Smart fortwo electric drive

Smart fortwo electric drive – will roll from the production line at the plant in Hambach, France. Smart fortwo electrically driven from the second generation comes with a lithium-ion battery is an innovative and highly efficient. It is placed in the position of the space between the axles, which means space is not compromised in any way in the two-seater smart cars. A 30 kW electric motor is mounted in the rear. Provide good acceleration and agility high with 120 Newton meters of torque available soon. Smart fortwo electric drive can be charged at any normal household outlet. In Germany, a full battery charge costs about two euros and sufficient for the range of about 115 kilometers, more than enough for city traffic. Practical alternative to electric drive for zero-emission mobility in urban areas. New smart fortwo electric drive that was originally leased to customers in Berlin and other cities in Europe and the United States that would subject trendsetter for the environmentally friendly world of intensive testing in difficult conditions.

Environmentally friendly features and functionality of the smart fortwo define contemporary since it was launched more than ten years ago. Since then the concept has been incorporated sustainable innovative, forward-looking technology with the mobility of urban individuals. With a length of more than two and a half feet is very compact vehicle can park perpendicular to the flow of traffic. Two space saving and environmentally friendly passenger now has the lowest consumption of the fleet and for the purpose of carrying passengers comfortable and safe. Design a fresh, young, modern and sophisticated and become one of the icons of automotive lifestyle shows that mobility, environmental responsibility and Joie de vivre that is compatible with one another. The smart fortwo has set up a class of its own.

smart fortwo electric drive innovative

New smart fortwo electric drives of the popular brands that will roll from the production line from mid-November 2009 is a logical continuation of a very ambitious goal: production cars, as well as an attractive city-engineering which has no local emissions are zero emission vehicles. emission free smart drive started on the road in London. Since then the 100 smart fortwo electric drives of the first generation of customers has been in operation practical. Feedback from the British capital is very positive and confirms the high level of maturity of this concept vehicle.

Smart fortwo smart drive the second generation of electricity, electric drives ahead with innovative lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion technology has the advantage of determining the types of batteries including higher performance, shorter charging times, long life and high reliability. Marc Langenbrinck, is responsible for the smart brand management, said: “The second generation smart fortwo electric drive concept vehicle is based on a successful and accepted by the inherent characteristics of the character and environment friendly. Drive innovative battery electric smart to make the car perfect for city, agile, economical and climate friendly. Motoring with zero local emissions in urban environments has become a reality this equates to driving fun with a sincere heart. ”

Electric drive is taken into account in the first draft

Electric drives have become part of the concept of intelligent right from the beginning. Integration then from the components required for electric drive planned at a very early stage. For example, there is room for batteries in underfloor between the axle where the tank is located on other smart models. Electric drive module does not limit the available space in the smart fortwo electric drive in any way, just as much interior room and luggage compartments in a smart fortwo with a combustion engine.

Powerful drive

A magneto 30 kW electric motor mounted on the rear of the smart fortwo electric drive is new and react promptly and without delay. Powerful torque of 120 Newtonmetres immediately available. This results in a surprising amount of power when away. Smart fortwo electric drive to speed 00-60 km / h in 6.5 seconds, top speed limited to 100 km / h, speed suitable for the city. Characteristics of electric motors, drives the smart fortwo electric needs only one fixed gear ratio. No need to change gear, a great advantage in a crowded city traffic. To change the rotation of the engine.

The second generation smart fortwo electric drive powered by lithium-ion batteries from Tesla Motors Inc., with a capacity of 14 kWh. It is simple to fill every socket 220 volt fuse.

A fully charged battery is sufficient to up to 115 kilometers from driving fun (NEDC). This range is more than enough for city traffic as cars drive offers an average of 30-40 miles per day in cities. Vehicles only need to be expensed over three hours. Insert a full car will recharge the battery.

Electronic optimize battery power status and power consumption

Special electronics ensure that all is well with the battery. Electronics also monitor the charging process and the power electronics control display.The vehicle capacity of power supply systems with electrical current from the battery through a converter DC / DC. In addition, they also control the heating and air conditioning, for example, to minimize pressure on the battery. Clever drivers can air condition the smart fortwo electric drive in advance for a vehicle is being charged, stationary refrigeration a reality! There are no other cars that offer this convenient option.

The new generation smart fortwo electric drive both the smart fortwo coupé is based on / Cabrio passion. And air conditioning with automatic temperature control devices features all the popular passions of the line equipment is included. In addition to the battery indicator, an ammeter shows energy consumption and recovery.

Very low cost

Based on the German electricity prices to cost around two euros for the smart fortwo electric drive is the drive for 100 kilometers (even cheaper off-peak electricity). Less than two liters of gasoline prices. electric power is much cheaper in many countries. Lower maintenance costs than internal combustion engines such as smart batteries, motors and other components of the electric drive is maintenance free.

Low operating costs, there is further cost advantage in many states and cities. For example, drivers of the smart fortwo electric drive is eligible for national subsidies, tax benefits or exemptions from local toll charges like the cost of congestion in central London.

Smart Fortwo electric drive in big cities in Europe and the United States

Smart Fortwo electric drive will be delivered to selected customers leasing. Leases will be offered for four years and 60,000 miles. The first vehicle was destined for the project “e-mobility Berlin”. Here, in cooperation with the operator RWE energy and with the support of the German government and the city of Berlin Daimleris create the conditions for running a vehicle driven by a battery without local emissions.This including set up power grid of charging stations that allow intelligent communication between electric vehicles and power lines so the battery can be filled in when electricity is cheapest.

Vehicles from the new generation smart fortwo electric drive will take to the streets in Hamburg, Paris, Rome, Milan, Pisa, Madridand will be placed on projects in Europe. Some models in the United States.

There is already a very lively demand for the smart fortwo electric drive, and from 2012 it will be manufactured in large volumes as a normal part of many intelligent and sold through a network of smart dealers. It underlines the role of pioneer of car brands on the way to attract individual mobility with zero local emissions in cities and urban population centers.
