EchoDrive- Cost Effective Green Driving Solution

Introduction to EchoDrive

Echo Automotive’s EchoDrive is an innovative add-on hybrid drive system that transforms your gas/ diesel vehicle to electric vehicle, but it won’t affect the performance so you will get the same output as of a gasoline or diesel driven vehicle. In brief EchoDrive is an environment friendly and cost-reduction solution for converting fleet vehicles into highly fuel-efficient plug-in hybrids.

How EchoDrive works

EchoDrive is a best and much awaited solution to convert commercial vehicles intro hybrid which improves the fuel economy of your vehicle and saves money on fuel costs by utilizing the proper combination of electric and fossil energy. According to a study EchoDrive doubles the fuel economy by converting a stock 10 mpg vehicle to 15-20 miles per gallon. Along with this, EchoDrive helps to keep the environment safe from carbon emission.

How EchoDrive works?

Echo Automotive’s EchoDrive comes up with advanced electric motor, system controller and modular battery pack which could be fitted to any kind of vehicles including a light to medium duty trucks. These components are fixed on vehicles’ powertrain where usually the electric motor and system controller in front and battery pack at the rear. It uses high capacity Li-ion batteries for outstanding performance.

EchoDrive which integrates with vehicle’s existing system decides how best it can utilize electrical power so that your vehicle can use as less gas or diesel it can and as a result the EchoDrive powered vehicle uses lesser than 50% fossil fuel.

Salient Features of EchoDrive

  • Stopping our environment from being contaminated is a foremost task and EchoDrive is a one and only solution that helps us to initiate this task. EchoDrive improves the fuel economy that leads to lower carbon emissions.
  • EchoDrive delivers the power at the equivalent of 75 cents per gallon
  • Vehicle will be thoroughly analyzed using advanced dynamotor tests along with on-the-road performance testing therefore there is no need to worry about vehicle performance.
  • EchoDrive includes an energy recovery circuit, a technology known as “regenerative braking” which picks braking energy to recharge the battery.
  • EchoDrive features flexible battery design allowing battery packs to be sized to the particular power requirements of any EcoDrive vehicle.
  • EchoDrive thoroughly tests for Battery cycling that leads to long-term performance.
  • The economic benefit of EchoDrive is that, the amount you invest in installing EchoDrive is returned in just 2 to 3 years.
  • The conversion process doesn’t require EPA approval, crash tests or major renovations.

The features which I liked personally are cost effectiveness and environment friendly, EchoDrive is less expensive compared to others and you will get back the installation charges soon.

ECAU

Echo Automotive has attracted industry attention, the well-known companies and industries interested in EchoDrive are FedEx, Delco Remy, Amp Electric Vehicles, Tesla, Eaton Corp, Iveco, Isuzu, Delphi Electronics.

What Would be the Impact of EchoDrive on Environment?

EchoDrive powered vehicles are not only favorable to your wallet, but to the environment as well. With the EchoDrive retrofit, 35 million commercial vehicles on American roadways can be converted to hybrid vehicles, just imagine how it would be helpful for our environment.

Being environmentally conscious is mandatory especially in current situation where more than 4 billion and 160 million metric tons of carbon dioxide is produced by 800 million cars globally. Even if we manage to convert 400 million cars to EchoDrive hybrid then we can stop half of global carbon emission which automatically helps to reduce global warming.

Security Vulnerability in Java 7 Discovered by Apple

1

Security Vulnerability in Java 7 Discovered by AppleOracle had just released recently the amazing Java 7 Update 11 to protect computers against malware and stop the worst thing that can happen as aspired by cyber criminals – bringing computerization back to block zero. It became a nightmare when Adam Gowdiak, founder of the Security Exploration of IDG Service received an email about the newly discovered technical detail on security vulnerabilities of Java 7 Update 11(JRE version 1.7.0_11-b21). Many subscribers were shaken about this news that their computer can still be exploited despite subscribing to Java. This vulnerability was said to allow the security sandbox software invasion and will not hinder implementation of arbitrary code.  These findings were reported at once to Oracle together with the proof-of-concept code.

Investigators from the said Security Exploration Services was conclusive – that the technique used by the cybercriminals in exploiting Java’s system was linked to the two Java vulnerabilities indicated during a Java sandbox leakage. However, it was later found by researchers to be a different case – but investigators warned users just the same. They should never underestimate the ability and abusive intellect of the perpetrators. Once the attackers detect a perfect chance to attack Java applets, they will not think twice in doing some harm – just when everyone is feeling secured with their security software.

Based on the Security Exploration’s policy, the disclosure of technical issue to the public can only be undertaken after the issuance of the patch by the seller. Just for security reasons, it is advised by some security researchers and the US-CERT to look for other more dependable security application. The Computer Emergency Readiness Team in the US is even campaigning to Java users – to finally disable Java browser plug-in installed in their computer. In the same manner, the newly launched Java 7 Update 11 is considered as no longer safe to use because cyber criminals are obviously making it as a major target for their attack at any time.

Therefore, as expressed by Adam Gowdiak; the reliability of Java SE 7 code is now being questioned. This factor manifests the internal problem coverage in terms of the Java’s Secure Development Lifecycle program or other internal problems of Oracle. Gowdiak shares that the real purpose of Java 7 Update 11 is to protect the users’ application. So, from the point when a confirmation is asked to permit Java applets to perform inside the browsers, foreign malware should already be blocked immediately. This makes a lot of sense because this is when harmful malware lead the applets to go astray from the secure steps.

In response to this, Apple already took an exceptional step by applying the anti-malware tool in the form of OSX. This will enable the surviving installations of the Java 7 browser plug-in to be resistant to the damaging malware. To thoroughly fix the vulnerability, Java 7 Update 11 must be reformed in the default security setting by adjusting the security level from “medium” to “high”. This new setting will trigger the anti-malware software to issue some warnings before the Java plug-in is activated and this will prevent silent attack to your computer. This is surely an added task because unlike before the incident, it is not anymore enough to just install the Java’s applets – then web start for a safe operation.
