Sentences with phrase «electric propulsion providing»

As the powertrain already produces a combined 1500hp and with electric propulsion providing instant torque from the Direct Drive system, we did not have to go as extreme on ICE power.

Not exact matches

Orders are being taken now for delivery in six months, and plans are already underway for a hybrid variant with a 150 - horse electric motor driving the front wheels, providing a total horsepower of 889 and short - range electric - only propulsion for city centers.

«The battery system is designed to provide power assistance to the internal combustion engine, rather than store energy for all - electric propulsion,» said Poulos.

The hybrid propulsion system (V6 1.6 turbo gasoline engine, two electric engines driving the front axle, another one driving the rear axle — MGU - K, and one more, called MGU - H, virtually driving the turbocharger electrically so no need to rely on excess exhaust gases as until now) from Formula 1 provide a fascinating combination of performance and efficiency.

When cruising at medium to high speeds, the high - efficiency Atkinson - cycle i - VTEC gasoline engine provides propulsion via a high capacity lock - up clutch, which connects the generator motor (always linked to the engine) and the electric drive motor, effectively sending motive power directly from the engine to the drive wheels.

In this type mode, the system works as a parallel hybrid in which both the gasoline engine and, when required — for example, upon quick acceleration — the electric propulsion motor, both provide power to the wheels.

The electric propulsion motor alone powers the front wheels, while the gasoline engine (decoupled from the drive wheels) powers the electric motor / generator motor, which in turn provides power to charge the 1.3 kilowatt - hour lithium - ion battery pack.

When starting off, the system is in electric mode in which the electric motor provides the propulsion in first gear.

It leverages drive system components and software from the plug - in Chevrolet Volt to provide all - electric propulsion in some driving scenarios, along with power to assist the gas engine.

Apart from the first all - electric R8, propulsion is once again likely to be provided by a naturally aspirated 4.2 - litre V8, albeit with power reportedly ramped up from 316kW to 331kW.

E-power provides zero - emission propulsion in front - wheel drive all - electric mode for up to 19.9 miles.

Engine choices include a normally aspirated V6, a turbocharged V6 in two states of tune, a turbocharged V8, and a plug - in hybrid drivetrain providing limited electric - only range before reverting to traditional gas - electric propulsion.

When cruising at medium to high speeds, the high - efficiency Atkinson - cycle i - VTEC gasoline engine provides propulsion via a new higher capacity lock - up clutch, which connects the generator motor (always linked to the engine) and the electric drive motor, effectively sending motive power directly from the engine to the drive wheels.

The electric propulsion motor alone powers the front wheels, as the gasoline engine (decoupled from the drive wheels) powers the electric - generator motor, which in turn provides power to the battery pack.

That's because the Volt also can rely on an electric propulsion system capable of providing up to 38 miles of all - electric travel, matched by a combined efficiency rating of 98 MPGe.

In certain driving situations, the gas engine can also provide propulsion to the vehicle's front wheels as an assist to the electric motor.

In this type of operation the system works as a «parallel hybrid» where both the gasoline engine and, when required — for instance upon quick acceleration — the electric propulsion motor, both provide power to the wheels.

Detailed energy management for each component, as controlled by the Power Control Unit (PCU), enables this system to make the best use of both the electric propulsion motor and the gasoline engine to seamlessly provide smooth and responsive performance and to garner top EPA fuel economy ratings in the midsize hybrid sedan class.

It is thus still working all - electrically, albeit with the engine turning the generator to provide on - board electric propulsion energy.
