2011 Smart Fortwo Electric Drive Official Detail

2011 Smart Fortwo Electric Drive

Following the successful launch in European cities the new smart fortwo electric drive will take to the roads of North American cities from the autumn. The electrically powered trendsetter has been rolling off the production line since November 2009 – and due to the huge demand the initial production volume has been increased from 1000 to 1500 vehicles. The second generation smart fortwo electric drive is equipped with an innovative and highly efficient lithium-ion battery. It is neatly accommodated between the axles, which means that space is not compromised in any way in the intelligent two-seater vehicle. A 30 kW electric motor is fitted at the rear. This provides for very good acceleration and high agility with 120 Newton metres of torque that are immediately available. The smart fortwo electric drive can be charged at any normal household socket. The fully charged battery has sufficient power to cover approximately 135 kilometres in accordance with the New European Driving Cycle, making it ideal for urban use. smart has made electric drive a practical alternative for mobility with zero local emissions in urban areas. The first of the new smart fortwo electric drive vehicles were handed over to customers in Berlin at the end of 2009, and the environmentally friendly pioneer will now demonstrate its suitability for everyday use in further cities in Europe, North America and Asia. From 2012 the smart fortwo electric drive will be available to anyone interested in almost 40 smart markets.

Marc Langenbrinck, responsible for brand management at smart says "In 1998 smart revolutionised urban mobility with the unique smart fortwo vehicle concept. Now smart is once again taking on a pioneering role and redefining zero-emission urban mobility. We are the first manufacturer to launch a series-produced electric vehicle. Daimler is spearheading electric mobility with the smart fortwo electric drive. The smart fortwo electric drive is a further logical step in the evolution of the smart brand which boasts the fleet with the lowest fuel consumption anyway."

Environmental friendliness and state-of-the-art functionality have been defining features of the smart fortwo ever since it was launched more than ten years ago. Since then its innovative concept has combined sustainable, forward-looking technologies with individual urban mobility. With a length of just over two and a half metres the extremely compact vehicle can also park perpendicular to the flow of traffic. In addition, the space-saving and environmentally friendly two-seater currently has the lowest fleet consumption and it brings its occupants to their destination comfortably and safely. Its design is fresh, youthful, modern and yet sophisticated and has made it an automotive lifestyle icon which shows that mobility, responsibility to the environment and joie de vivre are compatible with one another. The smart fortwo has established a class of its own.

smart fortwo electric drive offers innovative driving fun

The new smart fortwo electric drive, which started rolling off the production line in November 2009, is a logical continuation of a very ambitious goal: the production of a well-engineered, attractive city car that has no local exhaust gas emissions i.e. a zero emission vehicle. In 2007 smart kicked off zero-emission motoring in London with its tough city traffic conditions. Since then 100 smart fortwo electric drives of the first generation have been in practical customer operation there. The feedback from the UK capital has been very positive and confirms the high degree of maturity of this vehicle concept.
In 2008 smart presented the second generation smart fortwo electric drive, a more advanced electric drive with an innovative lithium-ion battery. Lithium-ion technology has decisive advantages over other types of batteries including better performance, shorter charging times, a long life and high reliability. Marc Langenbrinck says "The second generation smart fortwo electric drive is based on a successful and accepted vehicle concept with character and inherent environmentally friendly characteristics. Its innovative electric battery drive makes it the perfect car for the city: it is agile, economical and climate-friendly. Motoring with zero local emissions in an urban environment has become a reality. This equates to driving fun with no compromises."

Electric drive factored in from the very first concept

The smart fortwo electric drive is a smart fortwo that does not make any compromises with regard to safety, agility, comfort and space. Electric drives have been part of the smart concept right from the start. The later integration of the components needed for electric drive was planned at a very early stage. For example, there is space for the battery in the underfloor between the axles where the tank is located in other smart models. The electric drive module does not limit the space available in the smart fortwo electric drive in any way; there is just as much interior and luggage compartment space as in a smart fortwo with a combustion engine.

