Hyundai muestra su nuevo híbrido enchufable

Hyundai ha mostrado las primeras fotos de un innovador híbrido "plug-in", que se presentará dentro de un mes en el Seoul Motor Show.
 
El  Blue-Will está fabricado con materiales de bajo impacto ambiental, como plásticos reciclados o biodegradables, utilizando como materia prima plantas, en lugar de derivados del petróleo.

El motor de 100 kW se complementa con otro auxiliar de gasolina de 1,6 litros.

La electricidad se almacena en baterías de polímero de ión litio. Hyundai será el primer fabricante que empleará baterías de polímeros de iones de litio en la fabricación en serie cuando salga a la venta el Elantra LPI Hybrid en Corea en julio de este año.

Las baterías se han colocado al lado del depósito de combustible con el fin de maximizar el espacio destinado al equipaje. Para reducir el peso usan materiales como la fibra de carbono y el plástico biodegradable procedente de plantas y combustibles fósiles.

El Blue-Will incorpora un techo solar con una serie de células solares fotovoltaicas que generar energía para las baterías incluso cuando el automóvil está parado.

BLUE-WILL – Hyundai charges in with advanced hybrid concept

* All-new concept car to be unveiled at Seoul Show
* Lithium-Ion batteries and a 1.6-litre direct-injection petrol engine
* Solar panels boost battery range

Hyundai has revealed the first pictures of an innovative plug-in hybrid concept car. Due to be revealed at the Seoul Motor Show which opens on April 2nd, the "BLUE-WILL", has exceptionally advanced technology crammed inside its striking bodyshell.

Recycled PET soft drink bottles were used to make the material for the headlamp bezels while use has also been made of bio-plastics: PLA for the interior while PA11 was specified for the engine cover. These materials are made from plants extract rather than fossil fuels and are bio-degradable.

The BLUE-WILL concept is powered by an all-aluminium Gasoline Direct Injected 1.6-litre engine which is coupled to a Continuously Variable Transmission and a 100kw electric motor which is at the heart of Hyundai’s parallel hybrid drive architecture.

Electric power, stored by a Lithium Ion Polymer battery pack, is neatly bundled with the fuel tank under the rear seat to maximise luggage space.

Hyundai will be the first automaker in the world to apply Lithium Ion Polymer in a mass production vehicle when the Elantra LPI Hybrid goes on sale in Korea in July this year.

A further expression of the concept’s design flexibility is found on the panoramic roof. The glass area integrates dye-sensitized solar cells which can generate power for the batteries from the sun without impeding visibility.

Further details of the concept will be revealed at a press conference on Hyundai’s stand at the Seoul show.
