Volvo is continuing its offensive in the development of hybrid propulsion. After the presentation, key in crash tests, the C30 DRIVe power took place at the Detroit Motor Show, the House of Gothenburg's time to think about the Geneva Motor Show. In the first major European auto event, held March 3 to 13, will present the Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid, "final prototype" (ie, in a configuration already virtually ready for production) of the station wagonrinnovata last fall.
The car is equipped with a diesel hybrid - electric, and is credited with a value of CO2 emissions of less than 50 g / km and a fuel consumption of less than 2 liters per 100 km. Under the leadership of the Volvo car business is expected to debut in 2012. The technology applied by the House in 2010 from the Swedish experience of China Geely Group, was created in collaboration with fellow Vattenfall, and uses the plug-in hybrid (with the possibility of charging the battery through a standard household outlet) on all four wheels.
At the front, in fact, does the family D5 turbodiesel 2.4-liter, turbocharged 5-cylinder and two of different sizes, which develops 215 hp and maximum torque of 440 Nm In this engine, introduced in early 2009 and designed to provide high performance and low power consumption, the system is combined with ERAD (Electric Rear Axle Drive), which gives motion to the rear wheels in the form of a 70 hp electric motor, powered by a 12 kWh lithium battery.
Entire turbo system - electrical works a six-speed automatic transmission. Further details will be announced with regard to benefits. For now, the Volvo indicate the new hybrid for 2012 as a vehicle to provide dynamism and driving pleasure. As for the consumption figures indicated, are really low for a station wagon of 4.63 meters in length and weigh that in turbo present is 2,200 kg.
One can imagine that, to help fuel economy and emissions, the Volvo has studied the aerodynamics (as developed for the DRIVe technology). In the coming months will show whether the "2 liters per 100 km" correspond to those declared. What is certain is the supply of cars, "clean" that Volvo is working on site.
With a production in the short term, a range of electric and hybrid models to be launched in Europe and the U.S., in fact, at the Detroit Motor Show in recent weeks had already been brought to the C30 Electric. Subjected to a crash test (always a theme dear to the Volvo technicians) front to 64 km / h, the car had shown a degree of security comparable to that of petrol and diesel version currently in list.
