The aluminum Delran is one of those failures in the motor industry that have caused such a stir that end up becoming a classic of modern times. This goes without saying that all the attention now has this car is due to the media success of the trilogy of “Back to the Future” where the car is a first time machine powered by radioactive material enriched by debris then and now real life, thanks to green energy enthusiasts, with an electric motor.
Although not want to give too much information, the current owners of the rights of Delran are contemplating the possibility of launching a limited number of these specimens electric propulsion with lithium in the near future. It is estimated that the price of one of these specimens would be on the order of about 70 000 Euro, far less than the price of a Frisker and with the addition of “attacking” the emotional side of those who grew up (growing) look forward to having the car Marty Muffle and Emmett Brown.
The prototype car has a range of 160 kilometers, which would make it more or less equivalent to Nissan Leaf, but with better performance on the road, not to mention the style that involves getting to work in the time machine.
The vehicle interior has a high amount of 1985 retro style, but with elements as contemporary as entertainment and navigation system touch screen and application integration that would link the Smartphone with the car.
21% of Spanish companies incorporate electric cars to their fleets by 2013, according to The Corporate Vehicle Observatory (CVO), sponsored by Arval, the leasing company of BNP Paribas group, made public on the occasion of Vehicle Show and alternative fuels.
The study shows that the willingness to use electric vehicles is more present among the large national companies among small and medium enterprises. In this way, 23% of large companies, compared with 21% of Spanish SMEs ensure that incorporate electric vehicles to their fleets over the next three years. However, companies are still serious obstacles to economic and technical.
For example, 68% of companies established in our country considered excessively high purchase price and the acquisition of an electric vehicle can reach three times that of a conventional car with similar benefits. 59% points to the lack of charging points as the main barrier to be decided, while 51% considered an obstacle the lack of suitable models for their activity, and a network of workshops capable enough to maintain and repair the technology. Doubts about their road safety and on their “green impact” real wake also suspicions among 12% of users.