Powerful drive

A 30 kW magneto-electric motor is installed at the rear of the new smart fortwo electric drive and reacts directly without delay. Powerful torque of 120 Newton metres is immediately available. This results in a surprising amount of power when pulling away. The smart fortwo electric drive accelerates from 0 - 60 km/h in 6.5 seconds – just as quickly as a petrol model which it initially leaves behind it. After a year of driving the first generation smart fortwo electric drive in everyday conditions on British roads one of the participants in the large-scale London trial said "You can beat anything at the lights". The maximum speed of the smart fortwo electric drive has been deliberately limited to 100 km/h, a suitable maximum speed for the city.

Thanks to the power characteristic of the electric motor, just one single fixed gear ratio is required. There is no need for any gear changing – a major advantage in dense city traffic. To reverse, the engine's direction of rotation changes. "Fantastic and easy to drive. You just get in, turn on and go" was how experienced users from London summed up the smart fortwo electric drive.

The second generation smart fortwo electric drive is powered by a lithium-ion battery developed by Tesla Motors Inc. with electrical energy of 16.5 kWh. It is simple to charge at any fused 220 Volt socket. A fully charged battery is sufficient for up to 135 kilometres of driving fun (NEDC). This range is more than enough for city traffic as studies have shown that cars drive an average of 30 - 40 kilometres per day in towns and cities. For this, the vehicle only needs to be charged for three hours. At an average speed of 25 - 30 km/h that is normal in city traffic the smart fortwo electric drive can drive for around four to five hours continuously before it needs to be recharged. Plugging the car in overnight will fully recharge the battery.

Generation differences

First generation smart fortwo electric drive Second generation smart fortwo electric drive
In everyday use in London since 2007 Production of a small series started at the end of 2009
Battery: NaNiCl (sodium-nickel-chloride), works at temperatures between 280 and 320 degrees Celsius, and therefore needs to be heated. Also has an insulated casing like a thermos flask. Battery: lithium-ion, works at normal temperatures. The lithium-ion battery enables a cold start at minus 25 degrees Celsius. More useable energy with the same size. The same battery size as for the first generation smart was chosen. The range has increased from 100 km to 135 km.
Power output: 20 kW Power output: 20 kW plus peak power output of 30 kW for approximately 2 minutes. The peak power can be called up with the kickdown function.

Electronics optimise the battery status and power consumption

Special electronics ensure that all is well with the battery. This battery management system constantly monitors voltage, electricity and temperature. If one of these parameters reaches a specified limit – for example when driving up long hills at constant peak power (kickdown) – the electronics reduce the power output. However, this is barely noticeable and it rules out the risk of battery overload.

The electronics also monitor the charging process and control the capacity display. The vehicle's power electronics supply the vehicle's electrical system with electric current from the battery via a DC/DC converter. In addition, they also control the heating and air conditioning, for example, to minimise the strain on the battery. Clever drivers can air condition their smart fortwo electric drive
in advance as long as their vehicle is being charged at home – the long-standing dream of stationary cooling becomes a reality! No other car offers this comfortable option.

Extensive equipment

The new second generation smart fortwo electric drive is based on the smart fortwo coupé/cabrio with high quality equipment. As well as air conditioning with automatic temperature control and pre-air conditioning, the equipment includes smart radio 9, electric power steering, electric windows, electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors, a two-spoke leather steering wheel, leather gear knob and 12-spoke alloy wheels. In addition to the battery indicator, an ammeter shows the consumption and the recuperated energy. Furthermore, all new second generation smart fortwo electric drives have green painted alloy wheels, green mirror caps, green contrast components and a green tridion cell created with green adhesive foil. The words "electric drive" on the rear and in the mirror triangle also draw attention to the vehicle's special status.

