Numbers of German locomotives

I did a post about this once, but it turns out that was back in 2010, on a whole other site (DeviantArt), so I figured it was time to revisit the topic because a lot of rail fans seem confused by it.

So, what do you call a German locomotive?

(whatever you want, it can't hear you)

Let's start simply and work our way up, with lots of tangents.

Since 1924, with numerous but insignificant exceptions, all German locomotives have a designator that consists of two numbers and sometimes a few letters.

The first number is the class of the locomotive, and it's traditionally two or three digits. The second number is the individual running number of a given unit, usually three, sometimes four digits. Both have leading zeroes, and they're separated by a space.

So: 01 001 is the first locomotive of class 01. 50 123 is the 123rd locomotive of class 50. 50 1234 is the 1234th locomotive of class 50. Numbering starts at one, there is no e.g. 482 000, that's a Swiss locomotive.

As Marx would say, "class" is a crucial aspect here, and its assignment is odd at times. In 1923, the railways of Germany, which used to be owned by the states, got merged into a federal government-owned railway which wanted to replace all the old locomotives with new designs, and invented its numbering system to emphasise these new locomotives. Old locomotives got assigned into classes based on their general principles.

Take, for example, Pacific-type steam locomotives. These are locomotives with three driven axles with big wheels, two axles in front, and one underneath the cab, and without getting into too much detail, they were the standard for express passenger trains throughout most of the world. The new standard types got four classes to themselves: 01 for the heavy type, 03 for the light type, and 02 and 04 as experimental four-cylinder versions that weren't bought in large numbers (let's ignore the three-cylinder versions for now).

(The picture is old, the locomotive is still there but it's been beautifully restored since.)

But as for the older Pacific types, they all got assigned the same class, class 18, and there they got sorted into different sub-classes.

That meant e.g. 18 101 was not the first class 18 locomotive, but the first of sub-class 18.1, aka type "C" of the Württemberg railways. This sub-class is sometimes also written 18¹ by typography nerds. German Wikipedia switches between the two at random, but the dot notation is far more common. Note that you can't really reverse-engineer the subclass from the locomotive number: 18 501 is not the first locomotive of class 18.5, but the 101st of class 18.4-5, the Bavarian type S 3/6. Oh, and if you see an 18 201 today, that's actually not the same 18.2 as back in the day, that's a whole other story…

(These days, for newer types the sub-classes don't even necessarily match the numbers: 185 001 and 185 101 are both members of class 185.1, and 185 500 is… who the hell knows.)

The classes were sorted into bands of twenty classes each:

01-19 were express locomotives, 20-39 regular passenger locomotives, 40-59 were freight locomotives, 60-79 passenger tender locomotives and 80-98 were switchers and freight tender locomotives, with 99 reserved for all narrow-gauge locomotives, which hence got classes like 99.23-24. The divisions within these groups were kind of arbitrary, except that the higher numbers were used by old locomotives, while the newer ones got the lower class numbers.

The basics of that system are actually still around, if you squint. But that was steam locomotives only. The system also had provisions for the other types of locomotives that were appearing at the time.

Electric locomotives got an E and then a class number that seems to be chosen to roughly fall within the appropriate steam equivalent band, but never really quite perfectly. Class E 18 is a high-speed electric locomotive, class E 93 is a mountain freight workhorse. Weirdly no class E 01. But note that the letter is important, E 18 001 and 18 001 are two different locomotives.

Diesel locomotives got a V (Verbrennung, combustion) followed by the power output in tens of horsepower. They only really took off after the war, but V 60 has 600 horsepower, V 100 has 1000 horsepower, V 200 has 2000, you get the drill.

EMUs and DMUs got an additional T, for "Triebwagen" (powered rail car, which is the general term for EMUs, DMUs, rail buses and so on), giving us ET and VT. High-speed DMUs got an additional S, for "Schnell" (fast), producing SVT. There was also ETA, for EMU with a battery (Akku) - yes, that's a technology that's been used successfully since 1903, don't let anyone tell you this is a recent innovation. The dedicated trailer cars got B (Beiwagen, additional car) for EB and VB, or S (Steuerwagen, control car) if they had controls to produce ES and VS. The class numbers there… honestly I have no idea. Every single DMU got assigned class 137, some VT 137, some SVT 137, it was weird.

This talk of prefix letters is a good opportunity to mention the "BR" you sometimes see, as in "BR 01". That is just an abbreviation for Baureihe, which is just German for "class" (in this context). E.g. the British used the term "class" exactly like the germans use "Baureihe", so I (and English Wikipedia) just use the term "class" when writing in English. However, the "BR" prefix appeared in particular in model railroad catalogues, so a lot of folks think the correct term is "BR 18". Nah, you can leave it off.

If you do leave it on, then only use it for the class. BR 18 201 makes no sense, it isn't a whole class, just a single locomotive. Also, for some reason nobody likes to mix BR and prefix letters. BR E 10 just looks weird. Especially in English, BR could also be confused with "British Rail", so my vote is to just not use it.

After the war, the system continued in both sides of Germany with some refinements, until 1968 (west)/1970 (east), when new computer-compatible numbers were introduced. This gave us a lot of changes, in not quite compatible ways.

