Perfect Combination of Diesel Hybrid on BMW Concept

BMW Group presents the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept car at the Frankfurt Motor Show. BMW also managed to achieve the target fuel economy and emission standards are more stringent that will be needed in the future.

Concept cars in attendance this time in the form of a car plug-ins with full-hybrid technology and has a composition of 2 +2 seating. This car has a combination of performance, as there is in the BMW M cars with fuel consumption and emissions are even lower than many compact cars that circulate in the market today.

Engine technology in the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept car is able to be driven to achieve speeds of 250 kilometers per hour is limited electronically, with acceleration from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in just 4.8 seconds. Fuel consumption is an average based on European standards, only 3.76 liters per 100 kilometers, with CO2 emissions of 99 grams per kilometer.

Now being prepared guidelines for the legal standard of measuring fuel consumption on hybrid and electric cars. Using this new measurement guidelines, then the CO2 emissions of the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics will reach only one-third of 99 grams per kilometer which is the current benchmark.

Performance and fuel economy in cars extraordinary is possible thanks to a combination of the three-cylinder turbodiesel engine is economical news material with a hybrid motor that works in sync on the front axle, and a full-hybrid system in the rear axle. The combination of the three engines that work in precision in regulating energy, then creates excellent performance and optimum efficiency.

Overall, this machine is capable of producing power 356 hp, with maximum torque of 800 Nm.

Three-cylinder turbodiesel engine can also use the capacity of 1.5 liters, indicating the potential use of small engines for use with turbocharging systems to minimize exhaust emissions.

This machine is carrying the fuel injection system common-rail generation and turbocharger with variable intake geometry. Maximum power mendapai 163 hp, with peak torque of 290 Nm.

When driving at high speed and in the event of braking, electric motor mounted on the rear axle to function as a generator that supplies electricity for lithium-polymer battery. Thus, the terkumpullah electricity without having to add fuel.

In addition, these batteries can also power electricity were filled only with conventional plugs. With the power house, which is usually powered 220 Volt and 16 Ampere, the longest battery charging process took just 2.5 hours.

While charging batteries with higher power, such as 380 Volt and 32 Ampere, the battery recharges fully only takes 44 minutes.

By relying on diesel fuel alone, the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics able to crawl a distance of about 650 kilometers. And by adding elektrisnya machine system, the power of the travel will increase 50 kilometers. Total, with a diesel engine and electric, this car can travel a distance of 700 kilometers.

Based on the principle of "form follows function" (form follows function) is not limited to the look and configuration of this car, but also includes all of the details, making the car a dimensionless 4.6 meters, 1.9 meters width, and height of 1.24 meters It has a unique look and aesthetic.

Various parts of the concept car BMW Vision EfficientDynamics has dismissed the role of air currents, thus optimizing the aerodynamics of this car.

To further optimize the aerodynamics of this car and while minimizing roll resistance, the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics equipped with special tires and wheel size is not unusual for a sports car. This tire has a size of 195/55, while the alloy wheels measuring 21 inches to allow for intersection with the road as well as the actual width of the tire. Plus axle kinematics are working optimally, the car could glide swiftly each time.

This car has the proportions typical of BMW sports car, appear with the language of design that makes this concept car is perfect. The front, side, rear, and the roof, everything seemed to flow smoothly from one section to another, with the surface and form a dynamic light and shadow to create an accent that is very interesting. Overall accent the emotional lightweight sports car.

With terangkainya each system component in a network or a separate network, the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics able to offer energy management system that can predict the conditions, using all the information obtained through sensors. (inilah/yudhax)
