New release of products from Chevrolet that has been perfected and will soon be marketed the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu ECO is a refinement of the Chevrolet Malibu with a color display and a new feature that many people who want to know the advantages of the Chevrolet Malibu ECO.
One day after the opening of the all-new Chevrolet Malibu, and despite nearly two years of its launch, GM announced the ECO version of the car.
2013 Malibu eAssist ECO utilize various fuel-saving technology into medium sedan’s most fuel efficient in the history of 100 years in 26 city / 38 mpg highway rating. Eco will hit the market in summer 2012.
eAssist this feature cars lithium-ion batteries and an electric motor generator to activate the electric regenerative braking assist and start-stop function. It is efficiently sized, weighing only 65 pounds (29 kg). That’s just part of the plan though, as the aerodynamics are also tweaked for better efficiency. The changes include enhancements and shutters aero underbody electronically controlled in the lattice is lower. They close at high speed to push more air over and around the vehicle, reducing drag.
2013 Chevrolet Malibu ECO is also equipped with ECO gauge useful in a cluster that gives you drive an eco-suggestions as you drive along! It comes with an Auto Stop indicator on the tachometer to tell the driver when the engine start-stop mode.
“The ECO Malibu is the smart choice for customers who want fuel economy is very good without the premium price of the popular hybrid sedan,” said Rick Scheidt, Chevrolet marketing vice president. “The estimated 38-mpg highway The ECO Malibu is comparable to the hybrid. Chevrolet Malibu ECO exemplifies the drive to use technology that provides high-value, the performance of gas-friendly,” said Scheidt. “In fact, giving ECO Malibu compact car fuel economy in the medium sedan.”
2013 Chevrolet Malibu ECO Features Cars:
eAssist details
Malibu eAssist ECO system is mated with the 2.4L Ecotec engine, four-cylinder direct injection and the next-generation six-speed automatic transmission. 2.4L engine efficient and lightweight, featuring a dual-overhead cam, direct injection, variable intake and time continuous discharge and electronic throttle control and a lightweight aluminum cylinder block and cylinder heads. It is rated at 180 horsepower is estimated (134 kW) and a variant of the same machine which is recognized as one of Ward’s Ten Best Machine in 2010.
Along with the transmission 2.4L Ecotec and six-speed, eAssist system uses power stored in batteries, air-cooled lithium-ion batteries to provide the necessary increase the electricity in various driving scenarios, optimize engine and transmission operation. A 115V lithium-ion batteries developed and the latest generation of 15-kW motor-generator unit to help improve fuel economy through:
Regenerative braking, which provides up to 15 kW of electricity to charge batteries
Providing up to 15 hp (11 kW) electric power assistance during heavy acceleration
Using electricity instead of gasoline when it stops, with start-stop function and smooth automatic machine
Aggressive fuel cut-off during deceleration down to zero mph for added fuel savings
Intelligent charge / discharge of high voltage batteries.
Providing up to 15 hp (11 kW) electric power assistance during heavy acceleration
Using electricity instead of gasoline when it stops, with start-stop function and smooth automatic machine
Aggressive fuel cut-off during deceleration down to zero mph for added fuel savings
Intelligent charge / discharge of high voltage batteries.
EAssist system captures up to 15kW of energy that would normally be lost during braking and uses it to recharge the lithium-ion battery. This system also shut down the fuel delivery within a certain deceleration conditions, continue to improve fuel economy. While in the mode of fuel shut-off, the motor-generator unit continues to rotate along with the machine to provide direct and smooth take-off power when the driver pressed the gas pedal. As the vehicle came to stop, start-stop function is active the engine when the motor-generator unit to bring the engine to stop fine to position properly for the smooth restarts when the brake is released.
A hill-assist brake system captures the pressure to help keep the vehicle stationary at start-stop function eAssist’s already activated on moderate or steep grade, allows the driver to accelerate more smoothly than it stops.
ECO Malibu eAssist power pack of lithium-ion batteries together, integrated 12V power inverter and power supply. It is located in the trunk, behind the backseat. Generator-electric motor mounted to the engine in place of the alternator to provide both help and functions of the motor-power plants through a system of belt-drive machine. Motor-generator is a high performance, compact induction motor that liquid-cooled to enhance performance and efficiency. An electric fan cools the power pack, drawing air from the vents located behind the rear seat.
EAssist Thanks to technology, which also allows a lower final drive ratio numerically, ECO Malibu can travel 550 miles between fill-ups, although it only has a 15.8-gallon gas tank.
Aero efficiency
ECO Malibu – 2013 Malibu and the entire lineup – is designed to be aerodynamically efficient, with a coefficient of drag performance electric vehicle striking near the Chevrolet Volt extended-range.
aerodynamic design engineers removed about 60 of the wind drag of the new Malibu, compared to its predecessor. Malibu spent hundreds of hours in the GM wind tunnel, the fine-tuning the shape to maximize fuel efficiency. For example, engineer-shaped front corner of Malibu that runs the air so close and uninterrupted along the side of the rear of the vehicle body.
ECO Malibu is one of the first in the middle segment with the system, fuel-efficient active shutter grid is lower. This active shutter system ECO Malibu automatically close the air flow through the intake hole is lower when the air intake is at least necessary. When closed, the shutter system improve aero performance by diverting the flow of air around the front of the vehicle and down the sides, rather than through it. shutter is open or closed based on engine coolant temperature and speed. For example, the windows open when the car traveled up a hill, pulling a trailer, or in a hot city driving; windows closed at highway speeds when the engine coolant is not required.
Another aerodynamic feature in Malibu ECO includes:
outside rearview mirror designed to maximize aerodynamic efficiency
Taillamps formed to aero performance without a fine design
Four underbody panels – more commonly found on premium cars-prices – covering about 50 percent from the bottom of the vehicle and provide clean aerodynamic flow path in the vehicle