In West Germany, the prefix letters got replaced by uniform three-digit class numbers. The first digit indicated the type of vehicle:

0 - Steam locomotive

1 - Electric

2 - Diesel

3 - Small diesel (not all shunters, but a special category where you didn't need to train the engineers as much)

4 - EMUs

5 - Battery-powered EMUs

6 - DMUs

7 - service vehicles, and also some light DMUs

8 - trailers for EMUs (including battery-powered)

9 - trailers for DMUs.

Running numbers were also capped at three digits, which caused issues with the class 050, so the excess got assigned into class 051 and 052 - not to be confused with the old class 52, which was already all scrapped by then.

The east system was weirder: It also dropped the prefix letters, and it gave the 100s to diesel locomotives, 200 to the electrics, and the rest… to steam. All steam locomotives got four-digit running numbers, and the few in the 10s and 20s got new class numbers in the aughts and 30s. This mostly matters because many narrow-gauge steam locomotives carry these numbers to this day.

In both cases, the number also got a check digit, attached with a dash, e.g. 99 7238-1 or 111 111-1. You can use Luhn's algorithm on the resulting number to check whether you entered it correctly, the same as with credit cards. Is the -1 part of the locomotive number? Honestly, your choice, sometimes I include it, sometimes not.

Note that I said the prefix letters were gone. Well, sort of. They're not written on the trains anymore, but a lot of people still like them, so even official publications will sometimes, but never consistently, write things like E 101 or VT 642 about trains built decades after the number switch. It's not wrong, it's not extra correct, it's a matter of preference.

…except when it's not, because you will find a number of modern locomotives that have E something written on them, like E 186 041 above. This is a legal requirement for Italy, it just happens to match the old German system by accident. Due to the way the rail market works, this is also found on locomotives that are not registered in Germany, can't run in Germany, and can't run in Italy either, such as these dutch locomotives that got assigned class E 186 in utter defiance of all dutch locomotive numbering standards. Don't worry about it, the dutch have already sold them. Or do worry and make it your whole personality, that's what I did.

Within the new class ranges, though, the assignments still matched the old logic, just with some refinements and changes:

100-110 are high-speed locomotives now, except for class 109 which didn't quite fit into the 110 range for historical reasons.

110-120 are normal passenger locomotives.

120-129 are universal service locomotives, equally at home with high speed passenger trains and heavy freight. Due to the weirdness of development, all modern new electrics fit in here and none have that number, leaving the original class 120 the only member here.

130 was mostly not used except as forward overflow from the 140s.

140s were normal freight locomotives, 150 were heavy freight locomotives. 160 hasn't been used yet. The higher numbers were given to locomotives were something weird was going on electrically: 180s can run under multiple systems. Since all modern electrics can do that, they opened the 190s range to them, too. The lone 171 can only run under 25 kV electrification that is popular world-wide, but only used in one specific place in Germany.

EMUs follow a similar thing: 400s are the high-speed ICEs. 410s are the less high speed but still pretty fast ICEs. 420s are… oh god, here it starts to get weird. The 420s are S-Bahn, except when they're not, also reaching into the 430s, and also the Stadler FLIRT, with some overlap. 440s are regional and S-Bahn as well. 445 is double-deck, except when it's not. 460 is Siemens, apparently. 470, 480 and 490 are DC S-Bahn trains for Berlin and Hamburg. Why do Stadler FLIRT trains get different class numbers depending on how long they are but nobody else's? It's a mess, nobody knows.

DMUs are the same, which is to say a mess, with some pattern: 600s are high-speed DMUs (only one, for some reason the class 605), 610s are express tilting DMUs, 620 and 630 are generic regional DMUs, 640s and 50s are the light-weight modern DMUs of the late 1990s and early 2000s, 670 is the weirdest thing you've ever seen, stuff like that.

But hey, at least it's not diesel locomotives. Diesel locomotives originally kept the idea that the class number roughly corresponds to horsepower, but with different approaches to shortening them. In the east, the horsepower got divided by 100 now, so class 106 has 600 horsepower. As does class 105, which is just more of class 106 since class 107, with 750 horsepower, was already taken. In the west, the numbers were truncated to two digits: Class 280 has 800 horsepower, class 210 has 1000 horsepower, class 220 has 2000 horsepower.

But then in modern times it got weirder and less consistent. Class 223 has about 2000 kilowatts of power and got assigned based on that (220, 221 and 222 were already taken by locomotives in the 2000 horsepower range, i.e. considerably weaker).

Class 285 has neither 850 HP nor 850 kW, it is instead the diesel version of the electric class 185. The class 185 is of course the dual-system version of the class 145. The passenger version of the class 145 is class 146, and so class 246 is the diesel version of that, or in other words, class 285 and 246 are basically the same. Their successor was class 245. Class 266 is the German version of the British class 66, assigned in a whole different system, except for when it's called 247 based on… literally no clue.

