has a maximum speed of 90 km/h and can accelerate from 0 to 60 km/h in 4.0 seconds. The lithium-ion batteries of the Peugeot BB1 Concept can offer it a range of around 120 km on a full charge. With its BB1 concept car, Peugeot has fearlessly pushed back the conventions and boundaries of automobile manufacturing to bring a totally original response to the current and future needs of urban mobility. Capable of seating four people in a vehicle just 2.5 metres long, the BB1 concept car is a full electric vehicle that reinvents the automobile in every way: architecture, style, interior design, drive, connectivity while all the time respecting the environment. At the forefront are the values of liberty, optimism even “altruism”. The Peugeot BB1 concept car is the promise of a new driving experience.
Peugeot BB1 Concept is fitted with electric motors in the rear wheels, designed in association with Michelin. The Peugeot BB1 Concept comes with a maximum power output of 15 kW (20hp) or 7.5 kW per motor and response at start-up (0 to 30 kph in 2.8 seconds) and excellent in-gear acceleration (30-60 kph in 4 seconds). The Peugeot BB1 Concept interior can be transformed as required to offer a load volume of 160 liters (with four occupants), rising to 855 liters (with just one person in the car).
The world is always on the move. Urban traffi c is ever increasing. Everyone wants to save time and the environment is a bigger priority than it ever has been before. Designers are seeking ever more ingenious ways to visualise a plethora of solutions for the future. To meet all these needs, Peugeot has developed an amazing mobility offer. Depending on age and their current needs, everyone can fi nd a suitable solution in Peugeot’s lion-branded range of bikes, motorbikes and automobiles. Peugeot are constantly studying and sharing mobility solutions, bringing together various internal companies to pool their expertise and their creativity to give rise to particularly original projects. Indeed, Peugeot has always sought to be a global, durable provider of mobility, with an inventive, responsible and competitive range of vehicles, whether they are on two, three or four wheels.
The Peugeot BB1 concept car, unveiled at the 63rd Frankfurt Motor Show, paves the way for this ideal by pushing back the barriers to bring a renewed driveability, expressiveness and allure... This electric vehicle aims to explore new grounds with regards to urban mobility.
The Peugeot BB1 concept brief was to tackle all issues of the modern world faced by people on a daily basis in order to offer maximum versatility, a compact size; be dynamic and manoeuvrable (3.5m turning circle). To achieve all this, the Peugeot teams faced a real challenge never before seen in the history of the automobile: accommodating four people in a car 2.5m long. This record use of interior space could potentially lead to a larger load capacity, even though its “compact” size gives it the ability to park in extremely tight spots even perpendicular to the pavement.
To meet this challenge, the structure of the passenger compartment has drawn inspiration from two-wheeled vehicles in terms of ergonomics: the driver controls the vehicle by adopting a new driving position - more vertical than is usual. This is mainly made possible through the absence of fl oor pedals. The rear passenger is seated in tandem behind the driver. On the right-hand side, front and rear passengers adopt the same position. It is thanks to this original confi guration for a four-wheel vehicle that the BB1 has such a totally original design. Access to the vehicle is through the inverted door opening mechanism, while boot access is through a tail board and a tailgate. The interior can be transformed as required to offer a load volume of 160 litres (with four occupants), rising to 855 litres (with just one person in the car).
The style of the vehicle highlights the interior space and the driving ergonomics. With its sweeping styling lines at the front, large glazed area, low doors (for the passenger compartment ventilation system) and very clear wheel arch space. The car also represents a break with the past through its exterior styling in relation to the automobiles we have seen to date. As well as the openness and brightness brought by the large windows, the BB1 presents an extensive set of interactive technologies. The colour display and the Robust and protective, the quality and technology shine through in every detail, such as the “full LED” front headlights and rear view cameras. The double bubble roof, as in the RCZ, helps with the rear space of the vehicle.
