In Ford C-MAX Energi, there are 43.3 cubic feet behind the first row and 19.1 cubic feet behind the second row. The quality and ingenuity Although Ford C-MAX cars are new, technology hardware and software are developed in them for nearly two decades. C-MAX line will also benefit from analysis of data from more than 500,000 miles of Ford Escape plug-in test fleet accumulated knowledge engineers who have contributed to hybrid plug-in hybrid vehicles and charges, and as part of fulfilling certain conditions. "The result is an extraordinarily effective system that is fully developed in-house by Ford," said Marakby. "This is crucial because it can be to integrate the development of a highly effective, as opposed to pieces of software and hardware of the various parties in the hope that not only works perfectly, but also produced efficiently." C-MAX C-MAX hybrid Energi get their power through the combination of a gasoline engine and electric motor battery powered. When operating on gasoline, it uses the C-MAX C-MAX hybrid power and the new 2.0-liter Atkinson cycle four-cylinder engine - a powerful, affordable and the most recent non-turbo four-cylinder Ford never offered units. The electric motors of the hybrid C-MAX has been developed by lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery systems for the use of common, high-quality components such as control panels on which the material field-proven performance in the critically acclaimed Ford hybrids to maximize motor vehicles. Li-ion batteries are more efficient than nickel-metal hydride (NiMH). They are also from 25 to 30 percent smaller and uses 50 percent lighter than NiMH batteries in the first generation of today's hybrid vehicles. C-MAX Ford hybrids offer the next generation of patented split architecture, the work of the electric motor and gasoline engine, together or separately, to maximize efficiency. The engine can also function independently of vehicle speed, battery charge or power to the wheels as needed. The engine can not have enough power to the wheels at low speed to provide the base load and work with the engine at high speed. In the hybrid C-MAX, the Li-ion battery is recharged while the engine is running. Furthermore, the regenerative braking system captures more than 95 percent of the braking energy that would otherwise be lost, and is able to use this power to recharge the battery. C-MAX hybrid requires no plug-in is loaded. Ford C-MAX Energi is obtained by connecting the vehicle to load external charging jack is a standard 120 volt or 240 volt charging station available.

MyKey provides a warning signal when the driver when and front passenger are not attached. Systems C-MAX hybrid safety standards and driver assistance technologies, including Curve Control designed to slow the vehicle if it is too fast cornering and control torque vectoring acceleration through a turn if necessary. AdvanceTrac ® with Roll Stability Control ™ (RSC) and the electric power steering (EPAS) is standard.
There are many hybrids on the market, but none of them can compete with the Volvo V60 plug-in hybrid. First plug-in diesel hybrid world of Volvo Car Corporation is the most technologically advanced than ever - an electric car, hybrid cars and muscle cars, all in one. At the touch of a button you can choose the three you want to drive your car at some point. The production version of the Volvo V60 plug-in hybrid will be launched in a single color in your life - Electric Silver. Sales are under way in early 2012 and the first cars will be built in the fall. "He's our plug-in hybrid has received considerable attention since it was presented at the Geneva Motor Show 2011. Now, we take the next step, the production version, which is decorated with a unique profile with a medal silver spectacular, is a unique interior and generous standard equipment, "said Stefan Jacoby, President and CEO of Volvo Car Corporation. The first units of the 1000 Volvo V60 plug-in hybrid electric only available in silver. The car is also available from the aero-designed 17-inch wheels, integrated tailpipes and a set of shiny black body, as the grille and aerodynamic spoiler. The chrome "plug-in hybrid" badge will be located on the bottom of the tailgate and a smaller version on the front wings. Exclusive Interiors The interior of the Volvo V60 plug-in hybrid has black leather upholstery with contrasting stitching and wood inlays, blue-gray. Other details of the interior of a large, leather-wrapped steering wheel, shift knob and a special pad integrated turn signals. The list of standard equipment include features such as steering speed-sensitive, electrically adjustable driver seat, front and rear sensors for parking, Bluetooth phone connection and Volvo On Call. Standard is high performance multimedia DVD-Audio 4x40 watts amplifier with its system, eight speakers and a seven-inch. Smartphone App The plug-in hybrid V60 is the first Volvo to start with a monitor driver information fully digital (Sun). Traditional