The prototype electric Townpod Nissan, which premiered at the Paris Motor Show, combines an attractive design with a spacious interior. The aim of the car is to inaugurate a new era for vehicles and flexible class, opening to the public electric mobility. It will also present the 100% electric sedan Nissan Leaf, recently awarded the title of European Car of the Year 2011.

Another important vehicle that will be present on the Nissan stand in Bologna is the supercar Nissan GT-R version in 2011, sports icon of the brand. Presented for the first time at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2007, the GT-R has arrived in Europe in 2009 and following the Japanese Kaizen philosophy aims at continuous improvement.

Besides the new Nissan Micra will be the crossover range of the mark in full force. From the best seller and Nissan Qashqai Nissan Qashqai +2 Nissan together with Juke and the new Nissan Murano, now available diesel. Nissan X-Trail, Nissan Navara pick-up and the sporty Nissan 370Z Roadster complete exposure of the manufacturer at the Motor Show 2010.

The leopard can not change its spots: it is true that major Chinese carmakers are gradually aligning with delays and indecision in a thousand-to-Western policies of the manufacturers, no shortage of those who continue to do what for years Asian giant has been the normal copy, copy, copy. This is certainly the case Yogomo.

Behind this name hides a small-electric small car does not even need to emphasize the obvious-operation without too much shame mimics the lines of the trio Peugeot Citroën C1-107-Toyota Aygo.

Behind the project is the work of Wang Yogomo DeLuna, a former manager of Geely and Lifan you put it on his own in 2008, producing motor tricycles. This is the first electric quad for even young company. The car measures 303 cm long by 140 wide by 148 high. The wheelbase is 216 cm, the mass amounts to 450 kg and the maximum speed is 80 km / h for a range of 160 km.

An electric vehicle called Start. Perhaps it is really the beginning of a new era, if an electric car can have a range of 400 kilometers and can reach a speed of 270 km / h. To achieve this supercar, the American-style light, was the company Li-ion Motors, which specializes in the design and conversion of electric cars. This is a high-performance car that is offered at a price of $ 139,000, about 100,000 euro.

The American factory in North Carolina is not known in the Old World, but is preparing to make a leap of publicity after the news of his new electric sports car. With the realization of this electric car coupe, even the skeptics will change their minds about the quality of cars powered by batteries.

These tests, moreover, are clear: the Li-Ion has a top speed of over 270 km / h, with one click from 0-100 km / h in just over 3 seconds. What is amazing is the autonomy of the car, calculated at 400 km. The performance of this supercar stars and stripes is, of course it is, its engine. The ESA is capable of providing a power of 145 kW, equivalent to about 194 horses. The car is equipped with lithium batteries, which have a capacity of 40kW and can be replaced quickly.

This electric car will be born on an independent platform that was created by the American with a strange name but who wants to show that began a new era. The Home will be sold in the month of July and sold, as stated, to about 100,000 euro. The plan is to produce at least 150,000 units a year, competing with other rivals, primarily the Tesla Roadster.

The Mercedes E-Cell Electric SLS will be presented as a prototype, probably at the next Paris Motor Show. This is the electric version of the coupe SLS announced since the debut of SLS and equipped with 4 electric motors, one for each wheel. For a system of 12,000 rpm, the engines deliver a total of 526 hp and 880nm of torque, enough to touch 100 km / h acceleration in 4 seconds. The lithium polymer batteries, located in the central tunnel and the area behind the dashboard, providing a total of 480 KW and are controlled by a dedicated cooling system: according to previous advances, autonomy is expected to reach 180 km altitude.

Aesthetically, the SLS-E Cell is recognizable by the color Lumilectric Mango, the new front spoiler and new rear diffuser, while the inside is completely different center console, now transformed into a single vertical touch screen. Technically, she has a new front suspension layout: Due to the presence of electric motors in the system was Replaces double wishbone multi-link with a push-rod type shock absorbers.

Finally you have altenative from Toyota Prius, yes 2010 Toyota Auris HSD Full Hybrid still has prius DNA but this hybrid car will make you different.Specs : powered by 1.8-liter 4 cylinders, electric motor peak 60 kW with NiMH batteries

Battery with advanced lithium-ion technology

During the rapid filling with filling capacity of 20 kW, high performance, 18 kWh lithium-ion batteries from BlueZERO E-SEL PLUS can store enough power in about 30 minutes to 50 kilometers distance. Electric stove complete 100 kilometers of charging takes a little more than an hour. Charging time with standard cost cycle in a conventional household outlet with a 3.3 kW is approximately 6 hours. Special on-board electronics to support intelligent charging station and billing systems used by the fueling station electricity. Benefits of lithium-ion batteries compared with other technologies, including their compact dimensions, high output and energy density, high cost efficiency and long service life.

