Montpellier Technology


Since the dawn of Montpellier Construction, the Montpellier family of companies has always been on the cutting edge of technology. Montpellier is no exception, priding itself in its dedication to the latest automotive technological advances. Whether it be through the introduction of new models or a refresh of the current line up, rest assured with the knowledge that you'll always be driving the latest in automotive engineering.


Nanomaterials

Materials have come a long way since the days of heavy steel and ugly plastics, so should the materials in your car. Montpellier has teamed up with YellowApple Inc. to provide some of the strongest materials for use in every Montpellier car. The purposes can be structural to cosmetic, but in all cases enhance the safety and efficiency of our vehicles.

Graphene
Ten times stronger, six times lighter, two times harder and more thirteen times more rigid than steel of comparable thickness, graphene has a plethora of uses in the human world. From basic household electronics to massive construction projects, graphene's durability and decreasing production costs are turning it into a material of the future. The automotive industry is no exception.

Montpellier uses graphene for structural components where its strength can be used to replace heavy steel parts, just as in joints, bolts, and critical load-bearing chassis areas. Its light weight provides huge vehicle mass savings, improving performance, fuel economy and driving range. Graphene reduces vehicle weight by as much as 15% and can generate an electrical charge with air friction, harnessed to power batteries.

Graphene plays a critical role in the Montpellier Corrugated Material Safety Structure (CMSS), which inflates on impact to transform areas of the car's structure into a safety bubble, absorbing energy. Feel safe in knowing the cage around you is rigid and won't crush in during a roll-over. Enjoy the comfort of an automobile with fewer squeaks, rattles, and an immunity to rust.

Self-healing polymers
You're always protecting your investments, whether it be home, life, or financial. A car is just that – an important investment in your life. Accidents, rust, and general wear and tear threaten this investment, so why not have a car that can truly tough it out?

Montpellier self-healing polymers are forms of plastic infused with a liquid plastic in tiny veins. When ruptured, these tiny veins release their liquid polymer, reforming and closing the gaps formed. What does this mean for you? Paint that heals is scratches after a single polish, body panels that are not only lightweight, but reform their shape and smooth over their gauges in a matter of days, and of course no rust. Your car will always look fresh and new – as if just driven off the dealer's lot.

Electronics, Safety, and AI

Consumer electronics are always changing and the technologies are being updated at an accelerating rate. Estimates say computers and phones become out of date every 6 to 8 months on average. You change computer every few years, and you probably switch cell phones more often. So what does that say about your car? Every respectable modern automobile of the past 20 to 30 years has an onboard computer. Do you really want an out of date car?

All Montpellier vehicles are engineered to use the latest applicable and suitable computer hardware and software. During regular servicing, any software updates will be installed, ensuring your vehicle is as up to date as can be. Enjoy efficient and perfect tuning, exact and up-to-date navigation, and the best possible in-car entertainment.

These updates have a safety aspect as well. Each Montpellier vehicle is equipped with front-facing sensors and short-range sonar to detect other vehicle, objects, and people. The most obvious use is the active cruise control system, but the Montpellier Reactive Emergency Braking system uses this sonar to actively emergency stop the vehicle and prevent collisions. With frequent software updates, you can be certain your vehicle will have the safest systems around.

Montpellier is always working for you and always concerned for your safety. Each vehicle conforms to the rigorous Miramont Vehicle Safety Assessment Standard (VSAS) and our models regularly receive 5-star VSAS crash test ratings. All vehicles are equipped with features required of cars in Miramont, such as Emergency SOS panic buttons with satellite tracking, first aid kits, space-saving spare tires, and immobilizers with alarm systems. But it doesn't end there. Every Montpellier vehicle comes with standard ABS, traction control, and stability control. The computer's intelligent AI use sonar signals to calculate the distance between your car and the vehicle ahead of it, making necessary adjustments to cruise control and seatbelt tensioning. The Montpellier Reactive Emergency Braking System (MREBS) and Blind Spot Avoidance System (BSAS) are two active safety systems of the AI that complement each vehicle's rigid graphene-reinforced frames and extensive SRS airbag systems.