For multiple unit trains, every part gets its own number, including in articulated units. The end (somewhat arbitrarily assigned) gets the number of the start plus 500. For example, a class 644 DMU consists of three articulated parts the, outer two of which have motors. The numbers will be 644 003, 944 003 and 644 503. For class 643.2, which has only two parts, it's the same with the plus 500: 643 212 is one half, 643 712 is the other. Even if the outsides are unpowered, the system still applies: 946 002 is coupled to 646 002 is coupled to 946 502. In general you call the whole thing by the lowest number, i.e. 644 003, 643 212, 646 002. Mixed sets are very rare (these days, people used to mix and match parts from 614, 624 and 634 sets all over the place back in the day) and will usually have both numbers on the front so rail workers will know this is a weird one. I don't have a picture of that, sorry.

Anyway, that was the system. But in 2007, we got another big change: The NVR numbers. NVR stands for national vehicle register. Under EU regulations, all EU members and several non-members with closely connected railroads established national vehicle registers for all trains on their networks, and gave them an EU wide unique number. The numbering system derives from that already in use for train cars, and results in twelve-digit numbers like

94 80 0 474 608-7 D-DB

(Don't click that link, that's just to signify that the letter is usually underlined.)

The first two digits indicate the type of vehicle: 90 means special case, including dual mode, hybrid and steam, 91 is electric locomotives, 92 is diesel locomotives, 93 is high speed EMUs, 94 is normal EMUs, 95 is DMUs, 96 is trailers (not used in Germany), 97 is electric shunters (also electric locomotives with a top speed less than 100 km/h), 98 is diesel shunters (same deal) and 99 is service vehicles. The ones less than 90 are freight and passenger cars.

The next two digits, here 80, indicate the country according to the UIC country code; 80 is Germany. The next seven digits, 0474 608 are free to assign however a country wants to, and then there's a check digit. And finally the country again, alphabetically, and then a 1-5 letter code indicating the owner. That last part is officially known as the Vehicle Keeper's Mark, or VKM.

This is unwieldy and annoying, but it was an opportunity to reimagine the numbering system and make it more logical. Or to screw it up completely. Guess which one the German federal railway administration took?

Yeah, it's a mess. First things first: The whole thing is only written on the sides somewhere. The front of the trains still have the old short number (except in Romania, ask them why).

We now have seven digits for the locomotive number when before we only had six. How to fill that final digit? There are two options: Be clever, and assign it so the check digit of the full thing and the old six digit number (on the front) is the same, or don't be clever and just put a zero there and remove the check digit on the front.

Germany did both. Locomotives got the clever version, multiple units got the simple one. So 101 056-0 got the NVR number 94 80 6 101 056-0 D-DB (for electric locomotives the fill digit always ends up being 6 due to how the algorithm works), while 628 424 got 95 80 0 628 424-3 D-DB. Why? Because fuck you, that's why.

But then they realised that they could do stuff with that extra digit, and they used that to indicate sub-series. 442 203 is an EMU of class 442.2 (Bombardier/Alstom/CAF Talent 2, four parts) used in the state of Rheinland-Pfalz. 1442 203 is also an EMU of class 442.2, same overall layout, but used on the S-Bahn Halle/Leipzig network. 2442 203 is the same type of train, but used in the alpine part of southern Bavaria. 3442 203… you get the idea. I'm not sure what the system is for assigning these prefix numbers. I'm not sure anyone knows. I'm not sure if I should count them as part of the class or not, as you can see I didn't just now but it's not like I'm certain about that.

The NVR system also assigns numbers to locomotives that never had federal railway numbers before, and they got four-digit numbers that were basically all over the place. There's a class 0588. There's a 4120 which is a diesel locomotive.

And because that picture sucks and the only other one I have of a similar locomotive has a Luxembourg registration, let me also throw in the class 0650, also a diesel locomotive and not to be confused with the class 650 DMU.

Oh, and some locomotives, especially historical ones got assigned several classes. The steam locomotive type class 65.10 is both class 0065 and 6510 in the system. Meanwhile Siemens's very successful locomotive, the Vectron, is mostly class 193, which means 6193, but that ran out so the newest ones are now 7193s.

And sometimes you need to know the full NVR number anyway. There are two 0563 001s out there (or can be anyway).

94 80 0563 001-7 is a battery-electric version of the Siemens Mireo. This picture has 006 instead (in the front, Baden-Württemberg design with yellow). 90 80 0563 001-1 D-SDEHC (I think that reporting mark is temporary), in the back, with the Bavaria coat of arms instead has a hydrogen fuel cell. The numeric difference is only the second digit, where one is 94 (EMU) and one is 90 (weirdo).

I think that's it. The weirdness for newer trains sounds terrible, and is, in my opinion, but it's less of an issue in practice, since all of them have more or less memorable manufacturer's designations that get used instead. Nobody actually says "class 442.1", they say "Bombardier Talent 2" (or in that specific case also sometimes, "useless piece of shit", but that's a different story).

What you need to remember about this is:

Nothing

Well, I suppose "spaces between the numbers, don't use BR", but other than that I hope you had fun anyway.

Top 10 greatest inventions That Changed the World

Human beings are a nifty little species. Though we have been on earth for a comparatively short period of time (Earth is normally 4. five billion years old), contemporary Homo sapiens possess imagined up and created some amazing, far-out sometimes, things. From the brief moment somebody bashed a rock on the ground to make the first sharp-edged tool, to the very first of the wheel to the development of Roter planet (umgangssprachlich) rovers and the Internet, several key advancements stick out as revolutionary particularly. Here are our top picks for the most crucial inventions of all right time, along with the science at the rear of the invention and how they will come into being.

