Todos queremos un coche atractivo, que gaste poco, que sea muy seguro y, sobre todo, que tenga alguna de las etiquetas de la DGT que nos aseguren que no tendremos problemas de acceso a los centros urbanos o a otros lugares en el futuro. Hoy te explicamos cual corresponde a cada tipo de coche con dos Seat León que disponen de las etiquetas Eco y Cero.
...Y recuerda que en coches.net tienes la mayor oferta de coches.
Buying a car has become
a small Odyssey today and not only because of the
price nowadays We all want an
attractive car that is safe, spends
little and above all that has some of
those DGT labels that
guarantee us that in the future We will be able to
continue entering both
urban centers and all those environments
where
restrictions are applied. To do so, we will need the
eco label or the zero label. Today we are going to
talk about labels, we
will tell you which cars are worthy of
each of them and the differences that exist.
exist and to do so, there is nothing better than
having two cars like these two
Seat Leóns that I have next to me that
have those labels, two high-
volume sales cars from a
tremendously generalist segment such as the
C-segment family cars and that
actually have the eco label
this one because it is hdo and the zero label
this one because it is plug-in hybrid
[Music]
before getting into the matter
of labels we have to
explain something that gives rise to many
misunderstandings and quite a few controversies the
difference between the regulations that
regulate the registration tax and
obtaining the labels that
has nothing to do with
the registration tax that
we pay when buying a new car is
based on the amount of CO2 emitted in
this sense this León and tsi pays a
4.75 percent tax registration fee
because its emissions are greater than
120 grams, specifically, it emits 32.
However, the lion e hybrid plug-in hybrid
with emissions of only 25
G per kilometer, then we will talk about
the approvals of
plug-in hybrids, and is exempt from paying the
registration tax. So far everything is correct,
the registration taxes and some
that the autonomous communities charge for
vehicle emissions are
always based on CO2, which as you know is a
harmless gas, that is, non-polluting, but
which is found in excess in the
atmosphere as a consequence of Its
massive artificial generation, partly
by combustion vehicles, this
surplus of CO2 contributes to
global warming of the planet and must be
controlled, hence, by 2050 we
talk about carbon neutrality, that
is, avoiding the generation of CO2
artificially or recover it
to eliminate that surplus
[Music]
on the other hand, the environmental labels
granted by the DGT, B and C, are governed
by compliance with
European anti-pollution regulations that do not take
into account CO2 but other gases and
harmful elements such as
carbon monoxide. nitrogen oxides and
particles, the eco and zero labels, on the
other hand, are awarded depending on the
type of vehicle and have no
relation to CO2, so the eco label
is awarded to vehicles considered
hybrid, those that run on
compressed natural gas or with liquefied
petroleum gas and plug-in hybrids
with a range in electric mode of
less than 40 km, those with a
zero label are
electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids
whose range in electric mode exceeds
those aforementioned 40 km, as is the case of
this León hybrid plug-in This
explanation is relevant because there are
many people who consider that it is not It is
logical that a car without a label but with
low consumption, a diesel from 20 years ago
for example, cannot access an
urban center because it does not have a label and instead
large cars Current dimensions and high
displacement can do so
when they consume much more and generate more
CO2. The explanation is that it is a diesel engine
from 20 years ago and all its
contemporaries may consume
less but pollute more since they
complied with old Euro 3 or
Euro4 regulations whose limitations of co, nox,
particles or heavy metals were
less demanding and therefore they are
much dirtier vehicles, much more
polluting than any
modern car. That complies with the Euro 6d regulations,
that is the reason and no other reason why
they are prevented from passing through. certain
low-emission areas or
urban centers we now go with the labels and
types of vehicles to which
[Music] is
granted any new registered car
right now, whether gasoline or
diesel, without any type of
electrification and without being suitable
to operate with gas
automatically obtains the C label from the DGT
to have one like this, an
eco label, the car must be a hybrid hybrid
like this Seat Leon etsi, which is a
light hybrid and has
a 1.5 L cu-cylinder gasoline engine
and 150 horsepower complemented by a
