TNO Automotive recently signed a Letter of Intent with LML Korea Co, Ltd. regarding the granting to LML of an exclusive licence to use the TNO-developed series hybrid powertrain control strategy for a number of specific applications.
LML Korea is now using the TNO Hybrid CarLab—a diesel series hybrid NewBeetle with 150 kW of drive power and fuel consumption of 4.0-4.5 liters/100km (52-59 mpg US)—as a demonstrator. The Hybrid CarLab finished second in the 2005 Monte Carlo Rally for hybrid and fuel cell vehicles.
The NewBeetle hybrid demonstrator uses an aluminum, 3-cylinder, 40 kW (54 hp) diesel genset that powers the 150 kW peak (50 kW continuous) front-wheel drive. Supercapacitors (3,500 F, 200-400V) provide energy storage. The TNO Hybrid Control system, based on TNO MACS controller hardware, manages the generator set and the hybrid system.
LML Korea Several has defined and is developing several possible applications for the hybrid technology. Current LML Korea activities include:
Marketing and production of the Wankel Rotary engine KKM 500 in Korea.
Marketing and assembly of the Rhino ATV in Asia.
Execution of a renewable energy project in Indonesia’s Molluccan province.
TNO is an independent Dutch R&D organization that provides contract research and specialist consultancy as well as licenses for patents and specialist software.

I think the EMF will kill the Electric Car and so people should stop making electric cars they are wasting their time really! Think about it, if just sleeping next to a plug outlet in your home, using laptops and cell phones causes cancer and health problems what do you think HUGE ELECTRIC MOTORS all around you while you drive around for hours are going to do? Elevated EMF man think! No one wants to risk it, I don't, also people who do when they find out it will be too late, electric car manufacturers are wasting their time it will fail.
THE SOLUTION is HYDROGEN FUEL CELL CARS! CLEAN, water vapor emissions, no elevated EMF and BMW is coming out with a nice one next year. I looked around the Internet I am not the only one warning people of EMF, just microwaves, cell phone towers, electrical outlets, your computer, your monitor constantly gives off EMF and yes they do affect you even if you do not think they do or do not believe it. Again I would not want to risk it. Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars seems to be the solution and answer....the cleanest, most eco, etc....no EMF!

Lease purchasing, at least in my opinion, is one the best niche techniques for buying, selling, and investing in Real Estate.

There is absolutely no difference, and they all mean exactly the same thing. A Lease Purchase is your standard lease along with the option, not the obligation (important distinction), to purchase.
