New Volvo GTDi Engine


Volvo cars will soon be seeing new engines, more fuel efficiency, more energy efficient and all.
In this realm of specialty engines that luxury cars make, it is definitely interesting to note the key factors that they are using to compete with Hybrids.

Granted, apart from the engine and the efficiency, there are a whole lot of what I call 'comfort factors' that set the luxury segment apart. But today's mid level and hybrids are not far behind to add these in. It is doing the other part that is tougher, i.e., adding a higher fuel efficient engine that can compete with hybrids, reduce carbon footprint by imposing strict rations to emissions, etc.

Volvo, VW and others are spending a lot of resources into developing these.




Dear Blog,
What can i say, I know I was not able to share my thoughts with you, for the past few months. Seems like life took a nasty turn pulling me away in numerous directions. Nidhish Kedar arrived, got involved in a multicar crash, Shift of plans in many respects, and now I have an impending relocation to a different city.

Regardless, what I could not muster until this morning, was the means to get back even. What is chaos, if one does not know how to remain firmly grounded? Where is resolve, when one allows to get pulled in all directions?

So, here I am back again, putting a full stop to my excuses, I will consistently share my ideas and thoughts out here with you and our friends !
