The Consorci de la Franca area in Barcelona, which administers one of the industrial areas of southern Europe's largest, has opted to use from now on hybrid technology-powered vehicles in the patrols carried out by the extensive estate of 600 hectares, in order to save on fuel costs and avoid the most emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere.
The vehicles that used the CZFB combined electricity and fossil fuel according to needs of use and have a low level of emissions of CO2, only 101 grams per km. On the other hand, eléctrico-fósil mixed consumption is 4.4 gallons of fuel each 100 kilometres, economically very interesting for vehicles 24 hours a day, 365 days a year at a constant speed in the routine work of the security round. Also, the model of double electric motor and gasoline that will use the CZFB vehicles to patrol the 26 miles of streets in the polygon also takes the kinetic energy developed by the vehicle and accumulating in batteries. Thus, when precise braking, it runs through this regenerative storage. When the vehicle is stationary, the combustion engine for also, in a way that it does not consume fuel or contaminates.