Very low costs

There are also numerous factors in different countries that make electric mobility attractive for customers. Tax relief and other government subsidies play an important role. For example, the state of Monaco offers tax relief of up to €9,000 to electric car owners. Other countries have also set up funding programmes for sustainable mobility. France grants a "super environment incentive" of €5000 for every vehicle emitting less than 60 grams of CO2 per kilometre. In Great Britain there is a bonus of up to ₤5000 and in Belgium of €4540. In Denmark such cars are exempt from the extremely high registration tax and there are lots of further examples in Europe. In the USA there is a federal tax benefit of up to $7500 plus additional benefits depending on the state or city. China and Japan have announced subsidies of €6,500 and €11,000 respectively.

The maintenance costs are considerably lower than those of a smart with a combustion engine as the battery, motor and other components of the electric drive are maintenance-free.

smart fortwo electric drive in major cities in Europe and the USA

Since the end of 2009 the second generation smart fortwo electric drive has been delivered to selected customers. Leases are offered for a period of four years and 60,000 kilometres. The first vehicles were handed over to customers in December within the framework of the "e-mobility Berlin" project. Here, in cooperation with the energy provider RWE and with the support of the German government and the city of Berlin, Daimler is creating ideal conditions for running battery-driven vehicles with no local emissions. This includes setting up a network of electricity charging stations that enable intelligent communication between electric vehicles and the power network so that the battery can be charged when electricity is cheapest. But as mentioned, the smart fortwo electric drive can also be charged at any household safety socket with a 16 amp fuse (standard in Germany and other countries).

Further new generation smart fortwo electric drive vehicles will take to the roads of Hamburg, Paris, Rome, Milan, Pisa, London and the Midlands, Madrid, Zurich, Portugal, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands during the first half of 2010. In the autumn of 2010 the smart fortwo electric drive will then also be launched in cities in the USA and Canada, and from 2011 in some Asian countries. There is already a very lively demand for the smart fortwo electric drive, and from 2012 it will be produced in large volumes as a normal part of the smart range and sold via the smart dealer network. This third generation will be fitted with a new lithium-ion battery which Daimler is developing to production maturity in cooperation with Evonik. The lithium-ion battery currently used comes from Tesla and represents state-of-the-art technology. However, further progress is anticipated. The main differences between the two batteries lie in the structural design. The Tesla battery consists of lots of cylinder-shaped cells. The Daimler battery will be made up of fewer but larger plate units. This will first and foremost enable a greater energy density to be achieved (with greater energy content for a higher range) and an even longer life.

With the smart fortwo electric drive the brand is underlining its pioneering role on the road to attractive individual mobility with no local emissions in cities and urban areas. Dr. Joachim Schmidt, Head of Sales and Marketing at Mercedes-Benz Cars says "All in all we believe that the outlook for electric mobility is good. Whilst our competitors are still presenting electric show cars, smart brought production models that are fully suitable for everyday use to the roads last year. This once again demonstrates our technical expertise and responsibility."

Some Canadian drivers would give up sex for cars

Aston Martin V8 Vantage

A model stands beside Aston Martin V8 Vantage during a special media opening of the Beijing Auto Show on April 23, 2010 in Beijing, China.

I’m just re-reading that headline, and it makes us look like a nation of prostitutes.

Well, that’s not what I meant. What actually happened is that the World Wildlife Federation did a survey leading up to bike-to-work week (May 31 to June 4) that revealed some very interesting information about Canadian drivers.

Asked what they’d give up rather than hand over the keys, the True North Strong and Free said that 36 per cent would give up junk food, 14 per cent would stop drinking coffee, six per cent would turn off their televisions and two per cent would happily wave goodbye to nookie forever.

Interestingly, those most likely to go without sex were a) women and b) from Ontario. So there you go: one more reason to skip straight from Manitoba to Montreal.

More electric cars means finding new standards to measure fuel efficiency

It used to be easy to know whether a car was a glutton for fuel. Federal standards defined miles per gallon and laid out precisely how the statistic should be measured.

