VW \"Concept 1\" 1.4L Hybrid TDI 132 MPG: Got info?
Ok, so I picked up this second hand book on the development of the new Beetle (The New Beetle, by Matt DeLorenzo, Motor Books International, 1998, ISBN 0760306443). In the appendices, page 88, appendix A, "Technical Data" for the New Beetle Concept 1 car, it lists the stats for the 1.9 TDI, the 2.0 gasser, and a hybrid TDI version:
Hybrid:
3 cylinder TDI, 1.4L, 67 hp, 103 lb-ft.
AC induction motor, 24 hp, NiMhH battery, 10kw, 55Ah, 180v.
Max speed= 102 mph.
Fuel consumption = 132.4 MPG.
There is no more info in the text at all!
Does anyone have more info on this engine, or links?
I could only find dieseldorf's quick mention of it in an old response to a hybrid thread. It looks like it is NOT the same as the Audi A2, nor the Lupo that was using sun fuels.
Any info appreciated. Thanks.
