Adrian van Hooydonk, director of BMW’s group design, explains the BMW Vision Efficient Dynamics as “the sport car of the future, the way BMW imagines it.” This two door concept vehicle to be unveiled at the forthcoming Frankfurt Auto Show. Think of it as a vehicle of the many fuel-efficient technologies that BMW has in several stages of development. Some of the technologies already appear in production vehicles, while the feasibility of rolling out other systems stretch the future to the point of never.
BMW company has a great goal to combine groundbreaking efficiency and breath-taking speed. In the BMW Vision, that boils down to 4.8-second 0-to-60 mph acceleration and 63 mpg.
First, BMW engineers combine a turbo charged small diesel engine and the mildest forms of hybrid technology use the rear axle. In Europe this series car comes on the kind of combo in BMW1′s standard. The Vision’s setup is a little more similar to the BMW 320d, which uses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel to deliver 162 hp, while gifted over 57 mpg, also to debut in Frankfurt. The BMW Vision takes it a step further by downsizing the engine to a 1.5-liter three-cylinder diesel engine mated with the more robust hybrid system found in the costly BMW ActiveHybrid7, estimated in the US early next year.
If you don’t satisfied with 162 hp, BMW adds a second motor to drive the front wheels exclusively by electricity. This power can put out 356 hp when the motors and the diesel engine are called into service. The BMW Vision is aerodynamic and lightweight. The design features an aluminum chassis and suspension, and an outer skin made mostly of polycarbonate glass. The car’s ‘slimy’ design boasts a drag coefficient of 0.22 –Toyota Prius just 0.25.
BMW Vision utilizes plug-in hybrid technology to lessen the fuel efficiency penalty paid for power. This make BMW Vision becomes more of a fantasy. The combination of hybrid techonologies and diesel is generally viewed as cost unaffordable. As BMW is promising, with enough battery power to permit the BMW Vision Efficient Dynamics to travel for 30 miles of all-electric drive, would send costs through the roof.
Moreover, BMW Vision only needs a 187-pound 10.8 kWh battery to achieve the 30-mile all-electric goal. To pull that off, BMW Vision will release the battery pack’s capacity by 80 percent, which is likely to considerably lessen the durability of the battery.
Slipping further into fantasy-of course, the vehicle is mostly eye candy-the BMW Vision‘s energy management system uses sensors to anticipate the driver’s needs to regulate engine, electrical components, motors, and even front grille louvers for great performance and maximum efficiency. For instance, the management system could anticipate traffic congestion ahead to boost regenerative braking or expect a merge on to a highway to let the engine hum and the motors buzz. BMW says the system can even help you more quickly find a parking space.

Is a high-mpg hybrid Mini coming around the corner? Not quite.
BMW and France’s PSA Peugeot Citroën issued a press release this week stating that the two companies, the longtime partners in engine development, would begin developing hybrid technologies together. Bloggers jumped to the conclusion that the move is a sign of strength and shows a renewed commitment about electric drive vehicles. They immediately started guessing about which models would get hybrid or plug-in hybrid drivetrains.
Is it going to be a hybrid 1-series? Will it be a gas-electric Mini? Maybe a hybrid Mini Clubman or even a Mini Countryman crossover SUV with a plug-in hybrid system?
(Actually, the conjecture started in October when BMW made a nearly identical preliminary announcement about the tie-up with PSA.)
It makes for a fun blog post to guess at possibly-could-be-maybe future vehicles, but of course, there’s no real evidence to back up those images in the crystal ball. According to the press release, the new venture, dubbed BMW Peugeot Citroën Electrification, vaguely states that the two companies will work on battery packs, generators, power electronics and chargers, and software for hybrid systems—the generic stuff that all hybrids need. Executives offered banal quotes, talking about “competitive advantages” and “cost structures.”
The announcement is more accurately interpreted as a sign of weakness—a fearful response to falling way behind in the hybrid space. In other words, instead of taking a bold step and making an investment, these companies don’t have to really commit to a full R&D budget and time commitment. After all, BMW is not a big company and would find it challenging to pursue the full range of advanced auto technologies all at the same time.
Have We Seen This Before?
BMW played the same card in 2005, when it glommed on to the hybrid technology project with General Motors and Daimler-Chrysler that yielded the two-mode hybrid system. At the time, Burkhard Goschel, BMW’s head of development, said, “The creation of a shared technology platform for hybrid drives will allow us to more quickly integrate the best technologies on the market.”
