A new law will allow European community to approve the cars to hydrogen. The one thing that seems “obvious” is a decisive step forward for road testing of these vehicles, but still acerbi intended to have a key role in the next decade. The measure actually comes into force in 2010.

What was a genuine legislative vacuum was filled and then finally manufacturers should be able to count on a broad framework around which to work to prepare the first versions supplied with indrogeno of their cars, no longer limited to prototypes from salon. The idea is both to accelerate the emergence of these cars, is to give confidence to customers who are approaching this technology, ensuring safety and quality of the product with very precise rules.

BMW will recall 200,000 cars well-constructed between 2004 and 2006 for a possible malfunction dell’airbag passenger side of Series 3, Series 5 and x3. The problem caused by a malfunctioning sensor presence on the seat. The recall took place after an alert dell’NHTSA, the American institution for Safety Road and then, we imagine, will be linked to U.S. car market, unless further details.

From the spring of 2009, Mercedes-Benz will introduce his latest rediscovered technology: the new “Driver Attention Support System”, created to recognize the driver fatigue and warn of danger. The statistics in fact show how the so-called “coups sleep” and the weakness of the driver are the cause of a high number of accidents: more than they causes drunk driving or under the influence of drugs.

The system operates monitorizzando style driving through a series of parameters such as the action of the driver on the steering, as also used to calculate traffic conditions on the basis of the longitudinal and transverse acceleration. Other data as the system takes into account are the conditions of the road, weather and the organisation.

Standby very little between the Italian market, the new Dodge Journey is already the subject of a major recall issued dall’NHTSA and well on 6692 copies sold in the U.S..

These models equipped with the 3.5 V6 petrol (not marketed by us) on which, because of a problem to the attachment of electric cables, and the consequent potential contacts with mechanical parts hot, there is a risk of fire.

In case of detection of the breakdown, the Dodge dealer will clear the immediate replacement of defective supports. Chrysler was aware of the problem by mid-March, but fortunately so far not encountered any fire.
