Powering Shell's concept vehicle is a 660cc, all aluminium three-cylinder engine, which produce 43bhp and 64Nm of torque. The concept vehicle can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in a matter of 15.8 seconds while top speed is restricted to 145 km/h. Shell has managed to keep the weight of their concept car at a minimum of 550 kgs.
In an independent test, Shell's concept car would deliver a 34 percent reduction in primary energy under rigorous conditions. When compared to SUVs in the UK, Shell's concept car would require only 69 percent of the total energy used by an SUV over the vehicle's lifecycle.
The concept vehicle delivers a fuel efficiency figure of 2.64 litres per 100 kilometres. Several bespoke Shell Lubricants have boosted fuel economy figures by approximately five percent. An innovative low CO2 manufacturing process was also used to develop the concept vehicle.
