At the end of last week, the European Commission proposed a regulation with new rules for reducing emissions from motor vehicles called Euro 7, which for the first time regulate the emissions of particles and microplastics that arise from the use of tires and brakes.

The new Euro 7 norm will replace the previous one, which has separate rules for emissions from cars and light commercial vehicles (Euro 6), and for trucks and buses (Euro VI).

The new Euro 7 standard introduces a single set of rules for limiting emissions for all motor vehicles. The new standard sets the same emission limits for all vehicles regardless of whether the vehicle uses gasoline, diesel, electric propulsion or alternative fuels. The draft regulation includes emissions from exhaust pipes, as well as brakes and tires.

This means that producers, and therefore buyers, will have a higher cost when producing, that is, buying, above all, diesel cars, which will now have to reach a slightly lower level of exhaust gases of gasoline cars.

All new cars on the European Union market will have to have zero CO2 emissions from 2035, but more than 20 percent of cars and vans, as well as more than half of heavy vehicles in 2050, are expected to still emit gases from their tailpipes.

Unlike internal combustion engines, electric vehicles have no exhaust fumes, but they still cause pollution from brakes and microplastics from tires. The new rules set additional limits on particulate emissions from brakes and microplastics from tires, and they will apply to all vehicles, even electric ones.

"We are the first in the world to regulate emissions from tires and brakes," said European Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton. The new rules also set emission limits for previously unregulated pollutants, such as nitrogen oxide emissions from heavy-duty vehicles.

As N1 writes, the European Commission believes that emissions of solid particles, which are caused by the use of brakes, will decrease by 27 percent by 2035. The plan is to reduce the emission of nitrogen oxides by 35 percent for passenger cars and vans compared to Euro 6, and by 56 percent for trucks and buses compared to the Euro VI standard.

"We cannot accept a society where air pollution is the cause of more than 300,000 premature deaths in the EU annually. The new rules will help us breathe safer and help the automotive sector become greener and more resilient," said Margrethe Vestager, Vice President of the European Commission.

The Ferrari car with which Michael Schumacher won the Formula 1 World Championship in 2003 was sold at auction for 13.1 million euros.

The auction house "Sotheby's" in Geneva issued a notice that during the auction, which lasted about forty minutes, the final bid was received by telephone.

Five years ago, another "Ferrari" driven by Schumacher in the 2001 championship was sold for 7.5 million dollars, so the previous record was broken at this auction, according to RTS.

The auction house predicted that the maximum price would be around 9.5 million euros, so this sale exceeded all expectations. It is a "Ferrari" F2003-GA, chassis 229, the vehicle with which Schumacher won his sixth world title and the penultimate of his remarkable career. With this car, the German champion won five victories in nine races, including the Italian Grand Prix in Monza.

Ferrari has been named one of the best companies in Italy for 2022 in terms of working conditions, as well as one of the most valuable Italian brands. The identity of the person who bought the Ferrari is unknown, but well-informed sources assume that it is a well-known European collector.

The 2003 Ferrari F2003-GA was designed by Rory Byrne and Ross Brown. It has an engine of 930 horses and reaches 19,000 revolutions per minute. In that year 2003, Michael Schumacher won six victories – in San Marino, Spain, Austria, Canada, Italy and the United States.

Most recent Doblo gets an all-electric rendition that is exceptionally natural

Decision

The Fiat e-Doblo is a lot of the Italian company's minor departure from a generally existing topic. Nonetheless, since it depends on what's as of now the little electric van class pioneer, that is not something terrible the least bit. Like its kin, the e-Doblo is fundamental as standard, however it's convenient that the high level tech is presented in esteem driven packs that group the very best pieces together. Another deal that could entice purchasers Fiat's way is its 555 proposition, which offers five years of guarantee, overhauling and emergency aides cover in a solitary reasonable bundle.