analog gauges offer through one piece LED display a variety of display options have been replaced. The driver can choose to show what additional information on the car setup menu. E 'can also communicate with the vehicle via a mobile application. This gives the owner access to a multitude of intelligent features such as air conditioning, pre-cooling and after cooling, and a memory connected to the charger if it has not been done by a predetermined time. The first Volvo D6 with the badge On the tailgate, there is a characteristic of self-D6. The reason for this is that the combined power of the engine and five-cylinder turbo diesel engine and electric motor, the machine detects the same performance range as gasoline T6. The front wheels of the Volvo V60 plug-in hybrid from a five-cylinder-2 ,4-liter turbo diesel 215 hp and maximum torque of 440 Nm driven. The car has a six-speed automatic transmission. The rear axle is driven by an electric motor of 70 hp. The electric motor has an installed capacity of 11.2 kWh lithium-ion battery under the floor of the hold. The stylish and compact battery consists of 10 modules of 20 cells. An integrated computer system that monitors and compares the temperature and charge state in each of 200 cells. The battery has an integrated cooling water from air units self-guided. Three driving modes - one in three cars The driver selects the desired shooting via three buttons that give the car, three completely different temperaments: Pure, Hybrid and Power. Pure mode the car only by its electric motor power as much as possible. If the battery is recharged with electricity from renewable energy sources once, is its range of up to 50 km and emissions of carbon dioxide are zero. The electric field varies with the style of the soil, climate and driving. Hybrid is the default when the machine is started. The diesel engine and electric motor work together to ensure an optimal balance between driving pleasure and environmental footprint. CO2 emissions (NEDC, combined driving cycle for the certification) is 49g/km that the fuel consumption of 1.9l/100km. The car has a total range of up to 1,000 km. Power mode, the technology is optimized for maximum performance of the car. The diesel engine and electric motor has an output of 215 hp and 70 with a maximum torque of 440 Nm electric motor 200 is the contribution of the instantaneous torque, the car accelerates from 0 to 100km / h in 6.2 seconds. Save the batteries for the next The driver can choose to save the life of the battery, to focus on pure electricity as a result of the disk, like green or in an urban area in the heart of a city. If saving is enabled, the embedded system ensures there is always enough power to feed later in the Pure mode. If necessary, the high voltage generator to the battery, so there is sufficient capacity to conduct Pure mode. The goal is saving mode must ensure there is enough battery power for about 20 km of electric power alone. Download at home - in the pre-cooling or heating The Volvo V60 plug-in hybrid can be a normal wall socket (230V/6A, 10A or 16A) is charged at home or in a parking lot again. The charging time depends on the amperage. A full charge takes 4.5 hours with 10A. It is cut to 3.5 hours with 16A, 6A, while a charge requires 7.5 hours. It is also possible to offer while recharging the car to heat or cool the interior of a comfortable home for the holidays. It also means that more electricity is used for the actual conduct of the car. Preconditioning can also be used to cool the batteries. The ideal temperature for the battery is 20-30 ° C. This means that cooling is very important before driving to maximize independence, and therefore large. The plug-in hybrid Volvo V60 is equipped with two heating systems. In the electrical operation of the vehicle is warming (positive temperature coefficient) of PTC. The car also has a diesel heater. Better able to withdraw all-wheel drive (AWD) Pressing the button activates the power-AWD four-wheel drive. Instead of conventional power drive wheel mechanical power transmission between the control unit distributes power the diesel engine to the front wheels and rear axle with electric drive. The electric drive system with four wheels has been developed to provide a better grip on startup and when driving on slippery roads, as in snow or mud. However, due to the lower power the electric motor, the torque is limited to the rear wheels and all-wheel drive is enabled up to 120 km / h. When all-wheel drive is activated, the diesel engine runs continuously and the generator ensures that the battery level is sufficient to provide the rear axle with the necessary energy. The electric four-wheel drive is activated by the pilot, if necessary, is cheaper than the traditional four-wheel drive. A braking system Two-stage A two-tier system of intelligent braking is another feature of the Volvo plug-in hybrid. