Citroën C-Zero: 100 % electrical

It seems that the future of the good-looking motoring for the ecological cars and that they do not contaminate, to try to reduce to the maximum the emission of CO2. For it, the marks are great manufacturers of cars who decide to extract ecological models, like this Citroën C-Zero: 100 % electrical. From this engine blog we tell you more details of this ecological model.

Citroën C-Zero is characterized by the zero: zero electrical consumption of fuel, zero emission of CO2, zero noises and 100 %, that is to say, an ecological conduction. This model will go on sale during the last trimester of 2010.

Also, Citroën C-Zero is an urban vehicle that is designed to make the mobility easier in the cities: limited dimensions, it recharges rapid and sufficient autonomy to cover the trajectories of every day, together with a silence that makes forget the noises of the metropolis.

Therefore, the characteristic most emphasized from this small model is that 100 % electrical talks each other of a car. In fact, Citroën C-Zero has a synchronous engine with permanent magnets, which develops a potency of 47 kW or 64 CV CEE entre3.000 to 6.000 revolutions per minute. His maximum pair rises up to 180 Nm from 2.000 revolutions per minute. The potency transmits to the rear wheels across a transmission reductora of only one march. It uses batteries of ions of lithium of last generation.

On the other hand, it recharges it with the batteries of Citroën C-Zero it is simple. It is necessary only to plug in the power cutoff point to a plug of 220V, and the battery will be recharged finished in six hours.

Between the characteristics of Citroën C-Zero we are that it has power steering, ABS, ASR, ESP, electrical window openers, 6 airbags, autonomous device for the call of emergency and an air-conditioner they represent the most significant series equipments. It reaches a maximum speed of 130 km/h, and from 0 to 100 obtains an acceleration km/h in approximately 15 seconds. It has a 3,48 meters length.

Principal characteristics of Peugeot of the year 2009

If we have to speak about the propellents that will be used in the model 3o8, simply it will be necessary to say that a model limits himself to two options, the first one turbodiésel 2.0 l HDi FAP capable of producing approximately 140 horsepowers, and also a version to gasoline 1.6 l THP that generates 150 horsepowers, all these propellents certainly would have functionality thanks to the use of a manual gearbox of six relations.

Other of the interesting paragraphs to stand out with regard to this nation, is that he will have series ESP in all his cars, likewise also it will offer an endless number of technological devices of the type as it they are counting with radio with compact disc, compatibility with the format MP3, a hard disk of 30GB and also the famous Bluetooth.

Even if the series known as 107 and 308 of the French manufacturer Peugeot are some of most waited on the world market, also we might say that the model aims to the fashion at 4007, which adds two more versions to the catalog of light todoterreno, since in May there appears the model 308 SUV, which undoubtedly is a modality in the miscellany between a small contact and a model all way, in addition to being able to say to his regard that it is based on the model 308 SW of the same series. With everything it is to become alienated that the final score undoubtedly us looks alike enough to an Audi Allroad.

Once the summer happens, Peugeot announced That the exit of his model based on the concept should Preface, which talks each other not of another thing more than of a monovolume with appearance of all light way, trying with it to play with the ambiguity of looking for a major number of followers to a current that has scattered of good form between different manufacturers about the world, and that presents like better argument the fact of showing a functionality more that peculiar so although we it have not believed many there are really models that serve to his intention.

Finally only it remains to mention as for sports model 308 RZ C, which has not managed to go out to the light as it corresponds and has been filed in indefinite form, as well as also there has not met the excellent substitute of the model 607, which obviously would come to be called 608 to continue with the series and to demonstrate his superiority.

Nissan has presented a concept to which it is possible to make alike very much the next SUV of the Japanese signature. The concept is based on a very urban vehicle that, on having been provided with the system of entire haulage Nissan All Mode, he allows to move with ease for any type of way. It is a question so of a vehicle similar to the Qashqai but of more limited dimensions. As his older brother, the Qazana, will be made of Sunderland (United Kingdom) and it is foreseen that comes to the market for the next year.

