VW gas engine

There is a starter and a dynamo. So it's a very conventional engine only adapted for the use of natural gas. Even no start stop for halting at traffic lights.

The man at the VW booth told about this "Our customers do not like this".

A very sad sight when somebody had seen 3 weeks before the future and did even a test drive..


  Hannover industrial fair 2007 hall 13


Fair report from hall 13 of the industrial fair Hannover about renewable energy and environment friendly mobility.

Loremo booth Loremo booth
A photo of the whole booth was only evidently after the fair opening time possible. By day was the booth of the 1,5 litre car always surrounded by masses of poeple.


Hannover as a place of encounter Hannover as a place of encounter
Uli Sommer, developer of the Loremo 1,5 litre car in a first talk with Nordic Power Systems, developer of the Diesel fuel cell.


Magna Steyr Magna Steyr
Components for the automobile industry of tomorrow introduced Magna Steyr in hannover. On the pedestal on the left side a battery for vehicles with hybrid drive.


Range of biomass for our mobility Range of biomass for our mobility
How far can a middle class car drive with the yearly yield of one hectare. The poster on the booth of the 'Fachagentur Nachwachsende Rohstoffe e.V.' shows it.


Hydrogen bottle vs Lithium battery Hydrogen bottle vs Lithium battery
6.5 kg is this bottle with 0.9 m³ hydrogen gas. This are 2673 Wh chemical. A fuel cell has to convert this into electric power.


Think hydrogen fuel cell Think hydrogen fuel cell
150km with a Zebra battery below the right seat and further 150km with 1,5 kg hydrogen in a pressure tank below the right seat.


Nordic Energy Systems Nordic Energy Systems
Last year, it was only a mockup, this year a prototype. Fuel cell with reformer for Diesel or vegetable oil. The 4 kW unit is designed as a APU for deep freeze trucks.


Diesel fuel cell Diesel fuel cell
32.8% of the chemical energy is converted into electric power. No 4 kW ICE internal combustion engine with generator has this efficiency, low noise and clean exhaust gases.


Jetcar Jetcar
With only 40 hp 160 km/h. With this, the Jetcar is just between today small cars, about 60 hp for 160 and the Loremo using only 20 hp for this,.


T-Com saves at the employees T-Com saves at the employees

Loremo interior View from the driver's seat to the instrument board and to the hall 13. Loremo aerodynamic front below What is not visible from above: The underside of the Loremo is flat and formed like a turned around wing. Here is at most conventional cars Loremo aerodynamic rear below How to drive a 470kg car with 220km/h without flying? A view below the car reveal the secret: the flat underside ascends behind. loremo rear seats I was once passenger on the rear seats of a Porsche 911 from Salzburg to Munich and back. Compared to this, the Loremo is behind very comfortable. DLF Interview inside the Loremo Beside the visitors had been on the Loremo booth always jounalists. Here gives Uli Sommer inside the Loremo an interview for DLF. Magna Steyr battery for hybrid drive First prototype for a lithium battery comlete with BMS battery management system and cooling for hybrid drive. Development target is 60kg, Charge with 71kW and discharge with 60 kW. Range of photovoltaic for our mobility About 40m away is the booth of the agency for biomass with a poster how far a car can drive with the yearly yield of 1ha biomass. Think interior Photo from the Think hydrogen car. Looks like in a conventional car with automatic. Zebra battery in Think Below the right front passenger seat is a Zebra battery for 150km range with electric power. Fuel cell in Think The complete lower part of the luggage department is filled up by the hydrogen fuel cell. Diesel fuel cells The tank left up is for the fuel, below the tank with the blue seal is for watter. The water is necessary for the reaction with the fuel. Jetcar rear view View from rear. Only half the passenger places, but this ones with much space. For about 50.000,-EUR, it is possible to purchase a prototype. Jetcar cockpit Entrance into the Jetcar through the single dor on the left side. Maybe an interesting car for a sales representative with little luggage. jetcar rear seat The front seat is flapped to the front and gives the entrance to the rear seat free. Rear part of a russian spacesuit The supply part is open. This is also the entrance into the spacesuit. The devices of the supply part are visible.
