WeLoveCars爱车一族
汽车是指有自身装备的动力装置驱动，一般具有四个或四个以上车轮，不依靠轨道或架线而在陆地行驶的车辆。汽车通常被用作载运客、货和牵引客、货挂车，也有为完成特定运输任务或作业任务而将其改装或经装配了专用设备成为专用车辆，但不包括专供农业使用的机械。全挂车和半挂车并无自带动力装置，它们与牵引汽车组成汽车列车时才属于汽车范畴。当今社会，汽车已经不仅仅是一种交通工具，也代表了一种潮流，一种时尚。尽管面临着昂贵的价格，维护保养的负担以及交通阻塞的压力，但拥有一辆属于自己的汽车始终是人们的追求和梦想。
What is car lovers
什么是爱车一族
An automobile, motor car or car is a wheeled motor vehicle used for transporting passengers, which also carries its own engine or motor. Most definitions of the term specify that automobiles are designed to run primarily on roads, to have seating for one to eight people, to typically have four wheels, and to be constructed principally for the transport of people rather than goods.
The term motorcar has also been used in the context of electrified rail systems to denote a car which functions as a small locomotive but also provides space for passengers and baggage. These locomotive cars were often used on suburban routes by both interurban and intercity railroad systems.
There are approximately 600 million passenger cars worldwide (roughly one car per eleven people). Around the world, there were about 806 million cars and light trucks on the road in 2007; they burn over a billion cubic meters (260 billion US gallons) of petrol/gasoline and diesel fuel yearly. The numbers are increasing rapidly, especially in China and India.
Automobile propulsion technology under development include gasoline/electric and plug-in hybrids, battery electric vehicles, hydrogen cars, biofuels, and various alternative fuels.
Research into future alternative forms of power include the development of fuel cells, Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI), stirling engines, and even using the stored energy of compressed air or liquid nitrogen.
New materials which may replace steel car bodies include duraluminum, fiberglass, carbon fiber, and carbon nanotubes.
Telematics technology is allowing more and more people to share cars, on a pay-as-you-go basis, through such schemes as City Car Club in the UK, Mobility in mainland Europe, and Zipcar in the US.
Communication is also evolving due to connected car systems.
The automotive market is formed by the demand and the industry. This article is about the general, major trends in the automotive market, mainly from the demand side.
The European automotive market has always boasted a higher number of smaller cars than the United States. With the high fuel prices and the world petroleum crisis, the United States may see its automotive market become more like the European market with fewer large vehicles on the road and more small cars.
For luxurious cars, with the current volatility in oil prices, buying smaller cars is not only smart, but also trendy. And because fashion is of high importance with the upper classes, the little green cars with luxury trimmings become quite plausible.
