The third-generation Smart electric drive, Smart ED3, was unveiled at the September 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. Key differences with the second-generation model include a more powerful electric motor with improved acceleration and top speed; a new lithium-ion battery pack, which increased the range to 140 kilometres (87 mi) with a quick-charge option; other new features include an enlarged grille opening, LED daytime running lights, wider door sills, some minor modifications to the rear, fully automatic air conditioning with pollen filter and pre-air conditioning. Several features are controlled remotely through a smart drive application for the iPhone.
Canadian pricing for the Electric Drive starts at CA$26,990

The smart marque began as a collaboration between Volkswagen and the Swiss watch brand Swatch. After VW pulled out from the project, Daimler-Benz stepped in to provide the vehicle architecture.
The first smart brand car was launched in 1998. The car was a short two-seat city car. The car was known as the Smart City Coupe and Smart City Cabriolet.
A second line was added in 2003 the Smart Roadster (R452) shown, and the Smart Roadster Coupe (C452). The two shared the basic architecture and design, differing primarily in the Roadster having a flat luggage/engine lid behind the rollbar, while the Roadster Coupe had a glass hatch section in the place. Both cars had a removable 'targa' panel over the two occupants, spanning the windscreen and the rollbar.
The Roadster and Roadster Coupe also shared many mechanical systems with the Smart city car (to be renamed Smart Four-Two in 2004), including the engine/transmission systems and suspension. The Smart Roadster and Roadster Coupe had a much lower set 'Tridion' safety cell.
For such an appealing compact sportscar, the Smart Roadster had a short lifespan, being removed from market at the end of 2005.

Nearing the end of its tenure in the fleet, this Dennis Falcon looks very smart for its age at the time as it operates on a 891 Telford to Wolverhampton, somewhere these fine beasts appeared and were well suited. 3088 lasted until final withdrawal after service on 16th February 2009 where incidentally all of the final service examples had appeared in Shrewsbury via various routes over the day! 3088 was briefly returned to service and loaned to Oswestry for a short time in March that year until been driven to Cannock for disposal, sadly all were sent for scrap despite been runners. On a brighter note K212 UHA is the only living member of the batch that was used as a Driver Trainer for a while, now with Midland Classic.
Stagecoach Midlands' KX10 KSZ (15671) is seen turning into Redditch Bus Station before taking an X19 back to Stratford-upon-Avon. The X19 operates out of the Leamington Spa (Warwick Gates) depot and during the day interworks with the X17 (Coventry-Stratford). Diamond run the last X19 off Stratford and Redditch. They run a bus dead from Redditch to Stratford to then take up a bus back to Redditch before running to Stratford. From Stratford it then runs dead to Redditch. KX10KSZ was new in July 2010 to Stagecoach in Warwickshire's Stratford depot for use on the 28 (Stratford-Evesham). It was one of four Scania E400s to wear branding for the 28. However, Stagecoach then extended the X18 (Coventry to Stratford) to Evesham, incorporating the 28 and enabling through connections. Now it wears a smart X18 branding. Buses branded for the route have slogans on the side. On the off side it says "unearthing hidden treasures in Royal Leamington Spa." It is a Scania N230UD/Alexander Dennis (ADL) Enviro 400.
Seen still looking very smart and tidy is one of Dudley's coaches. Being a smaller operator, they take pride in their fleet, whether they're on their excursions or schools (when I went to school on their coaches, I was always happy with their fleet as they are quite interesting).
Dudley's Coaches' S577 KJF is seen dropping passengers off on the Kinwarton Road, just before School Road while spending the day operating the free shuttle service for the Alcester food festival. Dudleys always operate this, and as I had spare time before work, I decided to drive to their Park & Ride site and give the service a go. I was rather impressed again, but it was busy (especially compared to my old school run which only had about 10 people on at most...) S577KJF was new to Fowler Coaches and is a Volvo B10M-62/Plaxton Excalibur. It carries the name "The Flyford Connection II."
Johnsons Coaches' YY16 YLL is seen departing Redditch Bus Station with a 64 towards Woodrow North. The 64 was taken over from Diamond Buses (Rotala PLC), when the contract renewed. Diamond didn't do a very good job with the route, with unreliable buses. They interworked it with the 47/48 (short duty). However, Johnsons now interwork it with their 150 (Birmingham-Redditch) and 350 (Worcester-Redditch). YY16YLL was "new" in June 2016 and entered service without the smart excelbus branding. It is an Alexander Dennis (ADL) Enviro 200. The Enviro200 is one of a growing number of the vehicle types within the Johnsons fleet. Johnsons are based in Henley-in-Arden.
ADH281 YX68UNL seen at Stanmore working on route 142 towards Brent Cross, Shopping Centre.
These are the overall new ultracap, smart hybrids for route H12, yet to enter service on the allocated route though.
Front suspension - MacPherson, rear - semi-independent type deDion. In addition to the suspension, of course, the front steering (with castor), the rear drive on the traditional 3-cylinder engine, located behind the rear axle. The model opens the side doors and the rear door.
In the cabin, a soft steering wheel, an internal rearview mirror, a watch in the depth of the torpedo. The passenger seat folds to form an armrest.
I see lots of Cardinals, Dees, Nuthatches and Downies, but of course I also see lots of House Sparrows (who are an invasive, not Native species-unless you live in Europe in which case they are not) in fact a family nests right outside my home office-we think Bailey hung with the sparrows when he was in the wild because as soon as they wake up and start calling so does he!
I had a hard time deciding what to post for this week and then realized I have very few passer domesticus photos up-so they won!
To be honest, I think these cars really aren't that smart at all. When I found out that they really are nothing more than the Swatch of cars, my point was solidified. Nonetheless, I still think they're worth making a great Lego model out of.
Diamond's YJ07 PAO (30412) is seen departing West Bromwich Bus Station with a 4H towards Hayley Green. It wears the smart new branding for the 4/4H (Walsall-West Brom 4/4H - Halesowen 4H - Hayley Green). This branding is in the same style as used on the 25 Branded Urban 2 at Kidderminster. YJ07PAO was new in April 2007 to Transdev Blazefield's Lancashire United operation (before being rebranded in 2016 to the Blackburn Bus Company), as their 1820. While with Transdev, it wore branding for the Spot On services. It is a Volvo B7RLE/Wright Eclipse Urban.
Yet another selective coloring from Italy, a blue Smart this time.
Have a fabulous weekend everyone.
