Auto Expo 2016: Eolab concept car – Renault’s hybrid runs 100km on just a litre

GREATER NOIDA: A drive from Delhi to Agra in just little over a litre of petrol? That may well be possible in the future if Renault’s hybrid vehicle – Eolab Concept – makes it is developed for production.
Indian car buyers have long been known to consider mileage as the most important factor in choosing a car. ‘Kitna deti hai’ has been part of many marketing campaigns but no such questions were asked of the Eolab Concept when it was introduced on Wednesday at the Auto Expo 2016.

Eolab blends a petrol engine with an electric motor and is extremely lightweight – under 1,000kg - which helps it keep fuel consumption to the minimum. The car’s weight is made possible largely due to the fact that Renault has used a combination of steel, aluminium, composites and roof made entirely of magnesium, to build it.
Renault officials add that the Eolab further has adjustable ride height to make the drive even more refreshing.
With the Indian government looking to promote electric and hybrid vehicles, and with pollution levels soaring in almost every city, the Eolab may just be the answer to prayers but currently, there is no word from Renault on when, if at all, one can see Eolab Concent on Indian roads.
