Insure both your car and home with the same company Again, this may qualify you for a discount called the multi-line discount. Most companies offer this savings as an incentive to get your home insurance business too. Have an anti-theft device installed in your car If you take measures to ensure your car is less like- ly to be stolen, then some insurance companies will offer an anti-theft discount if certain anti-theft devices are installed. Ask about other discounts you might be able to get Additional common discounts include the age, low mileage, occupational and auto club discounts, all of which could save you money, if you qualify. Increase your deductibles The higher your deductibles, the lower your insur- ance premium, so raise them as much as you can. Keep it affordable though, because this is how much youll have to cover if you need to submit a claim. Drive carefully Drivers with no accidents, tickets or insurance claims almost always pay less for their auto insurance coverage. With a less than perfect driving record, you can find yourself paying much higher insurance pre- miums over the years. Dont believe the myths about auto insurance pre- miums.

News Canada Volkswagens TDI Hybrid uses diesel engine and electric motor The challenge: to create a viable, highly efficient fam- ily vehicle capable of emitting less than 90 g/km of CO2. The Volkswagen engineers solution, unveiled on the eve of the Geneva Motor Show, combines an advanced diesel engine with an electric motor and the very latest generation of seven-speed DSG gearbox. The so-called Golf TDI Hybrid concept vehicle is capable of achieving 83 mpg on the combined cycle and emitting just 89 g/km of CO-2 while around town the vehicle reverts to purely electric mode to be emis- sion-free. At the core of the new Golf TDI Hybrid is a highly efficient 1.2-litre three-cylinder common rail TDI diesel engine developing 75 hp and 132 lb/ft of torque. Working either in tandem with the diesel engine or, if required, on its own, is an electric motor developing 27 hp and 103 lb/ft of torque. The electric motor also replaces the conventional starter motor and alternator to save weight and improve packaging. It can also operate as a generator, recovering kinetic energy from the car during braking to charge the 220 volt, 45 kg nickel metal hydride battery which has a capacity of 1.4 kW hours. In practice the electric motor powers the vehicle from standstill with the diesel engine only engaging should additional acceleration be required or at higher speeds. In these situations the diesel engine takes over with the electric motor only working if required to supple- ment the combustion engine, for example, during over- taking manoeuvres. When at a standstill the diesel engine shuts down completely to conserve fuel and increase efficiency. The energy split is relayed to the driver and passengers through a graphic display accessed through the touch- screen satellite navigation screen. Drive on the concept car is channelled through the new seven-speed DSG twin-clutch gearbox. This features a pair of dry clutches as opposed to the wet clutches and sets a new energy efficiency standard for automatic gearboxes.
