Llinyn Cymorth Audi a2

Mae fersiwn cynhyrchu o gysyniad Audi A2 wedi'i osod o gynllun cynnyrch Audi yn y dyfodol. Mae Audi wedi cannu cynlluniau i adeiladu fersiwn gynhyrchu o'i gar cysyniad car trydan Audi A2 o 2011, yn ôl ffynonellau cwmni uchel eu safle. Wedi'i ysbrydoli gan y ffrâm gofod alwminiwm wreiddiol A2, trefnwyd i'r model newydd fynd i gynhyrchu yn 2015 fel hybrid ategyn confensiynol ac fel EV pur.
Dywedodd ffynonellau Audi wrth Autocar y byddai gwersi a ddysgwyd o'r prosiect A2 newydd yn cael eu cynnwys mewn modelau Audi yn y dyfodol, ond bod cynlluniau ar gyfer y model cynhyrchu alwminiwm wedi'u gollwng. Pe bai wedi'i lansio, byddai'r A2 newydd wedi bod yn gystadleuydd uniongyrchol ar gyfer BMWs sydd ar y gweill BMW i3.
Defnyddiodd y cysyniad A2 adeiladwaith llawr rhyngosod, yn debyg i'r dosbarth Mercedes A gwreiddiol, a fyddai wedi'i ddefnyddio i storio'r pecyn batri lithiwm. Roedd modur trydan 114bhp yn gyrru'r olwynion blaen ac addawodd Audi ystod o 125 milltir o'r pecyn batri ar ôl ailwefru pedair awr.
Mae symudiad annisgwyl Audis yn rhan o hwyliau cynyddol yn y diwydiant awto bod y farchnad ar gyfer cerbydau trydan pur yn debygol o fod yn llawer llai na'r disgwyl. Yn ddiweddar, gostyngodd Vauxhall/Opel gynlluniau ar gyfer fersiwn EV o Adam ac mae gwerthiant y Nissan Leaf ym marchnad holl bwysig yr Unol Daleithiau wedi gostwng ymhell o fod yn brin o amcangyfrifon. Dywedodd pennaeth Nissan Carlos Ghosn ei fod am werthu 20,000 o Leafs yn 2012, i fyny o 9679 yn 2011. Fodd bynnag, erbyn diwedd mis Hydref, dim ond 6791 Leafs oedd wedi dod o hyd i gartrefi.

A production version of the Audi A2 concept has been axed from Audi's future product plan. Audi has canned plans to build a production version of its Audi A2 electric car concept car from 2011, according to highly-placed company sources. Inspired by the original aluminium spaceframe A2, the new model was scheduled to go into production in 2015 as both a conventional plug-in hybrid and as a pure EV.
Audi sources told Autocar that lessons learnt from the new A2 project would be included in future Audi models, but that plans for the aluminium-framed production model had been dropped. Had it been launched, the new A2 would have been a direct competitor for BMWs upcoming BMW i3.
The A2 concept used a sandwich floor construction, similar to the original Mercedes A-class, which would have been used to store the lithium-ion battery pack. A 114bhp electric motor drove the front wheels and Audi promised a 125-mile range from the battery pack after a four-hour recharge.
Audis unexpected move is part of a growing mood in the auto industry that the market for pure electric vehicles is likely to be much smaller than predicted. Vauxhall/Opel recently dropped plans for an EV version of the Adam and sales of the Nissan Leaf in the all-important US market have fallen far short of estimates. Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn said he wanted to sell 20,000 Leafs in 2012, up from 9679 in 2011. However, by the end of October, just 6791 Leafs had found homes.
