السيارة هذه معقود عليها الأمال لإنقاذ جنرال موترز من الخسائر المتلاحقة وخلني أععطيكم فكرة بسيطة عنها ..
شيفرولية فولت هي سيارة هجينة من المتوقع ان تبصر النور في باريس أو ديترويت ويبدأ بيعها في 2011 إذا كانت البطارية ليثيوم أيون تعمل بالكفاءة المطلوبة ومن المفترض ان تمشي لمسافة 100 ميل وسرعة قصوى تبلغ 120 ميل في الساعة وانطلاق في 8.5 ثواني والسعر في حدود 35 الف دولار والشيء المميز فيها هو مدة شحن البطارية التي تشحن من محرك البترول لمدة 6 ساعات ونصف بحيث يمكن أن تمشى السيارة لمسافة 45 ميل على طاقة البطارية فقط وهي المسافة المقطوعة اليومية لأغلب الناس مما يعني التخلي عن البترول نهائيا عموما لمعرفة المزيد يمكنك قراءة المقال :
General Motors gave Good Morning America a sneak peek at the production Volt plug-in hybrid, which was previewed earlier this year with a single sketch. The segment didn’t reveal any new details about the car, but the production prototype is a lot nicer to look at than the Malibu-bodied Volt “mules” seen by our spy photographers.
The General hopes to have the Volt on sale in late 2010 as a 2011MY model. However, that timing may depend on how well the Lithium Ion batteries development progresses. A task given to Continental Automotive Systems and A123 Systems. It could very well be a 2012MY car by the time Volt’s start rolling down the production line.
One thing we do know for sure if that the Volt will be riding on the next gen Delta chassis. This next gen chassis is also know as GM’s “Global Compact Car Architecture.” According UAW ********s, GM seems set to build the Volt at their Hamtramck plant once the G-body Buick Lucerne and Cadillac DTS cease production.
Price wise, GM was hoping for an MSRP of around $30,000. It now seems that number may be closer to $35,000.
Background
The Volt project is an ambitious one. The aim is to create a vehicle that can deliver the equivalent of over 100 miles per gallon, while offering a top speed of 120 mph, and a zero to sixty time of 8.5 seconds.
The so-called plug-in hybrid aims to have a charge time of 6.5 hours, and a range of 45 miles on batteries alone. For many customers, this could mean the daily commute would require no gasoline.
As with any hybrid, an onboard generator recharges the batteries when the gasoline motor is running. What makes the Volt unique is that’s the only thing the gas motor does — in other words, it never drives the wheels directly. Maximum range — with a full tank of gas and charged batteries — is an impressive 640 miles.
The biggest news on the Volt’s development thus far is that engineers have come up with an algorithm for testing the durability of the batteries that can simulate 10 years of use — 150,000 miles — in just over two years of testing. Tests using the new algorithm are now going on around the clock in Detroit and Germany.
In an interview with Leftlane, Volt director Tony Posawatz indicated that several variations of the Volt could be in store for the future. Not only is the Volt platform being engineered to accommodate a hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain in the future, but interchangeable bodies remain a real possibility. Since the hydrogen layout keeps every component in the same location, it makes it possible for GM to design different body styles — such as a sedan or van — that can be placed on the platform. This versatility means your Volt could be an SUV one day and a two-door coupe the next.
