Diesel or electricity in the C4, gasoline or natural gas in the C3. Unfortunately, the C4 lacks a determining feature which the C3 has: the second tank conection for filling up in the own garage.
|
| Citroen C4 HDI Diesel Hybrid
|
| 
|
|
|
After VW and Audi had terminated the production of the 3 liter cars Lupo and A2, the next generation of 3 liter cars comes from Citroen substantially bigger realization.

At the first sight from above looked the engine rooms of Toyota Prius, Lexus and Citroen C4 HDI Hybrid anyhow very similar.

|
Where the conventional C4 has under the luggage boot the reserve wheel, are at the hybrid 2 batteries and electronics installed.
|
| Prince Albert from Monaco in the Citroen C4 HDI
|
| 
|
|
|
With the inspection of the exhibit Saturday, 1st April of midday the C4 HDI Hybrid was the only vehicle in which the prince has got in.
|
| Citroen C3 with engine stop at the traffic light
|
| 
|
|
|
Engine off at the traffic light. Why this is in 2006 a fair novelty? Why this is not natural already since decades? Is to cheap energy blocking the advance?
|
| Gas pumping station in garage
|
| 
|
|
|
The gas powered car refueled in the own garage from the gas line makes this
device from Citroen possible.
|
| Citroen C3 with 2 tank connections
|
| 
|
|
|
The upper tank lid is for gasoline. At the lower one, natural gas can be filled up with a suitable device directly in own garage from the gas line.
|
| Toyota exhibition stand EVER Monaco in 2006
|
| 
|
|

Prius and Lexus in the exhibition hall and many Prius for test driving before the Grimaldi forum. Indeed, the hybrid models of Toyota are a considerable progress to the today's cars.

|
| Venturi Fetish - the electric roadster
|
| 
|
|
|
State of the art - show what today is maximal possible. Let's hope that the price development of electric cars will be like it was at notebooks.
|
| Roadster without exhaust
|
| 
|
|
|
In spite of 4.5 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h and 170 km/h top speed, it's not possible with the Venturi Fetish to let somebody look in the tube. There is no exhaust at an electric car.
|
| Roadster Venturi Fetish interior
|
| 
|
|
|
Drivers and front passenger seat are probably separated by 100 lithium ion batteries. With 58 kWh of tank contents it goes depending on drive style 250 to 350 kms range. 16 to 23 kWh on 100 kms.
|
| Loudspeaker in the Venturi Fetish
|
| 
|
|
|
HiFi has also a lot to do with the singnal to noise ratio. Here the quiet electric engine provides for more music pleasue than with an internal combustion engine possible.
|
| Venturi Fetish dashboard
|
| 
|
|
|
Unusually for a dashboard is the rotary knob right below to adjust the regenerative engine break. Special at high speed on mountain roads from curve to curve, this reduces the consumption.
|
| Middle console in the Venturi Fethish
|
| 
|
|
|
Only the car radio with navigation system and 6 keys is everything on the middle console. Simply and clear.
|
| Iveco daily Hybrid
|
| 
|
|
|
Electrically only 25 kms of reach and 40 km/h, but also this is a clear relief for the usage in a city center with much traffic and traffic jams.
|
| Outlet on the Iveco Daily Hybrid
|
| 
|
|
|
In front in the radiator cowling the outlet is around the batteries in the Iveco Daily hybrid transporter with electricity on to load.
|
| Electric microvan
|
| 
|
|
|
This electric minibus uses 16,4 kWhs electric power instead of 7,7 liters of gasoline for 100km. The 6 seats Micro-Vett. is Ideal as delivery truck in the downtown.
|
| Small van: Battery chest behind the front axle
|
| 
|
|
|
Where at similar forward control chassis is the motor below the front seats, at this electric vehicle a chest for the batteries.
|
| Open electro bus
|
| 
|
|
|
Unequivocally not for the Salzburger climate suitable is this open electro-bus. For warm areas without much rain certainly an interesting vehicle.
|
| Electric bus open
|
| 
|
|
|
Electric vehicle for bigger fairgrounds or for the city center for the person-transportation.
|
| CityEl in Monaco
|
| 
|
|
|
Dramatic consumption-lowering of the new CityEl. The new FactFour requires only 3,5 to 5 kWhs on 100km opposite 7 to 9 kWhs with the old model.
|
| Sightseeing with CityEl
|
| 
|
|
|
With the exhibits for the fair, the harbor-promenade becomes in the evening in Monaco viewed. I can confirm: with a bigger car no chance on a parking place.
|

|
| 
|
|
|
170 kg sealed lead acid battereis are only enough for 65km range. Therefor a product for a minority satisfied with this possibilities.
|
| Golf car
|
| 
|
|
|
Only 5399.-EUR is the price of this golf car from GoWatt. 36V 180Ah lead-batteries are enough to starting on up to 20 percent of rise, 27km/h top speed and a reach from 70km.
