The New Breed of Cars (ZEV) by 2016 -- French auto-maker Peugeot announced "Hybrid Air" (Video)

French auto-makers PSA Peugeot Citroen has announced their plans to introduce an all new breed of cars by the year 2016.

The New Breed of Cars (ZEV) by 2016 -- French auto-maker Peugeot announced "Hybrid Air" 

According to details; an unusual hybrid driveline, dubbed as “Hybrid Air” will harness compressed air to assist a gasoline engine rather than a battery and electric motor.

The auto-designers at Peugeot, working on the proto-type, say it will slash 45% off fuel bills for an average motorist. And when driving in towns and cities costs could be cut by as much as 80% because the car will be running on compressed-air for 4/5th of the time.

It will be driven by compressed air stored in carbon-fiber tanks built into the chassis.  In two or three minutes, and at a cost of approximately 2 dollars (1.5 Euros), the car will be ready to travel another 125-175 miles (200-300 km), the scientists told further.

The company claims that the Hybrid Air system could improve the fuel economy of a Ford Fiesta or Ford Focus-sized car by as much as 45 percent.

The system works by using a normal internal combustion engine, special hydraulics and an adapted gearbox along with compressed air cylinders that store and release energy. This enables it to run on petrol or air, or a combination of the two.

Auto-industry experts hope the air-powered vehicles will be a breath of fresh air for the environment, the air-only mode converts the car into a ZEV, a "zero emission vehicle," the company said in a press release.

The Hybrid Air system weighs around 220 pounds, about half the weight of a conventional electric hybrid. It is much simpler than current systems and uses no rare metals or materials that are difficult to recycle. Peugeot plans to use it in power-trains producing between 80 and 100 horsepower and says it will launch cars and vans with the system in 2016.

Tom Cruise files $50m defamation lawsuit against tabloids over abandoned daughter claims

According to details; actor's lawyer Bert Fields, the lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles on Wednesday (October 24) for defamation and false-light invasion of privacy against Bauer Publishing — which publishes responsible parties Life & Style and In Touch, which published on July 30 devastating headline, "Suri in Tears: Abandoned By Her Dad" accompanied by a picture of a tearful Suri; as well as the October 1st cover of In Touch, which shows a picture of Suri above the headline, "ABANDONED BY DADDY."

"Tom is a caring father who dearly loves Suri," attorney Bert Fields said in a statement Wednesday. "To say he has 'abandoned' her is a vicious lie. To say it in lurid headlines with a tearful picture of Suri is reprehensible."

"These serial defamers are foreign-owned companies with their global headquarters in Hamburg. They take money from unsuspecting Americans by selling their malicious garbage. Having to pay a libel judgment may slow them down,” Fileds said further.

In the complaint, 50-year-old Top Gun actor charges that “through his representatives, plaintiff has attempted to correct these fabrications by providing defendants with the true bacts before the lies went to press. But defendants have demonstrated that they have no interest in the truth, and will stop at nothing to push the sales of their tabloids, even if this means exploiting a defenseless six year old child on their cover.”

Worried Kate Middleton asks sister Pippa to attend media lessons before US Tour

Kate Middleton's 27-year-old sister Pippa Middleton is set to start her first solo US tour later this month to promote her upcoming party-planning book "Celebrate", expected to hit the market in the last week of October.

Worried Kate Middleton asks sister Pippa to attend media lessons before US Tour

Following the recent humiliating nude scandals, involving Prince Harry and the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton,  that have embarrassed the royal family; Bukingham Palace is worried about Pippa's US tour due to likely scandals that might further humiliate royal family.

Kate Middleton, who has already suffered more than enough humiliation in very recent past, can't afford anymore embarrassing situations and is hoping her younger sister, Pippa Middleton, will behave while on her promotional tour to US. 

According to an insider source from Palace, "Pippa's been summoned for a crisis meeting." To ensure Pippa, 29, doesn't get caught in any scandal, Kate has requested her to attend media lessons at the Palace to learn how to act and what to say when under the glare of the limelight.

Pippa caused embarrassment to her sister earlier this year when a man she was in a car with brandished a 'fake' gun at following photographers. Although Pippa stayed out of the spotlight following the incident but after a high profile visit to New York in August, it seems she is back in the news, to the annoyance of big sister Kate.

Hopefully this time, Pippa will listen to her elder sister. Both Middleton ladies have suffered their fair share of scandal this year. Kate Middleton does not need any more attention.
