Volks XL1 Concept: Oil crisis response
Of course, at present all parties, whether as a car manufacturer from the region of the world. Different views of what is called the energy crisis. Especially on the issue of oil is decreasing continuously. Just look at the question about it. Each camp has different strategies or solutions to offer to compete for leadership. Technology and continues to be the leader in the market.
The electric car is a light that matches the destination tunnel several camps focus. While a hybrid car plug or PHEV cars, including a E-REV (Extended Range Electric Vehicle) concept, which has a similar solution is also able to slow oil consumption. And is regarded as a middle way that will help people around the world to build familiarity. Familiar with new technologies. Before the era of the Revolution powerhouse to drive the car really.
E-REV technology Chevrolet Volt is a pioneer in this concept that dream a reality. Many camps also give particular attention because of the adjustment capabilities of the Series Hybrid technology, particularly the increased sense of drive, which can increase the distance to travel more. Which transcend the limitations of traditional electric cars.
Of course, this technology is interesting. And Volkswagen is a manufacturer of auto accident cases that are going to develop this product. Market as well. The match is considered a change from the original intent, which they think the car will be developed. Most economical vehicles used to drive turbo-diesel.
Projects that are pursuing the concept of the car 1-Litre Car from the master in 2002 to become a reality, which in the year 2009, VW has revealed yield 2 in a L1 out they were Confirm that will be produced. Released XL1 Concept and certainly a product of three pieces of evidence is good for specifying the progress of the project, because this is a prototype that the layout is close to reality. And that's important. The concept of Power to drive the turbo-diesel has been changed from the E-REV technology instead.
XL1 Concept was unveiled at motor show Qatar At the end of January last. To confirm that VW's. Continue to carry on alternative energy cars out in the market certainly The thing that changes is clearly of the second generation model is the layout of the vehicles that are closer to actual market sales. Particularly the alignment of the existing seat to sit as they lined up. Bobsled sliding ice or even a second pair of seats and front passenger.
The end is distinctive and eye-catching. The design looks to be focused on streamlining the most. To reduce power consumption while driving. The vehicle is similar to the bullet with the air resistance coefficient, or Cd at the same time, VW's 0.186. Select the material is very lightweight CFRP carbon fiber used in the production of personal items in vehicle tank to make the lightest possible result is a weight of just 796 kg or 1753 pounds only.
In terms of drive technology. From the old folk. Believe that the development of automobile 1 Litre Car or 1 liter of fuel to drive 100 miles is an interesting solution. But age has changed. This idea has been adjusted to be consistent with what actually happened, and VW has decided to E-REV technology to replace the turbo-diesel engine
Responsible for driving the vehicle is electric motor E-Motor sizes 27 hp segment to generate electricity to keep the rechargeable lithium - ion as the engine 2 cylinder 800 cc 48 hp, which is updated from the turbo-diesel model. 4 cylinder 1600 cc currently in use. And a gear transmission with DSG 7 strokes and seen little. Do not just cynical about this performance. Because the car can ride from 0-100 km / h in 11.9 seconds, the tip speed is 160 km / hour
Principle does not work. Unlike a car on E-REV is the first start driving. The vehicle will rely on electricity in batteries for use in driving the delivery. XL1 Concept which, if fully charged, it will run for 35 miles before the turbo diesel engine alarm to wake up and come charging current to compensate. Chuck and lost. If they stop pumping oil out of filling.
Fuel tank of the car is 10 liters when calculated from the test of VW's and fuel a tank can take XL1 Concept sailed a distance is 341 miles or 548 kilometers, and even non-electric cars purebred but XL1 Concept there. emit low levels of emissions. The carbon dioxide emissions from just 24 grams per mile using only a custom.
Of course, the actual sales. And is expected to be in the year 2013 around the same price that it will be on a U.S. $ 27,000, or 810,000 baht only themselves. V is considered cheaper than several thousand dollars ever.
