Η NEVS, η νέα ιδιοκτήτρια της Saab, παρουσιάζει το ηλεκτρικό πρωτότυπο Saab 9-3. To Saab 9-3 EV prototype βασίζεται το 9-3 Aero Sedan και τροφοδοτείται από έναν ηλεκτροκινητήρα

100 kW (140 ίππων) που παίρνει ενέργεια από ένα πακέτο μπαταριών ιόντων-λιθίου. Τα 0-100 χλμ/ώρα τα κάνει σε 10 δευτερόλεπτα, έχοντας τελική ταχύτητα 120 χλμ/ώρα, ενώ μπορεί να διανύσει 200 χλμ με μια φόρτιση.

Οι μπαταρίες είναι τοποθετημένες στο πάτωμα του αυτοκινήτου, προσφέροντας εκτός από χαμηλότερο κέντρο βάρους, και κατανομή βάρους 50/50, με τον χώρο αποσκευών να παραμένει αμετάβλητος.

Nevs’ Electric Vehicle shown today

Today Nevs presented the Saab 9-3 Electric Vehicle as designed and produced as part of a prototype series in Trollhättan.

The car is a modified Saab 9-3 Aero Sedan where the batteries are placed under the floor, keeping the full interior space as well as the luggage compartment intact. With that, the Saab 9-3 EV is just as practical as the Saab 9-3 Aero with gasoline engine.

The Saab 9-3’s famous driving-experience is of course preserved in the EV, helped by its low center of gravity and a 50/50 weight distribution.

“We are happy to present the result of Nevs engineering into a real Saab EV product. The Saab cars’ well-known performance and safety is maintained and we foresee a very good product for the market. When we developed the Saab 9-3 Aero Sedan Model Year 14, we focused on enhancing the driving experience, safety and quality. And the starting point for our development of the Electric Vehicle project was to maintain all the good attributes and characteristics”, said Stig Nodin, Vice President Engineering and Product Development.

The car shown in Trollhättan today is one from the first prototype series of cars and it was produced in the Trollhättan plant in May.

The car is equipped with lithium-ion batteries from Beijing National Battery Technology, a company within the Chinese group of green tech companies owned by Kai Johan Jiang’s company National Modern Energy Holdings Ltd.

In this phase of the development the performance of the prototype series are limited to:

The range for this prototype series of cars is approximately 200 km.Acceleration 0-100 km/h, 0-60 mph 10 sec.Maximum speed of 120 km/h.Engine power 140 hp, 100 kW.The prototype series have multiple reasons:

To enhance the understanding of EV’s in the complete company.To serve as a reference for specification of coming production model(s).To be used as a test bench for technical development.To verify the manufacturing setup.
