Volkswagen L1 Concept
The Volkswagen L1 Concept is certainly a one-of-kind vehicle. With a lightweight Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic body, weighing only 380 kilograms, this two-seater is a true feat of engineering. It is powered by a new common rail turbo-diesel (two-cylinder TDI) and an electric motor, and boasts an average fuel consumption of 1.49 litres per 100 kilometres and CO2 emissions of just 39 g/km. If the Volkswagen L1 were to enter production, it would be a ground-breaking evolution in automotive production.
Drivetrain
The diesel engine, electric motor, and 7-speed DSG are all located at the rear. This combination makes the Volkswagen L1 the most fuel efficient hybrid on the road, with an impressive 1.38 litres per 100 kilometres fuel consumption and 36 g/km CO2 emissions. It is powered by a redeveloped two-cylinder turbo-diesel with common rail direct injection (TDI) in two different modes. In "ECO" mode, it produces 20 kW / 27 PS (at 4,000rpm); in "Sport" mode, it produces 29 kW / 39 PS (at 4,000rpm). The VW L1 also features a Stop-Start system which automatically shuts down the engine when stopping and restarts when the accelerator or E-pedal is pressed.
