The BMW 5 Series switches to the hybrid

The BMW 5 Series switches to the hybrid  CO2 emissions reduced to 149 g / km for the BMW ActiveHybrid 5 

BMW launches new BMW ActiveHybrid 5. Powered by a six-cylinder and an electric motor, the great German road has a combined engine power of 340 hp (250 kW) and maximum torque of 450 Newton-meters. 

With its six-cylinder 306 hp (225 kW) BMW TwinPower Turbo technology and synchronous electric motor of 55 hp (40 kW), the 5 Series Hybrid is propelled from zero to 100 km / h in 5.9 seconds. 

Both engines send power to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. During acceleration, the electric motor supports the gasoline engine producing a maximum torque of 210 lb-ft engine available in the early laps. The power supply has an effect that intensifies significantly boost the sporty driving experience driving the BMW sedan. 

BMW ActiveHybrid technology of last generation with lithium-ion battery, allows the 5 Series hybrid drive in electric mode at speeds up to 60 km / h. In city traffic, the 5 Series hybrid can travel 4 km in electric mode at an average speed of 35 km / h. 

Deceleration, speeds of up to 160 km / h, the engine can be cut and completely decoupled. Mode "freewheel" allows operator to drive in the kinetic energy already produced. 

Via the command control of the dynamic behavior, the BMW ActiveHybrid 5 different modes of action. The driver modes "Sport", "Sport", "Comfort" and "Eco Pro." This method favors the operation of the all-electric car. 

The BMW ActiveHybrid 5 has a stop function and automatic stop-start restart adapted to the hybrid. Depending on the state of battery charge and power via the throttle applied, it starts the electric motor or both power sources to restart the car when the driver releases the brake pedal. 

Consists of 96 cells and with its own cooling system, the lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 675 watt-hours energy useful. It is responsible during deceleration and braking of the 5 Series hybrid. The electric motor then acts as a generator. It injects electrical energy in the high voltage battery. 

The power electronics is interconnected with the navigation system of the BMW ActiveHybrid 5. The adjustment component of the hybrid drive system is adapted to the driving situation. 

The hybrid sedan brand claims to the propeller, according to the European driving cycle and depending on tire size, emissions of CO2 per kilometer from 149 to 163 g / km and an average consumption of 6.4 to 7, 0 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. 

The battery is integrated into the luggage compartment. The integration of the lithium-ion accompanied by a reduction in the volume of loading the trunk of the 5 Series Hybrid to 375 liters, 145 liters less than the BMW 5-Series petrol engine.
