The self Yo-Mobil first hybrid natural gas
'' We will be the first to apply the technology in the automotive plastics throughout the car body. The monocoque - precise Biryukov - is made of polypropylene, reinforced with 20 to 30 mm glass fiber. The wear parts are reinforced with unidirectional glass fiber for maximum strength. The shell is welded to ultrasound and the body is a honeycomb structure to distribute crash energy''. The hybrid propulsion system uses Super capacitors instead of a battery to store energy. Super capacitors with the Yo-Mobile runs in electric mode the distance of about 2 km. According Biryukov, the super capacitors are able to support 1 million charge-discharge cycles, compared to 10,000 cycles of lithium ion cells, and operate from -50 to +60 degrees Celsius, ideal for adverse weather conditions in Russia. Biryukov rejects the prospects of electric cars as well.
He argues that the "pure electric car has no future", and that the difficulties of batteries "to allow conventional cars to stay in business much longer." The company will deliver the vehicles during 2012 at a price of about 10,000 to 12,000 euros. According to the manufacturer, the Yo-Mobil has already received 100,000 orders for next summer. The Yo-five-seat crossover has four-wheel drive, 210 mm in height and weighs just 650 kg unlade. It can carry up to 500 kg in weight between people and goods, and is equipped with run-flat tires from 16 inches. The propulsion is assured by an internal combustion engine from 60 hp able to run either on petrol or with methane or natural gas. According to the Yo-Mobil the combined power of the engine and Super capacitors is equivalent to 150 hp of a 2-liter conventional. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in 10 seconds in Sport mode, Eco mode in 12 seconds and 14 seconds in "Greasy" for unsafe conditions.
The maximum speed is 130 km / h, while the range is 700 km on one tank of natural gas.
