Opel has offered new details about the electric version of the Meriva EV, powered by an electric motor at 82 hp (60 kW), which can offer 215 Nm of torque. The car is equipped with a battery of 16 kWh, which offers a range distance of 64 km with a maximum speed of 130 km / h. Opel Meriva EV battery can be recharged from a standard wall outlet.

"Electric Meriva can become a full production car at the moment continues testing of all systems of the car" - the company says.

Opel Meriva EV is part of MeRegioMobil, which is focused on creating a car of the future.

Only us the pictures of the new Opel Astra three-door model have inspired, now release the Rüsselsheim more details. The finished three-door is still not the at the Paris Motor Show on 2 to 17 October 2010 premiere. But the study called "GTC Paris" looks so completely out of the can with the series nothing can go wrong. With the car in the French capital also debuted the same color of the concept vehicle: "Liquid Metal" paint and the red is supposed to show that the automaker can look confidently into the future.

With a very demanding for effective legislation, the European Union starts from 2011 Euro 5, which bars vehicles with emission levels of CO2 above 180 g / km. The approach of the law is forcing local carmakers to adapt all their cars to the new rule. The same goes for sports cars, the largest polluters. This applies to the line of the 2011 Opel Corsa OPC, which was "cleaner" without losing its performance.

According to the German division of General Motors, the Corsa OPC 2011 is up 7.6% more efficient in fuel consumption and makes 9.5% less carbon dioxide in the air over the previous model. The company also claims that the new model has average fuel consumption 13.3 km / l (gasoline) and emits around 172 g / km of CO2. Even revised, turbocharged 1.6-liter engine in the series maintained its 192 bhp and 23.4 Nm of torque (with overboost the number rises to 27 Nm).

Available only in the Old Continent option with manual gearbox, 6 gears, the Corsa OPC, according to data from Opel, meets the test 0-100 km / h in 7S2 and continues until it reaches a top speed of 225

A concept is catching on: The drive of the Opel Ampera could be transferred to trucks. At the IAA Commercial Vehicles Show in Hannover (23 to 30 September 2010) presents the brand, the study Vivaro e-Concept.

The study Vivaro e-concept is to have a pure electric range of 100 kilometers. On longer routes, such as intercity buses or shuttle service that will automatically switch to a smaller internal combustion engine that produces a new current generator for the battery. This provides a 111 kilowatt (151 hp) and 370 Nm of electric motor. In this way, the range increases to about 400 kilometers. As the Ampera the Vivaro also e-concept moves constantly with electric drive. The combustion engine only supplies energy - a concept that is also called a serial hybrid. The loading capacity of five cubic meters and 750 kilograms payload to the electric Vivaro make a full fledged van for delivery trips in the city or town near you. Whether it will be for the internal combustion engine to the commercial vehicle diesel and more data does not agree with Opel.

The lithium-ion batteries can be recharged at a household 230-volt outlet. They are mounted under the flat-load floor Vivaro. There, the batteries deliver a low center of gravity for the lowest driving under the influence especially crosswinds, so the manufacturer. Whether the concept will go into series here, I would not, "With the e-Concept Vivaro we want to explore the acceptability of this technology for the visitors," says Opel responsible for commercial vehicles, Chris Gubbey.

Other: Vacuum Hoses (including Brake Booster Hose), and consider re- installing carburetor and distributor Keep a record of dates and odometer mileage reading when installing, to determine component wear rates. Procedure: Acquire an engine compression gauge (screw-end type is recommended)., Make sure battery is fully charged. Remove all 4 spark plugs & disconnect coil (+) wire. Important: Remove air filter or hardware from top of carburetor, and use a tool to hold the main throttle plates of the carburetor fully open for the duration of this test. Screw the engine compression gauge, into spark-plug holes, beginning with #1 cylinder. Observe the highest number the gauge reads (the needle jerks upward about 4 times, then levels off), and write it down as the “dry” number for that engine cylinder.
