Prvi nastop konceptnega vozila

“We only create things that can become real in some form. The technology has to exist to make the concept feasible.”

The Pop.Up Next concept doesn’t herald a flying car per se, but a self-driving, self-flying, fully autonomous, electric-powered taxi. It’s designed to operate on a multi-mode principle. Two passengers sit in a capsule, which, for driving purposes, is attached to a four-wheel ground module that is also electric-powered and fully autonomous. For flight mode, the capsule is autonomously detached from the ground module, then attached to an eight-rotor air module or drone capable of vertical take-off.

“The aeronautical-inspired seatsfeature netting that adjusts to each passenger’s shape.”

The concept certainly appears cool and suitably futuristic, both from outside and inside the ultra-minimalist cabin. My details and my ‘journey’ have already been pre-registered on an app on my smartphone and, as I settle into the seat, I’m recognised and welcomed aboard by PIA, my speaking Personal Intelligent Assistant. The seats certainly feel comfortable, and, currently, there’s sufficient space behind them to hold a couple of small bags, although it’s possible the flying taxi will be smaller in size when it reaches production. The ‘dashboard’ in front of me is one large screen that incorporates augmented-reality technology and enables me to highlight icons simply by moving my eyes


By pressing on a small touchpad mounted between the seats, I can then choose the ambient-lighting theme I desire, and the type of music I wish to listen to through the speakers built into the headrests. Naturally, there is plenty of glass area to provide occupants with a fine view as they soar over the city, although the floor below my feet is not transparent – and deliberately so, as Nicolas points out: ‘We wanted to create an open environment that enables passengers to enjoy the experience, but we also wanted to ensure they felt safe and weren’t frightened.’

Trust is key

But how would I feel if I actually were in a real, electric battery-powered drone flight with no pilot in sight? ‘I’m sure people won’t trust an autonomous flying machine 100 per cent straight away – even though we already fly around the world in airliners on autopilot,’ Stefano Mancuso, the co-ordinator of Italdesign’s electric and electronic architecture project unit, tells me. ‘But by the time the flying taxi becomes a reality – say, by 2030 – we’ll all be very used to using autonomous cars. And, anyway, when the taxi’s in the air, there’ll always be human support at hand – there’ll always be someone passengers can talk to in a control centre who’ll be able to take remote control, if needs be.’ So, I invite an honest, quick-fire, one-word answer: would Stefano go up in the flying taxi? ‘Yes,’ comes the immediate reply. ‘I would. I won’t be on the first flight, though, as our CEO’s already signed up for that!’
“
One of the big problems we’ll have is acceptance.
”

The journey is the reward

The company has already conducted a flight in public, at Drone Week in Amsterdam last year – but using a 1:4 scale model. The flight module accurately placed a passenger capsule on the ground module, which then drove from the test grounds autonomously. This proved the effectiveness of the Airbus coupling system and its locking and latching functionality. The air module currently rests on legs to make docking easier, but it’s envisaged that such legs would not be required by the time the concept reaches production.

To make the project with full-sized versions viable, more powerful batteries than those that exist today would be required, and Airbus is currently working on developing such technology. Noise is another issue, and reduction of the high-pitched whirring familiar to anyone who has witnessed even a small drone in flight is being sought. Italdesign is working with Audi to develop battery and electric-motor technology for the ground module – an area in which Audi’s engineers have already proven highly competent, as the recent launch of the e-tron SUV testifies. Therefor an Audi engineer is also based with the Italdesign team in Italy.

Poudarki Audija Q4 Sportback e-tron concept

Zunanji videz

Športen, dinamičen in eleganten: Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron concept je v primerjavi s svojim bratom, Q4 e-tron conceptom občutno daljši in bolj slok. Njegove sorodstvene vezi z Audijevimi oblikovalskimi legendami izdajajo značilni blatniki, s katerimi se je že leta 1980 ponašal prvotni model quattro. Zadek krasi širok svetlobni pas, posebnost pa je tudi barva, ki se glede na kot odboja svetlobe preliva med biserno črno in kovinsko zeleno. Mogočno oblikovno zasnovo pa poudarjajo še visoka 22-palčna platišča.

