Frankfort Muto Show 2007 News: Citroen's 'UrbanHybrid' to Debut

Citroen has debuted diesel hybrids in the past
Citroen plans to debut its new C5 Airscape Concept, dubbed the 'UrbanHybrid' at September's 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show, although Citroen's 'UrbanHybrid' technology might be extended to other vehicles as well.'UrbanHybrid' technology will include a number of tools to aid fuel economy, according to Gizmag via BW."This includes a reversible alternator-starter and super capacitors and allows onboard equipment, such as the air

conditioning or audio system, to be powered by energy recovered during braking and deceleration, while engine torque can be temporarily boosted when required.""The 'UrbanHybrid' system, which helps reduce CO2 emissions by 24g/km on the combined cycle, also switches off the engine when the vehicle is at standstill, before starting it again instantly once the accelerator is pressed.

The fitting of a refined, bio-diesel compliant 208bhp 2.7HDi V6 engine, complete with particulate filter, further minimises any impact on the environment."Just more proof that hybrid vehicles are the future, even in diesel powered countries