Concept BlueZERO – electric mobility triad

Mercedes-Benz is showing the way for electric mobility environment compatible with the concept BlueZERO series. Modular concept of intelligent vehicle architecture enables the vehicle to be used to create three models with different drive system configuration.

• The BlueZERO E-SEL PLUS is equipped with electric drive and an additional combustion engine with an electric generator (range extender). The car has a total coverage of up to 600 kilometers, which up to 100 miles can be closed only on electricity.

• Originally presented in Detroit at the beginning of the year, BlueZERO E CELL driven exclusively by battery-powered electric drive that allows a car to travel up to 200 miles on one battery charge and completely free local emissions.

• The third drive version is powered fuel cells BlueZERO F-CELL, a distance of about 400 km on electricity and therefore also no local emissions.

All three models feature BlueZERO front-wheel drive, which is typical for this class car. Drive components have been modularly organized by Mercedes engineers and can be combined as required. This includes state-of-the-art liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery with up to 35 kWh capacity, and a compact electric motor with a maximum output of 100 kW (continuous output: 70 kW). The maximum torque of 320 Nm is available from the first electric motor revolution, and it now exceeds the value achieved by a V6 gasoline engine at 2500 rpm. Like his two younger models, BlueZERO E-SEL and F-SEL BlueZERO, which BlueZERO E-SEL PLUS can accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in less than eleven seconds. To Ensure the optimum range and energy efficiency, the top speed is electronically limited to 150 km / h.

“The concept offers three demonstration BlueZERO technical maturity of alternative propulsion systems from Mercedes-Benz. Electric vehicle with battery electric drive system or fuel cell will not actually be on the same footing with the current internal combustion engine drive system until the customer is confident that there is adequate infrastructure, electricity and fueling stations hydrogen, “said Prof. Herbert Kohler, Head of E-Drive and the Future of Mobility and Chief Environmental Officer of Daimler.

Concept BlueZERO: Modular architecture for flexibility and efficiency

BlueZERO three variants were developed on the basis of a unique sandwich floor known architecture of the A-Class and B-Class. The advantage of the enhanced design is the key component in the drive mounted underbody of vehicles so that they take less space, make sure that both the center of gravity, and protected to the fullest. Therefore BlueZERO different models of electric cars designed in the conventional, heavy and thick storage battery mounted on the boot, for example, or in the back seat area. All three variants share BlueZERO key technology components are identical and have the design and dimensions of vehicles. Although they have a compact exterior dimensions, which is 4.22 meters long, has a broad BlueZERO model and versatile interior and cargo space. Vehicles’ five full size seats, about 450 kilograms payload, and more than 500 liters of cargo capacity makes them suitable family car.

“Our modular system license different configurations for each customer’s needs,” says Dr Thomas Weber, Member of the Daimler Board of Management responsible for Group Research and Mercedes-Benz Cars Development. “The sandwich floor fixed platform which serves as the perfect base for a variety of vehicles with electric drive. We are developing an additional platform for future compact model drive system that uses an internal combustion engine is optimized. Pintar connect the two architectures will enable us to expand our product range highly flexible and efficient. Starting in 2009, we will produce a small batch first Mercedes fuel cell car. In 2010, they will be followed by a small batch of Mercedes-Benz vehicles that run solely on electricity supplied by a battery. Thanks to the step these measures, we are well positioned for the future. ”

Electric-powered vehicles are fun to drive

Mercedes-Benz vehicles will continue to incorporate environmental awareness and driving fun in the future. One way in which the Mercedes-Benz designers have emphasized this aspiration is to introduce the paint finish in ALU-BEAM three new colors. Each of the three variants of the individuals making mark: ALU-BEAM Confident Copper BlueZERO selected for E-SEL PLUS. The BlueZERO E-SEL painted fresh yellow ALU-BEAM; the BlueZERO F-CELL appears on ALU-BEAM green.

Mercedes-Benz felt it would not just one technology that opened the way for sustainable mobility in the future, however. Instead the company is responding with solutions that every bit as diverse as the demands. Individual technologies used in certain applications where they can provide the greatest benefits of consumption and emissions optimal value. Mercedes-Benz viewed the development of electric cars with batteries and fuel cell drive for zero-emission driving locally as a means to complete a very clean and economical BlueEFFICIENCY and hybrid vehicles already available today. However, unlimited and convenient operation of the electric car is still facing a series of challenges, including the high cost of the system, lack of infrastructure and short-range power. Advanced diesel and gasoline engines will remain the driving force for car for a long time to come – not only for individual mobility in passenger cars (especially long-distance), but more importantly, for trucking transportation. Despite all the progress that Mercedes-Benz has once again so firmly documented BlueZERO concept, electric cars will not replace the vehicle with a combustion engine in the near future. In the electrification of the modern, high-tech machine will, however, play an increasingly important role in the drive system of the future mix.
