The centerpiece of the Up! Lite powertrain is the newly designed 0.8 TDI two-cylinder turbo-diesel engine with a power of 38 kW / 51 PS. Furthermore, the electric motor (10 kW) designed as a pulse start module (starter, alternator and E-drive) also reduces the load of the TDI, provides added propulsion (boosting) and works to recover kinetic energy (regenerative braking). During boost phases eg in a quick passing maneuver the TDI and E-motor combine for a total power of 48 kW / 65 PS. Incidentally, a version of the TDI used in the Up! Lite was also used aboard the L1 concept car that Volkswagen presented in September at the IAA Motor Show in Frankfurt. In two of its operating phases, the hybrid drive of the Up! Lite was designed to operate without any TDI propulsion at all. First phase: In so-called coast-down, activated by the driver taking his or her foot off the gas pedal (car coasts, TDI engine is shut off). Second phase: Over shorter distances, eg in residential areas, the E-motor can power the Up! Lite all by itself. In this case, a lithium-ion battery supplies the energy. Since it is capable of pure electric driving, the configuration is classified as a full hybrid. Shifting work is handled by a 7-speed Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) like the one used in the new Polo. Moreover, the Volkswagen is equipped with a Stop-Start system.

Just a quick trip down the freeway using no gas.

After getting everything assembled, I just have to drive around town with my wife. The rear-right wheel is making a terrible noise and has to be fixed.

Stupid WMG...who likes them? yeah, nobody. I'm workin on gettin a new song. So, here's my 1974 Volkswagen Bus. I spent my whole life savings, a whopping 0, on this beast. It was my 13th birthday present to myself. When I got it, the motor was sitting between the front seats and was in pretty bad shape. That's when I decided, mostly because of the shot motor, and because I was a stupid teenager, to convert it into an electric vehicle. The project went slowly until high school, and I made the mistake of not taking very many pictures in the beginning, but here it is. It's turning out very well, despite being done on a high schoolers budget. More on the actual conversion will come in the future. YAY!!!
