Designed to stop dogs fouling against the sparkling alloys of new BMW cars, the innovative Canine Repellent Alloy Protection system (C.R.A.P.) is the latest offering in the BMW EfficientDynamics programme.

Using the EfficientDynamics Brake Energy Regeneration system, energy that would normally have been lost during engine over-run and during braking is harnessed as Rim Impulse Power (R.I.P.) and stored for future use. Whenever a dog tries to relieve itself on the wheel of a suitably-equipped BMW, 2010 BMW 5 Series Chat a small and relatively painless electric shock is immediately administered to the animal, thus deterring it from future fouling.

Dr Hans Zoff, Head of Automotive Security from BMW AG, said; Research shows that most BMW customers like to keep their cars clean and dog fouling is a constant irritant. Not BMW Car Racing Post only does the Canine Repellent Alloy Protection system support this aim, but it does so using energy created through the EfficientDynamics programme.

$851 Million Projects for 2009

Posted by admin under Automobile News

In 2006, 42,642 lives were crashed in the US due to motor vehicle accidents; a huge number that is really threatening, especially for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). For NHTSA, this is something that requires a budget of $851 million from the Highway Trust Fund for the Fiscal Year 2009 to support its projects.

This amount of money is allotted to four divisions, each one aiming to decrease vehicular accidents and the number of lives sacrificed on the highways; these are Vehicular Safety Research, Highway Safety and Research Development, National Driver Register and lastly, for the Highway Traffic Safety Grants and High Visibility Enforcement which has the most allotted budget of $601 million.

Focusing on the one that requires the highest budget among the four, the Highway Traffic Safety Grants and High Visibility Enforcement is divided into eight highway traffic safety grant programs which can eventually reduce motor vehicle crashes, deaths and injuries with Child Safety and Child Booster Seat Safety Incentive Grants amounting to a $7 million budget and Seat Belt Performance Grants requiring $124.5 million.

This is obviously a huge and totally no joke budget indeed. But certainly, this is the authority’s way of reducing deaths on the road.
