Also: the 2012 model year i-MiEV electric vehicle
Rüsselsheim, 17 August 2011 - With forward-looking vehicles are, Mitsubishi, one of the innovators and pioneers in the field of alternative drive technologies at the International Automobile Exhibition "Motor Show" in 2011 in Frankfurt / Main in the "Hall of electric vehicles" (4.0 A16).
Already successful in the market, the Mitsubishi i-MiEV
Focus on the trade show is the Mitsubishi i-MiEV of model year 2012. The ultra-compact four-seater, only in May 2011 with the "Plus X Award" as "the best electric car in 2011" and "Innovation and the Environment" award will be delivered in eight months in Germany to end consumers. Since then more than 600 vehicles were sold in Germany.
A 49 kW/67 hp electric motor and a lithium-ion batteries make the nimble electric runabout when required 130 km / h fast and allow distances up to 150 km *. The energy storage unit can be adapted to any conventional household outlet secured charge, on a special quick charger even within 30 minutes to 80 percent of its maximum capacity.
For model year 2012, the world's first electric car in mass production will be further refined and optimized. That a part of the series of standards, a new interior in an elegant dark brown, a remote control for presetting the vehicle air conditioning and charging time and to display the battery power level, an audio system with CD player and USB port, heated front seats, an acoustic Warner for the protection of persons outside of the vehicle and loading equipment for different currents.
Crossover with a hybrid drive and perspective: PX-MiEV Concept
Current and attractive than ever, the Concept PX-MiEV plug-in hybrid drive. Was first shown the dynamic 4x4 crossover model at the Tokyo Motor Show 2009, then at the Geneva Motor Show in 2010 and this year's Shanghai motor show. This year's study at the Frankfurt Motor Show was first presented to the German public.
To the powerful drive of the PX-MiEV Concept two electric motors to provide front and rear axle, the torque distribution is variable over the electric wheel-drive system and an e-4WD motor on the rear axle differential. An additional 1.6-liter gasoline engine can support either the front-wheel drive or used as current-producing generator.
Innovative technologies such as heat reflective outer coating, a UV-A radiation-resistant glazing, individually air-conditioned single seats with anti-allergy effect or an electronic control of indoor humidity round out the progressive nature of the PX-MiEV Concept.
Its future potential lies not only in the powerful yet environmentally friendly drive concept. The striking crossover SUV architecture, a core competence of the house offers excellent conditions for transfer from the stage on the road.
