BMW Series 5 Active Hybrid Concept 2010
At Geneva Motor Show, BMW is presenting BMW 5 Series Sedan as well as a future-oriented full-hybrid model in the upper midrange segment, the BMW Concept 5 Series ActiveHybrid. The drive system featured in the BMW Concept 5 Series ActiveHybrid consists of a straight-six gasoline engine with TwinPower Turbo technology, eight-speed automatic transmission, and electric drive. Integration of BMW ActiveHybrid technology in a sedan already extremely efficient with its “conventional” combustion engine reduces both fuel consumption and emissions once again by more than 10 per cent. At the same time the electric motor offers a boost function, supporting the gasoline engine in generating particularly dynamic drive power for an even more sporting driving experience in the car.
