Saab will be presented in Paris a 9-3 all-electric in the body of a SportCombi. This prototype will also be tested in real situations with no less than 70 carriages strolling on the roads of Sweden at the beginning of next year.
The Saab 9-3 ePower is the first car to offer all-electric comfort and volume of a break. In fact, engineers have built a brand electrical architecture in the envelope and the dimensions of a 9-3 Sport-Hatch "classic".
Under the hood, an electric motor of 184 hp (135 kW) drives the front wheels via a single speed box. The instantaneous availability of torque provides acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in 8.5 seconds, along with a top speed of 150 km / h.
The battery pack Li-Ion 35.5 kW / h, small but powerful, is fitted in the floor pan, mainly in the space previously occupied by the exhaust system and the reservoir in the wheelbase. The weight distribution is présevée and driving dynamics is comparable to that of the usual 9-3 Sport-Hatch.
Inside, a selection lever conventional style automatic transmission, offers positions "drive" (forward), "neutral" (neutral), "park" (parking) and reverse (reverse). On the dashboard, tachometer and fuel control / turbo disappear profile of a level display of battery charge, power consumption and autonomy, all lit in green.
In addition, an electric parking brake saves space.
The management uses to support hydroelectric power and the carrier has an air conditioning provided by a compressor powered by the battery. Via a transformer, the latter also charges a battery of 12 volts Annex fueling the fires and interior accessories.
The power plant operation is controlled by a specific version of Trionic 8 - system management engine house - with a new software dedicated to electrical application.
With a goal of autonomy of about 200 km, the Saab 9-3 ePower pushes the boundaries of existing electric vehicles. It owes this performance to battery cells, whose energy density exceeds that of the best batteries currently located on electric cars, while helping to reduce weight.
With a capacity of 35.5 kW / h, the battery is designed to operate at full power until an outdoor temperature of -30 C or 10 C below the minimum operating other batteries on the market. Additional major advantage: air cooling, not water, which lowers costs and helps to further alleviate the block.
By design, the battery is designed to carry charge cycles corresponding to ten years of average use. It can be recharged from a household outlet within three to six hours, depending on the level of discharge. But this time may be reduced if we increase the supply voltage, since the input capacitance of the battery is not limited.
Saab relies on road tests to validate the performance of the battery pack, designed to operate reliably until the "buffer" to load, set at only 12% of total capacity. The elements lithium ion are also the first to receive the Nordic Ecolabel for their environmental friendliness and sustainability, including production process.
Moreover, the 9-3 ePower meets the standards of crashworthiness as applied to all Saab vehicles. The motor is located outside the cockpit, in an area with non-deformable structure, wrapped and well protected. As for system management and monitoring of the battery, it works safely in normal driving as an accident.
Hundreds of motorists and their families will be put to use by Saab during a test drive program which will put into circulation a fleet of 70 Saab 9-3 ePower over the period 2011-2012, central, west and east of Sweden.
