Volkswagen Jetta TDI
Alternative fuel vehicles
In early 1980, VW has released a limited production of electricity as the Jetta Jetta CitySTROMER. He was 24.8HP (18.5kW) drivetrain (later 37.5HP (28kW)), with a range of 190 km (250 in later versions). [111]
Volkswagen has released MultiFuel Jetta Jetta in 1991, primarily for the state of California and New York, then on a limited retail sales in those states, to the public. They are the earliest examples of E85 vehicle, burning a mixture of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. Jettas These can still be found roaming the streets.
In 2001, the 18 th International Electric Vehicle Symposium and Exhibition in Berlin, VW has released two environment-friendly cars: the HyMotion Bora Bora, and electrical.
In Bora HyMotion is hydrogen Powered Mark 4 with a 75 kW fuel cell, which could accelerate from 0 to 97 km / h (60 miles / h) in 12.5 seconds. In the 49-liter tank of cryogenically stored hydrogen, it was close to 350 km (220 miles). Maximum speed was 140 km / h (87 miles / h). [112]
The second concept vehicle was named Bora Electric. "She had the power to vary depending on operating conditions. In Bora Electric can accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 10 seconds with a range of 160 km. Energy required to drive a vehicle stored in the lithium-ion batteries. It was noted that his chances of success were limited in the market, given the high cost of electric power system. [113]
In 2002, Volkswagen, together with the Institut Paul Sherrera released another hydrogen energy vehicle called Bora Hy.Power. The car was by compressed hydrogen at a pressure of 320 bar (4600 psi). It is very similar to the ratings HyMotion; from 75 kW (100 hp) power source. A feature of this car is a 60 kilowatt super capacitor, which can increase power as needed, as well as recover energy when coasting. [114]
Volkswagen considered mild hybrid version of the production of the fifth generation is mainly for the North American market. [115] However, no formal plans have been announced, and the company will continue its clean diesel push, regardless of the decision regarding hybrid technology. [116]
[edit] Biofuels
The car being fueled with biodiesel
Volkswagen Jetta TDIs approves fuel to 5% biodiesel (B5). [117] The diesel engine can sometimes be started from a higher percentage of biodiesel, especially in warm months. However, if the vehicle is guilty, Volkswagen will deny warranty coverage if unapproved fuel used. [Citation needed]
Some owners have converted their diesel cars to operate on vegetable oil used as fuel. [118] This can be obtained from most fast-food restaurants for a minimal fee (if any). Nevertheless, there is at least one report of catastrophic engine damage caused by the use of waste vegetable oil. [119] Running cars on biofuels of any type has the advantage, at least partially carbon-neutral.
VW also released a Bora TDI, which was by SunFuel, a synthetic fuel, developed in partnership with Royal Dutch Shell. [120] The company also displayed the company SunDiesel Bora TDI that VW has also developed with DaimlerChrysler, along with Horen industry. [121]
