Green E Line Skoda Concept Car
Mobility
for people and clean cars for the environment - these are Škoda's
commitments. Mobility without emissions is the future. "The Skoda
Octavia Green E Line embodies the values of the brand absolutely
perfectly - the vehicle combines the desire for individual mobility with
our environmental goals", said Škoda Auto BOD Chairman Prof. Dr.
Winfried Vahland.
The Green E Line concept is based on the
Škoda Octavia Combi. With its modular chassis design, this
series-production car is the ideal option in terms of arranging the
batteries, electronic control units and the electric engine with its
constant power of 60 kW and max. power of 85 kW. Available right after
the start (as is typical of this type of drive), the maximum torque of
270 Nm gives the car enough power for sharp acceleration and a good
amount of agility and responsiveness, which the driver will appreciate
mainly in busy city traffic. The OSkoda ctavia Green E Line Concept
accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just twelve seconds, and the car's
maximum speed is limited to 135 km/h.

The
electricity for the Skoda Octavia Green E Line Concept is supplied by a
modern lithium-ion battery. With a range-per-charge of 140 kilometres,
the Škoda Octavia Green E Line comfortably meets the requirements of
most everyday commuters in Europe. Located under the middle and rear
parts of the floor and extending partly into the luggage compartment,
the 26.5 kWh battery is made up of 180 lithium-ion cells (diameter 150
mm, length 650 mm) and weighs about 315 kilograms. However, the battery
has almost no impact on the volume of the passenger and luggage
compartments. The Skoda Octavia Green E Line Concept is fitted with five
comfortable seats, and its passenger compartment is identical with that
of the Octavia Combi with a combustion engine.
With smart
dashboard indicators, the driver of the Skoda Octavia Green E Line
always stays in control. The computer screen provides continuous
information including instant output, power consumption, battery charge
and the remaining range. The navigation display describes the energy
flow, i.e., informs the driver that the electric engine is being
supplied with electricity or, on the contrary, that it is generating
electricity as the car decelerates or goes downhill.

The
look of the Škoda Octavia Green E Line Concept conveys the
environmental-friendliness of its electric drive. Pearl-white exterior
colour and elegant chrome-trim on both the front and rear of the vehicle
as well as on the wheels create an impressive contrast with the glossy
black roof with integrated energy-generating photovoltaic panels.
Škoda
Auto is planning to create a test fleet of Octavias Green E Line in
2011 with the objective of obtaining additional information relevant to
the further development of the electric drive.