There will be elements that the production model probably does not preserve with regard to this prototype that today we bring to you our blog dedicated to the engine, like the 20 inches enormous rims, his doors of electrical operation without prop B and the rears of inverse opening. These components that heighten the figure of the concept but of doubtful viability for a model of serial production that does not go off of price.

The propellents that compare the family Qazana are not yet confirmed, but given the most probable size and weight of the prototype 1.600 can be cc of 115 CV and 2.000 cc of 141 CV as for the moved ones by gasoline, 1.500 might be cc dCi 105 the diesel CV and 2 liters dCi of 175 CV.

Associated a manual change of five speeds will go to these engines for the least powerful and of six for the rest, it will be possible to decide in favor of a change of the type CVT of optional continuous variador in those of more than 140 CV.

Against his esthetic daredevil there stand out the big steps of wheel, the elements rounded in most of his bodywork and his high line of waist. In his cockpit materials of different hardnesses are mixed. His seats lined in skin stop to the open report of his structure made of fibre of carbon, of his dashboard he emphasizes a big tactile central screen from which there manages the navigator and the integral haulage. The Qazana is provided with adaptive suspension, air-conditioner and integrated system of communication.

Toyota FT-EV II, the electrical one of the future

Other of the concept presented by Toyota in the last Lounge of the Motorcar of Tokyo along with the FT 86 about which we have already spoken to you in this blog, is the FT-EV II. This small urban prototype of zero emission, is an evolution of the model presented at the beginning of year in Detroit.

This model as his predecessor is based on the Toyota IQ and is the study base for a new model of electrical car that will see the light very probably in the year 2012. His design is more futurist enough than that of the IQ, his hood includes more glazed surface, where the front optical groups are placed, and his windshield is bigger what it grants him major visibility. The doors of this concept are sliding what he allows him to park in improbable places.

We find the truly novel thing in his interior, where Toyota has arranged a cockpit very similar to that of a spaceship. A Joystick does the functions of frill, pedals and gearbox. This new device is prepared to accelerate, brake and change of direction and supposes a space saving for the sake of the occupants. The FT-EV II only measures 2,7 meters long (50 centimeters less than a Toyota IQ) and in his interior it lodges four small squares.

Thought exclusively to move for city, the FT-EV II benefits from an increase in the autonomy of his batteries of lithium that now they allow him to cover up to 90 kilometers without being loaded. This is the daily urban covered maximum as diverse studies realized by the Japanese signature. This concept can reach a 100 km maximum speed / h.

Toyota is very close to developing the one that will be the microurban one of the future and waiting that the model of final production, in 2012, obtains even better yields than the FT-EV II.

Nissan GT-R GT500; made to run

This model of competition, presented recently by Nissan in the course of the Lounge of the Motorcar of Tokyo, means the return of the Japanese builder to the most demanding competition, the Super GT, Japanese championship of big tourisms that has being celebrated in the country of the nascent sun from the year 1994.

This competition of national character is similar to the one that there cover in Europe other marks like Audi, BMW or Mercedes and somewhere here known like DT. The category in which it will cover this Nissan GT-R is the acquaintance as GT500, in her, the engines are limited to a maximum potency of 500 CV; a free disposition of the cylinders is allowed; the cars can mount sobrealimentación systems and it is possible to mount propellents different from the one that takes the series car, whenever they are of the same mark.

The model presented in Tokyo is dressed for the competition, the carbon fibre abounds for all his bodywork, big side tails, immense rear aileron, big diffuser that helps to canalize the air for the shallows of the vehicle giving it to the soil and making it more manageable, and a few optical groups covered by all his ends, which remember very much to the car which it comes to replace the GT-R, the Nissan 350Z.

The Nissan bet for the championship of tourisms of his country goes very seriously, the GT-R GT500 is a radical racing car arranged to give the maximum in every career. Although the managers of the Japanese mark have not revealed yet that engine will mount, it seems that the V6 twin-turbocharger of 3.800 cc goes to remain him a child, therefore the most probable thing is that they choose for a V8 of 4.500 cc new, with more potency, hardiness and that it admits a major number of evolutions than the already saturated one V6 that was equipping the Nissan 350Z.

