Also, some of the energy used to overcome inertia and accelerate the vehicle — normally lost when the vehicle is slowed, to aerodynamic forces and rolling resistance as well to the mechanical brakes (as heat)-- may be recaptured as electrical energy if regenerative braking is available (see the discussion of
hybrid electric drive trains).
Powered by the
latest electric drive train technology from Mahindra Electric, a high - torque electric motor and a direct drive transmission, the eSupro can effortlessly cruise through city traffic.
The full electric sedan e-Vertio will be available in three trims similar to the diesel variant -: D2, D4 and D6.The e-Vertio is powered by the latest
electric drive train from Mahindra Reva and it is a 100 % zero emission, green vehicle.
That is why we are designing our production system so that we can build models with a fully or
partially electric drive train or combustion engine on the same assembly line.»
When models are available, dealerships tend not to push them, partly out of inertia and ignorance of their characteristics, and partly out of fears that more -
reliable electric drive trains will cut into service revenues.
(I had already ruled out the RAV4 electric due to its $ 50,000 price tag though it can go 100 miles on a charge thanks to its
Tesla electric drive train.)
As Rafael has posted, the use of power electronic is unavoidable for high efficiency and longevity
of electric drive train.
It was then that I began to appreciate electric drive with the Lockheed Martin
hybrid electric drive trains that went into the buses in Manhattan.
The new design features no direct mechanical link between the gas - powered engine and
the electric drive train.
For a mechanic to work on a hybrid electric car, he must understand not only the combustion engine, but also
the electric drive train and the interfaces between the two drive systems.
Their chassis architecture was built from ground up to house
an electric drive train.
Electric drive trains will evolve to take better advantage of high efficiency e-motors, to improve driving conditions and capture more braking / deceleration energy.
With
the electric drive train becoming cheaper and more versatile, the machines they power also start to vary in shapes.
The fifth generation of
electric drive train and battery technology, available from 2021, uses scalable, modular electrification kits that will allow all model series to be fitted with every type of drive train.
I firmly believe that
the electric drive train is also a strong part of the future for BMW Motorrad.
R85 —
electric drive trains — measurement of the net power and the maximum 30 minutes power of electric drive trains
Anyway, with Tesla accelerating its SuperChargers network, covering all my southern Europe vacation routes and destinations by the end of 2015, I'm not sure there will still be a room for PHEVs in 1 year from now... So German makers continuing not to launch any good PHEV SUV is not a problem any more for me (I mean with
an all electric drive train, strong Dual Motors > 200HP, pulling tons of things, adding a 30 - 40KWH battery, and a non-tracting Range Extender).
Like BMW's ActiveE, a battery - powered 1 Series coupe prototype, the A3 e-tron combines the high - end handling of German - engineered sports sedan with the typically zippy acceleration — and silence — of
an electric drive train.
Its combined 203 hp gasoline and
electric drive train can accelerated the car from 0 - 60 mph in about 7.5 seconds.
Brammo shifts gears Electric motorcycle maker now focusing on lithium batteries and electric drive trains
The horizontally split construction consisting of two self - contained elements intrinsically focuses on the technical requirements of
the electric drive train, and helps to produce a design concept, sense of spaciousness and driving experience that are unique to BMW i cars.
Together they are proving that contemporary technology can create a car with triple - digit fuel efficiency and a far greater travel range than vehicles powered exclusively by
an electric drive train.
One has no radiator or engine block but does have batteries and
the electric drive train.
Among the biggest advantages of
the electric drive train is diversification of the power source, you can then use the electric grid, a very efficient ICE that only runs at a specific RPM and load to run a generator for additional range, a hydrogen or methanol fuel cell, or a Mr. Fusion, it really doesn't matter.
GM is building an experience base with
an electric drive train.
