| Test drive in front of the Grimaldi forum
|
| 
|
|
|
During the whole EVER Monaco in 2006 many different vehicles were ready before the Grimaldi forum for test driving. Electric mobility not only to look rather to experience.
|
| Racing car with biodiesel
|
| 
|
|
|
This racer of Peugeot RC Total Diester cup is driven by a mixture of 50% diesel and 50% Diester biofuel. The 2.2 liters HDI engine has a particle filter.
|
| Racing sport series with biodiesel
|
| 
|
|
|
178 HP from the 2.2 HDI engine have to deal with only 800 kg racing car. The design study Karo to the 25 cars in the RC series was shown on the Genevan motor show in 2002.
|
| Biodiesel racing cars
|
| 
|
|
|
One of 25 racers in the RC cup is used from Peugeot Germany and Total Germany. Driver is Patrick
Hang from the promising corps of the magazine 'Auto Motor und Sport'.
|
| Biodiesel racing sport car cockpit
|
| 
|
|
|
Very spartan it in the Cockpit of the Peugeot RC cup biodiesel racing cars. The steering wheel is removable to the lighter entrance.
|
| Electric kart
|
| 
|
|
|
On the left rear in the exhibition hall in the Grimaldi forum was a kart racetrack. I thought if there sometimes a presentation is I will certainly hear it. Wrong thought!.
|
| Kart drifts electrically on the racetrack
|
| 
|
|
|
Already so about 20 m farther in the exhibition hall I noticed the kart presentation only by the noises while crossing ofver wooden plates sunk in the ground.
|
| Spike tires for electrickart races in the ice
|
| 
|
|
|
There are electric Loisika kart races also on icebound lakes. For of such type wintry racing distances these speik tyres are intended.
|
| Lithium polymer battery
|
| 
|
|
|
Kokam presents itself on EVER Monaco as one of the big hope bearers for electric cars and rechargeable hybrid cars. Around 170 Wh per kg makes a lot possible.
|
| Lithiumpolymer batteries
|
| 
|
|
|
Sample suitcase for the different dimensions of lithium polymer batteries. Typically for the Kokam batteries is the flat design in opposit to the to the usually cylindrical shaped batteries.
|
| Big lithium polymer batteries
|
| 
|
|
|
The biggest one of the flat batteries cells has 200 Ah. 100 pieces of it would even give a 3.5 tons truck a convincing road performance.
|
| Lombardini generators for serial hybrid cars
|
| 
|
|
|
How does one extend the reach of an electric car? Instead of more and more batteries one could also take a generator. The concept is called serial hybrid car.
|
| 15 kW generator with gasoline engine
|
| 
|
|
|
The size of the engine in a serial hybrid vehicle is substantially smaller than in a conventional car. Therefor is 15 kW enough for small cars and lower middle class.
|
| 23 kW generator with diesel engine
|
| 
|
|
|
23 kW could be the drive resistance of an optimized Hybrid minivan with 130 km/h. Because of the batteries the generator must cover only the average power demand.
|
| Electric wheel chair
|
| 
|
|
|
4 individually controlled role wheels with individually steered rollers give this wheel chair an unbelievable mobility in every direction and turns right on the spot.
|
| Control stick for wheel chair
|
| 
|
|
|
Quite differently than expected reacts the wheel chair with a pressure to the left. No left turn, but the chair goes to the left. For a left turn forwards press and turn.
|
| Wheels with rollers to the driving in every direction
|
| 
|
|
|
The secret of the unbelievable agility of this wheel chair as for example parallel movement and turns right on the spot are the rollers mounted on the wheels.
|
| For every wheel own electric motor
|
| 
|
|
|
All 4 wheels of the wheel chair have an own electric motor. Besides, forward and backward the steering system let the rollers rotate free or blocks them.
|
| Mobile chair for walking disabled person
|
| 
|
|
|
2 sealed lead acid battereies with 12V 25Ah are enough for one day driving. Motorized chair for disabled persons, which can go short distances still by them self.
|
| SMEG Monaco Electricity and Gas
|
| 
|
|
|
The electricity and gas company of Monaco shows what since long years as company vehicles drives electrically. Peugeot 106 and electric scooter.
|
| Peugeot 106 electric at SMEG
|
| 
|
|
|
Regretfully, old Peugeot 106 was the only full electric car with 5 seats on the fair. Two-seaters or Golf cars similar open constructions do not count there.
