Innovations
For more than a century, Opel has been at the forefront of automotive design and innovation. Here is a selection of our innovations: 1899 First Opel Automobile patent: reverse gear in patented motor car, Lutzmann system. Opel makes the automobile affordable with the Doctors Car, sold at a price of 3,950 marks. Introduction of modular construction system at Opel: Prefabricated car bodies can now be combined with different engines and chassis. Opel is first German manufacturer to adopt assembly-line manufacturing methods that enable volume production. Opel builds RAK 1 and RAK 2. RAK 2 has 24 solid fuel rockets that catapult the vehicle to an amazing 238 km/h, setting a new world record. Opel is first manufacturer to set up a customer service school. Opel Olympia is first German large-volume vehicle with self-bearing whole-steel body. The new design reduces the cars weight and improves aerodynamics and passive safety (rigid passenger cell with a front end that deforms in stages on impact). Performance and fuel efficiency both rise sharply. Opel Experimental GT is first concept car by an European automobile manufacturer and first concept car to go into production (in 1968). Composite-glass front windscreen for all Opel models. Opel patent: cavity in piston head reduces noise in diesel engines. Opel Senator is the first car with ABS System.

The Ampera extended-range electric vehicle will make the Opel brand the first European automobile manufacturer to provide customers several hundred kilometers of non-stop electric driving.

Environment

Opel is committed to energy diversity Opel leads environmentally-friendly technology development Opel supports reducing vehicle emissions and has a clear strategy regarding environmentally-friendly technology development: Opel will continue to improve internal combustion engines as well as manual and automatic transmissions. Key to its energy-diversity strategy is a variety of technical details to improve vehicle performance and significantly reduce CO2 emissions. Opel will also continue its efforts to displace petroleum fuels with alternative fuels such as CNG/LPG. Opel is a leader in CNG vehicles that can also be fueled with biogas. Opel will introduce pure battery-electric vehicles in smaller-size segments
Opel is pursuing energy diversity on many fronts. It is clear to us that petroleum alone cannot fuel all of the worlds rapidly growing demand for enhanced personal mobility. We must develop alternative sources of propulsion, using a variety of energy sources. Opel has a broad commitment to producing electric-drive vehicles that help diversify energy sources, reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency. The innovative Voltec electric-drive technology, featured in the Opel Ampera, is an important step to leadership in the development of electrically-driven vehicles. With the Ampera, Opel will be the first European automobile manufacturer to provide customers with an electrically driven vehicle capable of being the primary vehicle in the household. Ampera and the Chevrolet Volt are the first electricallydriven cars to provide zero range anxiety (from being stranded by a depleted battery) as well as zero emissions. Ampera and the Chevrolet Volt will deliver 60 km (40 miles) of emission-free electric driving, with the capability to extend the range to more than 500 of kilometers via an on-board generator. Featuring GMs fourth-generation fuel-cell propulsion, HydroGen4 produces an electric output of up to 93 kW and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in around 12 seconds. Project Driveway, the worlds largest market test of fuel-cell vehicles: In November 2008, 10 HydroGen4 vehicles were added to the test fleet of the Clean Energy Partnership (CEP) in Berlin, Germany a program supported by GM/Opel, fuel companies, utilities, other automakers and the German government. CEP provides customers with hydrogenpowered vehicles and fueling stations for day-to-day testing. The project will run through 2016. Nine large corporations ADAC, Allianz, Axel Springer AG, Coca-Cola, Hilton, Linde, Schindler, Total, and Veolia are the first business partners to test the HydroGen4 in Berlin, in day-to-day operation. 10

Opel environmental initiatives in Europe
Opel/Vauxhall offers a wide range of low CO2 g/km ecoFlex variants in each model line. Opel/Vauxhall ecoFLEX models combine the best of both worlds: they offer low emissions and fuel consumption without compromising on performance or driving dynamics. In 2009 Opel expanded its initiative to promote regenerative electricity production by building a solar energy power plant on the roofs of its Rsselsheim and Kaiserslautern manufacturing facilities. Some examples: The new Opel Corsa ecoFLEX is more respectful of the environment and more fun to drive than ever. It is powered by a sophisticated, 70 kW/95 hp 1.3 CDTI diesel engine boosted by a turbo with variable geometry. It is packed with 28 percent more power than the previous generation Corsa ecoFLEX even though fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are slashed by some 10 percent to 98 g/km CO2. The Astras line-up of powertrains with manual transmission provides impressive performance and overall cuts CO2 emissions by more than 12 percent compared with the current generation. The average fuel consumption of the diesel engines is 4.6 l/100 km and only 6.1 l/100 km for the gasoline line-up. Ecological star of the Opel Astra model line is the 95 hp Astra 1.3 CDTI ecoFLEX which boasts an average fuel consumption of only 4.2 liters per 100 kilometers and just 109 g/km CO2 emissions.
Heart of the Insignia ecoFLEX model is the 4-cylinder 2.0 CDTI engine with two versions: 118 kW/160 hp or 95 kW/130 hp. Both consume only 5.2 liters of diesel per 100 km equivalent to 136 g/km of CO2 emissions yet they deliver generous torque values ranging from 320 up to 380 Nm. That is thanks to a powerful, new-generation 2-liter common-rail turbo diesel engine refined specifically for the ecoFLEX range