The van world is inundated with joint endeavors, as organizations attempt to expand benefits by utilizing similar innovation on various models, and the Fiat Doblo is positively a result of that interaction. The last Doblo was created in a joint endeavor with General Engines close by the Vauxhall Combo. Yet, when GM offloaded Vauxhall to public service announcement Peugeot Citroen, that association reached a conclusion. Nonetheless, now that public service announcement and Fiat are two prongs of the Stellantis Gathering, the Doblo by and by shares much with the Combo, as well as the Citroen Berlingo, Peugeot Accomplice and Toyota Proace City. That additionally implies there's currently an all-electric e-Doblo as a feature of the new Doblo line-up.

Confounded? You needn't bother with to be, on the grounds that basically these vans are indistinguishable, save for an alternate front end plan from the main edge of the hood forward, while there are minor varieties concerning trim levels, choices and aftersales back-up.

Remotely, the e-Doblo has a smooth nose and Fiat's most recent corporate marking, however other insightful seems to be indistinguishable from the Citroen e-Berlingo - even the headlights are something similar. That is not something terrible, on the grounds that the one-box shape implies there's bunches of room inside. Fiat offers the e-Doblo in L1, L2 and Team Van body styles, and when you add the through-stacking bulkhead (one more choice that is presented on all the e-Doblo's partners), there really depends on 4.4 cubic meters of room in the L2 variant.

Payload loads of up to 800kg are on offer, while the e-Doblo can tow as much as one ton, as well. That is quite close what's accessible with the standard Doblo, however with the additional advantage of zero-outflows driving.

There's a 50kWh battery mounted under the freight floor (it doesn't affect freight volume), while a 100kW charging framework implies that the battery can be recharged from a high-voltage DC source from 0-80 percent in 30 minutes. This gives the e-Doblo a greatest cited scope of 175 miles, albeit this will differ as per surrounding temperature and payload.

While Fiat cites a power result of 134bhp, this is just presented in Power mode, which is one of three drive settings that are accessible. In the default Ordinary setting, there's 108bhp on draft, however this is a lot for regular driving. As a matter of fact, pick Power mode, and the choke feels excessively anxious to answer, meaning you need to in like manner change your driving style. It likewise thumps around 10 miles of reach off the battery.

At the furthest edge of the range, Eco mode stakes power back, as far as possible your maximum velocity and furthermore slices the cooling to paw back approximately 10 miles of reach. In any case, the van is so dreary in this mode that you wind up putting in to speed up more effort to compensate for the absence of reaction. Eco mode is just truly of purpose in the event that you're getting coming up short on charge and need the additional reach - think about it like a save gas tank on a petroleum motor.

Out and about, the e-Doblo is completely calm and peaceful, and is unquestionably significantly simpler to drive than a regular petroleum or diesel van, because of its single-speed transmission. Absolutely stick it in drive, and away you go. There is a 'B' mode for the transmission that supports energy recovery when you lift off the choke - comparative in solidarity to a manual model easing back in a low stuff - however we'd just suggest utilizing this at metropolitan rates, since it can gain for jerky headway while cruising on double carriageways, for instance.

In all actuality, and like the wide range of various Stellantis little electric vans, the e-Doblo is at its best at low paces in and out of town, where its mobility, sharp speed increase and usability make its mark. Hold the speed down, and you'll probably come near the real reach assessed by the excursion PC.

The e-Doblo is fundamental as standard, yet Fiat offers various packs that upgrade the spec list. Among the highlights on offer are a long-lasting back view camera show instead of a mirror, while the vulnerable side camera could likewise prove to be handy. There's touchscreen route, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and unit, for example, the Solace Drive Help Pack adds path observing, sluggishness alarm and speed limit acknowledgment.

One feature of the e-Doblo is the accessibility of Fiat Expert's 555 bundle. This discretionary reseller's exchange pack adds a five-year guarantee, in addition to overhauling and emergency aides cover for a similar period. It very well may be sufficient to swing purchasers Fiat's far over its kin rivals.

The fifth generation of Toyota's pioneer of hybrid technology.

Toyota has finally confirmed that the mysterious hybrid model, which was recently announced by the company, is indeed the new generation Prius, whose online premiere will be held on November 16.

The new teaser reveals some design details of the model, including aggressive headlights that are somewhat similar to the recently revealed Toyota Crown.

The sharp lines of the LED headlights and the dynamic lines on the hood emphasize the Toyota emblem on the front fascia.

