New York City to Shut Down Mass Transit on Saturday at Noon

With Hurricane Irene pushing relentlessly toward the East Coast, officials made plans to shut down New York City’s sprawling subway and bus system beginning at noon on Saturday, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said.

The commuter rail lines that serve Long Island, Westchester County and Connecticut will also be shut down.

Officials decided to go ahead with the transit shutdown, which they had first mentioned on Thursday as a possibility at a City Hall briefing on Thursday, as the city was evacuating hospitals and nursing homes in low-lying areas. State officials continued arrangements for coordinating emergency services and restoring electricity if the storm does the kind of damage many fear.

2012 Honda Jazz Hybrid

The start from the Honda Jazz Hybrid will mark the very first time a parallel hybrid automobile has been obtainable to B-segment customers.

The system is shared with the Insight and CR-Z hybrids. In the heart of this compact hybrid is really a one.three litre i-VTEC engine mixed with a CVT gearbox with an electric motor sandwiched between the 2 to produce a parallel hybrid system. The car will be capable of operating around the electric motor on your own beneath low pace circumstances.

Visual modifications in comparison with the regular Jazz include revised headlights, having a blue surround, obvious rear lights, new entrance grille, restyled bumpers, a chrome tailgate garnish and a new Lime Green metallic colour.

The Jazz hybrid will go on sale in early 2011. No details on pricing yet, however the rumour will be the hybrid model wears a three,700 Euro premium over the standard Jazz.

Honda plans to roll out an electrical automobile and plug-in hybrids in 2012 as it tries to catch up within the race to create battery-powered cars. At a news convention, Chief Executive Takanobu Ito, outlining the firm’s medium-term technique, said Honda was preparing to sell a plug-in hybrid vehicle and a battery-powered electric design in Japan and also the USA in 2012. “Considering Toyota is about to start a plug-in hybrid next yr, Honda’s 2012 routine seems a little much off.

This underscores the gap within the level of technologies at these automakers,” stated Kazutaka Oshima, president of Rakuten Investment Management.

“That said, while Toyota has the lead, there truly isn’t anyone else who is as advanced as Toyota in this field and Honda seems to become shut.” A new plug-in hybrid program for midsize to bigger vehicles will probably be launched within the U.S. marketplace in 2012.

Civic’s new lithium-ion battery was developed via the Honda and GS Yuasa joint-venture company, Blue Power. this program will likely be smaller sized, lighter and much more potent than today’s nickel-metal hydrides, which energy most hybrids. It should give the Civic much much better range, and probably the ability to operate for miles on electric-only energy, a ability it lacks now. The new Honda Civic sedan is due to arrive showroom in late 2011/early2012