Toyota FT 86 Concept; it plays at home

The concept that today we bring to you our blog dedicated to the engine has been presented recently in the Lounge of the Motorcar of Tokyo, Lounge that has turned into an exclusive shop window for the models of Japanese manufacture before the absence of the big European marks. The Toyota FT 86 has presented itself as a sports compact one that promises a conduction happy and loaded with emotions.

His bodywork 4,16 meters long is decorated in a showy red color with a light blue touch that accentuates his sports character. Of well pronounced lines, they emphasize the big capture of central air, the torn optical groups and his aggressive rear crowned with an aileron of the just size not to spoil the set.

His cockpit, of futurist design, presents in a configuration 2+2 to itself with four squares entirely usable. In the design dashboard minimalista, they emphasize the digital instruments picture to the service of the driver and a clearly sports frill of three radioes.

The Toyota engineers have been able to support the set with a weight much low, thank you to a great extent to the agility of his bodywork, this joined the compact of his lines and his low center of gravity, allow a conduction very similar to that of a race car with an absolute control on the vehicle.

The propellent of the FT 86 of Toyota has been developed along with Subaru and it is a question of a motive type Bóxer of 4 cylinders and 2.000 cc. The engine is placed in front position and transmits his 150 potency CV to the rear wheels. The Japanese mark shuffles the possibility that in a future the FT 86 it is equipped with an engine, also type Bóxer, but overfed by means of a turbo-compressor and capably of delivering 250 CV.

Information is not known any more of any more than possible substitute of mythically Celestial but it seems that this concept has many ballot paper to turn into a serial production car.

Up! Lawsuit, last concept of Volkswagen

Presented recently in the Lounge of the Motorcar of the Angels, the Up! Lawsuit of Volkswagen, it appears like a prototype of very elegant exterior aspect and holder of a very efficient and clean mechanics. In our blog of the engine we will analyze the concept that can give place to a future respectful production model with the environment and with the pocket of his buyer.

The Up! Lawsuit does not come to length of 4 meters, has 1,6 wide one and 1,4 high one. His cockpit is wide and it can lodge comfortably four persons, his porter presents a load capacity in 217 liters normal configuration, if it was necessary, we would knock down the rear seats and would obtain up to the equivalent to 847 liters of load.

His esthetics contenidamente futurist, it has been thought to offer a low resistance to the wind. The hood is unmistakably Volkswagen, lighthouses and broiler squared, the side profiles flow clean, without rear-view mirrows that have been replaced by vision cameras, up to a rear compact and full of angles, finished off by a few nice optical groups. The set of only 695 kilograms in weight, thanks to the massive use in his construction of the aluminum and the fibre of carbon, achieves a final aerodynamic coefficient of only 0,23.

In his interior, the conduction position counts with three screens multifunctionality where there appears all the necessary information about the car. The principal one integrates into the central console and it is tactile. The lever drives the change DSG, moving above and below when it is necessary to change the march.

The system of propulsion of this concept of Volkswagen, it is named full-hybrid, and TDI of two cylinders joins an engine of 800 cc with the electrical one and the two to a change of seven relations. The Up! Lawsuit can work in way 100 % electrical or with any possible combination between his two engines. The average consumption when both propellents are used places in 2,44 liters every 100 kilometers.

With 20 liters of diesel oil in the deposit we can cover up to 800 kilometers. The engines combination is capable of delivering 65 potency CV, what allows him to reach a 180 km maximum speed / h and spend from 0 to 100 km / h in 12,5 seconds. To save fuel, the TDI disconnects to falls speeds or when the car stops and the electrical one promotes him or serves as starter motor thanks to the energy that it obtains and stores during the brakings.

Toyota will improve the Hilux

There comes to our blog dedicated to the engine an advance of what the Japanese manufacturer Toyota will include in his todoterreno Hilux for the next year. The Hilux is one of the pick up most known in Europe and Toyota he has decided to increase his services, with progress in the engine and renew his equipment.

The new Hilux will support the propellent of 2,5 liters of the current generation but the Toyota engineers have improved it obviously. The model 2010 will see as his potency raises of the current 118 CV to some more than respectable 142 CV, what supposes an increase of 20 %.
