MarGroves Electronics By Nick Groves and Justin Margas
The Products • Our company produces and transports many electronics including TV’s, game systems, cell phones, etc. • We have two ways of transporting these products – one way is fuel efficient car that uses fossil fuels and the other runs on alternative fuels. • Alternative fuels – Modec Electric Van • Fossil Fuels – Honda Fit
Modec Electric Van • The Modec is powered by pure electricity and nothing else. • The Modec has a 100 miles range and a top speed of 50 mph on one charge and has a carrying capacity of two tons. • It is powered by twin 288-volt sodium-nickel-chloride batteries which are partially replenished by the van’s regenerative breaking system. • The Modec starts at $41,100 and comes in several different looks. • It is 98% recyclable. • The Modec has a very low maintenance because the engine only has three moving parts. • It has zero emissions, zero noise, zero congestion charges, zero road tax and zero operator license requirements.
Honda Fit • This car would be used to transport the smaller types of electronics. • The Honda Fit has a super efficient engine that produces low emissions -117-hp, 16-valve i-VTEC®, 4-cylinder engine • It was on the top ten list of most fuel efficient cars in 2009. • The cost of the Honda Fit starts at $14,900. • The Honda Fit gets 28 mpg city/35mpg highway.
Company Car # 1 Lightning GT • The Lightning GT has a 36 kWh Altairnano NanoSafe lithium-titanate battery pack which will take about 10 minutes to recharge and have up to 188 miles of driving with one single charge. • It has full regenerative braking which means that the battery receives charge every time you decelerate. • It gets from 0-60 mph in less than 4 seconds. The top speed is limited to 130 mph. • It is about 10x cheaper than a regular gas powered car. • The Lightning GT cost $120,000 but you could easily make that money back over the years
Company Car # 2 Velozzi Hybrid • The Velozzi Hybrid is a plug in hybrid. • It has a super efficient engine that is designed to run on mostly any fuel - such as diesel, gasoline, biodiesel, or ethanol. • The car goes 0-60 in 3 seconds and has a top speed of 200 mph. • It is powered by a lithium ion battery that can be charged by an on board micro-turbine engine. • The car can get up to about 200 mpg.
