BMW eRR Electric Super Bike

The BMW Mottorrad Group announced the "experimental vehicle eRR" electric super sport motorcycle.

Press Release:-

Munich. BMW Motorrad has a long tradition in pointing out new ways and thoughts for the topic "mobility on two wheels“. For that, again and again many studies were presented in the past giving views to the future. The experimental vehicle eRR, created as a project with the Technical University of Munich, embodies an idea of an electric powered supersport motorcycle made by BMW Motorrad.

Already a couple of years ago, BMW i showed the BMW Group’s visionary and sustainable approach with the vehicles BMW i3 and i8 and their revolutionary design principles (aluminum chassis and passenger cabin made from carbon fibre) and BMW Motorrad’s C evolution proved, that zero emission, riding fun and practicability do not exclude themselves.

With presenting the experimental vehicle eRR BMW Motorrad goes one step forward and shows the possibilities of an all-electric drive in a supersport motorcycle. Regarding design and chassis technology the eRR leans on the supersport motorcycle S 1000 RR, however using an all-electric drive.

Stephan Schaller, Head of BMW Motorrad, emphasizes: „Since their market launch, the RR is giving the creeps to motorsport athletes. If acceleration, handling or topspeed – the RR is setting standards. However, if acceleration on the first metres, up to 50, 60 kph, is the point, the RR’s 199 bhp have to admit defeat by another BMW product: the C evolution with its electric drive.

We asked ourselves: What happens when combining a sport motorcycle and an electric drive? The experimental vehicle eRR brings the topic zero emission and electric drive on a new, more fascinating level.”

BMW Motorrad will announce technical details of the eRR at a later date.

Nissan 'IDS Concept' Electric Car

A vision of autonomous driving in future: Nissan IDS Concept

At the Tokyo Motor Show 2015, Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. unveiled a concept vehicle with autonomous driving and zero emission. Presenting at the show , Nissan president and CEO Carlos Ghosn said: "Nissan's forthcoming technologies will revolutionize the relationship between car and driver, and future mobility."

The sleek automobile comes in two modes: Manual and Piloted

Vehicles one with fully capable of autonomous driving would be on sale by 2020. The IDS is an conceptual vehicle but its 60 kWh is still conceptual. The IDS Concept previews key engineering and design technology to be incorporated on future Nissan vehicles. This includes carbon-fiber construction, and a compact aerodynamic shape with fin like vertical fenders front and rear.

It has 2 stages of autonomous driving, which mirrors Nissan's plans to introduce this technology. The company plans to introduce a degree of autonomous driving it calls Piloted Drive by 2016; technology that can maintain station in a single lane by itself. That system could then be upgraded into merging motorway and changing lane by itself.

"Nissan Intelligent Driving improves a driver's ability to see, think and react," Ghosen said, "It compensates for human error, which causes more than 90% of all car accidents. As a result, tme spent behind the wheel is safer, cleaner and more efficient."

BMW Cruise Bike

Perfect interplay of dynamism and function: the BMW Cruise Bike. The design of the bike from BMW(Bavarian Motors Works) uses typical BMW shapes- the striking "bull-neck" and the fine frame design with smoothed welded joints show how well this has succeeded. Due to their large air volume and distinctive profile, the Continental CruiseCONTACT tyres guarantee outstanding cushioning.

The BMW logo is present at the top of the front fork.

Specification:

• Height     = 26"
• Weight    = 15 kg
• Aluminium frame, front-sprung
• Continental CruiseCONTACT tyres with "safety system"
• Disc brakes Shimano BR-M395 180 mm
• Shimano Deore 30 gears

Their are five settings: off,tour,sport and turbo.

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