small 48 V electric motor activated
by a lithium-ion battery is
what is called a light hybrid or mild
hybrid, that is, an
mhv for the acronym in English of mild
hybrid
[Music]
vehicle driving a mild hybrid It is like
driving a gasoline car, there is
hardly any difference. The only thing we will notice
is, for example, when we approach a
traffic light, we lift our foot and begin to
brake. When the car drops below a
certain speed, it stops sooner than
a car with gasoline would. Conventional stop start
with this system
fuel savings are achieved that in
the case of city traffic
can be up to
15% in the case of this León and the
average gasoline consumption is only 5.5
L per 100 km accelerates from 0 to 100 in 8.4
seconds and reaches a maximum speed
of 221 km/h on the road and highway. There
are no differences in consumption with respect
to a conventional gasoline car,
but not only mild
hybrids or ieros hybrids have the right to
the eco label there are four other
types of vehicles that also
have this label, for
example, conventional hybrid
cars that have a battery of
approximately 1
kW and an electric motor that is capable of
moving the vehicle on its own, something that does
not happen in the Light hybrids, this
type of car also saves
fuel, especially in the City, compared
to an identical gasoline car and
therefore also saves
polluting emissions. Two other types are
those of gas cars, both those that
use liquefied petroleum gas
and LPG. that use compressed natural gas
CNG Like some
Seat models of the Seat León itself that were sold
until a few months ago and finally the
last type of vehicles with the right to
the eco label are
plug-in hybrids with a range in
electric mode of less than 40
km Of course, when you have a
BC type car with those labels, the only
alternative you have to get the
eco label is to take it to a
always specialized workshop with a guarantee and
make a transformation so that it can
use LPG. In this way, you will
also get the
eo label. The zero label is obviously
for electric cars but
[Music]
this León e hybrid also has it and it
is not an electric car and we have already
mentioned that plug-in hybrids
with a range greater than 40 km
per hour also have this
eco label This specific car combines a
gasoline engine with an electric motor
and has a range in WLTP mode of 62
2 km in 100% electric mode these 62 km
are what give it the most
precious label right now the only one that
guarantees us free access to any
site there are rumors that the dgt is
considering extending
the minimum autonomy of
plug-in hybrids to 90 km in electric mode to obtain
the zero label but at the end of
2023, which is the date of this video,
those are just rumors in Any case ening
a moment would have retroactive effects
so that whoever buys a car
like this today will have the zero label for the
life of the car obviously
a car like this plug-in hybrid
makes a lot of sense for many
people Although it is important that they be
met a couple of conditions, the first
obviously is that you have a place
to plug in the car to recharge it
at night, in this case 5 hours
in a normal plug or 3 and Med in a
TR 37
kw outlet is enough and the other is that it be used correctly
buying a plug-in hybrid car
simply for the benefits of the
zero label is absurd because when
a car of this type really pays off
is when we use it in
100%
electric mode. Furthermore, if we do it like this, if
we recharge it every day we will have
those 60 and so many kilometers that
will serve the majority of those who are
watching this video for most
daily trips and then when
we have to travel on the weekend or
on vacation we will have a
conventional hybrid that also reduces
consumption compared to a car
gasoline indeed. And this is another
common mistake in the case of plug
-in hybrids to think that when
the battery runs out we only have the
power of the gasoline engine and the
consumption of that engine that must draw on the
added weight of the electric motor and the
battery Well, no, that's not the case. This car,
for example, advertises a power of 204
horsepower, acceleration from 0 to 100 in 7
and a half seconds and a maximum speed
of 220
km/h. The four-cylinder gasoline engine
of this car has 150
horsepower and the 116 electric motor
the battery is 12.8 kw hour with
a net capacity of
10.8 so if in the City when
we use it in the City this car has
a maximum power of 116 horsepower
because it circulates in electric mode and then
on the road when we use it. We are left without the
battery, it turns out that we can only
use the 150 horsepower motor as
it is possible that this
car advertises a Power of
204. The reason is very simple and it is that this
and all plug-in hybrid cars
at the moment they exhaust the battery.
