Land Rover shows off Electric Technology with Three New Concepts
MANILA: The latest development in terms of electric and hybrid technologies is going on in Jaguar-Land Rover hut, is unveiled through three new concepts in form of Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Evoque, and rolling chassis. These three give us a glimpse of coming electric future.
The cars have been in development for past two years with an try on different battery-based options. JLR claims that the batteries in question are capable and powerful of generating twice as much torque as any in production today and are also designed in such a way that they can be integrated with any engine and transmission combination to create plug-in hybrid or mild hybrid, or own battery-powered electric vehicle.
The first car is called as the Concept e MHEV which means mild hybrid vehicle. It is based on a Range Rover Evoque and pair a prototype 89 hp diesel engine along with 48 V lithium ion battery pack. The second is a PHEV concept which means plug-in hybrid. This Range Rover Sport based model receives the same set up to that of a mild hybrid but gains a much larger battery and 269 hp petrol engine. The battery is a 320 V lithium ion unit which would use the eight-speed automatic gearbox and four-wheel drivetrain system to deliver 150 kw to wheels.
The final concept is all-new and based on JLR's new aluminum platform. It's 70 kWh lithium ion battery powers a 85 kW electric motor on front axle and 145 kW on rear axle. Further, known that total of 12 partners worked on Evoque E project where key finding was new modular design for an electric motor which was designed and developed in-house.
“Environmental Innovation is at the heart of our business. We have a wide-ranging low emissions technology strategy, which has created innovations like our Ingenium engine family and lighter vehicles. Technologies like these have already helped us reduce our fleet CO2 average by 25 per cent in recent years.” said Dr. Epple, Jaguar-Land Rover Director for Research and Technology.
