Weight and engine power of the average French car in the last 50 years 10 kg increase per year, 500 kg in 50 years!
Engine power multiplied by more than 2,5

What is the transport mode of the future?

Renault Twizy – 500 kg – 1 person

Space occupied in a city street by three common modes of transport—cars,
bicycles and a bus - to transport 60 persons 69 volunteers, 69 bikes, 60 cars and one bus
The electric tank might not be the most suited transport mode in a city
Of the 3 major problems city faces – pollution, traffic and parking, it only
addresses the pollution!
5
Energy consumption of different transport modes The most efficient transport mode is the good old bicycle.
To match the energy efficiency of a bike, one has to fill a car with 80 people!

Reducing CO2 emissions is a good thing… … but it does not mean we will still be able to afford driving our cars in the short term while
oil supply is decreasing... and oil prices are surging!

- Evolution of Oil & Gas production 1930-2030 -
• Future belongs to fuel efficient vehicles as well as low-cost cars (such as Logan)
• In Japan, 40% of passenger cars sold in 2012- 2 millions in total - were kei-cars – small cars
with length limited to 3,5 m and engine power limited to 660 cc
Legislators should regulate vehicles weight, engine power or energy consumption
like in Japan to make those light weight cars attractive with regard to heavy and
energy inefficient cars – a 7-series BMW weights as high as 2t!
- Fuel consumption of vehicles in L/km as a
function of their mass -

Our economy is very sensitive to oil availability Any bottleneck on oil supply in the last 40 years ended in an economic recession It is high time
to reduce transportation oil dependency – 97% - by developing light and energy efficient cars

What consumes energy when we drive? At lower speeds– in cities– mechanical losses, which are correlated to vehicle weight, have
the biggest impact on the energy consumption of vehicles
- Power required to compensate mechanic & aerodynamic friction forces -
Source : Gregory Launay www.gnesg.com
•Accelerations, which is increasing the speed of a given mass, is what requires the most
energy when driving in a urban environment
•A 500 kg car such as Renault Twizy at a speed of 35 km/h carries a kinetic energy 20
times as less as a 1,4t electric tank1,4t such as Renault Zoé at a speed of 90 km/h
It is logical that such lightweight cars – 500 kg – do not have to comply with the
same safety norms than car that are 2 to 3 times heavier as they have less kinetic
energy to dissipate in case of a crash

How to reduce cars fuel consumption? 2 ways – reducing losses or reducing weight
Fuel consumption of vehicles depends on the amount of energy required to move the vehicle as
well as the powertrain energy efficiency. To decrease the fuel consumption, one can either:
Reduce losses (increase the energy efficiency with an hybrid power train for example)
Reduce the amount of energy required (with a lighter car for example).
The red arrow represents the path that car markers have followed up to now which in most of
the time increased the energy consumption of the car although it reduced its CO2 emissions
An energy efficient approach would make a lot of sense in the future
