Amper is more than a product with the latest technology and environmental value. Visser adds: "turn the vision into reality, playing in a philosophy Opel advanced and innovative. Amper is the cleanest, positive thinking and progressive company with which we address future challenges."

Amper is a pioneer in terms of e-mobility program of the Opel program that includes small cars, powered solely by battery for urban traffic and the development of vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cell which generates its own energy power required.

The revolutionary electric drive system Voltec

Electric propulsion unit, located under the hood, along the gasoline engine, comprises an electric motor to drive a generator / electric motor and a planetary transmission which increases overall efficiency, reducing the combined speed of electric motors. Unlike a regular powerplant, there are no mechanisms to speed.

The extended-range mode that activates when the battery is a minimum charge, the electric drive unit is driven by uniform driving force provided by a generator. The generator is powered by a highly efficient gasoline engine with a displacement of 1.4 liters and an output of 63 kW/86 hp.

Opel estimated that in 90% of travel time, drivers will select one of the two main driving modes: Normal and Sport. "Sport" mode increases the sensitivity of the accelerator. There are two other ways for some specific driving situations: how "Mountain" ensure sufficient battery capacity to move the mountain trails. The "Hold-charge" conserve remaining battery power by turning the engine on gasoline - a useful feature to take advantage of self-management based on battery Ampera in areas with restrictions on emissions, such as in urban areas and city centers .

T-shaped battery, weighing 98 kg and a capacity of 16 kWh (installed capacity) is centrally located in the vehicle and the tunnel itself is protected by the support of martensite with a high resistance. The ensemble consists of 288 prismatic lithium-ion cells and is configured to ensure optimal performance and durability. A first in the industry, all have a fluid management system for battery temperature, battery included is only in mass production that can be heated or cooled. European Centre for Alternative Propulsion Opel in Mainz-Kastel, near the town of Rüsselsheim, contributed decisively to the design of this advanced technology.

Ampera loads easily and is equipped with a charging cable with a length of 6 meters, stored in the trunk. Using a standard plug 230 V/16 A, the owners of such a vehicle can recharge the battery in less than 4 hours and to schedule the loading to take advantage of low cost, available in off-peak electricity consumption in .

Exterior and interior design: look electrifying

Forms attractive, sculptural, precise: Ampera brings award-winning design language of Opel electric vehicle segment, combines sculptural artistry with German precision. Balanced proportions with low and commanding position gives it a dynamic and futuristic vehicle. Electric cars have never looked so good!

Specific headlamp housings, shaped boomerang - a new element of Opel's design language - is a clear element identification Ampera, as are the prominent grille and bold Opel emblem. Every aspect of this revolutionary car was designed and analyzed in terms of efficiency, Ampera becoming one of the most aerodynamic and most profitable car market in terms of energy consumption.