Montpellier Reactive Emergency Braking System

Mitigating the force of impact is good, but preventing the crash is always better. Pedestrian deaths account for 10% to 15% of all car accident fatalities. Montpellier's goal is to ensure no pedestrian is killed or seriously harmed by any of our products. At speeds of over 25km/h, the Montpellier Reactive Emergency Braking System (MREBS) switches on, keeping pedestrians and other drivers safe.


Image
Sonar and camera ranges for the MREBS.



Montpellier aims to keep cars and pedestrians intact with onboard computers that have authority to apply full braking power. MREBS uses a forward-looking camera and a radar sensor with a wider field of view than that used by previous systems. This lets the computer spot pedestrians moving from the side of the road into the car's path and vehicles slowing down or stopping suddenly ahead.

If a collision is likely, the system will audibly warn the driver and flash a bright red dot on the wind screen. If the driver does not act, the car stops by itself. This system is also used to adjust vehicle speed on cars equipped with active cruise control systems.

Image

However, collisions are sometimes inevitable. If the vehicle's speed is simply too high to stop, road conditions are exceedingly poor, or if the vehicle is travelling too close behind the one in front of it as per the driver's habits, the system can deploy the Skidding AirBag.

The Skidding AirBag recognizes that the limit to a car's ability to brake in an emergency is the available friction of the scant few square inches of tire contact patch at each corner of the car. What if more area could be available to slow the car in case of an emergency?

That's the thinking behind the Skidding AirBag. If the car's on-board computer concludes a collision is imminent, it will fire an airbag located under the front axle that will press a high-friction surface against the ground. This anchor will slow the car at a rate of more than 20 meters per second, the equivalent of more than 2 Gs of stopping force. Modern cars brake with a maximum of roughly 1 G of deceleration.

At a time when there is concern that a move to smaller cars will come at a price in safety, Montpellier estimates that this ability to scrub off speed before impact provides the same benefit as adding seven inches of length to the crush space at the front of the car.

An additional benefit is that the airbag lifts the front of the car by nearly three inches, offsetting the nose dive that occurs during emergency braking. This keeps the car's impact-absorbing crush zones in alignment with those on the other vehicle.

Image

Montpellier Corrective Steering System

Montpellier vehicles can also steer for the driver. When the active cruise control system is switched on, Montpellier Corrective Steering System engages to help prevent the car from drifting out of its lane.

The system watches the road ahead with a camera, and if it sees that the car is headed out of its lane--and the turn signal isn't indicating that this is intentional--it gently steers the car back into its lane.

The intention here is not to drive for the driver, but to reduce the need for constant corrective steering input that can fatigue the driver. Left entirely to its own devices, which is not the designers' intent, Montpellier Corrective Steering System will eventually pinball from one side of the lane to another until the needed corrective input exceeds the system's capability and it drifts across the lane divider. At this point, a chime and red light alert the driver to what is happening, actively ensuring the driver has not fallen asleep at the wheel.

Image
Lane monitoring demonstration.


Inflating Seatbelts

Inflation is also on the minds of Montpellier engineers, who have developed a seatbelt that releases a mini airbag during a crash. In case of a crash, these belts expand in just 40 milliseconds. Since they're much smaller, in terms of volume, than a regular airbag and use just a small canister for gas--similar to a CO2 cartridge--the belts don't get hot like airbags do. The swelling seat belt will help keep smaller occupants in position for maximum protection during a crash, and they also spread the crash forces over five times as much body area compared to the narrow strip of a conventional belt.


Montpellier Corrugated Material Safety Structure

Another part of the car that Montpellier engineers have managed to make inflatable are the steel side-impact protection bars in the doors and roof/roll-cage structures of our cars, adding additional crush-impact space between the occupants and the outside world. To do this, they have come up with an inflatable graphene structure that mounts inside or replaces parts of the vehicle structure with one that it is made of corrugated gaphene. On impact, a high-pressure inflator pops the beam out to its full size.

