Geneva Motor Show Commercial Vehicles and Components Focus on Green Technology


If the Hanover International Commercial Vehicles and Components Show is the main commercial vehicle, the Geneva International Motor Show will show a strong degree of inclusiveness. Recently, at the 83rd Geneva International Motor Show in 2013, although the brands and models of commercial vehicles exhibited were not as rich as the Hannover International Commercial Vehicles and Components Show, commercial vehicles exhibited still exhibited the characteristics of being in line with the development of the times.

The concept car is very popular

The Geneva Motor Show has been sitting in the forefront of the world’s most eye-catching auto show for its objectivity and reason. The design concept of commercial vehicles participating in this exhibition not only inherits the essence of scientific rational design, but also realizes the surpassing of this foundation, playing the concept card, and demonstrating bold and courageous advancement.

At this Geneva Motor Show, Mitsubishi brought its latest Concept pickup truck model, which was named GR-HEV. It is understood that the new car is equipped with a diesel hybrid system. The chief designer of the model revealed that the design of this pickup concept car uses a new design language and the overall design shows the design route of Mitsubishi's future models. At the same time, the research, development and application of energy-saving and emission-reduction technologies are indicative of the future development direction of the brand. This model is equipped with a new-generation 4WD system formed by Super-Select 4WD and Super Four Select Wheel System (S-AWC), which has been developed by Mitsubishi Pajero. , to ensure that it exerts excellent driving performance.

In addition, Mitsubishi Motors has officially released the CA-MiEV concept car. It is understood that the CA-MiEV concept car is a pure electric vehicle. The design concept stems from Mitsubishi Motors' first mass production and sales of Mitsubishi electric cars in 2009. "i-MiEV" is a concept vehicle that is proposed in the future for electric vehicles, and has a range of 300 kilometers after a single full charge. The CA-MiEV concept car features beautiful lines, aerodynamic body and lightweight body structure, which can guarantee its considerable endurance. The CA-MiEV is the prototype of Mitsubishi's next-generation pure electric vehicle. It uses high-capacity new batteries and new DC motors and inverters to provide high-performance brake energy recovery. It is worth mentioning that the car adopts a new wireless charging system. This system can charge the vehicle without the use of traditional wires and has advanced technical advantages.

Toyota also announced the new Toyota Motorway at this year's Geneva International Motor Show. The car has excellent off-road and carrying capacity and has been the leader in pickup trucks. The new Toyota's elegant exterior design has a distinctly American style. The large air intake grill almost occupies the entire front end. It matches the headlights with slightly rising outer corners and resembles a bull's head. The interior uses a lot of vertical lines to keep it simple. Generous and neat hardcore style. It is reported that the Toyota pickup truck has three versions of the 5.7-liter V8 engine, the 4.0-liter V6 engine and the 4.6-liter V8 engine, while the transmission is matched with a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic transmission.

In terms of commercial vehicle display, Ford has always been relatively mysterious. Prior to this, it was reported that Ford’s exhibiting vehicle may have been a newly designed Atlas pickup concept car that has been released at the North American International Auto Show. The car will become the design of the new generation F-150. prototype. The Ford F-150 pickup truck has been ranked first in the US sales charts for a long time. Although it is approaching replacement, it still sold 665,000 vehicles in 2012, an increase of 10 percentage points compared to 2011, and the design of the Atlas pickup truck concept car was also And it's a lot of attention. But Atlas is still a representative of American muscle pickup.

Ford finally exhibited its TourneoCourier 5-seater at the Geneva Motor Show. The family-owned Transit Connect will be available next spring and will be on the same platform as the Carnival/B-MAX. The front face looks similar to Ford's new Carnival, which uses chrome trim. Details in the interior are also decorated with chrome and leather seats. Both sides are easily accessible with side-sliding doors, and the rear seats support 60/40 ratios.

Power System Green

Due to the latest Euro VI emission standards in Europe, most of the commercial vehicles exhibited at Geneva have adopted hybrid power systems or purely electric power systems, providing more environmentally-friendly and green solutions for power systems.

Mitsubishi's concept model "MITSUBISHIConceptGR-HEV" is a diesel version of the hybrid system. This model has a popular Mitsubishi pickup truck type in the emerging countries' automotive consumer market. It is equipped with Mitsubishi's FR*3 under development. The concept is a prototype HEV system that is a combination of a diesel engine with outstanding fuel economy performance and a high-performance motor and battery. This system can control the CO2 emission of the vehicle during driving to a level of 140 g/km, with a view to achieving Top high environmental performance.

The concept vehicle "MITSUBISHI IConcept CA-MiEV" is powered by a high energy density battery that Mitsubishi Motors is developing, and a new generation of high efficiency EV systems (drive motors, inverters, brake energy recovery, and non-contact charging systems). EV technology, as well as thorough implementation of lightweight body design concepts and improved aerodynamic performance, make the model's cruising range reach 300 kilometers. A senior person who studies commercial vehicles said that the improvement of cruising mileage will not only have a huge incentive effect on the future development of commercial vehicles powered by pure electricity, but also has a strong reference for reference.

Component Innovation for Environmental Protection

For commercial vehicles, there is often a paradox between the environmental protection of the power system and the strong output of maintaining power. Pursuing the energy saving and emission reduction of the power system often means losing part of the power output. At this time, the technological innovation of the core component manufacturers is particularly important. Among these, the tire technology innovation is particularly noticeable. In fact, the important significance of upgrading tire technical indicators has caused widespread concern in the automotive industry as early as last year, and this year is no exception.

Tire products have a significant impact on the environmental protection of wheels. This is due to technological innovations in tire products such as tire pressure control technology, electric vehicle tire technology, radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, and many technological innovations such as innovative spring tires. It is understood that the tire pressure auto-control function is an innovative technology that can keep the tires in an optimal state of inflation without using additional air pumps or electronic devices, while the electric vehicle tire technology is mainly applied to electric vehicles. Reduce the level of environmental noise in electric vehicles and noise-limited cities. The adoption of the above two technologies is of great significance for improving the urban living environment.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology can improve the tire's intelligence through the use of implantable electronic devices in tires; spring tire is a non-pneumatic tire with 800 load-bearing springs, which has excellent durability and high energy efficiency. It is especially suitable for heavy-duty commercial vehicles traveling long distances under harsh road conditions.

At present, the above-mentioned tire series technology is being applied more and more to various models, and it is far-reaching to resolve the lack of power in hybrid vehicles.
