environmental awareness expressed by Governments, local authorities and citizens, combined with the development of new energy storage technologies, today provides the electric vehicle is a new opportunity to take root in cities and their periphery .

Peugeot, the world leader in electric vehicles compared to the number of 106s sold Electric, taking another step in reducing emissions in the marketing of the ion, the first new generation 100% electric vehicles.

Ion, designed as the ideal car for city and suburb, is intended primarily for utilities and businesses, but also to individuals.

This race around the city package combines remarkable interior space with good management, unprecedented and safety standards, and a high level of comfort with a generous standard equipment. Then there are the rewards of Electrical Technology, namely the unprecedented silence, the absence of CO2 emissions and exceptional driveability.

You can drive my way to experience a new peace generated by the machine quiet, no transmission of vibration and the simplicity of no gear changes. What's more, the immediate availability of maximum torque allows efficient linear acceleration that makes driving in traffic a lot easier.

RANGE

Thank you to the energy management of its lithium-ion energy and optimized by the deceleration and braking, the interval in the cycle European standard is 150 km. In practice, this is sufficient to cover most conductive pathways per day, of which 90% is actually less than 60 km.

It 's hard for 6 hours the battery again, using the traditional plug appliances. Fast-charge time with a special charging unit offers a 50% pay only fifteen minutes, or 80% in thirty minutes. Considering that a normal car parked about 90% of the time when you used to urban or semi-urban areas, time to load ion is entirely consistent with what motorists are accustomed to.

OPERATING COSTS UNBEATABLE

When you run between � 1.50 and � 2.00 per 100 km, the ion energy bill is unbeatable, whatever the state of charge used.Carried at night or during "rush hours" to get the costs can be reduced further and help to optimize the available electricity from power companies.

No compromise on safety

Standard equipment - six airbags, ESP, Electronic Brake force (REF), EBA (Emergency) - and the design of its structure, giving iOn the same level of security as a modern classic car.

The planning stages, a strong focus on safety and durability of electrical transmission. Battery components are included in a rigid container tightly sealed, placed under the passenger floor as the protection of a collision, the region takes the shape change. This also improves the car's weight distribution, calculating the center of gravity.

Recharging the battery or by a special unit or fast charge through a standard electrical outlet with a special cord is automatically adjusted according to the parameters monitored individual battery cells.

Services to LIFE

Also, the latest generation of electronic technology, ion contains the latest computer technologies to offer the Peugeot Connect services.

"All Inclusive" offer mobility

ion is based primarily on marketing all-inclusive "movement of the offer. For example: In France, this offer will last for five years and cost � 499 including VAT per month, which includes the machine and battery life - 5 year warranty, which covers the battery and power train - Maintenance and repair five years or 50000 km - Special electrical service - Peugeot Electric Plug guide services and access to mobility program Mu Peugeot.

Customer clear interest

Local authorities and governments are in favor of incorporating this new technology with the help of the State and by installing a program from a charging infrastructure. These authorities are also potential customers with its own fleet of vehicles and projects car-sharing that have been scheduled in several cities.

To date, Peugeot has already signed letters of intent with fifteen mobility operators, utilities, rent and car sharing companies in several European countries.

Several individuals from the website link to specific ions, these people are also interested in 100% of electric technology, as proposed by the established manufacturers such as Peugeot.

2011 SEAT Leon Ecomotive Review

Seat Leon Ecomotive presents the latest technologies, such as the headquarters for the first time the Start / Stop technology, Brake Energy and Recovery. Elegant brand new five-seat Spanish emphasizes self-determination leading to the area of ??environmentally responsible motoring.

It is perhaps not surprising that the recent Leo sees its CO2 emissions of just 99 g / km (the same as the original Ibiza Ecomotive), while the combined fuel economy figure of 74.3 mpg, giving a series of nearly 900 miles between Leon full.

Even in the city with an official figure of 60.1 miles per gallon in urban areas, the new owners of the Leon Ecomotive, which we expect much less frequent refueling stops.

Among the key features of the economy improved the car's performance and emissions, compared to the already economical Ecomotive Leon is leaving his use of a new 1.6-liter TDI engine with common rail technology and last (DPF Filter Particulate) new start / stop technology and new SEAT Brake Energy Recovery System.

A speedometer recommended helps the operator select the optimum ratio for economic surveillance, whereas low rolling resistance tires on the new economy Leon boost. Subtle but important improvements to Leo already slippery aerodynamic shape ECOMOTIVE complete treatment.

Despite a drop in the engine, the new engine meets EU5 Leon still offers up to 105 horsepower - but thanks to their new car emissions have fallen off - exactly the same power as the previous 1.9-turbo diesel engine liters of 119 g / km in the DAV-busting figure of only 99 g / km at present.

sacrificing performance in the pursuit of economic out-and-out was never the way SEAT, obviously, it is perhaps not surprising that the new time of 0-62 mph Leon Ecomotive remains RAM 11.5 seconds while top speed is a very generous 118 mph.

Driving the front wheels via a five-speed manual transmission with reports specifically tailored to the needs of motorsport involving yet Leon ECOMOTIVE economic engine is now even more refined, too.

The lion is, however, share a place in the spotlight this week with other newcomers Ecomotive badged as much as the new Ecomotive Altea and Altea XL Ecomotive debut, too.

With the same mechanics as his cousin a little less than the capacity, aerodynamic adjustments Altea models are not contributing to the Lion his outstanding statistics. As a result, its economy and emission figures I can not agree with Leon year - despite 119 g / km of CO2 in the two cars is not wasteful. combined fuel economy of 62.8 miles per gallon for vehicles not to be despised so much.

The three cars are available in S and SE specifications, and all have an incredible array of standard equipment to give the lie to the idea that "the economy" and "luxury" somehow mutually exclusive.

Air conditioning, stylish alloy wheels 16 inches, one-shot electric windows all round, ESP, ABS, TSC, Hill Hold Control, tire pressure monitoring, stereo radio with six speakers with MP3 compatible CD player and AUX- in - it is not the brand of the car an "economy".

An extensive list of options that allow customers Ecomotive also like to adapt the plush surroundings of AFS bi-xenon headlights, auto-dimming rearview mirror, auto lights and wipers, Seat optical parking system with DAB radio tuner, all available.