1- wheel

Prior to the invention of the wheel in 3500 M. C., humans were limited in just how much stuff we’re able to transport over land severely, and how much. Evidently, the wheel itself wasn’t the most challenging component of “inventing the steering wheel. ” In order to come period for connecting a non-moving system compared to that rolling cylinder, issues got difficult, relating to David Anthony, a teacher of anthropology at Hartwick College. “The stroke of brilliance was the wheel-and-axle idea, ” Anthony told Live Technology previously. “But then which makes it was also hard. ” For example, the holes at the guts from the tires as well as the ends of the set axle assemblies had to be almost perfectly circular and soft, he stated. How big is the axle was a crucial factor also, as was it is snugness inside the hole (of course not too small, however, not as well lose, either). The hard work paid, big time period. Wheeled carts facilitated commerce and agriculture by enabling the transportation of goods to and from marketplaces, and also easing the burdens of people touring great distances. Right now, wheels are essential to the lifestyle, present in from lighting to automobiles to generators.

2- The nail

Without nails, civilization would crumble. This important invention goes back a lot more than 2, 000 years to the Ancient Roman period, and became feasible just after human beings developed the capability to cast and form metal. Previously, hardwood structures needed to be built by interlocking adjacent boards a more arduous construction process geometrically. Before the 1790s and early 1800s, hand-wrought nails were typical, with a blacksmith heating a square iron rod and hammering it on four sides to make a point then, according to the College or the University of Vermont. Nail-making machines came between the 1790s and the early 1800s online. Technology for designing nails continued to progress; After Holly Bessemer created an activity to mass-produce metal from iron, the iron fingernails of yesteryear waned and by 1886, ten percent of U. S. fingernails were produced from soft steel wire, regarding the School of Vermont. By 1913, 90 percent of nails stated in the U. S. was a metal wire. In the meantime, the mess a more powerful but harder to- insert securer is considered to have been invented simply by the Greek college student Archimedes in the 3rd century B. C.

3- The compass

Old mariners navigated by the stars, but that technique did not work throughout the day or on cloudy evenings, therefore it had been unsafe to voyage far from land. The Chinese invented the first compass sometime between your 11th and 9th century; it was made of lodestone, a naturally-magnetized iron ore, the appealing properties which they had been learning for years and years. (Pictured is a style of a historical Chinese compass from the Ryan Dynasty; it really is a south-indicating ladle, or Sinan, manufactured from polished lodestone. ) Soon, the technology passed to Arabs and Europeans through nautical contact. The compass enabled mariners to navigate definitely not land safely, raising ocean trade and adding to age Development.

4- The printing press

The German Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press around 1440. Key to its advancement was the tactile hand’s mold, a fresh molding technique that allowed the quick creation of large levels of metallic movable type. Although others before him - including inventors in Cina and Korea - acquired developed portable type made from steel, Gutenberg was the first ever to create a mechanical procedure that transferred the ink (which he created from linseed essential oil and soot) from the removable type to paper. With this movable type process, printing presses increased the acceleration with which book copies could possibly be made exponentially, and thus they led to the widespread and rapid dissemination of knowledge for the very first time in history. Twenty million volumes have been printed in Western European countries by truck. Among other activities, the printing press allowed wider usage of the Somebody, which resulted in alternative interpretations, including those of Martin Luther, whose “95 Theses” a document imprinted by the hundred-thousand sparked the Protestant Reformation

5- The inner combustion engine

In these motors, the burning of gas releases a high-temperature gas, which, since it expands, applies a potent force to a piston, moving it all. Thus, combustion engines convert chemical substance energy into mechanized work. Years of architectural by many scientists proceeded to go into designing the inner combustion engine, which required its (essentially) modern type in these half from the 19th hundred years. The engine ushered in the Commercial Age group, as well as allowing the invention of an enormous variety of machines, including modern aircraft and cars. Pictured will be the operating steps of a four-stroke inner burning engine. The strokes are the following: 1) Intake stroke - air flow and vaporized gas are used. 2) Compression stroke - energy vapor and air flow are compressed and ignited. 3) Power heart stroke - gasoline combusts and the piston is pushed down, powering the device. 4) Exhaust system stroke – exhaust is certainly driven out.

6- The phone

Though several inventors do pioneering work on the electronic tone of voice transmission ( many of who later submitted intellectual real estate lawsuits when telephone make use of exploded), Alexander Graham Bell was the first to be awarded an obvious for the electric phone in 1876. His patent drawing above is pictured. Even though many creators did pioneering focus on digital voice transmission ( a lot of whom later on filed rational property legal cases when telephone use exploded), Alexander Graham Bell was the first ever to end up being awarded a patent pertaining to the electrical telephone in 1876. ( His patent drawing is usually above. ) He drew his motivation from teaching the deaf and appointments to his hearing-impaired mother also, according to PBS. He called the initial phone an “ electric speech machine, ” relating to PBS. The invention took off and revolutionized global communication and business. When Bell passed away upon Aug. two, 1922, regarding PBS, U. H. telephone assistance stopped for a full minute to honor him.

