Nowadays more and more families own private cars. Private cars, as the product of modem civilization, have been playing a vital role in people's daily activities.

First, private cars are a convenient means of transportation. You can go wherever you like. Secondly, there is no doubt that private cars will have a great impact on the economic growth. The rapid car industry growth will contribute much to keeping the country's economy growing at a higher rate in the near futrue.

But every coin has two sides. The development of the private cars will bring about a series of problems. For example, the polluted air given off by cars will do great harm to our health, too many private cars will lead to traffic jams and a great deal of energy will be wasted and so on.

So I think we should take advantages of private cars and make them serve us better. Meantime we hope that satisfactory solutions to these negative problems will be found soon.

Hyundai is one of the most famous brands of current transport market. It is one of the first 100 most valuable brands of the world, is operating business in around 193 countries at the moment and selling vehicles through 5000 showrooms and dealership. It is a self-grown South Korean brand of automobiles established in 1960’s, currently a part of the biggest Hyundai KIA Automobile Group. The company has faced steady growth in past few decades in different countries of the world. The first founder of Hyundai was “Chung ju Yung”, who was born into a poor family in Korea. Yung was quick to fill the void, having raised enough capital for the investment from his very profitable construction business, started in 1947. One year after its birth, the Hyundai Motor Company signed a technology-share agreement with Ford in 1968. Soon after Hyundai's access to Ford's resources, the first Hyundai car was developed: the Cortina. This model was quickly followed by the release of the Pony, Hyundai's first entirely Korean designed and built model. Its blueprints however, were not all-Korean, the company having used Japanese technology from Mitsubishi to develop the car. Moreover, Hyundai would only cross US borders later, in 1986, with the release of the Excel. The subcompact car was an instant hit with its fairly small price tag accounting for most of its popularity. The Excel was such a hit that it sold in over 100,00 units in the first seven months. At the beginning of 90’s, the company made huge investment in improving the design and technology and the company became one of the quality car manufacturer companies.

Toyota Avalon Hybrid will have wireless charging, but not the way you think

Toyota’s 2013 Avalon Limited has an integrated charging pad that fills up a phone battery simply by placing the device on the pad. When it comes with new Toyota Avalon hybrid limited, think of cell phone charging, not parking spaces with vibration pad.

The Japanese automakers which started selling the updated 2013 versions of both the standard Avalon and Avalon Hybrid this month, is offering a feature that lets drivers of both models charge up their portable devices wirelessly inside the car.

They also call it Qi wireless charging systems that involve a charging pad that’s located underneath a lid inside the car’s center console. Put your cell phone on the pad and it charges your phone automatically.

Although wireless charging of mobile devices hasn’t yet become mainstream in the home or office, it could be on the road. Toyota is adding a wireless charging pad in the car as part of a technology package. With the option, drivers and passengers can place a supported phone on the small console pad for a recharge during travel.