But with the dawning of what enthusiasts hope is an era of electric cars, federal regulators are struggling to come up with a definition of auto efficiency for the next generation of technology. This year, two major auto manufacturers, General Motors and Nissan, will bring to market cars that plug in.

"There's no clear answer for how we should be informing the public about the efficiency of these new cars," said Mike Duoba, a research engineer at Argonne National Laboratory, outside Chicago. "The language we have been speaking -- mpg -- isn't sophisticated enough."

To fill the gap, researchers and Environmental Protection Agency officials have been conducting vehicle tests, researching driver habits and even running focus groups toward informing consumers about which cars are energy hogs.

Google Rolling Into Auto Industry Through Maps

mobile  car

Google is making its way into the automotive industry in several deals. One could require the Mountain View, Calif. search engine to work more closely with rival Microsoft.

Ford plans to add Google Maps to its Sync in-car communications platform, available by June, on all 2010 and 2010 models equipped with the Sync system, powered by Microsoft software. The latest Send to Sync features allows drivers to send destinations over Bluetooth in Google Maps to their cars through an app called Sync Traffic, Directions, and Information.

But Ford isn't the only automaker giving Google deeper integration into their cars. OnStar subscribers now have an option to search for and identify destinations using Google Maps, and send them to the Turn-by-Turn Navigation Service in their vehicles. The feature becomes available later this month on all GM vehicles beginning with the 2006 model year. It integrates with OnStar Destination Download to send destinations directly to the vehicle's screen-based navigation system.

The deal expands on Google's relationship with OnStar and the automotive industry announced in May. The two unveiled mapping and navigation features on the Android platform for the Chevrolet Volt electric vehicle. From the map screen, owners can use Google search by voice to locate a destination with their Android handset, and see where that destination is relation to car.

If you already have XT1200Z Yamaha Super Tenere, also with the Multistrada 1200 Ducati, and BMW R1200GS, Honda will equip the motor cruise competition
ENDURO type it.

Do not want to miss, designers Oberdan Bezzi decided to create a design concept Honda motor cruisers and embodied in the figure of 1200 Honda Africa Twin.

Thus, his presence as if trying to revive the Japanese Enduro legend that only the middle class produced by 750 cc engine in the era of the 1990s until 2003.

To be more competitive presence for now, the swelling reached the engine room with 140 hp power shall be done, with the support of extremely versatile chassis.

Gahar visible, but still comfortable, especially with the number of application specific accessories motorcycle touring on the whole bodinya ENDURO, including blue and white with red paint laburan typical HRC.

At least Honda Africa Twin in 1200 was already more than enough to meet current standards ENDURO bike. BMW R1200GS it must now be really vigilant, articles Super Tenere Yamaha motorcycle concept has now become tangible XT1200Z Like Yamaha Tenere 2010 which is projected as a serious competitor in the segment of motor sport adventurers. Some supporting technologies that provide comfort and adventure skills embedded in this figure XT1200Z Super Tenere.
Some features of existing technologies such as three levels of traction control and super model smart braking system. Yamaha claims that this desert cruiser bike is like an SUV capable of and provide high comfort on the field of off-road and on road.
Now Yamaha has really pulled the veil XT1200Z Tenere Like most highly anticipated as a model in 2010. Attendance seemed to bring back the Super Tenere Yamaha's heyday in the arena of Dakar Adventure in the 80s to 90s.
Engine
Super Tenere engine equipped with a new four-stroke, DOHC, inline 2-cylinder, four-valve, fuel injected, twin-spark. This machine is capable of spewing a maximum power up to 80.9kW / 110PS at 7250 rpm and maximum torque of up to 114.1 Nm / 11. 6kgf ・ m at 6000 rpm. Seeing the torque generated from this machine, it is clear that the adventurers Yamaha has returned.
Throttle control system with a system of YCC-T fly-by-wire the same as those applied to the R1, R6 and V-MAX. But for this Yamaha Super Tenere added bonus of three levels of technology, traction control system.
Braking System
Super Tenere on the braking system sounded very good. Diteparkan ABS is very effective as a security feature in the street. And a combination of braking system that helps distribute the control and comfort while braking, especially when the rider stands.
Yamaha makes an electronic ABS braking system combined with the speed sensor located on the front and rear tires. Mainstay Super Tenere Yamaha Enduro Heavy