With these structural components, thin doors can provide the crush space of thick ones. The inflatable beams are also lighter than conventional solid components and just as strong. Smart software precisely detects imminent side impacts without any chance of false alarms and so owners never need to fear disfiguring the sheetmetal.


The safety each Mirmonter has come to know at home is now available to you, exclusively through Montpellier.


Green Technology

Innovation and environmental consciousness often go hand-in-hand, and Montpellier is always thinking of the human impact on the environment. Montpellier is always concerned with the human condition, and our commitment to advances in green technology is our way of making the world just a little healthier for everyone.

Traditionally, fossil-fuel powered vehicles maintained a heavy generator or alternator to recharge the vehicle's battery. Well not anymore at Montpellier. Using regenerative braking on all models, Montpellier's patented Wind-Cell technology, and harnessing the electrical charge of graphene, we've done away with these out-dated components. By saving weight and reducing the strain on each car's engine, performance, handling, and fuel-efficiency are all increased. We've also changed the fuel injection formula entirely. Instead of injecting the fuel into the air mixture before entering each cylinder, fuel is injected directly into the chamber. With the natural turbulence of the air and fewer wasted droplets, more engines produce a more efficient burn. Coupled with active cylinder de-activation in cruising and deceleration driving, Montpellier vehicles drink little and give a lot.

What does this twist on traditional technology mean for you? Huge savings and fewer fill-ups. How many other companies have 650 horsepower V12 engines with over 20mpg on a combined cycle? None.

How does it work? Simple: originally developed for electric and hybrid vehicles, regenerative braking recharges a car's batteries with the otherwise wasted kinetic energy from everyday braking scenarios. Each time you tap on the brake or come to a stop, the energy in harnessed and sent to the battery. This also has an added secondary benefit. Ever have a battery run flat in the winter or because you left the lights on? With a little forward momentum and a sudden push of the brake, the surge in electricity can jump-start the engine. No jumper cables required.

The graphene nanomaterials used in vehicle construction generate an electrical charge as the vehicle moves due to air friction. Large parts of the car body, such as the roof, bonnet, and trunk lid, are made of graphene. The electrical charge is channelled to the battery, recharging it as the vehicle moves forward. For electric and hydrogen cars, this means up to 130km of extra driving range.

Image
How graphene body panels can aid hydrogen/electric vehicle range.


And what is this Wind-Cell technology? The physics are simple. As a vehicle travels forward, air moves over, under, and around the vehicle. Mounted underneath each car, air is channelled to two small electric generating fans, like tiny windmills. These spin furiously as the vehicle drives forward and forces air down the conduits, taking full advantage of the venturi effect and generating electricity to charge car batteries.

No alternator is needed on fossil-fuel cars and our electric and hydrogen vehicles can take advantage of an extended driving range. Now that's smart.

Each gas and diesel powered car is equipped with a strong charcoal-based air filter and catalytic converter. Airflow is maintained and no performance is lost in the pursuit of fewer emissions. Emissions and unburnt fuel are effectively absorbed by the charcoal at a rate that makes hybrids seem polluting. Air from the tailpipe is often purer and fresher than the air going into the car – how's that for clean?



Alternative Fuel Options
Biofuels
Many markets have the option biofuel mixes. All gasoline powered engines are have been tested to run on up to E100 ethanol and all diesels up B100 bio-diesel. Gasoline engines have also been verified to run on hydrogen slush mixtures.

Hydrogen
Few car companies offer pure hydrogen variants of their models. Montpellier is an exception, offering this as an alternative fuel. Available in markets where hydrogen refuelling stations exist, the technology uses the osmosis method of electricity generation to power batteries and motors.

Range-extended hybrids Cars
Montpellier ER hybrid cars have strong batteries and small gasoline engines to improve range. Kicking in only under high-drain driving, we've mitigated range anxiety while maintaining efficiency. Each electrical car comes with an in-home car charging station and emergency 100-240v plug. An 85% charge can be achieved in 45 minutes with full-charges taking 3 hours. Home power/electric capacity must be tested before station installation.[/quote]

That authentic Montpellier feel is created through the skills of our craftspeople in Montpellier. We use the highest quality wood veneers, leather hides and solid stainless steel bright ware, yet we start where others stop. Wriggle your feet into the deeper pile carpets, which we specially created to offer an unparalleled level of comfort. To bring out a richer leather smell, we reverted to a traditional tanning process. We are still even using ancient cabinet-making techniques—our cross-banding is still cut by hand and we are the only car maker to use ‘mirror matching’ when applying veneer.

