BMW Vision EfficientDynamics is a combination of the potential of BMW ActiveHybrid technology, and the power of BMW EfficientDynamics.
Technology on BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept car consists of a full-hybrid concept, and is powered by a three-cylinder turbodiesel and two electric motors.
The combination of these technologies provides overall system output of 262 kW/356 hp, with maximum torque at 800 Newton-metres/590 lb-ft. The car is an all-wheel drive consisting of an electric motor on both rear and front axles.
Projected performance is anticipated to be in the region of zero to 100km/h in 4.8 seconds, with a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph) - this is electronically limited. Fuel consumption in the EU test cycle measured at 3.76 litres/100km, with CO2 emissions 99 grams/kilometre.
Electric power is generated without compromising any fuel consumption efficiency, using a particularly efficient concept of Brake Energy Regeneration. The energy is stored in 98 lithium polymer cells, with a range of about 50 km using the electric mode alone.
