New World Alfa Romeo MiTo
Need to be located in the DNA of a modern Alfa Romeo MiTo. In fact, after I first proposed a revolutionary engine MultiAir, today is the first car on the market offering automatic transmission with double clutch dry "Alpha TCT in combination with Start & Stop system, which manages a temporary stopping point for a stop. In addition, always under the sign of technological innovation, in a model MiTo will debut a new "Blue & Me-TomTom ', the latest evolution of the system Blue & Me.
Gearbox "Alpha TCT"
In Geneva, the Alfa Romeo MiTo will debut an innovative gearbox "Alpha TCT, automatic dual-clutch gearbox with the newest generation of dry equipped with 6 speed.
Developed and produced by FPT - Fiat Powertrain Technologies, the new device due to the modern family of 6-progressive gearbox (C635), which debuted in the mechanical version of the MiTo Turbo 170HP petrol MultiAir. Today, turn on the box "Alpha TCT" together with the drive units MultiAir with Start & Stop system, mounted in series: it is the Alfa Romeo MiTo is the first vehicle on the market that combines these three innovative technologies. In the forthcoming spring sales, the audience can admire MultiAir MiTo 1.4 Turbo petrol with 135 hp inboard "Alfa TCT", and rods in the steering gear (optional).
The new device consists of two connected in parallel transmissions, each of which has its own clutch, which allows you to select and integrate the next gear when the current one is still on. Changing gear is therefore done through a simple step-change coupling, which ensures the continuity of the torque delivered, and thus drive. The result is a more comfortable driving and sporting feel stronger than those offered by conventional automatic transmission (with torque converter), which shows a higher speed gear changes, you can choose between manual mode and automatic and power loss when the shift virtually at zero. In addition, costs of purchase, maintenance and supplies are reduced, and reduced fuel consumption, including through the use of the Start & Stop by 10% compared with a conventional automatic transmission, hydraulic system navigable from the torque converter.
Exactly speaking, the gearbox "Alpha TCT" offers the largest number of interactions with the vehicle systems which can be found on the market. In fact, it interacts with the steering, the braking and acceleration mechanism, Alfa DNA switch, Start & Stop system, ABS, engine, and the slope index (allowing for the inclusion and exclusion Hill Holder Start & Stop after its activation).
Further features of the new gear "TCT Alpha" is the flexibility of application, thanks to the compact form elements, and double clutch dry "Dry" (a type of coupling, which ensures the highest degree of efficiency in terms of fuel consumption among the automatic gearbox). Comparing the clutch "Dry" from the clutches oil ( "Wet"), it can be concluded that the former dissipate energy only during the sliding phase change gear and move off, while the clutch "Wet", working all the time in an oil bath, running at a loss as a result of friction. Moreover, requiring a forced oil cooling, so continuously dissipate energy for the pump oil (absent in the dry clutches). In addition, the automatic transmission wet type is needed about 4.8 liters of oil more than the dry version, always for the same reason - a clutch cooling (and thus increases the weight and increasing losses). It all makes dry gearbox is approximately 6% more efficient in terms of consumption of the wet version. No less important, among the advantages of dry clutches are also lower costs and greater ease of installation.
Finally, it should be noted that the new gear "Alfa TCT" boasts 23 patents already official divided into 3 categories: control of the gearbox, gearbox and mechanical servo gearbox.
"Blue & Me-TomTom '
"Blue & Me-TomTom 'is more than portable navigation, is a true system of information and telecommunications, which combines the practicality of the full integration of vehicle systems. The device is the result of a partnership by Fiat Group Automobiles and TomTom, a European leader in portable navigation systems, and uses the versatility of the system Blue & Me, developed in collaboration with Magneti Marelli, to interact with the systems of the vehicle.
Using the 4.3-inch color touch screen and a simple and intuitive graphical interface you can manage the navigation features, phone and information is usually displayed only on the computer board, as well as fuel consumption and range.
Full integration of Blue & Me, the TomTom is also considerable support for security control and command functions through voice commands or buttons on the steering wheel, readily available and clearly visible location in the middle of the dashboard, power supply in the holder.
In addition, the device can be moved and used elsewhere, like any other device of this type. "Blue & Me-TomTom 'Alfa Romeo MiTo also offers the technology," IQ route ", to find the best route, taking into account the date and time of crossing routes, calculated on the basis of a database that collects information on road conditions on the basis of statistical information.
In addition, through the TomTom Home web application tailored to the needs of Alfa Romeo, will be available on-line updates of maps and "MapShare", a great community site with 5 million registered users in real time to share information mapping.
"Blue & Me-TomTom 'in comparison with the traditional portable navigation, the menu has the exclusive' Car Menu ', which allows you to display information about the parameters of the vehicle and connected devices:
- "Fuel Efficiency" real-time information on driving style and suggestions on how to reduce pollution and optimize fuel consumption through correct use of the gearbox and acceleration terms of the type of routes driven.
- Information on the ride on one screen: mileage, wear and coverage.
- Ostrzeżenie o rezerwie paliwa i poprowadzenie do najbliższej stacji.
- Interesujące miejsca z punktami obsługi Alfa Romeo i stacjami LPG.
- Obsługa telefonu komórkowego podłączonego do Blue&Me: wybieranie numeru z ekranu dotykowego, odbieranie połączeń, odczyt informacji, korzystanie z książki telefonicznej i przeglądanie ostatnich połączeń.
Podsumowując, Blue&Me TomTom dla Alfy Romeo Mito to prawdziwe “okno komunikacji z pojazdem”, pozwalające na pełne wykorzystanie potencjału i poprawę własnego stylu jazdy w sposób całkowicie bezpieczny i jak najbardziej wygodny.