7- The lamp

When all you need is daylight, productivity is bound to hours of sunlight. Lights changed the global world by allowing us to be active at night. According to historians, two dozen individuals were a key component in inventing incandescent lights through the entire 1800s; Thomas Edison is definitely acknowledged as the principal inventor as they produced a totally functional light system, including wiring and generator in addition to the carbon-filament bulb like the one above, in 1879. And also starting the introduction of electrical power in homes throughout the burkha, this invention also had a fairly unexpected consequence of fixing people’s rest patterns. Rather than going to sleep in nightfall (having nothing at all otherwise to accomplish ) and sleeping in sections through the entire night separated by intervals of wakefulness, we have now stay up except for the 7 to 8 hours allotted meant for sleep, and, ideally, we rest all of them at once.

8- Penicillin

Is actually probably the most famous discovery tales ever sold. In 1928, the Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming observed a bacteria- packed Petri dish in his lab with its cover accidentally ajar. The test experienced become contaminated with a mold, and the mold was almost everywhere, the bacterias were lifeless. That antiseptic mold ended up being the infection Penicillium, and over another 2 decades, chemists purified it and created the drug Penicillin, which fights a wide array of microbial attacks in humans without harming the human beings themselves. Penicillin was being produced and advertised by 1944 mass. This poster mounted on a curbside mailbox advised World Battle II servicemen to consider the medication to rid themselves of venereal disease. About 1 in 10 folks have an allergic attack towards the antibiotic, according to the study published in 2003 in the journal Clinical Critiques in Immunology and Allergy; even so, most of those social people go on to be able to tolerate the drug, experts said.

9- Contraceptives

Not really only have birth control pills, condoms and other forms of contraceptive sparked a sexual trend in the developed globe by enabling women and men to have sexual intercourse designed for leisure instead of procreation, they will also have significantly reduced the common quantity of offspring per woman in countries exactly where they are utilized. With fewer mouths to feed, modern families have achieved higher standards of living and can offer better for every young child. On the other hand, around the global level, contraceptives are helping the human population level off gradually; our amount will stabilize by the finish of the century probably. Certain preventive medicines, such as for example condoms, curb the pass on of sexually transmitted illnesses also. Herbal and organic contraception offers been used for millennia. Condoms arrived to use in the eighteenth century, as the earliest oral contraceptive “the tablet ” was developed in the past due 1930s by a chemist called Russell Marker. Researchers are ongoing to create developments in the contraceptive, with some labs even pursuing a male form of “the pill. ” A permanent birth-control implant called Essure was approved by the Drug and Food Administration in 2002, though in 2016, the implant was warned by the FDA would need more powerful warnings to tell users about serious risks of using Essure.

10- The internet

It certainly desires no introduction: The global program of connected with each other computer systems referred to as the web is used simply by billions of individuals worldwide. Countless people helped develop this, however, the person most credited using its invention is the computer scientist Lawrence Roberts often. In the 1960s, a united team of pc scientists doing work for the U. Ersus. Protection Department’s ARPA (Advanced STUDIES Agency) built a communications network to connect the computer systems in the company, called ARPANET. It used a way of data tranny known as “packet switching” which usually Roberts, a known member of the team, developed predicated on the prior function of additional computer researchers. ARPANET was your predecessor of the web.

Comprehensive Nissan NP200 Review

After the rise in popularity of the Nissan 1400 champ, which was in production for 37-years, the Nissan NP200 clearly had large shoes to fill. The streets were crowded with these bakkies in the 1980s and 1990s, and they quickly became a firm favourite among South Africans. This is because the NP200 is affordable, light on fuel and practical in use.

But shortly after this trendy bakkie peaked, the model was discontinued because these bakkies could no longer fulfil local emissions requirements that came into effect in January 2008.

Fast forward to 2019, and you’ll see the upgraded NP200 half-ton bakkie– the best small bakkie in South Africa. This roaring light commercial vehicle (LCV) is spacious, yet compact, and ideal for business or leisure activities. It is equipped with an ultra-modern interior to offer drivers a luxurious feel when you’re roughing it out in the dunes. Each year, the NP200 road test impresses and Nissan continues to provide customers with an affordable, workhorse.

According to Janine Van der Post from Wheels24, “it’s great as an everyday workhorse and definitely plays the part of a lifestyle bakkie when you need it. It’s zippy enough to race about to and from and steady enough to handle heavy loads for agricultural and commercial duties.”

This pretty much sums up the Nissan NP200 experience. But if you haven’t read enough to seal the deal on buying your first car, read on for an extensive Nissan NP200 review. The only decision you’ll have to make is the right engine to go with…

Any Nissan supporter knows how much goes into delivering a vehicle that truly exceeds customer expectations in every way possible. Customers want (and expect) their bakkie of choice to add value to their life regardless of their activity. And this is exactly where the all-new Nissan NP200 comes into play. This model has been perfectly engineered to offer customers a durable, cost-effective vehicle with a low Nissan NP200 fuel consumption. And confidently, the NP200 can offer this – without compromising on space or style.

Here’s why the Nissan NP200 is the best bakkie in South Africa

Almost everyone who looks at the Nissan NP200 needs to double-take. This impressive range has heads turning and tongues wagging because it’s too good to be true. It is compact in size, yet spacious enough for a comfy ride. The new and improved design is tough, sleek and stylish. And it’s designed to fit into any lifestyle – be it for work purposes, outdoor adventures or even your choice of vehicle for your daily commute.

