PRESS RELEASE:
Jeep® Renegade Concept
BLUETEC diesel Range Extended Electric Vehicle
in fun, open-air, sustainable design package
A B-segment Jeep® concept vehicle, the Renegade is a sporty, "minimized"
two-seater ideally suited for the all-weather fun of dune-surfing or
rock-crawling.
"With an electric motor powering each axle, the Jeep Renegade concept is
designed for a 'hang on and have fun experience,'" said Tony Shamenkov, Jeep
Renegade concept principal exterior designer.
Constructed of environmentally responsible materials, sustainability is a key
theme of the Jeep Renegade concept.
Renegade is targeted at customers in the "Stylish Green" segment of the
marketplace – those who are extremely environmentally oriented, appreciate
high-tech and innovation, and enjoy performance combined with style in keeping
with their "green" attitude.
Jeep Renegade Concept Technology
The advanced propulsion system in the Jeep Renegade concept starts with a
40-mile lithium-ion battery pack. A range extender – in Renegade's case, a
small-displacement (1.5-liter, 3-cylinder) BLUETEC diesel engine – allows for
journeys beyond 40 miles. In fact, the Jeep Renegade concept boasts a 400-mile
range.
Renegade's BLUETEC diesel engine generates an additional 115 horsepower when
needed, while greatly reducing exhaust emissions when compared to standard
gasoline engines. Renegade is capable of achieving an equivalent petroleum fuel
economy of 110 miles per gallon, which is four-to-five times greater than an
equivalent gasoline-only vehicle.
The all-new Jeep Renegade concept's lightweight aluminum architecture and regen-braking
system help to improve overall efficiency, while dual electric 200 kilowatt (268
horsepower) motors propel a very capable 4x4 system – complete with low range
and locking differentials -- worthy of carrying the Jeep name.
Jeep Renegade Concept Exterior
The Jeep Renegade concept's "one-with-nature" personality is emphasized by its
large, flaring wheel openings, oversized wheels and tires, and cut-down
speedster windshield -- all of which combine to deliver on the Renegade's
promise of cross-country fun and agility.
Among the unique exterior details are "deconstructed" rubber-clad headlamps and
taillamps, as well as just-for-fun elongated triangular openings in each of the
two sculpted doors.
While the Renegade features a roll bar, it has no top. Instead, the cargo deck
just behind the cockpit can be fitted with a variety of "lids." Options include
a plain lid, or lids configured to accommodate the gear of a particular outdoor
day-trip activity, such as mountain biking or kayaking. Or it can come "as
built" -- with formations designed to accommodate two matching water scooters
with open storage underneath. Fluid-fill caps, a plug-in port and a first-aid
kit are also included.
Jeep Renegade Concept Interior
Sustainability – a ratio between the energy needed to build and ship the vehicle
as compared with the impact these processes have on the environment – is a key
focus of the Jeep Renegade concept's interior design.
Materials used in constructing the Jeep Renegade concept were deliberately
selected to be environmentally responsible, both in manufacture and
end-of-vehicle-life recyclability.
Innovative construction includes one-piece molded soy-based foam seats and
doors, a one-piece co-molded instrument panel with a urethane skin, a co-molded
aluminum/silicone steering wheel, a one-piece molded chassis created without
using environmentally-harmful resins, and a one-piece molded interior
compartment "tub." This environmental care in designing the Renegade's interior
is aligned with Jeep's "harmony with nature" philosophy.
"The Jeep Renegade concept's interior - actually the entire vehicle - is
designed to minimize the number of parts necessary for assembly and function,"
said Scott Anderson, principal interior designer of the Renegade concept. "We
designed the Renegade with an eye toward simplification of systems, both in
parts and processes."
The HVAC system, for example, is not coolant-based, while the color, grain and
gloss of the interior parts are molded in one piece. Even the no-gloss exterior
color of the Renegade's lightweight composite body is molded in to avoid the use
of solvents present in automotive paints.
The dual-cockpit instrument panel is symmetrically balanced for easy "plug and
play" left-hand drive and right-hand drive applications. There is no
conventional wiring. Instead, the instrument panel features wireless electronics
in sealed, self-contained units, removable by the customer. The panel is built
about an exposed cross-car beam containing an integrated power strip, and on the
passenger side, yaw, pitch and roll indicators (also built into the fluid-fill
gauges). The instrument panel itself is hollow, allowing ample open storage
below the beam. Separately-configured impact-absorbing vinyl-wrapped
knee-blockers "float" beneath the cross-car beam.
The thin multi-plane acrylic instrument cluster mounts to the steering column,
while the similar but separate center control screen mounts on a swivel base --
providing easy access to both occupants.
Located at the intersection of the steering wheel's T-shaped spokes, the
circular LED screen rotates, allowing the driver to select the drive mode, while
a flattened rim provides roomier thigh clearance. A driver air bag is concealed
beneath the screen. Red or green translucent shift buttons allow Park, Reverse
or Drive selections.
The Jeep Renegade concept's sporty doors incorporate unique canvas-pull remote
"handles," while the rush of the moving landscape visible through the door's
elongated openings enhance the feeling of carefree, open-air mobility.
The Renegade's contoured, figure-form seats -- covered in scuba-like waterproof
materials that are both soft-touch and flexible -- feature in-seat belts and
unusual, hollow, lightweight upside-down "U-shaped" headrests. The seats feature
a urethane skin with soy-based foam co-molded with a composite substructure. The
integral seatbelts, along with slender accent strips on the seats and instrument
panel, repeat the Palm Metallic exterior color.
A "thermal unit" in the center console plugs into the electrical battery pack,
permitting food to be either heated or cooled.
"Inspired by the simplicity and functionality of scuba diving gear, we wanted
the interior of the Jeep Renegade concept to be weather-tight and durable,"
Anderson said.
The Renegade's wireless interior is designed to be hosed down. It features a
drain in the floor, while the formations built into the floor mat are designed
to channel water to the opening. Hollow-section billet-formed pedals float above
the tub floor.
Fun, functional and fabricated from recyclable materials, the Jeep Renegade
concept offers agile, capable performance without sacrificing the environment
its drivers seek to explore. Keeping with Jeep owners' desire to use their
vehicles as an extension of their active lives, the Jeep Renegade concept
promotes enjoyment of the good things of the earth while taking care of its
future.