Six years later, what did this “quick integration” produce? One vehicle: the $90,000 BMW X6 SUV hybrid. How many of those did BMW sell in 2010? Ahem, 248 units. That puts its 2010 hybrid sales at No. 25 out of the 27 hybrids currently on the market. No. 26 was the $104,000 Lexus LS 600h L, followed by BMW’s other hybrid, the $103,000 BMW Hybrid 7 (using a system not developed in the G.M.-Daimler partnership), in dead last place.
As a point of reference, BMW sold 11,727 of its clean diesel vehicles in the U.S. in 2010— 7,925 units of the BMW X5 SUV and 3,892 units of the BMW 335d The company sells more of its diesel SUVs in month than all its hybrids in a year.
More Hope for EVs
If BMW’s hybrid efforts have been completely lame, at least it’s pure electric program has shown some life. The company has put a lot of effort into the Mini-E and ActiveE test programs—and the electric production model, the Megacity, is slated for 2013. With regard to the “BMW Peugeot Citroën Electrification” joint project, it’s more likely to yield components for that promising EV than a mainstream affordable hybrid Mini or 1-Series.
Most of all, the tie-up with PSA is a cost-saving hedge to keep hybrid development slowly moving forward at BMW, just in case regulations or market forces push the company to get serious about hybrids, rather than continuing to issuing press releases every few years about another joint development project.

psa and bmw tie up for hybrid technology I recommended you to read my previously articles before you reading this article: 2010 Hybrid Cars-1, and 2010 Hybrid Cars-2.
There are two BMW hybrids which has high of horsepower. There are X6 Hybrid and active 7 Hybrid. BMW X6 is intersecting SUV. It has change into sporty car field. This car has being called as “sporty activity.” The main characters performance of this car are low profile, long rear jut out over, inclined roofline, short front hang over, low slung standpoint, the control of stability, 4 large wheels, muscular wheels arches, long wheelbase, and many more. This car will get in all probability such as 480 horsepower and V8 engine of 4.8 liter which can accelerate squashy from idle to 60mph every five seconds. It is about 20 % growth compare with the X6 and not as much of impressive. If you consider of high horsepower, efficiency of fuel and the magnificence, BMW Active Hybrid 7 is must be thinking too. It outstands in 2010. BMW is such a kind of car or sedan that the fastest in the world. Are you expecting economical energy? This car is more economical 15 % than 750i that can reach the town with 15mpg and 22mpg on highway.
Dodge Ram of Hybrid Car
Notwithstanding its troubles, in 2010, Chrysler is going to revolve out the edition of Dodge Ram. The largest segment of car sells next in the USA. Will recover Chrysler’s fortune with and highly development technology of Ram? It is a doubtful. The Chevy Silverado Hybrid put up for sale two hundred units a month. The cost of the gas is increasing; it believably persuades Chrysler to make Ram Hybrid within larger numbers. However, customer should not hold their breath. On the other hand, the technology is so extraordinary. Why it said so? It is because there are four or eight cylinders or thereof. It is for minimizing fuel and providing 3 tons of high capacity. There is also 260 kilowatt electric motor for electricity and one of multi dislocation of 5.7-liter pushrod of HEMI V8.
Porsche and Prius are center of automobile spectrum part. One of them was the best brand of sport car which come from German. It has high performance and famous for its loud flat of 6 engines and great engineering. It is just about a teenager. It is an image of modern of towering mileage hybrid. Currently the spectrum is out of shape. Poles are nearer. Porsche is going to introduce its sport car, Cayenne Hybrid at the end of 2010. Although, it far from Prius. Cayenne Hybrid in 2011 is using a directly injected. It also use Audio 3 liter supercharged which is rated 333 of horsepower. This is pair with 8 transmissions. Sandwiched between 2 is mounting in a 38kw electric motor. It put out torque for about 221 and the two of third is as a large amount as the steam engine. Porsche to state as a fact the boosted of engine and electric motor is 0 until 62 mph every six point six seconds. The efficiency of Cayenne S Hybrid projected of main road in 24 miles each gallon can improve 19 way mpg in 13 urban.
The Prius progression
So, 2010, what happen to classic hybrid model like Toyota Prius if those hybrid cars hit the marketplace? Toyota cannot buy breaking on its success after there are many complaints about the bad of braking in 2009. However the company always put on the marketplace Prius than other hybrids. As a result, Prius is start to progress.
Taking green car halo with Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt, the corporation is trying to accelerate its tactics by plug up in Prius version. This car would not be accessible pending 2011. However, its news of trial run 500 plug in of Prius paid attention. The same rumors from subcompact hybrid also try to get into. But we believe those rumors revolving into product in January 2010. Following time, Priuses bleats the market again. They will offering 30 until 40 hybrids to automotive in the world which good in size and shape, low priced, and safe because it use electric power as fuel.
