Hybrid Scooter 3 Wheel from Peugeot
Three wheel scooter appearances Peugeot is certainly not too weird for Piaggio community in Jakarta and surrounding areas. Because, in Jakarta, the form and how to drive like this Peugeot scooter had been long enough by Piaggio introduced through a product labeled MP3. In Indonesia, 3-wheel scooter Piaggio marketed by PT Sentra Creative Commerce at a price of about Rp 105 million.
Concept
However, Peugeot Motorcycles scooters rate labeled “The HYbrid3 Evolution” is still a draft.Because the scooter is driven by a combination (hybrid) driving two sources, namely gasoline engine and electric motors. Currently, the scooter is on display at the International Milan Motorbike Show Cycle.
Proud of the technology by Peugeot on this scooter is the 3 wheel motion systems. More precisely, one rear wheel is driven by gasoline engines. The two front wheels are driven two electric motors (one wheel with one motor).
Electric motor scooter produces power 36 kW (49PS) with CO2 emissions, 48 g / km in the form of combination. Peugeot vehicle positioning this as a scooter and a car without a roof. He was first introduced at the Paris Motor Show, last year.
The new technology is adopted by an electric motor of the car l BB1 who exhibited at the Frankfurt Motor Show last September. The product will be launched in 2010.
