A unique example of pioneering automotive technology1993 Volvo 850 Gas Turbine/Electric Hybrid Prototype• Un des deux prototypes construits par Volvo• Le seul sur le marché• 4 000 km depuis l'origine• Unique exemple d'une technologie d'avant-garde• One of only two built by Volvo• The only one not in captivity• 4,000 kilometres from new• Unique example of pioneering automotive technologyFootnotes:Volvo 850 Hybride Turbine à gaz/Électrique Prototype 1993Châssis n° inc.Depuis le milieu du XXe siècle, la plupart des constructeurs ont envisagé l'utilisation de la turbine à gaz comme propulseur sans que ces études ne débouchent sur des réalités dans le domaine de la production. Sous la pression des législateurs poussant à la mise en Å“uvre d'alternatives « vertes » aux carburants classiques, essence et gazole, les constructeurs ont opté pour des systèmes hybrides combinant l'électricité au moteur à pistons. Mais dans les années 1990, Volvo expérimenta un hybride turbine à gaz/électrique. Deux de ces prototypes ont été construits et celui de la vente a été cédé à une personne privée.Volvo avait déjà une considérable expérience dans la construction de turbines à gaz par l'intermédiaire de sa filiale Volvo Flygmotor et sa première turbine à gaz automobile expérimentale fut installée dans une berline Volvo 264, première ECC ou Experimental Concept Car, en 1978. Abandonnant la propulsion uniquement à turbine, Volvo opta pour le système « série hybride » : le moteur électrique attaquant les roues tandis que la turbine à gaz entraîne un générateur à régime élevé (HSG) dont le débit est envoyé aux batteries ou au moteur de traction. Ce système peut être utilisé uniquement sur batteries ou en mode combiné, le générateur servant de démarreur au moteur à gaz. Le freinage régénératif est une autre possibilité de récupération d'énergie, le moteur électrique devenant générateur lors des phases de décélérations pour renvoyer du courant aux batteries. Ces batteries étaient du type NiCd – cadium-nickel à l'époque – au lieu des actuelles lithium-ion standard dans l'industrie.Avec ses commandes et planche de bord habituelles, l'ECC hybride de Volvo était annoncée comme aussi facile à conduire qu'une voiture conventionnelle. Le sélecteur de vitesse rotatif de la transmission automatique offrait les crans habituels « P, R, N ; D, L » mais la Volvo hybride ne risquait pas de « creeping automatique » en demeurant rigoureusement à l'arrêt sur les positions « D » ou « R » tant que l'accélérateur n'était pas enfoncé. Les modes de traction « Electric », « Hybrid » et « Gas Turbine », suffisamment explicites, étaient sélectionnés par des boutons poussoirs. En mode « Electric », le couple maximal est disponible dès le départ, mais pour avoir une accélération maximale, il faut sélectionner les modes « Hybrid » ou « Gas Turbine ».Si la turbine à gaz est une élégante solution du point de vue technique, par sa simplicité de construction et sa légèreté relative, sa consommation relativement supérieure est apparue comme un obstacle insurmontable à son adoption sur des voitures de tourisme même en combinaison avec un système électrique.Affichant actuellement 4 000 km au total parcourus sur les pistes d'essais, cet exemplaire unique relevant d'une technologie de pointe a été acquis en Italie auprès d'une personne impliquée dans la réalisation des véhicules hybrides turbine/électrique de Volvo. La voiture aurait passé la plus grande partie de sa vie en Suède et elle est accompagnée de ses plaques suédoises et de pages d'un magazine décrivant de cette Volvo.1993 Volvo 850 Gas Turbine/Electric Hybrid PrototypeChassis no. n/aMotor manufacturers have flirted with the gas turbine as an automotive power unit since the mid-20th century, but ultimately all attempts to make it work in a production car failed. With increasing pressure from legislators to find 'green' alternatives to the petrol/diesel fuel, most manufacturers have opted for electric or hybrid (combined electric motor/piston engine) propulsion systems. But in the 1990s Volvo experimented with a combined gas turbine/electric hybrid. Two such prototypes were built: that offered here being the sole in private hands. Volvo already possessed considerable experience of building aviation gas turbines through its subsidiary, Volvo Flygmotor, and its first experimental automotive gas turbine had been installed in a Volvo 264 saloon - the company's first Environmental Concept Car (ECC) - in 1978. Abandoning turbine-only propulsion, Volvo turned to the 'series hybrid' system: the electric motor driving the wheels while the gas turbine drives a high-speed generator (HSG) whose output is delivered to the batteries and/or motor. This system can be operated as electric-only or combined, with the generator functioning as a starter motor for the gas turbine. Regenerative braking is another feature, the drive motor acting as a generator during deceleration to return energy to the batteries. The batteries used are of the NiCd type (remember them?) rather than the industry-standard lithium-ion of today. With its recognisably familiar instruments and controls, Volvo's ECC hybrid was claimed to be as easy to drive as a conventional car. The rotary gear selector for the automatic transmission has the familiar 'P, R, N, D, L' positions, but there is no 'automatic creep' with the Volvo hybrid, which remains at rest when in either 'D' or 'R' until the accelerator is depressed. Driving modes - 'Electric', 'Hybrid' and 'Gas Turbine' - are self-explanatory and selected via pushbuttons. When in 'Electric' mode, maximum torque is available from a standstill, though for maximum acceleration either 'Hybrid' or 'Gas Turbine;' needs to be selected. While the gas turbine is an elegant propulsion unit in engineering terms, being simple in construction and relatively light in weight, its inferior part-load fuel economy has proven an insurmountable obstacle for its use in passenger cars, even when combined with an electric motor. Currently displaying a genuine total of only 4,000 test track-kilometres on the odometer, this unique example of pioneering automotive technology was purchased in Italy from someone who had been involved in building Volvo's gas turbine/electric hybrids. The car is believed to have spent most of its life in Sweden and comes with its original Swedish number plates and extracts of a magazine featuring this Volvo.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