The top light commercial vehicles (LCVs) in South Africa, as stated by the Ipsos Vehicle Quality Awards include the Nissan NP200: “The Ipsos Vehicle Quality Survey study calculates a quality score based on customer’s feedback at about three months after they’ve purchased the vehicle. Scores reflect proportions of problems and issues reported by these customers and so the lower the score the better the quality.”

The Nissan NP200 also won GOLD In the LCV segment as the best sub-one-ton pickup bakkie. And if we look at the full LCV rankings, the Nissan NP200 is in fifth place

The Nissan NP200 is spacious

The reason why this utility bakkie is such a solid vehicle choice for younger and older generations alike is that its running, repair and maintenance costs are affordable. This combined with its fuel-efficiency… it’s a no-brainer as to which vehicle you should be buying. If, of course, you are looking for an on-and-off-road vehicle.

Nissan South Africa summarised it perfectly in their NP200 review: “High-quality aesthetics provide the luxury and styling of a passenger vehicle, without compromising on the practicality and versatility that’s consistent with a bakkie.”

In this Nissan NP200 review, it’s important to note that the standard NP200 does not come fitted with the latest accessories or trims. But it certainly comes with nice-to-have features that will add comfort and convenience to your driving experience. Now, you can head out onto the open road in a spacious environment that offers plenty of storage. 300-litres to be exact. Pack your goodies behind the seat, at the back or around you because there is more than enough space. You can also enjoy features such as a glove box, door bins, drink holders and more to accommodate you on your road trip.

The Nissan NP200 looks good inside and out

As mentioned, the Nissan NP200 has plenty of leg and storage space to offer drivers. You can pack your goods comfortably without having to compromise on items because of your fear of too little strange space.

And to add to that here is further peace of mind. There is a Nissan NP200 best in class warranty of 3-years or 60 000 km, as well as a 5-year or 90 000km service plan. As an NP200 owner, you’ll be covered.

According to a Topcar review: “The NP200 – the ‘N’ stands for Nissan, the ‘P’ for pick-up and the 200 bit is apparently an internal Nissan designation – enjoys massive cabin space by half-ton class standards. As indicated by the addition of quarter windows behind the doors, there’s real-world stowage space behind the seats, and enough adjustment to accommodate large men (or women) up to around 1.9 metres in height.”

With an attitude to match its sporty and stylish exterior, an accessorised NP200 could kit your vehicle out with features such as a stainless-steel nudge bar, custom-designed alloy wheels with 15-inch rims, roof rains and more. In addition, you could spruce up your vehicle with some branding decals, carpets, and seats.

It offers a large payload

Janine Van der Post from Wheels 24 says “The NP200 has sharper lines, a new grille that makes it fit in line with other Nissan siblings. It’s fitted with a bull-bar at the front and a sports bar at the rear. Bumpers are black plastic and help the bakkie achieve a more rugged look. It also sports spotlights and cool decals. It looks just as good on the inside.”

As far as the interior of the NP200 goes, you can expect standard features such as power steering, air conditioning, power windows, central locking, and a multimedia system. Should you wish to accessorise with new trims and Nissan approved accessories, you can opt for leather upholstery and much more.

The Group Nissan review team had the following to say about the NP200 interior features: “The Nissan NP200 is both modern and rugged in its styling, echoing its dual-purpose promise as passenger commuter and willing workhorse. Use it for one or the other or use it for both, you choose. Once inside, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the spaciousness of the cabin. In fact, it’s the biggest in its class, boasting ample storage space behind the seats as well as other storage areas including drink holders, a glove box and door bins to keep your valuables safe. Though it’s built to be functional, Nissan hasn’t skimped on aesthetics. From the instrumentation to the seating trim, the Nissan NP200 offers a sporty interior with quality finishes that allow you to enjoy a comfortable drive.”

The NP200 provides next-level safetyIt offers anti-lock braking

One of the many perks of the Nissan NP200 is the payload. Offering an 800kg payload, as well as the ability to connect a tailgate of up to 300kgs, it’s not often that you see a smaller utility bakkie design transport such a heavy load. The payload’s volume and length are two factors that make this bakkie the most feasible purchase.

To add extra safety to your NP200’s, you can add a cab protector roll bar to the back of your bakkie. This is particularly helpful when you want to transport objects that need to be tied down on specific points.

Another Nissan NP200 review says “safety features of this new workhorse include ABS and EBD, which prevents wheels from locking, airbags, crumple zones from the previous NP200 which are engineered around impact resistance while the engine compartment is designed to stack up in frontal impact collisions and seatbelts.”

A popular NP200 safety pack option is the anti-lock braking system (ABS). This feature assists you in normal and emergency braking situations, as it helps to prevent wheel lockup from happening. Now, you can travel safely, knowing that if you find yourself in an emergency, the breaks will pump early to slow you down.

Engine immobiliser Many customers will appreciate the engine immobiliser feature. Nissan has incorporated an anti-theft system into their Nissan NP200, with a chip that is embedded into the key. This feature ensures that you have a unique starting trigger that lets the vehicle know that it’s “you” when you start it.

