The DOK-ING Loox (previously known as DOK-ING XD) is a small Croatian three-seat electric city concept car created by DOK-ING. The name XD came from oddly shaped rear lights ("X" shaped) and "D" beginning letter of the company's name.(they've changed the name since then) Loox can travel over 250 km on a single charge with lithium iron phosphate batteries.〔(Prvi hrvatski auto na struju kreće u prodaju 2011. ) 〕 The car has a low drag coefficient factor of only 0.35. Other features include 360 degree airbags, an integrated safety system for electric stability, ABS brakes and power steering. The XD4 can go from 0–100 km in 4.2 seconds.〔 Currently, the only planned non-Croatian part will be the 32 kWh battery which can go for 200-250 kilometers with a charge time of between three and eight hours. The first prototype was completed at the beginning of 2010 and serial production was expected to start in 2012. DOK-ING first exhibited the car at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. DOK-ING is a privately owned Croatian company, established in the late 1991 for the production of robotic Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV's) for unexploded ordnance removal, firefighting, and underground mining. ==Development== In June 2010, DOK-ING announced that mass production would commence and all XDs would be factory fitted with OZ wheels. Later in 2010, DOK-ING unveiled a topless Loox made in collaboration with computer company Lenovo. The vehicle was fitted with Lenovo components and is said to go into production in 2012. DOK-ING unveiled a production prototype XD at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show and announced the two Loox models: the XD2 and XD4, with 2 and 4 motors respectively. 0–100 km (0–60 miles) is achieved in 7.5 seconds for the XD2 and 4.2 seconds for the XD4.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://doking-automotiv.hr/ )〕 The body is made of Kevlar and carbon fibre upon an aluminium space frame. The same vehicle was later displayed at the 2011 Greater Los Angeles Auto Show where more production details were revealed; DOK-ING intends to produce 1,000 units per year with a retail price of $80,000 according to the New York Times or $108,000 according to Fox News. The electric motors are supplied by the Pula-based Croatian electrical company Tema.〔http://www.tema.hr/mobile-equipment/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「DOK-ING Loox」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