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the brake system of the rear axle of the electric motor. This energy is then used to brake the car to recharge the battery. The mechanical brakes are activated only when the situation needs to provide more stopping power than the rear. Great interest that the first round of the Volvo V60 plug-in hybrid will sell like hot cakes Volvo Car Corporation is about to introduce the Volvo V60 plug-in hybrid - a car battery diesel hybrid that the company is the most technologically advanced ever. Production is underway in November 2012 and the first model in volume this year is limited to 1000 copies. You will be offered with pure specifications Limited, whose highest level of finish Summum. The price for the first plug-in hybrid with a diesel engine is equal to 57 000, depending on the particular market. "There is great interest in the market. We believe that the first thousand cars are sold even before production will come next fall, "said Stefan Jacoby, President and CEO of Volvo Car Corporation. He adds: "With the V60 plug-in hybrid, we are strengthening our leadership in the electrification. None of our competitors can offer its customers a brilliant car. Increases hybrid technology to a new level. " The Volvo V60 plug-in hybrid is the result of close cooperation between Volvo Cars and Swedish utility Vattenfall. The development project was funded jointly by the two companies. "We are proud to launch this unique car with Volvo. The plug-in hybrid confirmed that electricity is the fuel for the transportation future, "says Øystein loses, CEO of Vattenfall. The largest Nordic market After the first batch of 1000 cars 2013 model year, production of the Volvo V60 plug-in hybrid car model year 4000 to 6000 to 2014, has increased. About 30 percent of the total will go to Sweden and other Nordic countries. Germany, Switzerland, will be in Belgium, France, Netherlands and United Kingdom accounted for 5-15 percent of the capital. "We expect the books to fill very quickly. The most demanding customers have a lot of exclusive cars to choose from. But if you really want in a league of its own at the wheel of the most ingenious cars to be in the world, are only Our the V60 plug-in hybrids, "said Stefan Jacoby. Electrifying temporary presence Among other things, the Volvo V60 plug-in hybrid will be launched by the presence of "electrifying" temporary large-scale places. They appear in places like Stockholm, Berlin and London. The idea is that customers must take the car, where they feel most comfortable. Polls show that the most important target group for the Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid include customers who love new technology and are the only ones present. The car is ideal for customers who want superior environmental performance, without any of the luxury cars of quality modern hotel. Volvo Car Corporation expects that 80 percent of total sales are in the form of company cars. Starter Pack includes Vattenfall Vattenfall offers owners of this new car is a starter pack with 100 percent renewable electricity from Vattenfall's own production facilities and a wall charging station generates. The Starter Pack will be in the core markets of Vattenfall in Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands provided. "Neither the economy nor society to climate change can go it alone. This is the Volvo Car Corporation the contract for cars with low emissions of carbon dioxide for development, but it is for society as a whole for future sustainable creation. This project demonstrates how collaboration between experts in different fields are closer to a passage of each low-carbon products of a lifestyle intelligent climate, "said Stefan Jacoby. Superior technology From the ecological point of view, the hybrid plug-in is much greater than the first generation of hybrid cars, which in principle to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide by 15 percent during the same model without hybrid disc. In hybrid mode, the large battery in the Volvo V60 Plug-in hybrids are 65 percent fewer emissions of carbon dioxide a classic with the same V60 diesel engine: 49 g / km. This corresponds to a fuel consumption of just 1.9 l/100 km of fuel. Moreover, the degree to choose a button, the driver, up to 50 miles on pure electricity - or the combined capacity of the diesel engine and electric motor to use a real car driving, 70 hp and 215 Nm of torque create 440 200. "At the request can choose from three different temperaments of the car, the V60 plug-in hybrid makes it better for all hybrids on the market. Thank you to Pure, Hybrid and Power keys, this car is the perfect choice to combine uncompromising customer orientation, the minimum carbon dioxide emissions with a maximum driving pleasure, "said Stefan Jacoby. A study of daily driving time shows that the majority of European drivers cover less than 50 miles per day, for example, to work and back. Longer trips, the diesel engine, the car offers the same range as a conventional hybrid - but with much lower emissions of carbon dioxide.
