The range of only 55 km is an indicator Serial Hybrid Opel Flextreme The 1,3 litre Dieselengine with urea exhaust cleaning resides in the usual position, but it propels only a generator with 53 kW peak performance. Flextreme chassis based on Opel Astra Opel builts the Plug-in-Hybrid Flextreme with as much parts from the large serial construction. So the chassis is from the Opel Astra. Criteria to purchase a car ready for the future At the Flextreme concept car without coachwork is to see the most important criteria to purchase a car in the future: The plug to recharge.

The total revolution in automobile construction does even not stop at the mechanical brake. Volvo wheel hub engines All the mechanical insufficiency from a 4 wheel drive replaced by 4 wheel hub engines. Complicate mechanic replaced by some electric cables.
