Its a new Kia concept car production, the Kia Aero Soul concept car, which was designed and build to improve the fuel consumption and exhaust emissions to be more eco dynamics one. The car featuring the new innovative with the cost effective features called Air Propulsion and Retardation Installation Line , called APRIL. The system uses small sensors in front and rear to monitor wind speed and uses data collected to push the car, the same concept used by airplanes.
“The big problem with most emission reduction systems is that they are expensive. We wanted to come up with an answer that didn’t cost the earth and could be retrospectively applied to cars already on the road,” said Avril Babo, The Kia systems manager. The system was tested at Kia’s Nong Dam facility and show results of 25% savings of fuel consumption and 40% of emmisions cut. Calm weather would under braking the result to 10% and 15% respectively. Kia also stated that downhill will be the perfect one for this car as the wind can reduced the fuel and exhaust gasses to almost zero.
The APRIL will be available as after market accessory officially from Kia to retrofit the existing Kia cars. This technology will surely save much more money especially during this economic downtime.