The profile is sleeker than previous generations of Prius, while maintaining a focus on aerodynamics and 5-door body style.

Another detail that we see in the teaser more clearly than before is the emphasis on the rear sides of the "tail" of the vehicle.

Toyota describes the new Prius as "Hybrid Reborn". This model has always been a pioneer in terms of hybrid technology, so we expect Toyota engineers to further improve the efficiency of the powertrain, as well as driving dynamics and safety technology.

Reports from Japan reveal that the model will be based on the new E3 mechanical platform, using components from the proven TNGA-C base and architecture used exclusively for the bZ series battery electric vehicles.

In addition to the "classic" gasoline-electric hybrid, which will most likely be offered from the beginning, there have been rumors of a hydrogen-electric hybrid coming in 2025.

The latter could be the first production model to use Toyota's hydrogen SUS engine although nothing has been confirmed by the manufacturer at this time.

More details about the new Prius will be revealed next week, and we wouldn't be surprised if Toyota continues the teaser campaign through its social media channels over the next few days.

The somewhat little electric SUV is charming and speedy — however not so much for us.

We had trusted that the transition to jolt could contract the world a little by permitting various pieces of the globe to have similar models, particularly EVs in view of existing burning vehicles. However, in spite of the fact that BMW will be selling fuel controlled forms of the new X1 in the US, there are no designs to bring the completely electric iX1 across the Atlantic.

Quite recently BMW appeared to be at the very front of the electric upset. The delightfully awkward carbon-bodied i3 hatchback and the three-chamber PHEV i8 sports vehicle were the two trailblazers. In any case, as of late the organization has changed to a more bashful methodology, one where — beyond the exclusively electric iX — BMW has presented another scope of "I"- marked vehicles that are EV renditions of existing models. Like the iX3, i4, and i7, the new iX1 is one of these, fitting a completely electric powertrain to the third-gen X1, which is simply going discounted in Europe.

The iX1 is being presented in double engine all-wheel-drive structure, conveying xDrive30 marking (BMW hints it will send off a less strong two-wheel-drive variant later). The engines turning every hub are indistinguishable yet for a somewhat lower gear proportion for the single-speed decrease at the back. Joined top result is 308 drive and 364 pound-feet of force. Power comes from a 64.7-kWh battery pack under the floor that gives a scope of 266 miles under Europe's complimenting WLTP testing convention — reasonable under 240 miles under the EPA's more thorough technique. The battery upholds DC quick energizing at to 130 kW, which can take it from 10% to 80 percent in a guaranteed 29 minutes. The water-cooled pack will likewise change its temperature to an ideal 77 degrees Fahrenheit while approaching a quick charger modified into the nav framework.

The iX1's inside feels great got done and stunningly roomy for a vehicle that is a little more than 177 inches long. Standard size grown-ups will actually want to sit front and back without grumbling, and there is a spacious 24 cubic feet of freight space — ethics that will stay for the U.S.- bound, gas controlled X1 xDrive28i, which really gets somewhat more freight room at 25.7 cubic feet.

The iX1 gets a 10.3-inch computerized instrument show as standard, in addition to a 10.7-inch bended touchscreen, both running the new BMW 8 working framework. This looks decent and works snappily, yet it implies the downfall of both actual warming controls and the helpful column of adaptable capability keys BMW recently advertised. Swiping down on the highest point of the screen raises a delivered form of the capability keys however expects eyes to be removed the street. Essentially, albeit a My Modes button on the mid control area has endure the winnow of regular switchgear, squeezing it simply raises choices on the screen, with one more info then expected to choose one.

This EV's presentation is punchy and conveyed with insignificant show. The iX1's gas pedal is a little top-stacked in its reactions, particularly in Game mode, where the forceful planning makes it hard to accomplish a smooth departure. BMW claims a 5.7-second zero-to-62-mph time. Full push is saved for Lift mode, which is enacted for 10 seconds by hauling an oar behind the controlling wheel, however we didn't see a detectable contrast versus simply trampling the gas pedal. There is likewise a one-pedal mode, got to by pulling the thickset stuff selector to "B."

