VW „Mission Efficiency“: Dieses Effizienzwunder von VW setzt auf einen Polo-Motor
Mit dem Kleinserienauto XL1 wollte VW 2013 die überlegene Effizienz des Dieselmotors zeigen. Dieses Mal fährt das Sparmodell elektrisch und erreicht extrem niedrige Verbrauchswerte.
Wolfsburg, Germany - The Volkswagen "Mission Efficiency" limousine showcases an exceptionally efficient electric vehicle study. During a 1,278-kilometer journey from Wolfsburg across Poland and into Austria, the 2+2 vehicle consumed an average of 6.89 kWh of electricity per 100 kilometers, including charging losses at 7.51 kWh. In an ideal drive at a constant 68 km/h, excluding inclines and air conditioning, the study reported 6.48 kWh/100 km.
With a cW value of 0.158, the "Mission Efficiency" achieves the lowest value among road-legal cars. This efficiency is attributed to its aerodynamic shape, concealed rear wheels, closed floor, and active cooling air flaps. The 99 kW/135 PS electric motor and battery are sourced from the upcoming ID. Polo, while solar panels on the roof and hatchback contribute electricity to the vehicle's power grid.
This efficiency concept is not new for Volkswagen; the 2013 XL1 already utilized a similar aerodynamic design with concealed rear wheels and exceptionally low air resistance, eventually entering a small series.
