Thread: Audi A2 axed

Proizvodnja verzija Audi A2 koncepta je bil axed iz Audi prihodnji zmnožek načrt. Audi je pločevinkah načrte za izgradnjo proizvodnje različico svoje Audi A2 električnih avtomobilov koncept iz avtomobilov 2011, glede na visoko nameščena podjetje vire. Navdih izvirni aluminija školjka A2, novi model je bilo načrtovano, šel v proizvodnjo v letu 2015 kot tako konvencionalne plug-in hibrid in kot čisti EV.
Audi virov povedal avtomobil, da pridobljene izkušnje iz novih A2, projekt bo vključena v prihodnje Audi modelov, ampak da je bil padel načrte za proizvodnjo aluminija-okvirjem model. Je to začela, nov A2 bi so bili neposredni konkurent BMWs prihajajoči BMW i3.
A2 koncept uporablja sendvič tla konstrukcijo, podobna izvirniku Mercedes razreda, ki bi bili uporabljeni za shranjevanje litij-ionskih baterij. 114bhp elektromotor odpeljal prednjih koles in Audi obljubil 125-milj območju iz baterijskega sklopa, po štiri ure polnjenje.
Audis nepričakovano potezo je del rastočih razpoloženje v avtomobilski industriji, da na trgu za čista električna vozila je verjetno precej manjši, kot je predvideno. Vauxhall/Opel nedavno padla izpostavljam EV prevod je Adam in prodaja Nissan listi vse pomembne ameriški trg daleč padla manj od ocene. Šef Nissan Carlos Ghosn rekel, da hoče prodati 20.000 podružnično v 2012, iz 9679 stopnjuje v 2011. Vendar pa do konca oktobra, samo 6791 podružnično ugotovila domove.

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.
