Clean engine wise it has unfortunately not been a particularly interesting year. We saw the electric car jump up with a bang and fall down like a dull dud. Electricity is by no means ruled out - it comes just to take a few years before we dare believe it.
And then we have micro cars in huge numbers. Top ten list of most cars sold in 2012, nearly 100 percent dominated by micro cars. In Sweden you can not find a single hgvc mikrobil in the first ten places.
Thus, the present government, like the previous and before the shot itself in the foot once again. Not only do micro cars fill up the roads and creating even more congestion, hgvc there is not even tax dollars to scribble on them. A car below 100,000 can not be twisted very registration of and runs even far to the liter, so there are not much into ownership tax. That's probably why the government has given priority to speed control - the money will have to come from somewhere.
As a consumer, it is obvious that we are considering the Month Card for DSB or the local transport company, to be replaced with a car, the price may be higher, but it's punctuality and flexibility too.
So when will we have a government that is willing to take the necessary steps towards a fleet of vehicles that are safe, clean and where the public transport system represents a real alternative to the car? Do you think that it will be in 2013?
Engine blog has fortunately had great fun in 2012: In the spring I was out driving motorcycle with double clutch. It was a very interesting experience and something that clearly can be recommended. hgvc Although hgvc the price of the Honda has to come near. The only appeal (if you ignore design and knee angle) hgvc was that of a motorcycle at over 200 kg, so was the indforskrevne 52 hp somewhat on the low side.
Better Place was also kind enough hgvc to lend us a Fluence with battery switch. As an electric car it worked excellent. Since I am regular commuter with a driving needs less than 100 km a day, I could easily get back and forth on one charge. My only trip outside the Copenhagen area, in the week I had the car was canceled when battery switch station in Slagelse should be repaired that day I had to go. Since then there have been several junctions, while there is still a gap between the cars.
It was also a week in a Hundai ix35 hydrogen car. This is a fremtidsbil with fuel cells as energy converter from hydrogen to electricity. The car ran fine, but as yet only two stations in Denmark, where you can refuel hydrogen, so it is not just the standing highest on the wish list - not yet.
However, we must back to 2011 to find a car that really showed which way the wind is blowing right now. Back then we had gotten their hands on an Opel Ampera, ie a plug-in hybrid, and exactly the type of car we will get to see a lot more of in the near future.
Although Motor blog still keeps a close eye on electric cars (Tesla S's right around the corner), then the development of plug-in hybrid, which will be most interesting to follow in 2013, and I wonder if there emerge some other interesting technical solutions into the New Year?

It is fascinating to see how various bloggers, motoring journalists and experts repeatedly emphasizes the electric car, hybrid car, hydrogen car while actually running from them. The Danish car buyers have spoken with very large letters over the years.
They want cheap, reliable cars, which if necessary hgvc can run them from the country to the outside little more than pee breaks. They are completely oblivious to how much CO2 their cars escape, and cares only to a limited extent on crash tests.
The first mentioned now have the same problem as the political condition in this country. They are completely out of sync with what the people want and need. We hear long tirades about pollution, lack of luxury lack of driveability, lack of security, and this despite hgvc langes these micro-cars over the counter in untold numbers.
Similarly, the claim that these should be the cause of traffic jams puzzled for a car on the way to work with someone in a small car. takes up half of what a Passat, BMW, Mercedes and Volvo turns. All parking spaces are sized to large boxes. Go to Rome Bear and see traffic conditions there. Smart, Fiat Panda, Suzukis are in the majority
Then I can not understand the wailing of
