Saab 9-3 ePower Concept

Saab Automobile is taking its first step towards developing an all-electric vehicle with the Saab 9-3 ePower. Making its public debut at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, the Saab 9-3 ePower is the prototype for a test fleet of 70 vehicles which will participate in extensive field trials in Sweden in early 2010.

The performance of the cars will be evaluated under a variety of real world driving conditions as part of the development process for a purpose-built, electric Saab vehicle. Targets to be verified include a projected driving range of approximately 200 kilometers through the use of high density energy storage in lithium-ion battery cells.

The Saab ePower is the first electric vehicle from Saab and is a result of a co-operation between Saab Automobile, Boston Power (batteries), Electroengine in Sweden AB (electric power trains), Innovatum (project management) and Power Circle (Sweden's electric power industry trade organization).

Mid-sized sports combi with zero emissions

The Saab 9-3 ePower is the first all-electric car to offer its occupants the comfort and size of a wagon bodystyle. Saab engineers have integrated an electrical architecture within the shape and dimensions of a 'conventional' Saab 9-3 SportCombi.

Under the hood is a 135 kW/184 hp electric motor driving the front wheels through a single-speed transmission. Instant torque enables zero to 100 km/h acceleration is just 8.5 seconds, together with a top speed of 150 km/h.

The compact yet powerful 35.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack is accommodated in a modified floor-pan, mainly in space within the car's wheelbase previously occupied by the exhaust system and fuel tank. This enables an optimum weight distribution and excellent driving dynamics similar to those of a standard SportCombi.

Inside the cabin, a conventional, automatic-style gearshift lever provides selection of 'drive', 'neutral', 'park' and 'reverse'. The rev-counter, fuel and turbo boost displays in the main instrument cluster are replaced by read-outs for battery status, power consumption and driving range, all illuminated in green. To optimize space, an electric park brake is fitted.

Electro-hydraulic power steering is used and the cabin is equipped with full air conditioning, via a compressor powered by the battery pack. A separate 12-volt battery, for the lights and cabin ancillaries, is also charged from the battery pack via a current transformer

The operation of the vehicle's powertrain is controlled by a version of Saab's own in-house Trionic 8 engine management system, with new software written for an electric vehicle application.

Long driving range with excellent durability

The Saab 9-3 ePower's projected driving range of approximately 200 kilometers pushes out the boundaries for current EV performance. Key to its long range are battery cells which have an energy storage density substantially greater than the best currently used in EV applications. High energy density also contributes to a lower battery weight.

The battery pack has a capacity of 35.5 kW/h and is designed to operate with full power in ambient temperatures as low as -30ºC, at least 10ºC below the operating level of other battery packs on the market today. Another key benefit is the use of air, instead of liquid, cooling which contributes to lower cost and further weight-saving in the pack's design.

The pack is intended to support re-charge cycles equivalent to about ten years average use. It can be fully recharged from a domestic mains supply in about three to six hours, depending on depletion status. Charging times can be greatly reduced if the voltage of the electrical feed is raised, as there is no limitation on the battery's input capacity.

Test driving experience is expected to validate the performance of this advanced battery pack, which is designed to operate reliably within a full depletion 'buffer' set at only 12 percent of total capacity, a much lower operating margin than used in the management of other packs.

Its lithium-ion battery cells are also the first to receive a Nordic Ecolabel accreditation for their environmental safety and sustainability, which includes manufacturing processes.

The Saab 9-3 ePower meets the high crash worthiness standards that Saab applies to all its vehicles. The car's power pack is located outside the occupant compartment in non-deformable structural zones, well protected and encapsulated. The battery management and monitoring system supports safe performance during normal driving and in crash conditions.

Extensive user trials

Hundreds of drivers and their families will be enlisted by Saab and its development partners during a extensive test driving and evaluation program involving a 70-strong fleet of Saab 9-3 ePowers in central, west and eastern Sweden during 2011-12.

The Saab ePower project team in Trollhättan will monitor the performance of the cars across a wide variety of usage patterns and driving conditions. To log essential component data, all vehicles will be equipped with aircraft-style, black box recorders.