The Nissan NP200 has the power to perform

The NP200 offers customers three different engine choices to choose from. These include an 8-valve petrol engine, 16-valve petrol engine or the standard-setting K9K turbo diesel. Regardless of whether you choose a petrol or a diesel vehicle to suit your driving needs, each option has the power to perform efficiently.

The Nissan NP200 range:

1.6 8V BASE

1.6 8V BASE A/C

1.6 8V BASE A/C + SAFETY PACK

1.6 16V MID DUAL AIRBAGS

1.6 16V HIGH

1.5DCI BASE A/C + SAFETY

1.5DCI HIGH

The NP200 provides a 5-speed manual transmission

The all-new Nissan NP200 offers power, control, and efficiency with short gear ratios to improve your drive. This impressive 5-speed manual transmission gives drivers the ability to accelerate at low speeds when fully loaded, and taller ratios in the top gears provide added fuel efficiency when you’re driving faster.

Suspension

Since this bakkie is designed to carry large loads, the suspension is set up to support it. It offers a leaf-sprung rear suspension with a coil spring supported H-shaped torsion bar at the back end. Together, these improve the ride quality when you’re driving or carrying a heavy load, in comparison to only the live-axle leaf spring.

According to Wheels24 and Pick a Car the Nissan NP200 has the best-in-class fuel economy

As said in a Nissan NP200 review by Wheels 24: “With a rated combined fuel consumption of only 5.3 litres/100km, you could go quite distance with this little Nissan soldier. And since there aren’t too many systems other than the air conditioner to consume more fuel, you’re guaranteed to get more than enough kilometres for your hard-earned Rand.”

As far as the NP200 road test goes, Pick a Car says, “We tested the NP 200 mostly in an urban scenario without much load and achieved a decent economy of 6.5 L/100km. In its advantage, the diesel NP 200 does quite well uphill, and manages to keep the economy down thanks to the extra torque produced by the diesel engine.”

It has Nissan genuine accessories

The range of accessories you can choose from is genuine and Nissan-approved. By utilising accessories from our range, you will be able to spruce up your ride and add a touch of personality to your vehicle.

Hyundai Creta range gets a flashy new flagship derivative

Hyundai’s Creta range, which has been a stalwart in the brand’s local model line-up, has grown with the addition of a flagship derivative with several attractive styling cues that sets it apart from its siblings.

Only 500 of the special Cretas - with a “Limited Edition” badge on the hatchback door to denote the newcomer’s exclusive status – will be sold in South Africa. The special treatment is available for all three Creta variants: the 1.6 Executive manual, the 1.6 Executive automatic, and the 1.6 Executive turbodiesel automatic.

Apart from the Limited Edition moniker, the following features will distinguish the new addition from the other derivatives:

A black roof – to create a two-tone exterior with the white body paint finish;

Exclusive two-tone 17″ alloy wheel rims;

A black and red interior, with red inserts on the dashboard and red stitching on the leather seats; and

An infotainment system with Apple Carplay and Android Auto connectivity. Customers can also buy an optional SD card at a price of R2 100 for an off-line navigation function if they do not want to use Google Maps, Waze or Apple’s Maps on Apple Carplay or Android Auto.

As with the other Creta derivatives, buyers of the Limited Edition also have the option of customising their compact Hyundai SUV further with the fitment of a black or chromed front nudge bar and black or chromed side skirts.

Since its launch in 2017 Hyundai Automotive South Africa has sold more than 11 600 Cretas and this model has constantly been at the top of its market segment. The Creta portrays a strong road presence and embodies the aggressive stance of an SUV in its own style. It slots in below its Tucson SUV sibling, both in terms of size and price.

Convenience features in the Creta include air vents for the rear passengers, a rear armrest with cup holders, cruise control and rear park assist sensors and camera that displays its image on the screen of the infotainment system. The multi-function steering wheel, with remote controls for the sound system and buttons for the trip computer and system information, is also covered in leather.

Static bending headlamps that improve side visibility when the vehicle turns in a curve on the road or at crossroads is not only a convenience, but also comes standard and improves safety for the driver at night.

The three engine/gearbox combinations in the Creta range that will be available as the Limited Edition are:

Creta 1.6 Executive Manual – 4-cylinder 1,6-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine with a 6-speed manual gearbox. The engine delivers maximum power of 90 kW at 6 300 r/min., with torque peaking at 150 Nm at 4 850 r/min. Fuel consumption was measured at 7,9 litres/100 km.

Creta 1.6 Executive Automatic – The same petrol engine as above but coupled with a 6-speed automatic gearbox. The fuel consumption measured for this derivative is 8,4 litres/100 km.

Creta 1.6 Executive Turbodiesel Automatic – This derivative uses a 1,6-litre turbocharged diesel engine, together with a 6-speed automatic gearbox. Maximum power delivery is 94 kW at 4 000 r/min., and its torque peak of 260 Nm is reached at 2 750 r/min. It has recorded a fuel consumption figure of 7,4 litres/100 km in a real-world, combine test cycle. The engine is equipped with a Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) that monitors the throttle and changes vane geometry accordingly, which in turn regulates turbo boost pressure for a smooth acceleration and maximum power at low engine speed.