Montpellier SENTINEL F-segment/Luxury car/Full-size luxury car


Image


Overview
Large, fast, refined and comfortable. These concepts resonate deeply at Montpellier and has, over time, created a legacy that embodies all of these characteristics: record-breaking feats, daring exploits and a host of exquisitely crafted and beautifully engineered cars. We go to extraordinary lengths to produce the special driving experience offered by the Sentinel. When it comes to making you feel at ease, the Sentinel has few rivals – which is not about to change.

Exterior
The entire body embodies modernity while embracing the cues of its predecessors. It appears to be solid, as if sculpted from a single block, yet simultaneously graceful and elegant. Solid yet sleek. Classic yet modern. The design is made to accommodate customised materials, not to reduce their usage. For example, ultra-lightweight composite and nano-materials, including YellowApple Inc. Graphene ®, ensure better performance and efficiency yet allow Montpellier craftspeople and artists new freedom in automotive form.

By taking these extra steps, Montpellier craftspeople can create a sleek work of art that further accentuates those classic Montpellier proportions: Sweeping yet authoritative lines flow gracefully, hinting at capability in reserve. Mirror finished bright wares artfully mixed with solid and strong lines – let the long roofline and chrome accented grill entice your senses.

Interior
The Sentinel also retains classic Montpellier heritage and styling cues and mixes them with the latest in 21st-century craftsmanship. But don’t be deceived by this understated classic look. Beneath the surface you’ll find the best technology available, from advanced electronic systems to four-zone air conditioning and state-of-the-art soundproofing. Music enthusiasts will love our latest premium audio system, designed for the Montpellier Sentinel by YellowApple Inc., a company renowned for its technological prowess.

We encourage you to relish the sensuous refinement and comfort of the Montpellier Sentinel. Look for the familiar, but be prepared to be surprised with new innovations. It’s all there to help you enjoy the definitive Montpellier experience.

Technology
There are even two SD memory card slots and, in available markets, a telephone SIM card slot.

The Sentinel’s standard audio system comes with 12 speakers powered through six channels, digital sound processing and full MP3 player compatibility. Music enthusiasts looking for the ultimate in-car audio, however, will opt for our exclusive YellowApple AppleBeat® for Montpellier premium audio system. This renowned company has collaborated with Montpellier to create sound systems that are like a “mobile concert hall,” as one journalist described. Featuring 20 channels, allowing individual control of the 20 custom-made speakers, with eight distinctive DSP modes and an Active Audio Enhancement function, it can fill the interior with up to 2200 watts of rich sound.

All the Sentinel's infotainment systems are controlled via a high-resolution 8” screen that is completely concealed behind a beautifully veneered panel when not in use. There is even a unique, leather-lined storage draw designed specifically for holding your audio device.

Performance
Anyone who has experienced the effortless acceleration that arrives regardless of engine speed or gear selection will know just how astonishing the effect can be. With those objectives in mind, the Sentinel’s engineers considered a variety of engine configurations, finding the best performance-oriented choices Montpellier has to offer. Every major component is designed for even better engine response - enjoy the amazing thrust of the upgraded engines.

To achieve a significant reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions plus improved refinement and torque, the Sentinel’s petrol engines see the introduction of two new control systems: Cam Phasing and Variable Displacement. Variable Displacement imperceptibly powers down four cylinders when cruising with a light load. The moment you press your foot down, however, it seamlessly brings all cylinders back into play.

In tune with Montpellier's pride in its alternative engine choices, the Sentinel is no outsider. With the available range-extended electric and hydrogen drivetrains, enjoy one of the few eco-oriented luxury experiences. Environmentally friendly doesn't mean dull – the Sentinel's high powered choices are a testament to the trappings of modern technology.