Notranjost električnega konceptnega Audija

Potniki se bodo v Audiju Q4 Sportback e-tron concept počutili zelo udobno. Ker nima kardanskega tunela, ima pa veliko medosno razdaljo, jim je na voljo res veliko prostora. Svetli in topli toni poudarjajo prijetno notranjost, za eleganco pa smo poskrbeli s sedeži iz alkantare, prešitimi z dvojnimi šivi.

Za izkušnjo pametne vožnje bodo voznikom Audija Q4 Sportback e-tron concept na voljo:

  • Audijev virtualni prikazovalnik najpomembnejših podatkov o stanju baterije, hitrosti in navigaciji
  • veliki projicirni zaslon, ki lahko s tehnologijo obogatene resničnosti pomembne grafične informacije prikaže kar na cesti,
  • upravljanje informacijsko-razvedrilnega sistema in funkcionalnosti vozila s polji na dotik na volanu avtomobila.

Mimogrede: pri oblikovanju notranjosti smo sledili trajnostnim principom. Talne obloge so v celoti izdelane iz recikliranih materialov.

“It’ll take a while for the drones to arrive in great numbers – maybe by 2030.”

So, let’s assume that the technology can be developed to make the flying taxi operate safely, all legislative issues can be successfully resolved, and the public is happy not only to travel in such a vehicle but also to live in a city with them flying overhead. How might it all work in practice, and by when might it happen? ‘It’ll take a while for the drones to arrive in great numbers – maybe by 2030,’ explains Massimo. ‘We estimate that there could be 200,000 to 300,000 of them in operation all over the world by then, and several thousand could be deployed in a city like London. We envisage that, to start with, they’d operate in strict air corridors only, perhaps flying from the airport and landing on a tower downtown. But, in the long term, it may be possible to open up the sky and give them more freedom.’


While the current model is being designed to have a short, cross-city range, Massimo surmises that, as technology advances, it may even be possible for longer journeys to be undertaken. Massimo however is convinced the flying taxi will become a reality and is clearly very much looking forward to taking a flight in it. ‘After all,’ he adds with a smile, ‘humankind has always had the dream of taking to the sky, right back to the time of Leonardo da Vinci and his flying machines.’

Učinkovitost in moč

Tako kot brata tudi Audija Q4 Sportback e-tron concept poganjata dva elektromotorja, ki skupaj zagotavljata sistemsko moč 225 kW. Kot ostali SUV modeli ima tudi ta štirikolesni pogon quattro, s katerim lahko zaradi odlične vlečne sile v samo 6,3 sekundah pospeši od 0 do 100 km/h – ne glede na podlago ali vremenske razmere.

Doseg konceptnega vozila, ki po kriterijih voznega cikla WLTP presega 450 kilometrov, postavlja nova merila v tem avtomobilskem razredu. Različice s pogonom v zadnjem delu avtomobila, pa bodo imele doseg celo nad 500 kilometri.

Konceptno vozilo Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron

Kaj pravijo oblikovalci

Na kaj ste se posebej osredotočili pri oblikovanju Auudija Q4 Sportback e-tron concepta?

Philipp Römers, Audijev oblikovalec zunanjosti avtomobilov: Želeli smo oblikovati avto športnega videza. Z izjemno nizkim kotom vetrobranskega stekla in strmim nagibom strehe smo poudarili značilnosti konceptnega vozila. Poleg tega je bila pomembna tudi učinkovitost. Da bi dobro razumeli, kaj vse vpliva nanjo, smo ogromno časa preživeli v vetrovniku. Poleg nizke strehe je za aerodinamiko Q4 Sportback e-trona pomembna tudi oblika spojlerja, zato smo tokrat prvič zadnjo šipo zaključili pod njim.

Avto je hkrati coupé in SUV – kako ste v enem električnem vozilu oblikovno združili prednosti obeh vrst avtomobilov?

Christian Becker, vodja Audijevega oddelka za oblikovanje notranjosti: športni značaj konceptnega vozila smo poudarili s kabino in armaturo coupéja, prtljažnik in prostornina pa sta značilna za SUVje. Tako smo združili najboljše obeh svetov.

