What is ¡-ELOOP ? Again Mazda is first with innovation

¡-ELOOP

is a new type of brake energy
regeneration system. It provides many of the
benefits of hybrid vehicles (recapturing of
wasted energy to enhance efficiency) without the
complexity. This innovative system incorporates
two automotive firsts:

 It is the first system to use a capacitor in
a passenger vehicle to store electricity
generated by brake energy regeneration

 It is the first system to routinely power a
passenger vehicle’s electrical components
from a capacitor, even while the car is
in motion

How Does it Work?

Traditionally, when an engine is running (during
normal driving) up to 10% of the energy goes to
charging the battery and running the electrical
systems found throughout the vehicle. However,
with ¡-ELOOP, when a vehicle is slowing down
(and the engine is coasting/not burning fuel) an
advanced, variable-voltage alternator is driven
by the kinetic energy of the vehicle.
As the vehicle slows down, the drive wheels force
the engine to turn, even though no fuel is being
burned – this is commonly known as engine
braking. The turning of the engine drives the
alternator, which in turn creates the electricity
to run the electrical systems of the vehicle. Any
excess energy is sent to charge the capacitor

The Benefits

Customers may not understand the
technology behind ¡-ELOOP but
the benefits are simple – significantly
improved fuel efficiency without
the weight, cost or complexity of a
conventional hybrid. It is just one
more example of the innovation of
SKYACTIV-Technology.

What is a Capacitor?
Batteries store electricity as chemical energy
and they release that energy by reversing the
chemical process. This is why batteries warm
up when they’re charged or discharged (think
of how a cell phone heats up when you’ve been
talking for an extended period of time). Because
of this chemical process, batteries don’t like
to be charged or discharged, quickly. In fact,
a battery can only be cycled a limited number
of times before its effectiveness decreases
and it needs to be replaced.
A capacitor can be cycled an indefinite number
of times because it stores electricity as
electricity (think of rubbing a balloon on your
head and sticking it to a wall with the resulting
static electricity).
In normal driving, the electrical needs of the
vehicle are handled by the alternator and the
capacitor. This means that the battery doesn’t
need to be charged as frequently. Consequently,
the battery in vehicles equipped with ¡-ELOOP,
is expected to have a much longer life.

The Extra's on bill of Sale! Freight, PDI, Air Tax, DOC Fee's, Window Etching..What are all these charges on the bill mean? Well here's the breakdown!

The Freight is $1,095 represents the amount charged by the manufacturer to transport the vehicle to the dealer's lot. Freight charges vary from model to model.

The PDI (Pre-Delivery Expense/inspection) represents the amount that the dealer to charge for setting up the vehicle for delivery (including all pre-delivery inspections, mechanical set ups, and detailing).

The other fees and taxes that must be paid in Ontario for a new car are:

Air Tax. The federal government charges an air conditioner excise tax of $100 (if your vehicle has air conditioning).

OTS Tax. The Ontario Tire Stewardship fee is charged on all tires to cover the eventual disposal cost for the tires on your car. The government used to charge this only when you disposed of old tires but recently decided it was better to get the money upfront. For passenger vehicles and light trucks, the fee is $5.69 per tire. With four tires and a spare on your new car, the fee works out to be $28.45.

OMVIC Fee. The Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council is the governing body for car dealership and car salespeople. OMVIC collects a $5 transaction fee to support its dispute resolution activities.

Bank Fee. If you finance or lease a vehicle, the bank or leasing company will charge a fee to set up the loan and register the lien on the vehicle under the requirements of the Personal Property Security Act (PPSA). Our fee is 76.70. If you pay cash, this charge does not apply.

Licensing. Most dealerships charge an administration fee to take care of the licensing of the new vehicle including transferring plates if necessary. The charge is normally about $25 plus the cost of your sticker plus any outstanding fines.

HST. Most goods and services in Ontario are now subject to the 13% HST which replaces the old PST/GST. If you are trading in a vehicle, you only pay HST on the difference between the new car price and the value of you trade-in.

Security Package. Most dealers etch their vehicles with a police traceable code that is part of an insurance policy in case the vehicle gets stolen. You may purchase this protection, however, depending on your current automobile insurance policy, you may already have equivalent coverage from your insurance company. Look for this on your purchase agreement; it may have already been included in the payment quoted.

• Nitrogen Filled Tires. There are benefits to having your tires filled with 100% nitrogen as it helps maintain constant tire pressures and helps improve tire life. If you buy it, see that you get some kind of road hazard tire warranty with it. And note what is charged for this extra. Some dealers include it with the security package.
• Wheel Locks. Most cars now come with expensive alloy wheels so most dealers install wheel locks on the vehicle when it arrives on the lot. This is pretty inexpensive insurance against getting these stolen off your vehicle. Dealers usually charge about $75 to install these locks. We charge 49$

The All-New Mazda3 Redefines the Sports Compact

HIROSHIMA, Japan—Mazda Motor Corporation today revealed the hatchback version of the all-new Mazda3 (known as Mazda Axela in Japan). The redesigned Mazda3 is the third in Mazda's new generation of products that adopt both the KODO - Soul of Motion design theme and the full-suite of SKYACTIV Technologies.

The line-up will be optimized for each market to meet the diverse needs of a wide variety of customers around the world. A sedan model featuring a hybrid electric powertrain will be available in Japan. Since the launch of the first generation in 2003, more than 3.5 million Mazda3s have been sold around the world. It is the best-selling model in the Mazda lineup and accounts for a third of the company's annual global sales. Previous generations of the Mazda3 were acclaimed in markets around the world for their emotive design, responsive and enjoyable driving, environmental and safety performance, and excellent craftsmanship.
