1.0 Engines Can Save Fuel, But This Is Not The Only Point To Consider

The purchase of used cars is generally made by people whose main goal is savings. To optimize this economy, it is common to look for cars with 1.0 three-cylinder or turbocharged engines, which are more efficient. But fuel consumption is not the only point that should be analyzed, as many of these vehicles are more expensive to repair in workshops.

To help you choose used cars that do not have a high repair cost, we will present the five models revealed by Autoesporte that can be more difficult to repair, according to data from the Vehicle Maintenance Index (IMV) of Cesvi Brazil.

How Does The Cost Classification For Car Repairs Work?

The Cesvi index is based on the maintenance cost disclosed by the manufacturer and the parts that need to be replaced within the first 100,000 km. After that, the car receives a score that ranges from 10 to 60 points. The lower the IMV score, the lower the cost for the repair.

The 5 Most Expensive And Difficult Used Cars To Repair

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Australia prepares to dredge 96.5 million m³ in Moreton Bay to deepen, widen, and realign channels of the Port of Brisbane, in a project of up to 25 years designed to accommodate larger ships and enhance maritime safety and regional port efficiency.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

The Union will invest R$ 3.6 billion to revive the Malha Oeste, a 1,625 km abandoned railway that connects Corumbá to São Paulo, in a concession project recently approved by ANTT that promises to reconnect the Midwest to the Port of Santos and the borders with Bolivia and Paraguay.

Scientists have discovered that the Earth recycles its own continents in the depths, dragging pieces of crust down during plate collisions and returning them later as magma, in a mechanism called relamination that has helped build the continents for billions of years.

New mathematical model indicates global population decline by 2064 in an extreme scenario of environmental crises, with humanity potentially halving if Earth’s sustainable capacity is reduced to 2 billion people.

Research led by the University of Zurich followed 12 crew members for ten months at the Concordia Station in Antarctica, where winter temperatures can drop to minus 80°C, and identified conflicts, distrust, perceived performance decline, and the formation of subgroups in an extreme environment.

A ton of old cell phones can contain up to 800 times more gold than a ton of ore extracted from a mine, according to the UN, and it is this hidden wealth in drawers that drives so-called urban mining, which can even be turned into Olympic medals.