Električni avtomobili imajo v kabini več prostora kot bencinski, zato imate oblikovalci tudi več svobode. Kako ste jo izkoristili pri Audiju Q4 Sportback e-tron conceptu?

Christian Becker: Največ prostora je okoli osrednje konzole, zato smo se nanj osredotočili pri oblikovanju potnikom prilagojene notranjosti. Z izvirnimi rešitvami smo poudarili funkcionalnosti vozila. Potniki si z uporabo polic in predalov lahko popolnoma prilagodijo prostor. Veliko pozornosti smo namenili tudi oblikovanju prikazovalnikov. Tehnologija obogatene resničnosti zavzame zelo malo prostora, da bi čim manj motila voznika.

Philipp Römers: Tudi pri oblikovanju zunanjosti nam električni avtomobili dopuščajo več možnosti, saj elektromotor za hlajenje ne potrebuje toliko zraka kot bencinski. Zato smo lahko sprednji del zasnovali povsem drugače in s tem začrtali tudi nove smernice za oblikovanje naših električnih avtomobilov. Črna maska, ki prekriva svetlejšo mrežo hladilnika, je naš obraz prihodnosti. Ustvarja močan kontrast, v sebi pa skriva različne senzorje in svetila. Omenil bi še to, da smo na mesto, kjer so pri benciskih avtomobilih izpušne cevi, namestili difuzor z osvetljenim logotipom e-tron.

Konceptno vozilo v serijski proizvodnji

Vas mika, da bi preizkusili Audija Q4 Sportback e-tron concept? Ni problema. Prva vozila iz serijske proizvodnje bodo na cestah že leta 2021.

Navedene vrednosti porabe in emisij izpušnih plinov so bile izmerjene v skladu z zakonsko predpisanimi merilnimi postopki WLTP. Podatki se ne navezujejo na eno samo vozilo in niso sestavni del ponudbe, temveč so namenjeni zgolj primerjavi med različnimi tipi vozil. Dodatna in dopolnilna oprema (vgradni deli, oblika pnevmatik ipd.) lahko spremenita pomembne parametre vozila, kot so npr. masa, kotalni upor in aerodinamika, ter poleg vremenskih pogojev, prometa in individualnega načina vožnje vplivata na porabo goriva, porabo električne energije, emisije CO₂ in vozne lastnosti vozila. Poraba goriva, poraba električne energije in emisije CO₂ niso odvisne le od učinkovitega izkoristka goriva, temveč nanje vplivajo tudi način vožnje in drugi dejavniki, ki niso tehnične narave. Ogljikov dioksid CO₂ in emisije: ogljikov dioksid CO₂ je najpomembnejši toplogredni plin, ki povzroča globalno segrevanje. CO₂ kot toplogredni plin ter emisije onesnaževal zunanjega zraka iz prometa pomembno prispevajo k poslabšanju kakovosti zunanjega zraka. Prispevajo zlasti k čezmerno povišanim koncentracijam prizemnega ozona, delcev PM10in PM2,5 ter dušikovih oksidov.Ustrezno vrednost emisij CO2 za vozila, testirana v skladu s postopkom WLTP, predstavlja vrednost emisij CO2 (WLTP) v g/km pri kombinirani vožnji, za električna hibridna vozila pa ponderirana vrednost emisij CO2 (WLTP) v g/km pri kombinirani vožnji. Vse nadaljnje informacije o specifičniporabi goriva in specifičnih emisijah CO₂ za nova osebna vozila boste našli v Priročniku o varčni porabi goriva in emisijah CO₂, ki ga lahko brezplačno dobite na prodajnem mestu ali na spletni strani www.audi.si. Zaradi realnejših preizkusnih pogojev so vrednosti porabe goriva in emisij CO₂, izmerjene v skladu z WLTP, v številnih primerih višje od vrednosti, ki so izmerjene v skladu z NEVC. Dodatne informacije o razlikah med postopkoma WLTP in NEVC najdete v spletni predstavitvi na www.audi.si/servis-dopolnilna-oprema/servis-audi/okolje-in-tehnologija/wltp.