battery that makes it impossible for them to continue
driving electric, they become not
a gasoline car but a
conventional hybrid car. In this case, the
gasoline engine is the main engine but the
electric one is powered by the remaining
energy that remains in the battery and is
It is constantly recovered during
braking and deceleration or when
required by the gasoline engine itself, it
is always in position as a
whole system to
replace the propulsion motor. In
those moments when this is feasible
at low speed in traffic jams or at
stable speed on the highway on
flat or slightly descending terrain
for example or to complement it in
accelerations and recoveries in this
case is when those 204
horses of maximum power are delivered, which are a
combination of the 150 of the
gasoline engine and 54 that the electric engine adds
[ Music] we
must also take into account that this
and all plug-in hybrid cars
have three other really
interesting functions, the first is the
possibility of regulating the
energy regeneration in the City, for example, we can
set the maximum mode and in this way with
each braking in the City Each deceleration
we will recover the maximum energy that we
can continue reusing and therefore
we increase the autonomy in this way. We
can do the same thing, for
example, when we do a
mountain pass on the road because in this
way every time we lift our foot we
get closer to a curve
we will recover a lot of energy and
we will also avoid brake wear since
these plug-in hybrid cars, in
the first part of the braking, what
they do is brake regeneratively
with the engine brake much stronger than
in a conventional car, the other two
elements have to To do
with the electrical operation of the
vehicle, plug-in hybrids have
two added functions. The first is the one
that saves the energy in quotes to
use it later. Let's imagine that
we leave home and live in the extra
radius and we have to enter the center
of a city, we can ask the car
to conserve at all times a part
of the battery's energy and therefore
initially work not in
electric mode but in hybrid mode. In this
way what we achieve is that when we
arrive at our destination when we arrive at the city
at get to the place where we are required
to use the 100% electric mode,
we conserve the capacity of the battery
to be able to do it on the other hand, these
cars are also capable of charging the
battery with the gasoline engine, it is
obviously not very efficient but we
have stayed without a battery because we
have already used all of the
accumulated energy and we have to get to
a city in an urban center where only
electric cars or cars that operate in
electric mode are allowed. We can
recharge the battery during the trip using the
gasoline engine and so when we arrive at our destination
we have the possibility of using the
car in 100% electric mode. Finally,
the promised clarification on the consumption
of plug-in hybrids is
approved, a consumption of 1.1 L at 100
for this car and you will say that you don't
believe it. Nobody and you are right but let's not
blame Seat in this case or the rest
of the brands that approve consumption
between 1 and 3 lr for their cars of this
type. The problem is the
WLTP approval protocol that is not suitable for
this type of car. 1.1 lr is
the consumption of this car. During the
first 100 km running, 62 of them
in electric mode and therefore with
zero expenditure and the remaining 38 in
hybrid mode. From Coches.net we have
always defended that European legislation
should offer users two
homologation figures for this type of
car, the one for the first 100 km that is already
given and the one for the next 100
operating in hybrid mode. In this way,
the user would know what the
real consumption of their car is on, for example, a trip.
of 500
km we have calculated it for
you and with this plug-in hybrid Seat León
the consumption that we have obtained
using it on the highway is 5.7 L At
100 km, which is a consumption very
similar to what we would achieve with an
identical gasoline car power and
of the same size,
the advantage of hybridization is that it
reduces consumption compared to a
gasoline car with these characteristics and in this way compensates for the
extra weight involved in having
in this case an electric motor with
a battery and With the entire
charging system, which in the specific case of this
204-horsepower plug-in hybrid Seat León
is 250 kg, in any case
the balance always ends up favoring
this car. Because if we use the
electric mode during those 60 km
per day, there are savings. What we have is very
important because if we recharge, for
example at night with Valley time,
what we will spend to have the
necessary energy for those 60 km. It will
obviously be much lower than the price it
would cost us to do that same trip
with
gasoline, of course, in addition to the
hybrids. plug-in vehicles with more than 40 km of
autonomy, all electric cars
also have the right to the
zero label from the
DGT, since you already know what this is about
labels and hybrids, we wanted to
explain it with concrete examples, which is
why we have used these two Leons
to so that you can see the advantages that
each of the degrees of
electrification has And what label is
achieved with each of them, if
you still have doubts, if it is not
completely clear to you, put them in the
comments and we will be
happy to answer you as always
