Der Österreicher Gerhard Plattner hat sich als Ziel gesetzt die Strecke von Vicenza bis nach Stockholm mit 100 Euro zurückzulegen. Mehr sollte der völlig serienmäßige Skoda Citigo CNG an Treibstoff nicht benötigen - für einen rund 2.600 Kilometer-Trip quer durch Europa. Klingt erst mal recht schwierig, diese Herausforderung alleine mit dem Normverbrauch von 2,9 Kilogramm Erdgas pro 100 Kilometer zu meistern. Plattners Antrieb war es aber, diesen trotz der Überquerung der Alpen zu unterbieten. Und er hat es tatsächlich geschafft. Im Ziel in Stockholm war noch Gas für weitere rund 300 Kilometer im Tank und ein wenig Geld hatte Gerhard Plattner auch noch übrig... Gerhard Plattner hat diese Rekorde mit einem völlig serienmäßigen Skoda Citigo herausgefahren. Würde man ihm noch einmal 100 Euro geben, würde er mit Sicherheit auf der Rückfahrt versuchen den Verbrauch und CO2-Ausstoß noch einmal zu verbessern...

Volkswagen lädt das Modellspektrum mit einem neuen extrem effizienten Elektrofahrzeug auf: dem neuen e-up!. Das Elektroauto debütiert auf der Internationalen Automobil-Ausstellung (IAA) in Frankfurt und steht bereits ab Oktober bei den VW-Händlern. Der Grundpreis einschließlich Batterie beträgt 26.900 Euro. Die Wolfsburger hoffen, dass ihr erster Stromer vielleicht nicht auf Anhieb, aber doch nach weiteren Verbesserrungen in der Lade-Infrastruktur zum ersten „Volks-Elektroauto“ wird. Mit dem e-up! startet ein Elektrofahrzeug der neuesten Generation, das dank innovativer Detaillösungen besonders sparsam mit der eingesetzten Energie umgeht. So verbraucht der e-up! lediglich 11,7 kWh/100 km. Bei einem durchschnittlichen Strompreis von 25,8 Cent (Deutschland, 2013) kosten 100 Kilometer Fahrt nur noch 3,02 Euro. Die wegweisende Effizienz des e-up! ist auf den für ein Auto dieser Größe sehr guten cw-Wert von 0,308, einen optimierten Rollwiderstand, die generell sparsamen Antriebskomponenten, das hochwirksame Rekuperationssystem und innovative Ausstattungsmodule wie eine besonders sparsam arbeitende Klimaautomatik zurückzuführen.
Rwanda is celebrating and believe me they
have a lot to celebrate after 20 years of peace! Exact numbers killed
are of course difficult to verify but it likely well over a million
people, which for a country as tiny as Rwanda is about 1 in 5. We do
know that at least 500,000 people were killed in a mere 100 days after
the assassination of Juvénal Habyarimana and Cyprien Ntaryamira on
April 6 through mid-July in 1994. It\\\'s also quite
difficult to guess the exact start date of the genocide because the
definition of genocide wasn\\\'t even recognized internationally until
1948. I would personally put the start of their troubles at 1933 when
the then ruling Belgians organized a census and mandated that everyone
be issued an identity card classifying them as either Tutsi, Hutu, or
Twa. This, then started the tensions that led to an eventual
genocide. Many people are familiar with Rwanda both because of it\\\'s
unusual name and the association with the famous fact based movie
