Yara Birkeland World First Auto Container Ship to Launch in 2018


Yara Birkeland World First Auto Container Ship Update: Norway-based Yara has revealed its plans to develop the world’s first all-electric and autonomous container ship that is predicted to remove 747 tons (678 tonnes) of carbon dioxide from the air by reducing diesel-powered truck haulage by 40,000 journeys a year.

Named ‘Yara Birkeland’, the high tech Yara Birkeland World First Auto Container Ship is set to sail in 2018 - it will initially be operated as a manned vessel, but the team has noted 2020 as when it will be fully autonomous. It is set to be the first ship to sail the seas without a single human on board.

The roads are becoming overcrowded with the number of tech giants and carmakers racing to release a fleet of self-driving taxis.


But, while they fight over the roads, Yara Birkeland World First Auto Container Ship is set to take over the seas.

The firm has teamed up with maritime technology company Kongsberg to build what is deemed an ‘innovation to protect our planet’.


Svein Tore Holsether, President and CEO of YARA said:
"Every day, more than 100 diesel truck journeys are needed to transport products from YARA's Porsgrunn plant to ports in Brevik and Larvik where we ship products to customers around the world."
Svein Tore Holsether added:
"With this new autonomous battery-driven container vessel we move transport from road to sea and thereby reduce noise and dust emissions, improve the safety of local roads, and reduce NOx and CO2 emissions."
Kongsberg is tasked with the development and delivery of all key enabling technologies on Yara Birkeland World First Auto Container Ship including the sensors and integration required for remote and autonomous operations, in addition to the electric drive, battery and propulsion control systems.

Geir Håøy, President and CEO of Kongsberg, said:
"By moving container transport from land to sea, YARA Birkeland is the start of a major contribution to fulfilling national and international environmental impact goals."
The new concept of Yara Birkeland World First Auto Container Ship is also a giant step forward towards increased seaborne transportation in general.


And the firms noted that Kongsberg’s integrated control and monitory system are already capable of providing technology for remote and unmanned operations.
Håøy added:
"Developing systems for autonomous operations is a major opening and natural step for KONGSBERG, considering our decades of expertise in the development and integration of advanced sensors, control and communication systems for all areas of ship operations."
Yara Birkeland World First Auto Container Ship will set the benchmark for the application of innovative maritime technology for more efficient and environment friendly shipping.

Toyota Aqua Prius C 2018 Launched-Check Engine Specs Exterior and Interior


Toyota Aqua Prius C 2018 Update: The Toyota Aqua also known as the Toyota Prius C might not be well known throughout the world, but it is proven to be extremely popular in Japan being one of the best selling cars there right now, in Q1 of 2017 alone Toyota has managed to shift nearly 40,000 units of the Aqua in Japan.




The Toyota Aqua Prius C 2018 is essentially what people call the “baby Prius”, it’s a smaller and more affordable version of the full sized Toyota Prius.



Now in 2017 Toyota has decided to refresh the Aqua once again with the new 2018 face lifted. Let’s take a deeper look into the baby Prius which has come of age.

Exterior



Toyota Aqua Prius C 2018 features an updated aggressive design language with new narrower LED headlights with daytime running lights, a large hexagonal shaped air intake and styled louvers near where the fog lights usually are.


The rear end features much of the same design, the new vertical taillights feature a slightly more modern design with a dark tint and a slightly more squared rear bumper.



There is also a new version of the Toyota Aqua that features more of a crossover design called the Toyota Aqua Crossover, with this crossover variant Toyota has decided to stray away from the traditional hatchback looks and give the Aqua more of a rugged SUV design.


That is why the updated Crossover variant of the Toyota Aqua features a more substantial ride height, aggressively styled louvers, new 16-inch aluminum wheels, roof rails, a faux skid plate and general SUV styling cues all around the vehicle.

Interior



According to the official announcements, no major changes were made to the interior of the new Toyota Aqua Prius C 2018.




Having said that, improvements have been made since the vehicle is now considered spacious and more comfortable.





Previously, it was argued that Toyota models from 2018 and onward will either have CarPlay or Android Auto connectivity feature, but that is not the case. Toyota is still keen on introducing its own proprietary infotainment system instead.


The lightly revised interior of Toyota Aqua Prius C 2018 includes a refreshed center stack and an updated steering wheel as shown below:

Engine

In spite of the 2018 Prius C’s new look, the model’s gasoline-electric powertrain is left unchanged. All Prius C models once again utilize a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine and two AC motor/generators that produce a combined 99 horsepower.


The larger motor/generator is geared directly to the final-drive differential to provide propulsion and to generate electricity during deceleration.

The smaller AC unit collaborates with the combustion engine through a planetary gearset to power the wheels with electronically controlled drive ratios, often called an electronic CVT.

The car also has an ECO mode for even greater efficiency, as well as the ability to travel solely on electric power for about a mile at speeds under 25 mph.

Release Date, Price & More

The new Toyota Aqua Prius C 2018 is expected to hit the market this summer. However, its fully redesigned model is not expected to arrive until 2019.

Official pricing for the Toyota Prius C will start at around Rs. 2.1 million, and it will come in 9 different colors:
  1. Tide Pool Pearl
  2. Moonglow
  3. Classic Silver Metallic
  4. Magnetic Gray Metallic
  5. Black Sand Pearl
  6. Absolutely Red
  7. Tangerine Splash Pearl
  8. Sandstorm
  9. Blue Streak Metallic
