Chevrolet Volt MPV5
Chevrolet Auto China sets 2010 as an intermediate step in preparation for the arrival of the Volt. The start today in Beijing exhibition will present the conceptual model electric Volt MPV5. Versatile five-seater crossover serve as a demonstration of the potential of the propulsion system Voltec, using the same basic technology for electric movement without harmful emissions such as Volt. Conceptual design of the Volt MPV5 takes styling and aerodynamic elements of the Chevrolet Volt. Front of the crossover is one of the most aerodynamic in its class, thanks to the closed grille and optimized in terms of bottom drag. Each of these elements improves the efficiency of the car and reduces fuel consumption. Fully covered bed of the vehicle, aerodynamic “shields” the elements of the suspension, tail lights, following the contours of the body, and specially optimized elements in the rear to reduce drag Volt MPV5. This very active approach to aerodynamic optimization enables extending the range in all-electric propulsion. However, the effectiveness was not the only goal in forming the exterior. Blue metallic paint creates a sense of modernism, and the two transparent parts of the roof and 19-inch wheels, whose design is inspired by those of the Volt, contribute to the sporty feel which creates style of Volt MPV5.
The dimensions of the concept Volt MPV5 provide additional comfort for passengers. While the Volt MPV5 wheelbase length of 2760 mm. is only 15 mm. greater than that of the Chevrolet Volt, a body with 181 mm longer (4585 mm), by 73 mm wider (1871 mm)and with 182 mm higher (1612 mm) than the Volt. The interior of the Volt MPV5 can be found on the center console adaptation of the Volt, combined with striking two-tone leather seats. Due to the size of the Volt MPV5, passengers have enough space and excellent comfort. Typical crossover of Chevrolet, Concept Volt MPV5 offers passengers and tremendous flexibility and opportunity for easy access and exit the car. Concerning the ability to load, Volt MPV5 offers all the benefits it provides ample space, thanks to folding rear seats, freight volume reached 1764. In the upright load space is 864 liters. The concept Volt MPV5 using adapted propulsion system Voltec, which used Chevrolet Volt. It includes additional possibility to increase the mileage by using a motorized internal combustion engine electric generator, thus eliminating the worrying about the danger of exhausting the battery at the wrong time. Lithium-ion battery pack with T-shape and capacity of 16 kWh powered electric traction. The flexibility of the system allows Voltec concept Volt MPV5 to meet the requirements for speed and acceleration while providing a run of five passengers of 51.5 km. a purely electric drive. This distance is more than twice higher than the average daily traveled by motorists driving in the cities of China every day. When the batteries, 1.4-liter gasoline engine driven generator, which supports and provides capacity of up to 482 km mileage.