Montpellier SOVEREIGN Limousine


Image


Overview
Sovereign owners have made a choice to enjoy a style of motoring that is a rarely offered today. It’s a choice that opens the doors to a world of exclusivity and personalisation that is unique in motoring. In a Sovereign, you will experience things that have become lost to some carmakers: a world of unparalleled craftsmanship and refinement; a world of ever increasing choice and comfort as you create a personalized expression of achievement with a ‘limousine’ feel.

You will benefit from a level of choice and specification that is simply unheard of; from exquisite mirror-matched wood veneers that encircle the car’s cabin through to magnificent leather hides and signature brightware that adorn the interior and exterior of every Sovereign we create. And perhaps, more than anything, you will come to understand that uniquely ‘Montpellier’ phenomenon, which is simply the knowledge that you own a car that asks you to make no compromises and presents a beguiling proposition in return: to undertake an unforgettable journey in a sumptuous and spacious limousine with a powerful heart and soul.

That is the Montpellier Sovereign. Welcome to our world.

Exterior
Designed to exude power, presence, and sheer importance, the Sovereign is nothing less than the epitome of a luxury limousine. It's sharp, contrasting angles create a vehicle with substance and form, yet retain the flow and elegance expected of such a vehicle. The design is made to accommodate customised materials, not to reduce their usage. For example, ultra-lightweight composite and nano-materials, including YellowApple Inc. Graphene ®, ensure better performance and efficiency yet allow Montpellier craftspeople and artists new freedom in automotive form.

It won’t take more than a single glance for the Sovereign to mesmerize you. Looking at it head on you’ll notice the solid lines and imposing radiator grille, as if forged from a single block of metal. The headlamp design with Active Bi-Xenon headlamps and LED design ensures an unmistakable appearance, whether it’s day or night. Bask in the natural lighting provided by the optional stunning full-length panoramic glass roof, sure to turn heads. The body-length stainless steel bright-ware creates an unmistakable impact, exuding presence and authority.

Interior
Our interior designers have skilfully evolved the car’s cabin to produce a spacious, luxurious, and comfortable environment. Incredible attention to detail has gone into making the cabin as quiet and refined as possible. Enjoy many of the comforts afforded to those in fine lounges and homes. From hidden champagne coolers and glass holders to remotely operated screens for entertainment or work, the number of options and devices at your finger tips leaves nothing to be desired. From the panoramic roof with a crystalline dimming feature to the quality woods and richest leathers Montpellier can provide, the Sovereign is nothing less than sumptuous refinement.

A solid ‘ring of wood’ encases the entire cabin, drawing the occupants into unparalleled surroundings, while all-new glass-like switchgear is inspired by the classic Montpellier interiors of yesteryear. Montpellier craftspeople work long and hard on every last detail; the stitching of the seats alone takes a day. We won’t ask you to wait quite that long while we create your bespoke Sovereign but it’s fair to say that we work in a manner that ensures every inch of leather or strip of wood that we put into your car has been crafted to perfection. Natural wood veneers are an essential part of the character of the Montpellier marque, and our expertise in this area makes us unique. Wood is the foundation of an Montpellier tradition and many of the techniques used today have developed over nearly 60 years of production. Our mirror-matched veneers are renowned the world over, for this difficult and exacting process involves placing successive veneer leaves end to end to make a perfect, symmetrical pattern across the entire car.

Everywhere you look in the cabin you’ll discover small finesses that signal a more refined approach. Many of these are details that let you personalise the car as well. For instance, you can choose from any combination of contrast stitching and seat piping, emblem stitching and more. Montpellier is always is on hand to fulfill your wishes.

Technology
There are even two SD memory card slots and, in available markets, a telephone SIM card slot.

