(from smart press
release) smart will be launching an exclusive special
model to mark the production start of the new smart fortwo micro
hybrid drive (mhd). Its tridion safety cell gleams in silver, the
bodypanels shine in brilliant crystal white and the charming
two-seater zips along on stylish nine-spoke alloy wheels. Equipped
with the new start/stop function, the new model consumes 8 percent
less fuel in the combined cycle, and 19 percent less fuel in urban
traffic. Like the other smart fortwo micro hybrid drive models, the
exclusive edition can be ordered now.
The new edition smart
fortwo mhd is based on the pure coupé equipment variant with a 52
kW/71 bhp engine. Several exclusive features make the edition smart
fortwo micro hybrid drive a real eye-catcher: the exclusive silver
tridion safety cell combined with crystal white bodypanels give it a
fascinating, fresh look. Like the tridion safety cell, the door
mirror caps and the radiator grille are also finished in silver and
contribute to the attractive appearance. 15 inch alloy wheels with a
nine-spoke design and tyres measuring 155/65 R 15 at the front and
175/60 R 15 at the rear give the exterior a stylish finish.
Micro hybrid drive: Why use petrol when you are not driving?
The exclusive variant of
the new smart fortwo micro hybrid drive (mhd) demonstrates that
clever technical concepts enable smart solutions to be developed
that make driving even more pleasant, comfortable and
environmentally friendly. The micro hybrid drive technology now
available for the smart fortwo makes this possible. When the driver
brakes and the vehicle's speed falls below 8 km/h, the engine shuts
down automatically without the driver having to do anything. In
conjunction with the slightly modified gear ratios of the automated
manual transmission, this leads to a fuel saving of 8 percent in the
New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). The standard consumption is
reduced by 0.4 litres – from 4.7 litres to 4.3 litres per 100
kilometres. There is also a corresponding reduction in CO2 emissions
from 112 grams to approx. 103 grams per kilometre.
To achieve this, the new
smart fortwo micro hybrid drive automatically shuts down the engine
completely whenever it would normally be combusting fuel
unnecessarily in idle position. As soon as the driver releases the
brake pedal, the engine restarts automatically and the journey can
continue immediately without a noticeable delay. The driver doesn't
need to do anything out of the ordinary. In conjunction with the
automated manual transmission that comes as standard, the new
start/stop technology thus guarantees comfortable and
straightforward driving with reduced fuel consumption.
At the heart of the start/stop system is a special belt-driven
starter generator. This replaces and does the work of both the
conventional starter and the alternator. When the engine is running,
it generates electric current for the vehicle's electrical system,
and when the engine needs to be started this is done smoothly in a
fraction of a second.
Extensive range of standard
equipment
The extensive standard
equipment of the edition smart fortwo micro hybrid drive includes
front airbags, seat belts with belt tensioners and belt-force
limiters, safety seats with integral seat belts, esp, abs and
integrated brake assist. Further standard features include H7

radio remote control, an exterior temperature indicator, comfort
windscreen wipers with speed-sensitive interval wiping and