"This program is designed to evaluate the potential for developing a high performance, zero emission electric vehicle and is an important next-step in the extension of our EcoPower propulsion strategy," says Mats Fägerhag, Executive Director, Vehicle Engineering at Saab Automobile, "This includes engine rightsizing, which exploits Saab expertise in turbocharging, as well as the use of alternative fuel, such as bio-ethanol through Saab BioPower technology."

Jan Åke Jonsson, Saab Automobile's CEO adds: "By 2015, annual global sales of electric vehicles are expected to reach 500,000 units and Saab is determined to be represented in this important, growing segment. The Saab 9-3 ePower program is our first step towards developing a potential production vehicle that will deliver the sort of advanced performance our customers expect. We now look forward to working with our technical partners in developing such a product."

Peugeot Sport profited from the final round of the 2008 Le Mans Series at Silverstone to unveil a Peugeot 908 HDi FAP equipped with a hybrid power plant, featuring a kinetic energy recovery system. The Peugeot 908HY was presented in a new, specific silver-grey livery and will provide a foretaste of what Peugeot's next endurance racing challenger could resemble, although its use will depend on the regulations that will govern LMP 1 cars from 2009.

The Peugeot 908HY's technology enables a proportion of the kinetic energy produced under braking to be either recovered or stored. In the case of a non-hybrid car, this energy is lost and simply dissipated in the form of heat via the brakes. However, when harnessed, it enables the vehicle's efficiency to be improved in one of two ways:

= Enhanced performance with no increase in the amount of energy consumed, thanks to the combination of the stored mechanical energy and the energy produced by the internal combustion engine
= Reduced fuel consumption for the same level of performance, thanks to the availability of stored mechanical energy

The system featured on this demonstrator comprises three key elements:
= A 60 kW gear-driven electric motor-generator which takes the place of the conventional starter motor
= Batteries which permit recovered energy to be stored in 600 lithium-ion cells divided into 10 battery packs (six in the cockpit instead of the conventional battery and four on the left-hand side of the floor pan)
= An electronic power converter (located in the rear part of the front left wing) which controls the flow of energy between the batteries and the motor-generator

The Peugeot 908HY can be powered in one of three ways:
= Electric mode only (e.g. in the pit-lane)
= Internal combustion engine only
= A combination of the two

In the course of a lap of Le Mans, for example, the system will recuperate energy for between 20 and 30 seconds. This energy reserve can be used for either delivering extra power thanks to an additional boost of 60 kW (80 bhp) for approximately 20 seconds per lap, either automatically when re-accelerating or when the driver chooses to make use of it ('push to pass') or to reduce fuel consumption for the equivalent level of performance thanks to the mechanical energy recovered (between three and five per cent)

Michel Barge (Peugeot Sport, Director): "This hybrid Peugeot 908HY is in perfect keeping with the overall mission of our endurance racing programme which covers not only the challenge of competing, of course, but also the fact that as a car manufacturer we can use motor sport as a research and development tool for the Peugeot brand as a whole. After innovating through the use of our HDi FAP technology in competition, running a hybrid car in endurance racing would give Peugeot a chance to gain extremely valuable experience that would benefit the development of production cars. Whether we use this technology or not in 2009 will obviously depend on the details of the new regulations published by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest."

Peugeot 107 love for the city dates back to the Spring of 2005, though it is more than happy to take the motorway out of town... With more than 322,000 units produced (to the end of September 2008) and owners among the best ambassadors of its numerous qualities, the Peugeot 107 provides an efficient and clever response to the needs of urban mobility and does so with a smile on its face.

The Peugeot 107 is attractive
Its fun-and-youthful appearance, multiple body colours and cute-shaped headlamps light up the road as well as the lives of its customers. For these customers, style counts for much in their choice of car and still remains a strong decisive factor.

The Peugeot 107 offers key benefits
Its handling and low running costs, important and distinctive criteria of choice in its segment, together with its stylish appearance and affordable purchase price, result in a user satisfaction level way above the market average.

The Peugeot 107 expresses youthfulness
Like most vehicles in this category it is purchased as a second or third car in the family, the 107 stands out from the competition particularly by the prevalence of owners who are females in its customer base (69%, a quarter of them under the age of 35), a higher proportion of single people living with their parents and a lower proportion of retired people.

