    Renault EOLAB Concept - Salão de Paris 2014

    Renault EOLAB Concept

    Renault has revealed its new Eolab concept car, a petrol-electric hybrid which is reputed to average 282mpg and emit just 22/gkm of CO2.

    The model, which will make its public debut at the Paris motor shownext month, acts as a preview to a new production B-segment model which will appear "within 10 years", according to Renault. It also answers a challenge set by the French government to put a car capable of returning 141mpg into production by 2020.

    The French manufacturer says that in order to reach its frugal economy target, its engineers concentrated on reducing the concept’s weight, refining its aerodynamics and getting the best performance from its petrol-electric powertrain.

    The results mean the concept weighs 955kg, about 400kg less than the current Renault Clio. It also comes with a drag coefficient of 0.235, some 30 per cent less than the Clio.

    Other weight-saving elements include a new bonnet that is fixed and therefore lighter because it doesn't need any latching mechanism, a thinner windscreen and a magnesium roof that weighs 4.5kg.

    Powering the concept is a hybrid power unit that comprises a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder SCe petrol engine, producing 74bhp and 70lb ft, and an electric motor, which is claimed to produce 67bhp and 148lb ft.

    The permanent magnet electric motor is integrated into the housing of the car's compact three-speed transmission, which sends drive to the front wheels.
    The first two speeds of the transmission are used only by the electric motor, with the third gear being driven by the internal combustion engine, and the automated control unit permits a blend of electric or hybrid outputs. Renault says this transmission offers numerous weight and cost-saving benefits compared to usual CVT or dual-clutch options.

    A selectable ‘weekend’ mode allows the car to function as a conventional hybrid for greater range, with both power sources working together and the battery being charged via braking and deceleration.

    The Eolab will be presented in two forms at the Paris show. One car will showcase the car’s technology and the other will be a design study.Renault says it has used “warm and sensual lines” to create the Eolab's exterior. The car sits on 19-inch carbon-aluminium wheels shod in Michelin rubber.

    A series of active flaps and a front spoiler also open at speed, directing air flow and cooling the engine if necessary.

    Inside, the three-door Eolab concept features four leather seats and a ‘floating’ centre console. An 11-inch touchscreen tablet, inspired by Renault’s production R-Link system, controls most infotainment functions and also provides real-time updates on how efficiently the car is being driven. Lights inside the car also change colour according to driving style.

    A digital, height-adjustable instrument cluster sits in front of the driver. It features two smartphone-sized screens which display car data and navigation information. The car’s side mirrors are replaced by cameras, which feed directly into screens mounted close to the windscreen pillars.

    The Eolab contains 100 new technology innovations, says Renault, which will eventually find their way into the firm’s road cars.

    The project's leader, Jean-Pierre Fouquet, says the Eolab concept wouldn't be too costly to put into production: “Today, most of the market’s hybrid vehicles are upper-segment cars with a price tag of more than €40,000 (around £31,900).

    “The solutions showcased by Eolab are much more economical and enable hybrid technology to be used for smaller cars and on a much bigger scale. Our objective is to produce a car with two power sources for the price of one".

    Any production version of the Eolab is likely to rival Peugeot’s Hybrid Air technology if it goes on sale. Peugeot’s 2008 Hybrid Air prototype is capable of returning 106mpg and CO2 emissions of 50g/km, although it is still at least three years away from production.

    EOLAB - A showcase of Renault innovation for the environment

    Renault presents EOLAB, a new prototype which explores ways to deliver ultra-low fuel consumption. It boasts NEDC combined cycle consumption* of 1 litre/100km, equivalent to 22g of CO2/km.

    To achieve such low figures, the designers focused their efforts on three main areas: minimising weight, refining aerodynamics and using “Z.E. Hybrid” technology for all, a brand new initiative which permits zero emissions* motoring during everyday use.

    As an innovative showcase with an environmental core, EOLAB includes a very high number of technological advances that are destined to be carried over gradually to vehicles available in the showroom. As a consequence, EOLAB underlines the undertaking of Renault – already a pioneer in the field of zero-emission mobility** thanks to its range of electric vehicles – to take even greater steps to produce affordable models that have an increasingly smaller carbon footprint.

      Renault Eolab anuncia 1l/100 km

      O estudo híbrido a gasolina que será apresentado no Salão de Paris antecipa um modelo de produção previsto para daqui a dez anos.

      A Renault revelou o Eolab, uma montra tecnológica que anuncia consumos de 1l/100 km e emissões de CO2 de 22 g/km. Este estudo híbrido a gasolina antecipa um modelo híbrido de produção cujo lançamento está previsto para daqui a cerca de uma década. A marca francesa justifica estes valores por via da redução do peso (por via da utilização de materiais mais leves como o alumínio e o magnésio – representando uma redução de 400 kg face à média dos automóveis do segmento B), aerodinâmica (através da introdução, entre outros, de um spoiler ativo e flapslaterais que se ativam como ailerons) e a estreia da tecnologia Z.E Hybrid (uma nova solução híbrida recarregável que assegura consumos reduzidos e que permite circular em modo 100% elétrico em trajetos inferiores a 60 km a uma velocidade até 120 km/h).

      Segundo a Renault, o concept Eolab é um ensaio que prepara tecnologias para colocar em prática no mercado até 2020 um automóvel capaz de consumos inferiores a 2l/100 km. Este objetivo corresponde, por sua vez, ao desafio lançado pelo governo francês no âmbito do plano “Nouvelle France Industrielle”.

