Chevrolet Volt

Chevrolet Volt. Modelo 2011.General Motors has unveiled some details of the Chevrolet Volt, the final model of production based on the prototype of the same name.

The Chevrolet Volt is driven solely by an electrical mechanism, which uses a battery to store energy. If the battery is charging as to move the vehicle emissions and gasoline consumption are zero. If the battery is depleted, a gasoline generator is put into operation to feed the electric motor and simultaneously charge the battery. Using gasoline, the autonomy of the Volt are "several hundred kilometers. The battery can also be recharged at an outlet of the conventional home network.

The battery stores energy to walk 64 km in the urban cycle defined by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) without having to consume gasoline. This battery is Lithium Ion and has a capacity of 16 kWh. It takes less than three hours to recharge a plug with 240 V (in the U.S., where domestic electricity is 110 V, it takes eight hours).

Chevrolet Volt. 2011.Según Chevrolet model, the full charge the battery on the home network at the current prices would cost less than one euro, which would traverse the 64 miles that have autonomy without using gasoline. This gives a cost of electricity of less than 1.5 cents per mile, compared with 10 cents that it costs about fuel a car with an average consumption of 8 litres/100 km. Chevrolet has not data on consumption when the Volt is driven by the generator.

The generator can run on gasoline or E85 (a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline), Chevrolet has not given details. In the prototype, this generator had three cylinders in line, a displacement of 1.0 liters and a turbocharger.

The propellant is an electrical power of 111 kW (151 hp) and a torque of 230 Nm. The Chevrolet Volt reaches a top speed of 160 km / h. The assistance of the address is electric. Like other hybrids, the electric system recovers energy when the driver decelerates or slows moderately. It has disc brakes on all four wheels, which requires more work when deceleration.

According to Chevrolet, have invested a lot of work in the GM wind tunnel for aerodynamic bodywork with sound, which will improve the autonomy and consumption figures. It has some specially developed tires with low rolling resistance.

The Volt will be offered more choices of equipment, interior colors and lighting than any other saloon from Chevrolet. It will have elements of two series of information screens (picture), touch screen LCD configurable by the driver and Bluetooth connection. Optionally you can have a browser, where data are stored on a hard drive (which can also store music).

The manufacture of the Chevrolet Volt for the U.S. market beginning in late 2010, presumably at the GM plant in Detroit-Hamtramck has.
