Along with the 100th birthday celebrations, General Motors (GM) then introduced the Chevrolet Volt. Sedan-based hybrid petrol and electric engine, called E-REV (Extended-Range Electric Vehicle). "Volt symbolizes GM's commitment to the future to provide the best technological innovation of our industry to respond to energy and environmental challenges," said Rick Wagoner, GM Chairman and CEO.
On the awareness function
Design of the Chevrolet Volt production version is derived from the concept car GM first introduced in the North American International Auto Show 2007 in Detroit, United States. This Aerodinamica elements better and more efficient after a revised again by GM designers.
Some parts of the car concept is applied to the production version - planned 2010 - applied to the production version. Among other things created a closed front grille, athletic body contour of the outside mirror and rear indentations.
A rounded body design coupled gril which aims to facilitate the flow of wind functional. Including the back with broken pieces and placed spoiler, serves to accelerate the release of wind flow. The corner of the window that looked aggressively designed to reduce turbulence and resistance.
Aerodynamic perfection achieved after testing by the designers of the tunnel angina (the wind tunnel) hundreds of hours. The goal is to Volt production version capable of reaching targets as far as 64 km cruise (EPA standards) without using gasoline and produce emissions.
To travel more than 64 km, the Volt is driven by a lithium-ion batteries which have a powerful 16-cell 220 kWh. When the battery runs out of energy, machinery gasoline/E85 (ethanol) will change its function as a generator at the same time while driving on electric power until the battery is fully charged again.
Volt battery electric energy can also be filled at home. For 240V mains voltage, charging only takes three hours. While the 120V voltage required eight hours.
Interior
Volt offers spacious rooms equipped with safety features that consumers expect in a four-passenger sedan. Alloy interior color, lighting and trim, was never found in the previous Chevrolet sedan.
Modern controls and attractive materials, two screens of information, and a touch-sensitive screen as the information center in the cabin Volt is not owned vehicles sold in the market today. Then with hard drive navigation system, plus Bluetooth for cellular phone usage.
Interestingly, the Volt electric engine capable of generating a maximum power of 150 hp with torque reaching 370 Nm. While that could reach a maximum speed reached 160 km / hr. When performing this play, do not bring Volt mechanical sound like a conventional gasoline car.
Chevrolet Volt planned to be produced at GM's manufacturing facility in the Detroit-Hamtramck early 2010 for a special model that will sell the U.S. market. GM has not announced pricing for a while selling Chevrolet Volt.
