Iran unveils mass production lines of tactical vehicle, mortar system
Iran unveiled mass production lines of 3.4 tone tactical vehicle dubbed "Kaviran" and 120mm mortar system of "Razm" as the country is marking the 4th day of its Holy Defense Week on Saturday."Kaviran can be used in uneven paths and it increases operational power of armed forces in ground battles," Iranian Defense Minister, Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi said in the unveiling ceremony of the defense projects.
The vehicle can pass across river with 70 centimeter depth and is able to work as troop carrier, ambulance, 107mm rocket-launcher and 120mm mortar carrier, he added.
Vahidi continued, "120mm mortar which is of long-range class has already been produced with the range of 6200 meter, but the range is increased to 16 kilometers (the range is doubled) with efforts of Iranian Defense Ministry experts."
The system is very powerful and agile and can be placed on Kaviran tactical vehicle, he noted.
Iran's IKCO Plans for a Low-cost Car
Javad Najmeddin, IKCO CEO in this regard said, "In order to gain more domestic and international market share and meet customers' demands, IKCO is going to design and present eight new products within the next five years.Najmeddin then pointed out that two of these eight new cars would be designed and manufactured on totally new platforms, one of which would belong to A or B segment and would cost 8000 to 10000 dollars.
"The Design and production of an eight thousand dollar passenger car that meets all modern standards is a difficult and complicated process," IKCO CEO said and added, "when we talk of a low-cost car, we still consider a quality car that observes all required standards."
Paykan was one of IKCO's most popular sedans that was phased out in 2006.

Made in Palestine: Cars Work on Compressed Air
Imagine that your car could run on compressed air instead of gas; that is exactly what Immad Hasuna, a Palestinian mechanic has done.Hasuna, age 26, owns a small car repair shop in the central West Bank city of Ramallah, descendant from a 1948 refugee family; he is a simple mechanic that did not go to school to learn his trade.
The idea started two years ago, Hassina says, as he was cleaning a truck engine using compressed air, the car moved few meters due the air purser in the engine. This made him think about how an air purser could be used to move the truck faster and for long distance.
Later, Hasuna experimented with his idea by hooking an air compressor in a truck and use the air purser to make the car engine run, the experiment worked and the first engine working on air was born.
The new engine is safe, it does not explode in accidents, and does not heat up, in fact because of the compressed air the engine cools with more distance the car drives, Hasuna explains. In addition this engine will be cheaper to operate.
Regarding the environment, since the engine does not operate with gas there are no ignition fumes and the car does not generate CO2, making Hasuna's engine 100% environmentally friendly.
The Palestinian Authority granted Hasuna a patent on his engine, he won the first prize at the Made In Palestine Contest. In addition, the Palestinian Prime Mister Salam Fayyad donated a government car for Hasuna to do experiments on.
Hasuna says that he is looking for funding to continue working on his engine, he hopes that this engine will be available for consumers soon.

Pengembangan Sepeda Motor Listrik Nasional
Dalam menghadapi tantangan kebutuhan energi yang semakin tinggi di satu pihak, maka sudah menjadi keterharusan di pihak pengguna energi untuk melakukan upaya signifikan dalam penghematan energi dan upaya nyata pengurangan emisi karbon, sebagaimana yang di sampaikan oleh Presiden SBY pada pertemuan “United Nations Climate Change Conference” yang dikenal sebagai Pertemuan Copenhagen 2009 dimana para pemimpin dunia sepakat untuk mengurangi produksi gas emisi pada tahun 2030 mendatang. Indonesia termasuk salah satu negara yang berjanji akan mengurangi jumlah gas emisi sebanyak 26 persen pada tahun 2030 mendatang.Inovasi teknologi energi baru dan terbarukan yang diaplikasikan pada sektor transportasi sudah menjadi kewajiban para ilmuwan, peneliti dan para rekayasa untuk mengembangkan inovasi teknologi alat-alat transportasi yang ramah lingkungan, hemat energi serta murah dan awet pemeliharaan. Kementerian Riset dan Teknologi berupaya mendukung dan mendorong teknologi inovasi kerjasama ABG (Academician, Business dan Government) yang telah dilakukan oleh Pusat Penelitian Tenaga Listrik dan Mekatronika LIPI Bandung dengan PT Betrix Indonesia dalam mengembangkan proyek sepeda motor listrik tanpa BBM dan infrastruktur stasiun "electric re-fuelling system” pertama karya anak bangsa.
Prototype sepeda motor listrik tanpa BBM tersebut diberi merk "ABYOR" yang berarti cemerlang dengan kinerja jarak tempuh 200 km per pengisian baterei (recharging), kecepatan maksimum 40 km/jam, akselerasi 0-35 km/jam dalam 10 detik. Acara uji-coba telah dilakukan oleh tim gabungan dari Biro Litbang Polri, Dit Samapta, Ditlantas Mabes Polri di Lapangan Brigif 15 Kujang II Cimahi Jawa-Barat, yang dibuka oleh Hari Purwanto Asisten Deputi Program Unggulan dan Strategis Kementerian Riset dan Teknologi serta dihadiri Kepala Pusat Inovasi LIPI, Bambang Subiyanto, Kepala Pusat Penelitian Tenaga Listrik dan Mekatronika LIPI, Adi Santoso, serta pejabat teras PLN serta berbagai pihak ABG lainnya yang lalu.
Dalam kesempatan yang sama, Hari Purwanto meninjau dan mencoba kendaraan minibus roda empat yang bermesin full listrik hasil kerjasama pengembangan LIPI dan DIKTI, serta eksperimen pemanfaatan hidrogen generator hasil pengembangan LIPI dan PLN pada kendaraan roda empat lainnya.
Untuk kedepan, kebijakan riset dan teknologi diarahkan guna menggalang upaya nyata kerjasama konsorsium R&D yang dapat meningkatkan produktifitas R&D yang didukung berbagai pihak seperti kemampuan disain lokal serta meningkatkan kandungan lokal, sehingga diharapkan dapat mempercepat pertumbuhan kapasitas inovasi teknologi transportasi yang "ramah lingkungan", terjangkau dan murah dapat semakin terwujud, guna melakukan upaya nyata seperti apa yang telah disampaikan oleh Presiden SBY pada pertemuan Copenhagen tahun 2009.

First flying car wins permit in US
A light aircraft that can convert into an automobile has been allowed into US skies to help a long dreamed-of "flying car" come true.Whether it is to avoid a traffic jam or just get to a destination faster, the idea of combining a car and plane or having a flying gear has always been appealing.
A private aircraft manufacturing company based in Woburn, Massachusetts, has blended the two modes of transport quite well in its roadable Terrafugia Transition.
According to Terrafugia Inc., the vehicle can fly a distance of up to 640 kilometers (around 398 mile) on a single tank of gas at a cruising speed of 185 km/h. Upon landing and with its wings folded up, it can also drive highway speeds on the road.
It is also permitted to take off a maximum weight of about 650 kilograms, which is 50 kilograms above the limit for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) light sport aircraft category.
Terrafugia won a key federal approval for its flying car which has already completed flight tests to become the latest manifestation of a long-running fantasy.
The significant innovation now fills a blank in humans' life which existed almost as long as there have been automobiles.
The company will begin production later this year with about 20 vehicles.
Terrafugia said it has collected $10,000 deposits from more than 70 potential buyers for the $194,000 craft with the first flying car expected off the production line in 18 months.
