Thread: Audi A2 käsitsi raiutud

Tootmise versioon Audi A2 kontseptsioon on Audi uutes toodetes plaani käsitsi raiutud. Audi on konserveeritud plaanib ehitada tootmise versioon oma Audi A2 elektriauto ideeauto 2011, hästi paigutatud firma allikate kohaselt. Inspireeritud originaal alumiiniumist spaceframe A2, uus mudel oli planeeritud tootmise 2015 nii tavapäraste plug-in hybrid ja puhas EV.
Audi allikad ütles Autocar, et saadud õppetunnid uus A2 projekt oleks ka tulevikus Audi mudelid, kuid alumiiniumist raamitud seeriamasinad plaane oli loobutud. Oli see alustatud, uus A2 oleks olnud BMWs tulemas BMW i3 otsene konkurent.
A2 mõistet kasutatakse sandwich põranda ehitus, sarnane originaal Mercedes A-klassi oleks kasutatud talletamiseks liitium-ioon akut. 114bhp elektrimootoriga sõitis esirataste ja Audi lubasin 125-miil vahemikus pärast neljatunnise laadige akut.
Audis ootamatu käik on osa kasvava meeleolu puhaste elektrisõidukite turg on tõenäoliselt palju väiksem ennustab autotööstus. Vauxhall/Opel langes hiljuti plaanid EV versiooni Adam ja müügi Nissan Leaf kõigi oluline USA turul on palju teostunud hinnangud. Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn ütles, et tahtis müüa 2012, 20000 Leafs alates 9679 2011. Oktoobri lõpuks oli lihtsalt 6791 Leafs kodu leidnud.

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.
