Clifford Concept 650 MK2 – Superior Car Security
Posted by admin in Concept Car on October 16, 2011
For outstanding car security, the Clifford Concept 650 Mk2 is all you need. It features a multifunction remote control, allowing the system to be controlled and adjusted from the palm of your hand. Silent arm and disarm, auxiliary output control, and sensor manipulation are all possible from the remote. Add to this anti-code grabbing technology and remote battery low alerts, and the result is a superb quality vehicle security system.
Clifford Car Alarm
The 650 Mk2 Clifford car alarm comes with two distinctive five button remotes. The first four buttons feature:
1. Arm / Disarm
2. Auxiliary output A – usually boot release
3. Star button – remote start the engine if fitted
4. Double star button – silent arm/disarm
Button one is self-explanatory, however if the system is wired up to the car’s central locking system then this switch will also lock and unlock the car doors remotely. Button two is usually connected to the car boot release, if it is fitted with a motor and therefore capable. The star button activates engine remote start, if an extra remote start module is fitted. Button four can be used instead of button one for a silent arm and disarm function. Read the rest of this entry »

While major U.S. automakers are focusing on hybrid and fuel cell vehicles, Volvo took a different route, unveiling a sports car powered entirely with lithium-ion batteries. Volvo’s 3CC concept car, won “Best Design” and five Gold Standards at the recent Michelin Challenge Bibendum environmental competition in Shanghai, China.
“Not only does the 3CC combine classic Volvo styling cues with exotic gull-wing doors and a tapered, 2+1 seating configuration, but it does so with a highly advanced lithium-ion battery electric drive train. That’s a step apart from the crowd, which these days is largely focused on hybrid and fuel cell concepts,” says Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of the Green Car Journal.
“Just as the earlier ECC forwarded new thought in hybrid propulsion with its high-speed turbine-generator design,” adds Cogan, “today’s lithium-ion 3CC innovates with its thousands of smallish laptop computer-style batteries, which power this zero emission vehicle to impressive levels of efficiency and performance.”
Advanced research into sustainable mobility and Volvo engineers have placed particular focus on the conditions regulating safety in small cars and their ability to handle incoming forces in a frontal collision.
The unique aerodynamic styling of Volvo’s 3CC concept car allows room for a third seat in back. The unique ducktail design creates room for a third seat in the back, while the batteries are sandwiched into the floor panels. Read the rest of this entry »
