*electric vehicle and plug-in hybrid vehicle

WORLD PREMIERE: MITSUBISHI CONCEPT PX-MiEV

Powered by the new Mitsubishi Plug-in Hybrid System, which significantly extends
the frequency a hybrid vehicle is driven in EV mode, the Mitsubishi Concept-PX*
MiEV† returns fuel economy in excess of 50 km/litre. The Mitsubishi Concept
PX-MiEV is a new-generation concept car that balances high environmental
performance with running performance by utilizing differential motors and
Mitsubishi's all-new S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control), that utilises E-AYC
(Electric-powered Active Yaw Control) which transfers torque to the rear left
and right wheels. Other features include Mitsubishi's cocochi-interior**, which
provides occupants with a comfortable cabin environment, as well as many of the
latest safety technologies.



* PX: Plug-in hybrid crossover. † MiEV: Mitsubishi innovative Electric Vehicle

** "cocochi" is a pun on the Japanese word for "cosy"

WORLD PREMIERE: i-MiEV CARGO

Derived from the production i-MiEV, this concept maximises the outstanding
environmental performance and economic efficiency characteristics that define
the EV and at the same time adds a generous amount of rear free space to extend
the range of uses to which it can be put by corporate users and self-employed
operators in particular. The rear space features space-efficient cubic
dimensions to allow the user to exercise their imagination fully in adapting it
for whatever use he/she chooses. The result is a concept for an EV that meets
user needs for a variety of situations: from business use, where maximum payload
space is required, to leisure and other individual owner uses.

MITSUBISHI CONCEPT PX-MiEV (SHOW MODEL)



1. Design

Solid, Safe, and Simple were the keywords which drove the development of an
exterior design suitable for a next-generation crossover that creates simple
appearance from which all extraneous elements have been pared and that is free
of the "rugged" elements typical in conventional SUVs. The headlamps and rear
combination lamps use LED emitters that give the car an innovative and modern
appearance as well as delivering better environmental performance with their
reduced power consumption. The body uses a newly-developed metal colour that
gives the car a metal shell-like appearance. Combining elements of both spoke
and dish styling, the road wheel design highlights an unprecedented new look to
the body as well improving brake cooling and aerodynamic performance.



The interior was designed to give an image of an airplane cockpit to improve the
driver's concentration, with an instrument panel that envelops the passengers
and utilises seats that keep the passengers firmly in place. In addition, the
entire instrument panel and door trim utilise soft LED lighting that express the
vehicle's innovation and refinement.



2. Mitsubishi Plug-in Hybrid System

The Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV's front and rear wheels are powered by two
permanent magnet synchronous motors and is also fitted with a 1.6L DOHC MIVEC
gasoline engine which can power the front wheels as well as work as a generator.
In addition, the vehicle comes with the newly-developed Mitsubishi Plug-in
Hybrid System in which electronic circuitry automatically switches to the
optimum drive mode for different driving conditions and remaining energy in the
drive battery to extract maximum efficiency from the electric motors and from
the gasoline engine. The Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV also utilises the MiEV OS (MiEV
Operating System) which selects the optimum drive mode through integrated
control of the EV components and the gasoline engine as well as controls optimum
electrical charge and output in response to remaining battery energy through
constant monitoring of the drive battery. With these, a pleasing, safe, and
comfortable ride is achieved while conserving energy. In addition, to maximise
effective use of the drive battery, the vehicle is equipped with a power supply
mode that allows the use of some battery power to supply domestic appliances or
as an emergency power source in the event of a natural disaster.



* EV mode



At low to middle vehicle speeds the Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV's drive battery
powers the front motor using front-wheel drive. When driving on snow, in the
rain or in other low surface friction situations where maximum vehicle stability
is required, the system automatically switches to four-wheel drive mode by
feeding power to the rear wheel motor as well when sensors detect any front
wheel slip.



* Series hybrid mode



When the remaining energy in the drive battery falls to a predetermined level
the system starts the gasoline engine to generate electricity and automatically
switches to the series hybrid mode using the electricity generated to power the
motors. In this mode as well, the system switches to four-wheel drive by driving
the rear motor depending on driving conditions.



* Parallel hybrid mode



At higher vehicle speeds the car is supported by the gasoline engine which
operates more efficiently than the electric motors at high revolutions. In this
mode, the gasoline engine also helps drive the wheels. When the driver makes
sudden lane changes or other manoeuvres requiring greater vehicle stability the
system switches to four-wheel drive by bringing in the rear motor to drive the
rear wheels, improving stability. In addition when overtaking at higher speeds
or in other situations requiring faster acceleration the system switches in both
front and rear motors to provide additional power and assist the gasoline
engine, providing high acceleration.



* Regenerative mode



When the vehicle is slowing or coasting down a long descending slope the system
switches to regenerative mode in which kinetic energy reclaimed from the wheels
is stored in the drive battery.