The iX1 additionally accompanies a switchable soundtrack, with the supposed IconicSounds Electric choice making a cutting edge and enigmatically motor like murmur in the lodge that changes as per gas pedal position. This felt less imagined than some adversary contributions, however we actually favored the quietness with it switched off.

That is on the grounds that refinement is great. The lodge is very much protected at both metropolitan and parkway speeds, and in spite of a thick 4600-pound weight — in excess of 800 pounds heavier than the X1 xDrive28i — ride quality stayed great considerably over the knock tossed English byways where we drove the vehicle. The iX1 rides on latent dampers, at the same time, similar to those in the G20-age 3-series, they can powerfully shift exertion under enormous suspension travel.

What's missing, tragically, as in a few other late BMWs, is the feeling of dynamic association that previously came as standard with any of the organization's items. The iX1's guiding is totally without any trace of low-speed input, and its front-one-sided taking care of equilibrium is effectively fueled into understeer. The resigned i3 was more modest and more slow but at the same time was more keen and better to drive.

The needs of driving devotees don't appear to be extremely high on the rundown of iX1 ascribes. The fact of the matter is made by three new switchable modes that have joined the recognizable Individual, Game and Proficient settings: Expressive, Unwind, and Computerized Craftsmanship. Choosing Expressive changes the dashboard show and triggers the driver's seat rub capability; changing to another mode didn't switch the working off, which must be finished through a visit through different menus. Unwind began to play an encompassing soundtrack. Also, Advanced Craftsmanship gave another update to both showcase screens. In all honesty, all felt like contrivances.

In any case, would it be advisable for us to feel wronged to be denied the iX1? Without a doubt, given its blend of areas of strength for moderately, charming plan, and serious estimating — in Europe in any event. In Germany, the pre-charge value means simply more than $45,000, meaning it costs the very same as the section level Kia EV6 and undermines the Mercedes EQA350 4Matic. Better news for us is that the remainder of this X1 is essentially updated over the active model, which looks good for the gas variant that will come here.

Many people have had their cars parked on the street or in the garage for a long time, but hardly anyone has wondered what happens to the fuel. Gasoline and diesel have a shelf life, and aging in a car tank cannot be compared to quality wines, which get better if stored properly.

Gasoline and diesel cannot sit in the tanks for too long, or they can, but in that case they will lose their properties and when you start the car after a few months of standing, there could be problems.

You should use up the gas in the tank after two to three months. Otherwise, it will become a liquid that could damage your engine. Diesel in the tank can last just as short. In biodiesel, with which diesel fuel is mixed, there are bacteria, which will start to work when standing and because of this, sludge deposits will be formed.

Corrosion of the tank or clogging of the fuel supply system is also possible. The diesel in the reservoir should be used up in approximately three months, and at the latest in six months. All these are of course recommendations, because no one knows exactly how much fuel is in the tank, what the temperatures are and how much oxygen is in the tank.

Spent fuel in the tank is not difficult to identify, especially if it gets into your vehicle's engine. The check engine light will come on, which of course can be on for a myriad of other reasons. In this case, it is best to take your vehicle to a service center where they will find the cause of the problem.

As the HAK Review writes, the most common symptoms of using outdated fuel are problems with starting, ignition, rough idling, or loss of power when accelerating. Spoiled fuel must be removed from the tank.

Joint-stock company Kama published an official press release announcing the future electric car, and at the same time a teaser was shown.

It was announced that the compact car was named Atom, writes Autoblog.

"Atom - that's what we named our electric car. Atom includes the creation of a digital environment for new mobility and the electric vehicle itself," commented Igor Povarazdnjuk, CEO of AD Kama.

It was announced that the "international engineering and technical team" of the project includes more than 250 automotive designers and IT developers who have "experience in the implementation of the largest projects in the fields of electric transport, mobility and ecosystems in Russia, China, Europe and the USA".

The announcement does not mention this directly, but it is possible that production will be organized in the former Ford factory. Apparently, Atom electric cars are planned to be used by, among others, car sharing, delivery companies and taxi companies.

Functional prototypes should be presented in the 3rd quarter of next year.
