International Motor Show Germany 2015

International Motor Show in German known as Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung (IAA), is the world's largest motor show since 1897. It is held annually, with passenger and commercial vehicles including some motorcycles in Frankfurt am Main. Currently the show occupies in twelve building.

Siemens will show Roding Roadster Electric at 2015 IAA in Frankfurt Germany this month.

The Roding Roadster Electric is hub drive powered research vehicle. Based on Roding Carbon Cell, this innovative battery-powered drive train could be realized together with Siemens Corporate Technology.
The prototypes used for this purpose were constructed without a mechanical brake at the rear axle, instead, braking is done by the electric motor. The brake system is controlled by so called Brake Blending, i.e. as circumstances require, the brake torque is automatically transferred from the electrically powered brake to the friction brake at the front axle. It is aimed to recuperate the entire potential energy in 70% of all braking processes.

• Maximum power: 2 x 120 kW
• Maximum torque: 2 x 1250 Nm
• Lithium Ion Battery: 194 kWh
• Unloaded weight: 1125 kg

Mercedes Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive with 500 km range

Mercedes is reportedly working on a model range of electric vehicles able to cover up to 500 km on a single charge according to Daimler Chief Development Officer Thomas Weber.

In an interview with German publication auto motor and sport, Weber said, “We are working on an intelligent concept for a highly attractive electric vehicle with a range of 400-500 kilometers,” adding that the car would come “soon.” More importantly, the electric drivetrain will fit into the automaker’s flexible architecture, meaning it can be used in numerous models.

At the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show in less than two weeks,Audi will showcase an e-tron quattro concept SUV, while BMW is planning an i5 Sedan that will be based on the 5 Series and Porsche are also working on an EV with 500 km range.

Mercedes might have a slight lead on the competition, however, considering that it has been developing numerous applications of all-electric vehicles for a while now, including on the A- and B-Class as well as the electric SLS AMG that set a record on the Nurburging.

TATA MOTORS Upcoming Electric Vehicles

List of EV

1. Indica Vista EV

Tata Motors is getting ready to launch electric version of Indica Vista in United Kingdom. The company has an electric vehicle manufacturing centre in Coventry, which is capable of building 1,500 electric vehicles every year. The first 25 Tata EV have been handed over to the owners as part of final car evaluation before the UK launch. These cars are part-funded by the Coventry and Birmingham Low Emissions Demonstrators (CABLED).

Indica Vista EV gets 500 order in Spain. Tata Motors European technical Centre acquiring 50.3% stake in Spanish company.

2. Megapixel

The Tata Megapixel, a range extended electric vehicle (REEV), is a new four-seater city-smart global car concept for the performance-seeking and environment-conscious anywhere in the world.

Combining a lithium ion phosphate battery and an on-board petrol engine generator for recharging on the move, the Tata Megapixel offers a range of up to 900 km.

The class-leading 'Zero Turn' drive system of the Tata Pixel (shown at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show) has been taken to an even higher level of manoeuvrability in the Tata Megapixel.

The Tata Megapixel denotes Tata Motors progression from the Tata Pixel, based on the Tata Nano and a city car concept for Europe, reflecting the company's future design direction.

3. ACE electric

Tata Motors will launch electric version of its most popular light truck Ace next financial year. The electric Ace weighing around 1,600 kg will have an steel chassis and no gears and perhaps no air-conditioning. The vehicle will likely have atop speed of around 50 kmph.

"In the Auto Expo we showcased the Super Ace electric and Magic electric. Actual commercial production of these models should happen soon. All these things need lots of support from the government. But obviously you have to be ready with the product first to seek that support", said a senior executive of Tata Motors.

4. Magic IRIS electric

TU-Automotive Detroit has awarded Tata Motors the 'Best Telematics Product or Launch in the Emerging market' for its telematics solution based on Android platform, developed for the Tata Magic Iris Electric.

At the Auto Expo 2014, Tata Motors showcased the Magic IRIS electric. The zero-emission, last mile commercial passenger vehicle runs on lithium ion battery. The IRIS electric can run up to 100 km with two battery modules which take maximum of eight hours to charge through an on-board charger. Additionally, the Magic IRIS electric comes with a 120 watt solar panel roof for supplementary charging.