* Charging mode



As with the production i-MiEV, Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV features a 3-way
battery charging system using either a 100-volt or a 200-volt domestic supply or
a high-power quick-charging station. The system also incorporates a Wireless
Charging Program feature that allows the owner to start charging the battery or
start the air conditioner at a preset time even when away from the vehicle.



* Power supply mode



As a way to maximise the usefulness of the power stored in the drive battery
based on the "Smart Grid Framework," which garners attention as a link in
tackling global warming, when not on the road the Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV
allows the owner to store electricity at night and then use that electricity via
the normal charging connector to power home appliances during the daytime when
domestic electricity consumption is highest. This allows the drive battery to be
used as a power source in the event of a natural disaster. Should the
electricity left in the battery fall below a predetermined level, the gasoline
engine starts up and works as generator to maintain the power supply at a fixed
level.



A 100-volt AC auxiliary socket in the rear luggage compartment also allows the
electricity stored in the drive battery to be used to power cooking or lighting
equipment and other appliances when camping or engaged in other leisure
activities.



3. Drive system

Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV uses Mitsubishi's S-AWC integrated vehicle handling
control system which is configured around an E-4WD (Electronically-powered
four-wheel drive) system that controls front and rear motor output to deliver
the optimum front/rear drive torque split. Under the integrated control of the
S-AWC system are E-AYC (Electric-powered Active Yaw Control), which controls
left/right torque split at the rear wheels and the degree of deceleration energy
recovery, ASC (Active Stability Control) and ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
components.



Unlike the AYC system on the Lancer Evolution X which uses a wet multi-plate
clutch arrangement, E-AYC uses a differential motor to control rear wheel torque
split. The use of the differential motor makes for a high-efficiency system with
outstanding response and contributes to the on-demand handling and outstanding
vehicle stability that characterises the S-AWC system.



4. cocochi-interior

Some Mitsubishi Motors production cars already feature the cocochi-interior
which embraces occupants in a pleasantly comfortable cabin environment developed
to a "Clean, Stress-free and Safe & Reassuring" theme. For Mitsubishi Concept
PX-MiEV the cocochi-interior brings a number of new features including: seat
upholstery that deactivates allergens, breaks down VOC's (volatile organic
compounds) and offensive odour molecules as well as killing bacteria; glass that
shuts out UV-A radiation to protect skin from darkening and aging; and a
negative-ion aroma humidifier and oxygen enricher that improve comfort and
reduce fatigue. The original and the new cocochi-interior features provide a
cabin atmosphere that enhances occupant comfort as well as contributing to safer
operation of the vehicle.



5. Cabin heat load reducing technologies

The Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV uses a windshield that uses heat-reflecting glass
to reduce the amount of heat energy passing through and uses IR- (infrared ray)
blocking glass in the door windows. The body paint also incorporates
heat-reflective and insulation technology. Inside the vehicle the four seats are
individually air conditioned and cabin humidity is regulated. The adoption of
these heat load reducing technologies allows efficient climate control while
reducing power consumption to the absolute minimum in making for a very
comfortable occupant space.



6. Latest active safety technologies

The Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV showcases several new active safety technologies.



* The "New Multi-around Monitor" system uses cameras located at strategic points
on the body to provide the driver with a combined image of the full perimeter of
the vehicle. The combined image is displayed for the driver on a monitor from an
overhead view for improved safety around the perimeter of the vehicle.

* The Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV is equipped for the Driving Safety Support
System (DSSS (Level II)) currently being promoted by the Japanese National
Police Agency. In this advanced vehicle-infrastructure safety support system, an
on-board receiver picks up signals transmitted by roadside optical beacons and
the system urges the driver to take extra care when other vehicles or
pedestrians have been detected by roadside sensors and cameras at intersections
and pedestrian crossings.

* Employing a system that uses wireless technology to ascertain the position of
other vehicles and warn the driver when their proximity so requires, the
Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV also supports the Advanced Safety Vehicle 4 (ASV4)
project being promoted by the Road Transport Bureau of the Japanese Ministry of
Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.

* The vehicle is also fitted with a Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC*1)
system, employing the road-to-vehicle communications capabilities used in
Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) to determine the position of the vehicle and
whether it is parked or not.



*1 5.8 GHz band two-way wireless communication channels specifically designed
for automotive use.



7. Other features

The Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV is fitted with electronically-controlled air
suspension that gives the driver the choice of three ride height modes - Auto,
High, Low - for improved stability over poor surfaces or at high speeds and for
easier access to and from the vehicle.



The concept also uses a new-generation steering wheel switch and control layout
that offers outstanding usability and switch visibility for safer and less
stressful driving. Some of the audio, navigation, and climate control switches
are located on the steering wheel so that the driver can operate them without
having to take a hand off the wheel. Switch operation indicators located in the
instrument panel make it quicker and easier for the driver to visually check and
control the switch positions.



In the Driving Monitor System a camera mounted facing the driver monitors eye
movements to determine their level of alertness. If the system detects a
decrease in their concentration it issues not only audible but visual and
vibrational warnings and also emits a distinctive fragrance to alert him/her to
the situation.

