在本届日内瓦车展上有数家欧洲车厂推出了采用柴油引擎加电动机的新的概念版混合动力车型,某些概念车,比如大众的新款高尔夫TDI Hybrid油耗低至3.35升/百公里。尽管如此,混合动力技术的先驱丰田公司却没有推出柴油混合动力车的计划。丰田CEO渡边捷昭在日内瓦对记者表示,由于我们已经在日本推出了柴油混合动力卡车,因此从技术上讲,柴油混合动力乘用车是可行的,但这种车的成本将高于汽油混合动力车。现在我们还没有推出柴油混合动力车的计划。丰田现在更关注电池技术,据《汽车新闻》报道,它正在开发锂电池技术,希望通过努力提高锂电池车的行驶里程。 Toyota rules out diesel hybrids A number of Europe’s major carmakers used this week’s Geneva Motor Show to unveil new concepts combining the frugalness of a compact diesel engine with the fuel-saving capability of a hybrid electric drivetrain. Some of the concepts, such as Volkswagen’s new TDI Hybrid, return fuel-economy of close to 70mpg (3.35L/100km). Despite the staggering results, hybrid technology pioneer Toyota has no plans for the oil-burning hybrid. Speaking to reports in Geneva, Toyota president Katsuaki Watanabe said there were no sell diesel hybrid cars. “Technologically, a passenger car with a diesel hybrid is feasible for us since we already have a truck in Japan with a diesel hybrid. But a diesel hybrid car would cost more than a gasoline hybrid. Today we have no plans to introduce a diesel hybrid,” Watanabe said. Toyota is instead focusing on battery technology and is reported by Automotive News to be looking past lithium-ion technology in an effort to boost electric-only driving distances. |