              Restyling para o Clio 4, essa frente? Tendo em conta que o Captur tem os farois assim mais finos que o Clio e que o novo que aí vem (especie de Qashqai da Renault) tambem tudo aponta para farois assim, o Clio mais tarde ou mais cedo vai ter de levar com a frente de família.

                  O Clio foi o carro que estreou este estilo na Renault, apesar dos faróis mais altos.
                  Se a Renault começar a fazer frentes iguais, na minha opinião, só mostra tolice, tendo em conta que já mostraram, em protótipos (e até em veículos de produção, vide os lançamentos realizados com esta linguagem, descontando restyles), ser possível manter um ar de família sem ter frentes iguais.

                  EDIT: Quanto ao carro. Não está mal. Provavelmente, mostra o caminho que será seguido naquele que me parece ser o próximo lançamento: Mégane. Talvez o Laguna, se é que vai mesmo ser lançado um sucessor.

                  Os faróis frontais e a forma como jogam com o pára-choques a nível de superfícies parecem-me semelhantes ao do mais recente Civic.

                          Já repararam que existem dois carros diferentes?
                          O que está a ser apresentado no salão é só para show off e apresenta soluções estilisticas diferentes do protótipo rolante que conhecemos anteriormente.
                          Dá logo para ver pelo corte da porta dianteira.

                              [Teste] - Renault EOLAB Concept - AutoExpress


                              Behind the pristine and beautifully sculpted exterior of a concept car you won’t often find many oily bits. However, the RenaultEOLAB is a little bit different because this concept is also a prototype. Following its debut at the Paris Motor Show earlier this month, Renault has decided not to wrap its multi-million pound hybrid concept car up in cotton wool. Auto Express has driven it and there is a lot more to the EOLAB than just a pretty face.

                              Read more about the Renault EOLAB concept car

                              For two years, Renault has been working on the EOLAB after initially being tasked by the French government to develop a financially viable car that consumes only 2 litres/100km of fuel – or 141mpg. But Renault thought it could do better, and it did. The EOLAB is capable of 282mpg – or so Renault claims – and features more than 100 new technical innovations all centered around boosting efficiency.

                              The fundamentals of the EOLAB are simple, shed weight, improve aerodynamic efficiency and utilize hybrid power. However, the challenge was combing those factors and executing it precisely so it remains affordable. Renault believes it has achieved this with the EOLAB but while the car won’t make it into production as you see it, the technology and up to 90 per cent of its components could be applied to Renault’s road cars by 2022. Some of the technology can already be seen in the new Espace.



                              Rather than add cost to the development of the EOLAB, Renault has moved the money around production process to where it’s needed most. So while the advanced body is more costly to produce it allows Renault to implement cheaper, simpler and lighter brakes, powertrains, batteries and wheels.

                              The engine in the EOLAB is a development of the existing 74bhp 1.0-litre three-cylinder motor you’ll find in the Twingo, which is assisted by a compact 64bhp electric motor. The hybrid system is installed in a body that’s 30 per cent more aerodynamic and 255kg lighter than an equally proportioned Clio, thanks to a teardrop-like shape and extensive use of aluminium, magnesium and plastic.

                              It’s a complex piece of engineering but best of all it works, and it works well. There is always enough power supplied by the electric motor for you to pull away in full EV mode, which is does with a fair amount of zip. Once you reach 25mph the three-cylinder engine kicks in to boost power. The transition between driving modes is detectable only by noise, there’s no vibrations or jolt from the intervening 1.0-litre engine to aid progress. Work needs to be done on refining the power shift but it is works effectively with fluid power delivery.



                              The gearbox needs some fine-tuning, too. Renault has opted to use a clutchless three-speed auto in place of a bulky CVT auto. Two of the three gears are mated to the electric motor, while the third is connected to the small petrol engine. It’s loud and a little clunky with its changes but it is a unique enough idea for us to forgive its initial flaws.

                              The cabin, however, has been executed perfectly. Cosmetically it’s a little rough around the edges, but what prototype isn’t? iPhone sized screens for wing mirrors, a huge central HMI display which instructs you how to be more economical and supportive but lightweight seats are all innovative ideas. On a practical level, it’s considerably lower than a Clio but offers just as much space inside.
                              Jab the throttle and at 43mph active aero dynamics come into play. The EOLAB lowers itself by 25mm, deploys its active front spoiler which drops by 100mm and seals up the eight-spoke wheels to improve air flow, which only reopen when the brakes need cooling.

                              The ultra-skinny tyres provide decent levels of grip despite their size, although there is some noticeable lean in the corners. But it does have some urgency in the way it builds up speed, with Renault claiming 0-62mph in 9 seconds – the same as a 120bhp Clio – so it feels lively. The steering is positively weighted with good feedback, so it appears Renault hasn’t completely neglected driver engagement in the pursuit of ultimate economy.



                              Key specs

                              • Price: n/a
                              • Engine: 1.0-litre 3 cyl petrol (74bhp), electric motor (64bhp)
                              • Transmission: Three-speed auto, front-wheel drive
                              • 0-62mph: 9.0 seconds

                              • Top speed: 75mph (limited)
                              • Economy/CO2: 282mpg/22g/km
                              • On sale: 2022



                              Verdict

                              The idea behind the Renault EOLAB’s development centred around having such a car available to buy within 10 years. It looks fantastic, drives largely like a supermini and there has been no compromise on performance despite the remarkable efficiency gains. While a comparative showroom version is some way off, we could well be looking at the Renault Clio of the future.
