Audi A1 e-tron electric

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 28, 2011 -- Trials have now begun of the electric Audi A1 e-tron, an electric car with a range-extender engine, capable of fuel economy of 148 mpg.

The Audi A1 e-tron is a range-extender electric car with an output of 102 PS and a top speed of 81 mph. If the battery runs low on charge, a compact combustion engine – the range extender – recharges it as needed to boost the vehicle’s operating range to as much as 155 miles. This compact electric car is a zero-emissions vehicle for the first 31 miles of a trip – in city traffic, for instance. The battery comprises a package of lithium-ion modules mounted in the floor assembly in front of the rear axle. The four-seat A1 e-tron was designed for daily driving in metropolitan areas. It offers ‘fuel economy’ of up to 148.7 mpg, for a CO2 equivalent of just 45 g/km (calculated as per the proposed standard for determining the fuel efficiency of vehicles with range extenders).
