Je tique quand meme pas mal quand je vois Porsche se lancer la dedans pour le 4x4 Cayenne et Mercedes pour la classe-S. Ca va donner bonne conscience pour les gros véhicules !Hybrids at the Frankfurt IAA 2005 :
Toyota had no new hybrids to introduce, but Executive Vice President Kazuo Okamoto said all of the company’s vehicles will eventually be based on hybrid powertrains. Toyota also indicated that it aims to increase hybrid production by 60% in 2006 and will cut costs and prices to make them more affordable. Toyota also said that it will boost production of its motors for hybrids next year by 30% to keep up with rapidly rising demand. (GCC)
As noted last week, Honda introduced its 2006 Civic Hybrid with the next-generation IMA hybrid drive. (GCC)
Audi introduced a concept hybrid version of its new SUV, the Q7, at the Frankfurt IAA, and also announced that it was collaborating with its parent Volkswagen and Porsche on hybrid powertrains, although no contracts, letters or memoranda have yet to be signed. This is a large (2,410 kilograms; 5,313 pounds), performance hybrid that has fuel consumption of 12.0 liters/100km (19.6 mpg US)—13% better than the conventional Q7. (GCC)
Audi also announced that it was collaborating with its parent Volkswagen and Porsche on hybrid powertrains.
Porsche, accordingly, announced that it would develop a hybrid version of its Cayenne SUV based on the Audi/VW powertrain sometime before the end of the decade. (GCC)
BMW introduced its latest supercap hybrid concept vehicle, the X3 EfficientDynamics. Combining a next-generation direct-injection inline six cylinder engine with an electric motor and supercapacitor energy storage allows the SUV to accelerate from 0-100km/h in about 6.7 seconds. Fuel consumption compared to a conventional X3 is reduced by approximately 20% to an estimated 9.4 l/100km (25 mpg US) from the current 11.8 l/100km (20 mpg US). (GCC)
BMW also announced that it would implement spray-guided gasoline direct injection technology, stop/start and regenerative braking on all models in the future. (More on this below).
DaimlerChrysler introducing gasoline and diesel Mercedes mild-hybrid concept cars based on the S-Class.
The 'Direct Hybrid' is a V6 gasoline hybrid that uses spray-guided direct injection (GDI) to optimize efficiency of the engine. The 'Bluetec Hybrid' uses a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system to meet future diesel emissions requirements. Both use the same mild hybrid transmission—not the full two-mode GM/DaimlerChrysler hybrid powertrain under development. (GCC)
Ford indicated that it is considering putting micro-hybrid capabilities into the Duratorq 2.0-liter diesel engine line by using a belt-driven integrated starter generator (B-ISG). The Ford Focus and the C-MAX both feature the engine, and Ford believes that it is this segment in which such micro-hybrids would be the most appreciated by customers. (GCC)
Daihatsu unveiled the HVS, a new lightweight hybrid concept sportscar. The HVS combines a 1.5-liter gasoline engine and a 4WD hybrid system. The company suggests that the performance will be reminiscent of a 2-liter engine, but with fuel economy exceeding that of a 1-liter engine. (GCC)
