Buick just introduced the Regal model with eAssist system or, put another way, the Regal Hybrid. For this release, announcing an improvement in terms of consumption about 25 percent over equivalent petrol variant. Are we witnessing the advance of the Opel Insignia hybrid? For now, the German company has not confirmed anything about it.
What do you think? Leave your comments, the most interesting will be published in the journal Hwy. Alternatively, this news debate on our forums. General Motors Group continues taking steps in the development of increasingly efficient vehicles. In addition to the range electric Volt and Opel extendidaChevrolet Ampera, hybrid technology looks set to be another serious alternatives in the coming years.
The Buick Regal eAssist is one of the innovations in this field. The Regal 2012 eAssist these days makes its debut in Chicago Auto Show. Is scheduled to begin marketing in the United States in late 2011. First of all, we must emphasize that his counterpart in Europe is the Opel Insignia, so we could be talking about the future Insignia hybrid.
In any case, our protagonist is the Regal eAssist, and we explain their highlights. The American company General Motors group says the eAssist Regal has improved fuel consumption by around 25 percent compared to equivalent gasoline version. In this front-drive sedan through, it includes a 2.4 petrol engine Ecotec four-cylinder direct injection with an output of 185 hp at 6,700 rpm.
The announced torque is 23.75 Nm at 4,900 rpm. This mechanism is driving the vehicle at all times. At certain moments-in-acceleration, the internal combustion engine is assisted by a small electric induction motor also located on the front. The electric motor yields a maximum power of 11.2 kW (about 15 hp).
In addition to assisting the gasoline engine, electric motor also acts as the generator of energy through regenerative braking system. The kinetic energy lost in deceleration or braking is converted into electrical energy and subsequently stored in the battery. This is the lithium-ion battery is housed in a small compartment between the rear seats and the trunk and weighs 29 kg.
When put in this position, the boot capacity is reduced slightly to about final data of 314 liters. Both the electric motor and battery lithium ion Buick Regal eAssist have their own cooling system (water in the case of motor and air in the case of the battery.) According to preliminary estimates, data is still provisional, "the city fuel consumption stands at 9.05 l/100 km (26 miles per gallon, according to the U.S.
unit of measurement), while on tours of highways and motorways low spending to 6.36 l/100 km (37 mpg). A new type of automatic six-speed Hydra-Matic is responsible for transferring all power to the asphalt. Indeed, like other such vehicles, the Buick Regal tires eAssist also incorporates low rolling resistance, particularly about All Season Michelin Energy Saver 235/50 measures mounted on a lightweight aluminum alloy wheels 17 inch diameter.
For its part, the start / stop of stop-start engine also contributes its bit towards the maximum energy efficiency. Finally, several aerodynamic improvements made in the front and the underside of the vehicle also are other technical developments of the Buick Regal Hybrid. Inside, a display screen of 7 inches in diameter, reports in real time during the flow of energy from each of the components that make up the hybrid (gasoline engine, electric motor, battery status and regenerative braking) .
