About Hybrid Minivans
For the American market the hybrid minivan is still elusive. But there is hope. Hyundai presented their newest model at the Paris Auto show. This Korean manufacturer presented the world with a hybrid minivan named the Santa Fe. It will be available in Korea the summer of 2009 with possible expansion to America later in the year.
For those of us that think Green, this little hybrid minivan only produces just over ½ lb of CO2 emissions per mile driven. Reports have the fuel mileage being between 38 and 44 mpg.
This entire savings comes from a 2.4 L conventional engine joined with a 40 horsepower electric motor. The electric motor is capable of 151 pounds of torque. This power train is managed by a six speed automatic transmission with an additional 30 kW electric motor.
Since this is a new hybrid vehicle, the engineers developed it with the latest technology available. This includes the best battery system now in use. The new 270V lithium polymer batteries have an increase in density, which helps them hold a charge longer than the conventional nickel-lead batteries.
To help with the fuel efficiency friction was reduced in all areas of the drive train and cooling system. In addition, just like the GM 2-mode hybrid system, when the car is at idle, only the electric motor is running. The conventional engine is switched off to conserve fuel.
The Santa Fe’s all new features and drive train are packaged in the same body and frame as its conventional counterpart. This can only mean all of the increases in fuel mileage and improvements were engineered into the new systems.
So look for the first hybrid minivan in the American market in late 2009.
