Schockierende Ergebnisse beim aktuellen ADAC Werkstatt-Test: 78 Prozent der getesteten freien Werkstätten sind glatt durchgefallen - 28 von 36 untersuchten Betrieben haben die Bewertung „mangelhaft“ erhalten. Bei den Werkstatt-Ketten (A.T.U, Bosch, Meisterhaft und 1a Autoservice) sieht das Bild nur unwesentlich besser aus – hier fielen 17 von 36 Betrieben durch (47 Prozent). Des Weiteren zeigt der Test deutlich, dass die Freien bei der Inspektion nicht günstiger sind als die Ketten. Insgesamt enttäuschend bei dieser Stichprobe des ADAC: Von allen getesteten 72 Betrieben (Freie und Werkstatt-Ketten) erhielten gerade einmal sechs die Wertung „sehr gut“ (8 Prozent). Testgewinner bei den Ketten ist ein A.T.U-Betrieb in Hamburg (Heidhorst 3). Positiv: Keine einzige A.T.U-Werkstatt erhielt die Note mangelhaft. Den Testern des ADAC fiel bei A.T.U zudem auf, dass bei der Inspektionsannahme offen und realistisch über die voraussichtlichen Kosten gesprochen wird. Sechs der neun getesteten A.T.U-Service-Unternehmen fanden alle vom ADAC vorbereiteten Mängel. Bei den Bosch-Werkstätten fielen drei Betriebe durch, bei „1a“ sechs und bei Meisterhaft acht. Von allen freien Werkstätten hat Riegelhof Karosseriebau in Frankfurt/Main am besten abgeschnitten.Der Club hat die Werkstätten mit Fahrzeugen der Modelle Audi A3, Renault Megane und VW Golf 5 getestet. Vor der Prüfung wurden die Autos mit Mängeln präpariert: Ein verstelltes Scheinwerferlicht, eine defekte Kofferraumleuchte, ein ausgehängtes ABS-Kabel, ein zu niedriger Kühlmittelstand sowie ein Ersatzrad mit zu wenig Reifendruck, fehlendes oder abgelaufenes Pannenset. Die Arbeitsleistung wurde mit höchstens 60 Punkten, der Service mit maximal 40 Punkten bewertet. Punktabzug gab es, wenn wesentliche Serviceleistungen fehlten oder Zusatzarbeiten ohne vorherigen Auftrag ausgeführt wurden. Fazit des ADAC: Auch im Werkstatt-Test 2013 arbeiteten viele Betriebe die Inspektionsliste nicht sorgfältig ab, da nicht alle versteckten Fehler gefunden wurden. Nachholbedarf gibt es auch beim Kundenservice. Deshalb rät der Club den Verbrauchern, den Wagen zusammen mit dem Serviceberater anzuschauen und den Wartungsauftrag schriftlich zu erteilen. So werden Missverständnisse weitgehend ausgeschlossen.

The main benefits of this revolutionary filling system are high output & low manning, relatively short investment payback time and health/environment & safety advantages. The system also opens up possibilities to centralize filling operations with integrated system suppliers through cooperation which ensures smooth start-up and simpler support.
The two companies, Erkomat Oy and Thrace Polybulk, have in close cooperation become the leading global supplier of fully automatic filling systems for FIBCs (also called big-bags or bulk bags).

Top Hybrids and Electric Cars Must Buy 2016 [ Buying Guide ]
Top Recommended Hybrids and Electric Cars
List Car you need to buy:
====== 2016 Tesla Model S ========
We owned a 2013 Tesla Model S for 18 months and despite numerous dealer visits and maintenance issues, we were ultimately sad to see it go. It's quick, comfortable, quiet, spacious, and can tote as much cargo as some crossover SUVs. The "85" version can go 265 miles on a charge, so range anxiety is a nonissue. We even drove ours from L.A. to New York in less than three days using Tesla's free Supercharger quick-charge network. We definitely have gripes, including some underwhelming interior trim pieces and a lack of small item storage. There's also the below-average reliability, although our dealer experiences were exceptional. So even though it's not perfect, the Model S remains our favorite electric car.
============2016 Kia Soul EV============
Kia's first real foray into the electric vehicle world is a success. In fact, the funky Soul is arguably more appealing when it swaps out its internal combustion engine for an electric motor. In our testing, the Soul EV went farther on a charge than its similarly sized and priced competitors, and then recharged quickly thereafter. It also doesn't suffer a reduction in cargo space versus the non-EV Soul, meaning it provides the utility of a small SUV rather than that of a small hatchback like its rivals. A long warranty and generous features are other benefits.
===============2015 BMW i3=============
BMW's i3 is a remarkable vehicle. Its main structure is made of light yet strong carbon fiber instead of the usual steel or aluminum. This helps reduce the i3's weight, which pays dividends for both electric range and performance. With its electric motor in back and the battery under the floor, the i3 boasts sporty acceleration and handling.
======= 2015 BMW i8 ===========
You want your plug-in hybrid to be a head-turning sports car? Look no further than the BMW i8, the two-door supercar for the environmentally conscious. Like the more attainable BMW i3, the i8 is built around a carbon-fiber passenger cell. But in the i8 an electric motor drives the front wheels and a turbocharged three-cylinder gasoline engine pushes from behind.
===== Luxury Hybrid 2016 Porsche Panamera E-Hybrid =====
Porsche's flagship sedan is the Panamera, a low-slung four-door with a hatchback trunk. The 2016 Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid is the plug-in hybrid version, and it offers 16 miles of pure electric driving before the supercharged 3.0-liter gasoline V6 engine takes over. Acceleration, handling and braking are pure Porsche, which is something of a trick for a car this large. It's perfect for those shoppers
======= Hybrid SUV 2016 Toyota Highlander Hybrid =========
No other automaker bothers to offer a hybrid version of its three-row SUV. But Toyota's Highlander Hybrid doesn't earn a spot in our Buying Guide purely by default. It continues to show just how well the hybrid formula can be applied to a big, family-friendly crossover SUV. The hybrid version earns a 28 mpg combined estimate, or 7-8 mpg better than the V6-powered Highlander. In addition to that, the Highlander Hybrid offers solid build quality, respectable acceleration, a sophisticated and quiet ride quality and plenty of standard and available features.
====== 2016 Toyota Camry Hybrid 2016 Toyota Prius =====
Substantial changes last year vaulted the Toyota Camry Hybrid onto our top-recommended list. Although it doesn't quite match the fuel economy of some competitors, the real-world cost of that difference is negligible. Plus, dismissing the Camry simply because of an mpg or two would mean missing out on an otherwise compelling sedan. Comfort remains a Camry priority, but this latest Camry Hybrid also handles pretty well.
====== Hybrid Cars 2016 Ford Fusion Hybrid / Energi =====
The 2016 Ford Fusion Hybrid is a great choice for car shoppers who are new to hybrids. It's quiet, comfortable and feels very much like a normal family sedan, while delivering the fuel economy you expect from a hybrid. It's also a Ford Fusion, which means you also get impressive refinement, good road manners and plenty of standard and available high-tech features.
======= 2016 Volkswagen e-Golf =====
Among entry-level EVs, the Volkswagen e-Golf is our favorite. It handles well, has a handsome interior, delivers class-competitive range and has the optimal equipment for quick battery recharging. What's even better, cargo space is unchanged from the non-EV Golf because the batteries are located under the floor.
