Technical University of Munich (TUM) presented a prototype "affordable and safe" electric vehicle Visio.M.
The premiere news, which was created with the participation of leading experts in the field of the automotive industry, will be held at the Munich exhibition of environmentally friendly vehicles eCarTec.
The overall width and height of a double concept car was 1.55 and 1.31 meters respectively. Weight with battery electric vehicle is 535 kilograms, and the drag coefficient is 0.24.
According to the developers, they tried to make the car as light as possible. In particular, the novelty was a monocoque made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic, and the windows are made of polycarbonate.
Visio.M equipped with a 15-kilowatt electric motor (20 hp) feeding from a set of lithium-ion batteries with a capacity of 13.5 kilowatt-hours. Propulsion system allows the electric vehicle to travel at speeds of up to 120 kilometers per hour and a maximum cruising range was 160 miles. On a full charge the battery from a 230-volt outlet takes three to four hours.
Electropenalties got security systems, including radar and video cameras, scanning the area around the vehicle. "A moment before the inevitable collision" car electronics will activate a special "internal" airbags mounted in the bumpers and doors that absorb impact energy.
In addition, a side collision will work before tightener and the seats automatically move over to the opposite side from the impact.
Visio.M also received an innovative air-conditioning system that does not require a lot of energy. The electrothermal converter operates according to the principle "the Peltier effect" in which the heating or cooling occurs when the current in the point of contact of two different conductors. When a current is passed in one direction generates heat, and if it passes in the opposite direction - the heat is absorbed.
"Our project, we have shown the possibility of building a very easy and safe electric car, the cost of which may be lower than comparable vehicles with internal combustion engines. However, it is too early to talk about the series production Visio.M, since many of the components have not yet adapted for mass production," - said one of the project leaders, Professor Marcus Linkamp.
