The market trend in the automotive industry is moving toward electric cars, and Italian auto design house Pininfarina is among the companies who will be coming out with their line of electric models.
The B0 or B Zero is Pininfarina’s five-door hatchback compact EV which was designed to be a solution to have a cleaner world. The B0 was unveiled at the Paris Mondial de l’Automobile 2008 in honor of Pininfarina’s late chairman and chief executive Andrea Pininfarina.
The production of B0 will be a collaborative project between Pininfarina and the Bollore Group, with the latter company in charge of producing the supercapacitators and the LMP or lithium-metal polymer battery pack to be used in the B0. For those who don’t know, the LMP battery pack is placed beneath the car floor and works to ensure that the weight distribution is balanced. Among the advantages of using the LMP battery pack is that it’s rechargeable in just a few hours, has high energy density, has a service life of 125,000 miles, and is maintenance free.
