OPEL'S ECOFLEX PLAN

摘要

For the Opel-Vauxhall Astra EcoFlex, the engineers were working from a more established production model. The target was 119g/km of CO_2 from the outset, says Claudio Dori, GM Europe's compact-car development director: "It's the limit for tax incentives in many European countries." And the team started with a 1.7-litre Astra as a base vehicle, which emits 138g/km of CO_2.
