Crash-tested Volvo C30 Electric - Click above for high-res image gallery

At last year's Detroit Auto Show, Volvo brought along a road-ready C30 Electric. In the intervening months, we've driven the great little car, but we're glad we were not behind the wheel when one crashed at 40 miles per hour recently. Thankfully, nobody was, since the car was involved in a planned crash test by Volvo to, in the words of Volvo CEO Stefan Jacoby, "show the world what a truly safe electric car looks like after a collision with high-speed impact."

Volvo, as you probably know, prides itself on safety, but dealing with 310 pounds of a 24 kWh pack of lithium batteries (and a tiny ethanol-powered heater) means rethinking the way the car's safety zones need to be designed. Jacoby said that, "Our tests show it is vital to separate the batteries from the electric car's crumple zones to make it as safe as a conventional car."

A fully charged C30 Electric was sent into a standard offset collision - where 40 percent of the car hit a barrier at 40 mph - last month, and the resulting wreck will be on display at the Detroit Auto Show beginning at today's media days. According to a statement by Jan Ivarsson, Volvo's senior manager for safety strategy & requirements:

The test produced exactly the results we expected. The C30 Electric offers the very same high safety level as a C30 with a combustion engine. The front deformed and distributed the crash energy as we expected. Both the batteries and the cables that are part of the electric system remained entirely intact after the collision.

Some changes Volvo implemented with the C30 Electric compared to the internal combustion C30 are reinforced front crumple zones to make up for the smaller motor, a reinforced structure around the battery pack and redundant fuses and sensors that can cut the power when some moron crosses into your lane and plows into your new EV. You can watch video of a similar C30 Electric crash test here. The all-electric C30 is slated to enter production in 2011.

Electroengine electrifies Volvo C70, adds the animal to the beauty
Classé dessous : EV/Plug-in, Volvo, Europe/EU Volvo C70 a un certain attrait nordique indéniable et maintenant Electroengine a doté un exemple du coupé convertible avec une boîte de vitesse électrique unique qui ajoute une certaine bête à cette beauté. Cet électrique vrai roule maintenant avec toute la commande de roue et assez de chevaux pour l'apporter à jusqu'à 100 km/h (62 Miles par heure) dedans au-dessous de six secondes. C'est au-dessus d'un deuxième et à moitié plus vite que le modèle 2011 avec un turbo'd 2.5 litres. Et c'est en dépit d'être de 300 kilogrammes (661 livres) de plus lourd. Hé, 56 kWhs des batteries au lithium - assez des 200 milles hauts d'entraînement - sont toujours assez lourds. Avec YASA circule en voiture à chaque coin, Volvo converti perd sa boîte de vitesse et différentiel, sans compter le boeuf de couple lié à la commande de roue avant. Elle gagne, cependant, la capacité pour la commande précise de traction et le couple dirigeant dans le processus. Malheureusement, Volvo « C70-TE4WDD » ne sera pas offert en vente. Electroengine est plus d'a de réalisateur de technologie plutôt que le fabricant ambitieux et la voiture est signifié comme démonstrateur. Ce projet a été fait avec trois commanditaires du secteur de l'énergie de la Suède et joint un ZE Saab 9-3 et un bateau de Nimbus de 27 pieds sur la liste de la compagnie d'accomplissements au cours de la dernière année. Frappez le saut pour plus de détails dans le communiqué de presse officiel.

ON 2010: President Stefan Jacoby of Volvo likes now the electrical motor vehicles, because he led one
Filed under: Diesel, EV/Plug-in, Volvo, AutoblogGreen Exclusive, LA Auto Show

Volvo CEO Stefan Jacoby has never been the biggest fan of electric vehicles (EVs), having said in the past that mainstream affordability and widespread readiness are many years away. Speaking at the Los Angeles Auto Show today, Jacoby sounded a slightly different tune - for a while.

In a speech to the Motor Press Guild, Jacoby highlighted his company's work on plug-in vehicles. Earlier this year, Jacoby moved from Volkswagen to the top spot at Volvo and has had to adjust to his new home. After all, Volvo is further along the plug-in vehicle path than Volkswagen is. Last month, Volvo said it will offer a limited production run of electrified C30s early next year and a plug-in hybrid diesel in 2012. Compare this to VW's 2013-2014 timeline.

In any case, Jacoby touted the electric C30's zero-emission status, saying, "This car is powered solely by electricity and entirely without exhaust emissions." This is only partly true, because, as far as we know, the electric C30 has an ethanol-burning engine that provides heat to the cabin. We're going to get behind the wheel of one of these vehicles later today, so we'll double-check if anything has changed.

One thing we know has changed is Jacoby's slight softening on his anti-EV stance. Jacoby is still bullish on increased use of diesel engines in the U.S. market, but we wanted to know what convinced him to show his pro-EV side. He replied:

Maybe because I've driven the Volvo prototypes. It's really fun to drive the C30 DRIVe electric. I like also the prototypes which are running on the road already with respect to the plug-in hybrid. This is a car where we are really competitive and we can utilize our knowledge with the electrification, not only for pure electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids, but we will use them also to empower our traditional downsized gasoline engines. So, we are using electrification in various areas. It is an absolutely new field for us, as well. It is necessary for us to start now. It will take quite a lot of time until we see a significant share of electric vehicles in the market, but we have to work on this technology right now in order to gain experience.

The longest journey start with the smallest step... onto an EV's accelerator pedal.
