Volkswagen L1 on Frankfurt ASYesterday in the Frankfurt autoshow Volkswagen presented the supereconomical two-seater pilot model of L1 with hybrid diesel propulsion system . Layout design of cabin of concept-car reminds airplane. Passengers in the salon situated after each other.

Basket of car, including power structure, executed from carbon. L1 weighs only 380 kilograms, speeds up 160 Km\h and on the average outlays a 1,49 liters of diesel fuel on one hundred kilometres. Conceptual L1 throws out only 39 grammes of carbon dioxide per one kilometre of way . Thus a car possesses quite good dynamic descriptions – to one hundred kilometres per a hour L1 arrives per 14,3 seconds. On a side stocked fuels in 10 litres allows to overcome 670 kilometres.

To obtain such indexes, Volkswagens worked thoroughly. Due to that passengers were disposed after each other, to the developers could done quite small the area of transversal section succeeded , a coefficient of aerodynamic resistance of L1 is 0,195. Designers united turbodiesel, electric motor, couplings and sevenstep gear-box DSG in one aggregate and set baskets in a back-end.

The 14-strong motor-generator of alternating current in the hauling mode can work both jointly with a diesel motor (for example, at an intensive acceleration) and regardless of him (at motion on low speeds in corks or in dwellings areas). In last case, L1, as electromobile, moves exceptionally due to electric motive power, DVS from transmission disconnected one of couplings.

A motor-generator works jointly with a lithium-ionic storage battery, located in the forehand of basket. By the way, there is a place for 50-liters luggage rack. Developers talk that a car already is almost ready to the mass production, true, concrete terms while are not named.
