Protoscar unveils its electric sports car prototype LAMPO2 at the Geneva Motor Show 2010
LAMPO2 is an electric demonstration sports car conceived by Protoscar, a Swiss company which has been developing CleanCar projects for 23 years including consulting of OEMs, power utilities and governments. The LAMPO2 boasts 'quick-charging' capability (up to 100 km range extension in just 10 minutes charging time) and will be presented at the Geneva Motor Show (2nd March 2010) on the e'mobile stand Nr. 5141.LAMPO2 is an even more energy efficient successor to the LAMPO demonstration vehicle presented in 2009. Weight, aerodynamics and the efficiency of individual components of the BRÚSA drive train have been further optimized in order to reach a world-class energy consumption of less than 100Wh/km-ton under real conditions. LAMPO2 is equipped wîth 4 different charging modes:
• standard single-phase wîth up to 3,3kW on board charger for typical overnight home-charge,
• 'control-pilot' equipped and (EDF provided) PLC single-phase wîth 6,6kW on board charger typical for public charging,
• standard three-phase 9,9kW on board charger typical for charging at industrial plugs (fleet-owners) and
• an interface for DC fast charging (able to transmit a max. power of 80kW), where up to 100km of additional range can be charged within just 10 minutes, by an off-board system, so that the different solutions can be compared in terms of usability and efficiency by being demonstrated in real conditions.
LAMPO2 will be shown together wîth different charging infrastructure solutions: a smart home charge device (developed wîth ALPIQ), the public charging station E-TOTEM and the quick-charging station (developed wîth ABB and Brusa).LAMPO2 impressively demonstrates that electric drive-trains are mature and perform sufficiently well to be a solution for all types of vehicles, not just city cars. This includes premium cars, the §egmènt through which most new technologies have successfully been introduced into the market.

In addition to BRÚSA, which supplies the components of the whole drive train, the main partners and sponsors of the LAMPO2 project are ALPIQ (the leading Swiss company in power generation and distribution, which is actively promoting the goal of 15% of electric vehicles in Switzerland by 2020), the German Fraunhofer Institute IAO (EV-specific features and MMI, as well as optimization of the ergonomics), ABB (DC fast-charging technology) and the Swiss Federal Office of Energy.Technical details LAMPO2 has two electric motors (allowing it to operate as a four-wheel drive wîth variable torque between front and rear axle for optimal handling, safety and efficiency) wîth a total output of 260 kW (equivalent to 350 HP), 600 Nm (50% more than its predecessor!) and over 30 kWh of Lithium-Ion battery capacity. LAMPO2 features real sports-car performances: 5 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h, 200 km/h of max. speed and a range of over 200 km. More than enough energy for driving is produced by a remote solar plant which is installed on the roof of a farm in Tuscany, allowing a real zero-emission drive on a 'Well-to-Wheel' basis.Source - Protoscar

Protoscar will compare these different systems in terms of usability and efficiency by demonstrations in real conditions.
LAMPO2 has two electric motors (allowing it to operate as a four-wheel drive wîth variable torque between front and rear axle for optimal handling, safety and efficiency) wîth a total output of 300 kW (equivalent to 408 HP), 640 Nm (50% more than its predecessor!) and over 30 kWh of Lithium-Ion battery capacity. LAMPO2 features real sports-car performances: 5 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h, 200 km/h of max. speed and a range over 200 km.Source - Protoscar| Land Rover Celebrates 65 Years Of Technology And Innovation | |

| NISSAN LEAF NISMO RC (RACING COMPETITION) TAKES ZERO EMISSION STRATEGY TO A NEW DIMENSION - THE RACE TRACK | |
 | The name on the back panel, just under the massive adjustable rear wing, says Nissan LEAF. The powertrain is an 100 percent zero emission advanced Lithium-ion battery design, just like that found on the world's first affordable mass market electric vehicle. And despite its lack of rear doors, rear seat, trunk, audio system, navigation, carpeting and other amenities, there is a discernable family resemblance. But that is where the similarities between the production Nissan LEAF and the Nissan...[Read more...] |
