The four-seater sports car Vision EfficientDynamics. Now, it was announced that the roundabouts will go into production. 2013 in Leipzig, the first copies roll off the line. BMW is building the plant for the first location for the mass production of emissions-free electric cars in Germany. By 2013 there are approximately 400 million euros in new buildings and equipment for the production of the so-called Mega City Vehicle (MCV) was invested.
The concept study of the IAA 2009 was a high 1.24 2 2-seater. Doors facilitate entry into both rows of seats, a B-pillar is missing. Comprehensive measures to reduce the aerodynamic drag coefficient of 0.22. The combination drive consists of a three-cylinder turbo diesel with a hybrid synchronous motor on the front axle. With an additional full-hybrid drive at the rear a system performance of 241 kilowatts respectively 328 HP is generated. It can accelerate from zero to 100 km are to meet 4.8 seconds. The average fuel consumption, BMW with 3.76 liters per 100 kilometers, or 99 grams of CO2 per kilometer.
The BMW Vision EfficientDynamics is designed as a plug-in hybrid. A specially developed and stored in the centrally located chassis element of lithium-polymer battery, the electrical energy. It can be recharged in two and a half hours on a conventional power supply. Purely electric, the study is 50 km away. A 25-liter stainless fuel tank to extend the reach of the vehicle up to 700 kilometers. Already, a first driving efficient technology platform based on the study will be tested.
