Concept Peugeot BB1

Faced with the next declination of the electric Smart, Peugeot has a concept of mini-city with zero emissions rather strange look.

Four seats for a length of 2.50 m, the target is clear. If it were ever to be marketed, the BB1 Concept would trample the flat-bands Toyota iQ and other Smart Fortwo.

Except that what is attractive on paper leaves more doubtful in reality. The Smart Fortwo allows only two occupants. As for the iQ, has already difficult to accommodate four people comfortably 2.99 m.

This BB1 Peugeot Concept, named in honor of Baby Peugeot models from 1905 and 1912, chose to adopt architecture in tandem. Thus, each side, the front passenger is sitting between the legs pass back. This may seem like a good idea for short routes but it will be necessary to test this by wheel configuration to determine whether this positioning is comfortable or not.

Side look, BB1 Peugeot concept closely resembles Smart Fortwo, at least until the beltline. However the flag, largely glass, takes a form bent forward to the least original.

Equipped with two electric motors of 15 hp, located in the rear wheels and designed in collaboration with Michelin, the Lilliputian claims a 0 to 30 km / h in 2.8 seconds and a top speed close to 100 km / h. The autonomy of both Lithium-Ion batteries placed under the foundation is 120 km.

With only 600 kg, BB1 Peugeot Concept is a featherweight, but it was his turning radius of 7 meters which would deprive the citizens. However, if she knows a declination of series in years to come.
