The Plug-In Hybrid Development Consortium

The Plug-In Hybrid Development Consortium is made up of component suppliers working together to accelerate the commercial production of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV). Consortium members cooperate to identify specifications, develop compatible technologies and deliver innovative new system solutions that make affordable plug-in hybrids possible.
The Consortium’s cooperative efforts help automakers short-cut years of research and development, to leap ahead of the competition and offer the next generation of hybrid vehicles at a price that makes sense.
In addition to providing automakers with production ready PHEV components and system designs, the Consortium works to build political support and secure new funding to help automakers build PHEV prototypes using new technology from Consortium members.
We believe hybrid technology can improve every car... like fuel injection and electronic ignition. By helping to reduce the cost of plug-in hybrid components, the Consortium can help make PHEVs more affordable.
According to a U.S. Department of Transportation survey, most people drive less than 50 miles a day and only 5% of passenger cars travel more than 100 miles a day. By designing cars for the way we drive, the next generation hybrid could drive 50 miles a day in clean all-electric mode without stopping for gas, and automatically switch to hybrid mode for extended range. Clean renewable electric fuel, generated in the US, costs just 1/4 the price of petroleum fuel, often imported from abroad. Working together we can provide automakers with the technology they need to deliver plug-in hybrids that make sense.
We invite innovators everywhere who share this vision to join us.

THE TOPKAPI PALACE MUSEUM

TOPKAPI SARAYI Topkapi Palace was home to all the Ottoman sultans until the reign of Abdulmecid I (1839-1860), a period of nearly four centuries. The order for the construction of the Topkapi Palace on the Seraglio Point overlooking both Marmara and Bosphorus was given by Mehmed II after the conquest of Constantinapolis in 1453. The place was then an ancient olive grove. The final form of the first palace covered an area 700m², and was enclosed with fortified walls 1400 meters in length. The walls were pierced by a number of gates, namely the Otluk gate, the Demir gate and the Imperial gate (Bab-i Humayun), and a number of minor angled gates between them. After the reign of Mehmed II the Conqueror, the palace grew steadily to form a city like complex of buildings and annexes, including a shore palace known as the Topkapi shore palace, as it was situated near the cannon gate -Topkapi- of the ancient walls of Istanbul. When the shore palace was burned down in 1863, it lent its name to ...

THE BOSPHORUS

THE BOSPHORUS The Bosphorus is approximately 30 km long, and at its narrowest point the Anadolu and Rumeli fortresses face each other across it. Here the width of the strait is about 800 meters. On the surface, the Bosphorus flows like a river from the Black Sea to the Marmara. This current gets much stronger and becomes truly dangerous around the fortresses. Below the surface current, there is another current flowing in the opposite direction. These currents have always constituted a threat for the ships crossing the strait. The Bosphorus is like a narrow valley and it has an average depth of 50 and a maximum depth of 110 meters. Because of the currents and the different temperatures on various levels, the Bosphorus is a paradise for fish. The fish migrate between the Black Sea and the Marmara according to the season. These fish, peculiar to these waters, are caught during the migration seasons. Nowhere else can one find such fine-tasting fish. Until recent times, the settlements alon...