It appears that the seriousness of Yamaha for playing in class "adventurers" are really manifested through XT1200Z Yamaha Super Tenere. Motor that is designed to explore not only the highway but also the mountains to the desert is actually already appeared in draft form at the end of 2007, but actually proved kelahiranya in 2010.
Yamaha 1200cc capacity after BMW1200GS Adventure and Ducati Multistrada 1200

This is evidenced by the same engine capacity of 1200cc two-cylinder together with four valves. Maximum Power is 108 hp at 7250 rpm and 104 nm torque at 6000 rpm, it is far less than the Multistrada 1200 could in "sets" between 150 hp and 100 hp as you wish. But Yamaha claims 108 hp and torque power 104 nm is sufficient ketibang sophisticated tool ala Multistrada, articles rididitas Super Tenere guaranteed by a la BMW R1200GS drive axle system.
Multistrada 1200: The Beginning
"A new concept biking." That was the brief given to the Ducati designers they want Pls started work on the original Multistrada.

It arrived on the market in spring of 2003 and created a new and exciting segment, typical of the Bologna manufacturer. A new vision Which sports combined with trail-blazing performance capabilities while Providing an extremely comfortable ride and unrivaled versatility.

Initially Produced with the water-cooled 620 cc and 1000 DS engines, the Latter of Which was later upgraded to 1100cc in 2006, the Multistrada IMMEDIATELY made a name for Itself with its bold personality. Thanks to an impressive technical specification it soon Became synonymous with pure riding pleasure, being equally at ease on mountain roads and motorways, ideal for long distances while agile and manageable in town.

Now, Ducati have taken the concept further, with a design That Satisfies all the demands of a motorcyclist combined into one bike: a Multistrada with the emphasis on the Multi, a sportbike Which Is Also powerful and fun but easy to ride and Whose first priority is safety and comfort.

The New Multistrada 1200 Has Arrived
Wanted to Produce a Ducati motorcycle to tackle any kind of journey and the road surface, a motorcycle That Used technology derived from the Bologna-made race bikes in the MotoGP and World Superbike. A bike had no limits and That Could Transform Itself to suit the rider's demands and not the other way around. A motorcycle That is four bikes in one.

From a SupersPort to a tourer for Long Journeys with a passenger and luggage, to an Every Day Could Breeze Which bike through the daily commute and Also tackle off-road routes with the agility of an ENDURO. The goal was a versatile bike Able to achieve impressive levels of performance at all times and in all Places. A Bike That Did not exist Until now!

Ducati have once again pushed the limits of the Italian motorcycle design by adding innovation to the elegance, style and technology characterizes the Motorcycles That Which come out of its Bologna factory. All it needed was a heart, the perfect engine to realize the potential of this new design.

The Obvious starting point was the World Championship-winning engine, the Testastretta, Used on the Superbike 1198 and work started to create the perfect power Characteristics for the Multistrada 1200. Engineers in Bologna have succeeded in harnessing the immense power of this engine, making it smooth and adaptable to suit to any occasion. They have created the new Testastretta 11 ° engine, a significant step forward in balancing performance with usability.
DESIGN: "Character" of the Multistrada 1200

Exhaust: Style and Sound
For Ducati, design is not just creating an attractive look. It is about knowing how best to combine exciting appearance with intelligent functions and outstanding performance. The Multistrada 1200's exhaust tail pipes are a feature That demonstrates this concept perfectly.

Their innovative design is well integrated with the motorcycle's overall shape and positioned so as to improve overall weight distribution.