SUBARU HYBRID TOURER CONCEPT

1. Concept
Subaru has condensed its DNA, developed over many years around the Subaru's core technology of "Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD)" and "Horizontally-Opposed Boxer Engine", into the integration of a luxurious and high-quality cabin atmosphere and an eye-catching sculpted body. The concept car features Subaru's latest evolutions in handling agility, riding comfort and superior safety performance. It proposes Subaru's vision of a future grand touring car that excels in environmental friendliness thanks to Subaru's unique hybrid system.

2. Design and packaging

(1) Exterior
Subaru imagined wings with a feeling of freedom and confidence for driving far and wide in any environment. A luxurious and comfortable cabin, and advanced driving performance are contained within a sculpted aerodynamic form. The design features a combination of bright, open glass areas with a solid, reliable body.

(2) Interior
The original point of the ideal grand touring car is its interior design, featuring four independent and comfortably positioned seats. Passengers are enclosed within an atmosphere that provides a surpassing feeling of openness and stress-free reassurance, through the further pursuit of a human-centered philosophy, the essence of Subaru car design, and the incorporation of functions that are friendly to passengers.
The top of the dashboard is movable up and down to provide an optimal driving environment for the driver according to driving conditions.
A flat floor in the rear seat was achieved even with the implementation of AWD, for improved use and movement inside the cabin.
Specialized shielding is incorporated in the windshield to reduce eyestrain on the driver.
New leather covering developed with superior breathability and a ventilation function is used in the seats for improved comfort and texture.

3. Mechanisms
In addition to refinements to Subaru's core technology such as Symmetrical AWD and Horizontally-Opposed Boxer Engine, further enhancements were made for improved environmental friendliness, driving performance and high safety performance by offering a next-generation power unit system and advanced safety technologies.
(1) Next-generation power unit system
2.0-liter Horizontally-Opposed direct fuel-injection turbo gasoline engine
The Horizontally-Opposed turbo gasoline engine, with a reputation for powerful acceleration, is combined with a direct fuel-injection system for improvements in fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, and improved torque and response in practical range. This evolution in Subaru turbo technology excels in both environmental friendliness and engine performance.

Lineartronic (CVT)
Lineartronic, Subaru's new generation automatic transmission, achieves further improvements in both fuel efficiency and driving performance by reinforcing parts for use with the high-power output of a turbo engine.

Hybrid system
To further enhance the appeal of the Symmetrical AWD system, this unique hybrid two-motor system features a power/drive motor in the front and a drive motor in the rear.

* At start-up and extremely low speeds when fuel efficiency is low, such as when driving the car into a garage, the rear motor is used primarily to allow driving without utilizing the power of the engine.
* During normal driving, the front engine is primarily used. The direct fuel-injection turbo gasoline mated with the Symmetrical AWD offers a whole new, Subaru driving experience.
* During acceleration, the rear motor assists the driving power of the engine to achieve advanced driving performance.
* Further, when accelerating uphill, the front motor, which is normally used as a power generator, assists to drive the front axle for improved performance.
* The implementation of a non-idling function that stops the engine when the car comes to a halt reduces unnecessary fuel consumption.
* The use of a high-performance lithium battery is based on experience and know-how achieved with the Subaru Plug-in STELLA electric vehicle, launched this summer. This includes the use of a precise energy management system and regenerative brake controls, for improvements in excellent fuel efficiency.

BMW Lovos concept makes Chris Bangle look drab

It must be fun to be a car designer. Unless, of course, your name becomes synonymous with a specific styling trend that very few seem to appreciate... but we digress. It definitely seems that 24-year-old Pforzheim University graduate Anne Forschner had a good time coming up with her BMW Lovos concept, which can alternatively look either like a frightened porcupine or svelte salmon, depending on its needs at the time.

The exterior of the Lovos � which somewhat ironically stands for Lifestyle of Voluntary Simplicity � is theoretically constructed from just one fully exchangeable part that recurs 260 times. Each exterior piece is covered in solar photovoltaic cells and can hinge on a substructure underneath to follow the sun or act as individual airbrakes. We can only assume the concept would be powered by electricity, as it makes our hairs stand up on end.

Video: BMW Vision ED Concept Slated ...

A new report has surfaced indicating that BMW will build a production version of the Vision EfficientDynamics Concept.



Like the VED concept, the M1 will be powered by a three-cylinder turbo-diesel engine and an electric motor. While details are limited, the combined output is expected to be more than 350 bhp and 800 Nm of torque. If these figures are correct, the M1 will likely accelerate from 0-60 mph in less than five seconds, before hitting an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph.



Set to revive the legendary M1 name, the fuel efficient supercar will reportedly adopt the concept's aggressive styling and advanced powertrain. Inside, the car will feature a three-dimensional head-up display, a "digital dash" and a two-plus-two seating arrangement.



According to an Auto Express source, the engine is almost production ready and some of the hybrid components will be taken from the X6 ActiveHybrid. If BMW is planning on production, look for a launch in 2012. More Photos