The Sovereign’s standard audio system comes with 16 speakers powered through six channels, digital sound processing and full MP3 player compatibility. Music enthusiasts looking for the ultimate in-car audio, however, will opt for our exclusive YellowApple AppleBeat® for Montpellier premium audio system. This renowned company has collaborated with Montpellier to create sound systems that are like a “mobile concert hall,” as one journalist described. Featuring 20 channels, allowing individual control of the 20 custom-made speakers, with eight distinctive DSP modes and an Active Audio Enhancement function, it can fill the interior with up to 2200 watts of rich sound.

All the Sovereign's infotainment systems are controlled via a high-resolution 8” screen that is completely concealed behind a beautifully veneered panel when not in use. There is even a unique, leather-lined storage draw designed specifically for holding your audio device. Rear seat occupants will enjoy the large 25"LED screen with TV and electronic device input. Stowing away neatly when not in use, those lucky enough to be passengers will no doubt take advantage of the entertainment and productivity opportunities the Sovereign provides.

Engineering
So when creating the all-new Montpellier Sovereign, our engineers were presented with a unique opportunity: To design an all-new powertrain that would deliver the effortless performance expected of a grand Montpellier, whilst retaining huge amounts of power in reserve.

While other powertrain configurations were considered by the Sovereign engineers early on in the project, it became clear that the massive torque trademark of every grand Montpellier could be best achieved with a special-tuning of our V12 engine, hybrid-electric drivetrain, and all new hydrogen system. And though the base configuration is similar to the engineering design classic first built in Montpellier fifty years ago, the Sovereign has been completely redesigned to integrate the latest technologies.

The result? A remarkable improvement on our existing systems and a new hydrogen option. All the major building blocks of the engines are new and have been designed to optimise performance. They also contribute towards meeting three key objectives: maximising torque, refinement and efficiency. Nowhere is this better demonstrated than in the introduction of two new electro-mechanical control systems for the V12 engine: cam phasing and variable displacement. The pioneering use of these two technologies in combination allows the Sovereign’s engine management system not only to actively adjust the V12’s breathing, but to effectively throttle back six of the cylinders entirely, independently of the others, when not required.

This ability to finely control the engine’s fuel-air intake and timing allows for the maximum availability of huge amounts of torque. At the same time, it ensures that the engine operates in as economical and refined a manner as possible when more relaxed motoring is the order of the day. Variable displacement also has a significant effect on the new engine’s fuel consumption thanks to its ability to idle six of the twelve cylinders when cruising. This, in conjunction with the new eight-speed automatic transmission with quick-shift, reduces CO2 emissions and offers a potential 15 per cent saving in fuel.

Of course, those who select the hydrogen and hybrid drivetrains need not worry about emissions and fuel consumption of the V12. Further refined for a vehicle of the Sovereign's status, drivers can enjoy the smooth and confident motion generated by these two drivetrains. That's what Montpellier prides itself in: an experience that is never short of extraordinary.

Craftsmanship
Perched in the long shadow of Mount Montpellier, the eponymous city overlooks lower hills and is surrounded by stunning mountain roads and scenery.

Behind the historic red brick buildings of the original Montpellier factory lies an 50-acre site that uniquely combines traditional craftsmanship with the very latest manufacturing technology. Here, more than 25,000 skilled individuals are busy at work crafting cars for some of the world’s most discerning individuals. Engineers, craftsmen and industrial designers work together in a unique and seamless way that is remarkable in today’s automotive industry.

Behind every stitch lies generations of knowledge and skill. It takes more than a month to build a Montpellier Sovereign, rare in a mass-produced world where most cars take nothing more than a few days. One of the secrets to this process is having an intimate knowledge of the materials’ properties and using them in the best possible way – something not always possible in mass production. So our cars are designed from the start with materials in mind – leather, wood, metal, composites and more.

The Montpellier Sovereign is a brilliant celebration of this ongoing quest for quality and craftsmanship, with Montpellier representing the centre of excellence. Here, some local families are now on to their third generation of service, with one in four people having been at Montpellier for more than 20 years. Each of these individuals is not just passing down their knowledge of timeless skills, but a fierce sense of pride in their work. As a result, Montpellier people are able to stay true to the soul of the brand, despite the complexity – from idea to final car. That is why “Made in Montpellier” truly does stand for unparalleled quality and attention to detail.