As 2009 approaches, the new Peugeot 107 increases its appeal:
= continues to deliver key benefits
= enhances these features
= enriches its specification

2010 PEUGEOT 407 Coupe

Click Thumbnail to download (size 1600 x 1200 pixels)

A stylish design combining driving exhilaration has long been a key attribute of Peugeot vehicles, and with cars like the Peugeot 407 Coupé, utilises the company's expertise to the full.

Launched in 2005, the Peugeot 407 Coupé is the latest in a long tradition of prestige Coupés produced by Peugeot, where style plays a key role, combining stature and refinement to create a product capable of long-distance touring with comfort and high performance developments.

This stature is expressed initially through the coupé's suspension dynamics, with dual wishbones and a drop link at the front and multi-arm rear suspension; the Peugeot 407 Coupé produces superb road holding, is acknowledged for its grip, progressive control, dynamism and ride comfort.

Stature is also appropriate in terms of the choice of high-performance engines, including a new V6 HDi PEF version at the top of the diesel range that is powerful, flexible and economical.

In keeping with today's demands, the Peugeot 407 Coupé features a range of engine and transmission choices that ensure that 'driver involvement' is aligned more closely with 'environmental responsibilities'.

The new V6 HDi PEF 3.0-litre engine, coupled with a 6-speed sequential automatic gearbox, develops a maximum power output of 177 kW (241 bhp) at 3,800 rpm supplemented by maximum torque of 450 Nm from 1,600 rpm - a value which remains unchanged up to 3,600 rpm. With this engine, the Peugeot 407 Coupé becomes the most powerful production vehicle ever constructed by Peugeot in its 120 years history as a car manufacturer.

The level of performance it produces (80 to 120 kph in 4.7 seconds; 0 to 100kph (62mph) in 7.7 seconds.) is matched by good fuel economy, in comparison to competitors. Compared to the 2.7-litre V6 HDi it replaces, the 3.0-litre reduces fuel consumption by more than 15% (while power is increased by 18%), and a combined cycle rate of 7.2 litres/100 km (39.2MPG) or 189 g/km of CO2 (instead of the 225 g/km previously).

Equipped with the particle emissions filter (PEF) and compliant to Euro 5 standards, this supreme engine technology demonstrates that driving pleasure does not have to come at the expense of compromising fuel consumption and emissions.

The 3.0-litre HDi V6 is distinguished on the outside by two oval exhaust pipes, arranged symmetrically on either side of the rear bumper diffuser.

The new 2.0-litre HDi PEF 120 kW (163 bhp) at 3,750 rpm is coupled with a 6-speed manual gearbox. With this power and a maximum torque of 340 Nm (constant between 2,000 and 3,000 rpm), this 4 cylinder engine is the perfect counterpart to the V6 HDi PEF and brings genuine appeal for its combined attributes in terms of purchase price, running costs and a top-of-the-range specification. This new engine, which has 20% more power than the previous 2.0-litre HDi, in the Peugeot 407 Coupé is particularly environmentally-friendly in its category with a fuel consumption of 5.4 litres/100 km (52.3MPG), with 140 g/km of CO2 in the Combined Cycle (a reduction of 8.5%).

Benefiting from the arrival of these new engines, the elegant and refined style of the Peugeot 407 Coupé is subtly enhanced by chrome trim spanning the entire upper section of the side windows. Another development is the door mirrors which are now larger to offer better rear vision, conforming to new legislative standards. Finally, the Coupé's WIP Com and WIP Nav telematics (accessible satellite navigation and Bluetooth™ hands-free kit) and the all new WIP Bluetooth (option coupled with WIP Sound radio featuring USB connector and hands-free kit) equipment are now available.

In France, the Peugeot 407 Coupé is available in two trim levels (Sport and Féline) and a special series (with Navteq). It is priced as follows:
= 33,350 euros for the 2.0-litre HDi PEF 120 kW (163 bhp)
= 47,600 euros for the V6 3.0-litre HDi PEF 177 kW (241 bhp)
