bring about fuel efficiency. Thus by remapping the engine and overhauling the Diesel Particulate Filters, better fuel consumption has been achieved at the same time as the harmful NOx levels are brought down. The transmission of the BlueMotion automobiles also underscores the improved technology in use. On all the three cars – Passat, Polo and golf – the last two gears have a ratio that is longer than the usual Turbocharged Direct Injections.
The rationale of the technology used in BlueMotion also finds its justification in the name used. While the colour ‘Blue’ is the true Volkswagen colour, it also represents the elements of the environment symbolised as water and air whereas ‘Motion’ represents an unwavering forward movement. Thus the technology of BlueMotion has been streamlined to protect the environmental resources of the earth for the future generations. This is emphasised by the fact that automobiles of this line are made to be extremely fuel-efficient so as to conserve fuel for a sustained ecological balance as well as for not letting the environment suffer by polluted emissions.
The highly efficient BlueMotion technology has been successfully used in Volkswagen automobile models making them the ideal cars in an era where technology is often used to by-pass environmental concerns and ethics. Volkswagen’s BlueMotion technology is an exception where its range of automobiles comes with impeccable environmental credentials and the technology used on the vehicles is done intelligently to improvise and revamp the know-how on hand without compromising on the standard of the equipment and its functionality. The result is that BlueMotion cars not only use state-of-the-art technology, but also takes adequate care not to violate the ecology.