The Creta’s exceptional ride quality and outstanding road holding are achieved by a McPherson strut front suspension with gas dampers. An optimized caster angle delivers a more stable, smoother high-speed travel. At the rear, revised geometries of the dampers used with the coupled torsion beam axle deliver an increased lever ratio that generates gentle understeer for better cornering performance.

The Creta can boast with class-leading noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) levels due to the use of enhanced sound absorption materials and advanced engineering design of the engine, transmission and body structural parts that ensures a quiet cabin. NVH levels have been also been well contained with the use of dash board insulators, anti-vibration pads, a sound-deadener coating on the floor, optimized engine mounts, tunnel area rigidity and the application of a dual sealing structure on doors.

The Creta is one of the toughest and strongest SUVs in its segment. It is designed with a strong “Hive structure” body shell that ensures high structural strength stability and sturdiness. The ring-shaped frames applied at B-Pillar, C-Pillar and engine bay brings a significant increase in body stiffness, which ensures precise handling while maintaining excellent ride quality.

Safety features in the Creta include dual front and side airbags for driver and passenger, and curtain airbags for protection of rear passengers as well. The Creta is also equipped with an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and Electronic Braking Distribution (EBD).

Pricing

The prices of the Creta Limited Edition range are:

Creta 1.6 Limited Edition (manual) R 372 900 Creta 1.6 Limited Edition (automatic) R 397 900 Creta 1.6 Limited Edition Turbodiesel (automatic) R 438 900

Included in the recommended retail price of the Creta is Hyundai’s 7-year/200 000 km manufacturers’ warranty, while roadside assistance for 5 years or 150 000 km and a 5-year/90 000 km service plan adds further value to the package. Service intervals are 15 000 km.

For the installation of cables of large diameter, the cables need to be uncoiled from the cable reels or spools. For this, the reels are to be put on the Reel Jacks which must have adequate base dimension so as to keep the reels stable on the resting surface. Sometimes, additional support may be required to anchor the jack stands to the resting surface. Moreover, the height of the reel stand should be high enough so that the cable reel does not drag on the ground. The installation process will be faster and easier if you use a reputed brand such as iTool Co.

SUBARU WRX 2017-2018

Speaking about Subaru, it is definitely the classic look of a sports car from our childhood. Subaru WRX is a 4-door sedan class “C”. The fourth-generation car made its debut at the Los Angeles auto show in 2013.

Interior and Exterior Design

Subaru has updated the WRX and WRX STi models. Exterior of the serial WRX is much less aggressive than in the pre-series version. Changes in the front of the car can be detected in a sportier bumper with large air intake holes and lighting equipment with LED technology. There are a few components that have been revised: steering, headlight lighting performance and the roof mounts. There was an upgrade made to the front and rear suspension to improve steering stability and riding comfort while maintaining high performance.

The new performance package for WRX premium is equipped with an 8-position electric drive for Recaro seats; red painted brake calipers and upgraded JURID brake pads. Standard 18-inch wheels have a new bold design of double spokes.

Concern Subaru often scolded for the rather boring and monotonous interiors of their cars. Apparently, the Japanese at last listened to criticism and equipped the Subaru WRX with a rather modern and attractive salon with high ergonomics and a decent level of comfort. A distinctive feature of the WRX interior is a sports instrument cluster with an LCD display and a separate multifunction display with information about different systems of the car which is in the visibility zone, but it is not distracting the driver while driving.

The trunk in a standard form is 460 liters of useful volume. The back is formed by two different sections on a level with the floor, allowing you to transport long-length items. There is a dock in the niche under the raised floor.

Engine

Under the hood of the Subaru WRX there is a horizontally opposed engine of a new generation with a turbocharged volume of 2.0 liters and power of 268 hp. The WRX gearbox has a 6-speed manual transmission which Subaru engineers have improved optimizing the gear ratios and the length of the lever. Due to the expansion of the dynamic range comparing with the previous 5-speed gearbox, driving at high speed makes the engine run at a lower speed which has a positive effect on the noise of the power unit and on the fuel consumption. Sport Lineartronic is offered as an alternative to manual transmission.

The front of the Subaru WRX is equipped with an independent suspension on the McPherson-type racks and behind the sports car is supported by an independent multi-link suspension. All wheels have disc brakes. The rack-and-pinion steering system is assisted by an adaptive electric control amplifier, which more accurately adjusts the force during sharp maneuvers.

Now a couple of words about the full drive. The novelty gets the familiar Symmetrical AWD, which has separate versions for each of the transmission:

In conjunction with the mechanic transmission there is a modification with an inter-axle differential equipped with viscous, thanks to which the thrust is distributed in a ratio of 50:50.

In the company with “variator” they offer a version with a planetary differential in which the thrust is distributed in the ratio of 45:55 in favor of the rear axle.

Fuel Economy

Having 2.0-liter engine the car is rated to do 21 mpg in the city and 27 on the highway while with 2.5-liter it is doing 17 mpg in the city and 22 on the highway.

Release Date and Price

The price of the car starts with $54 000. The updated car is on sale since the spring of 2017.

Conclusion

To sum up, we can definitely say that car is offering the ride comfort while maintaining high performance for a reasonable price. If you are looking for classic, time-tested sport car it is definitely a good choice.
