Video Iveco Glider

We do not speak often of vehicles commericiali on Autoblog, but when we saw the concept at the Michelin Challenge Bibendum Iveco Glider, we could not help but climb on board. This is half the contents of the highest technological level. Or refer someone quickly: on-board generation of renewable energy, energy recovery, architecture, high energy efficiency, reduction of resistance to motion.

Iveco Glider uses high-efficiency solar panels and high formability to generate renewable energy on board. The panels cover an area of about 2mq on the roof of the cabin, subject to the continuous washing by aerodynamic flow, ensuring maximum efficiency and energy production up to 2 kWh.

In terms of waste reduction, there are systems such as KERS, which allow you to retrieve and use the kinetic energy would be dissipated as heat during braking, and the heat of the engine that would otherwise be dispersed into the gas drain and through the radiators. Glider on the heat of the exhaust gas is converted into electrical energy through a thermodynamic system based on a Rankine cycle, a sort of compact and efficient steam engine.

A high efficiency heat exchanger is positioned on the discharge line immediately after the system to reduce emissions and is used to send in an organic fluid pressure of work can also operate at low temperatures. The heat that is converted into energy is also dissipated through heat exchangers that functionalized planar side fairings Iveco Glider, while a by-pass valve allows you to exclude the system during the maximum power demands.

The heat recovery system can reduce up to 10% fuel requirements of the highway vehicle on a mission. Maximum comfort on board, as we see in the movie, from a technological standpoint it all. Then remember what impressed us most: the multi-function box Hotpoint-Ariston "Ivory" with all the functionality of a real kitchen, storage of food for their preparation, to wash the dishes.

Seats, or rather, real Poltrona Frau, LED interior lighting Artemide, television and of course a console to play in moments of leisure. If it were not for The size or the license, almost makes you use it to go to the office ...
