An Electric drive by a 4 electric wheel motors, with auxiliary power unit to provide REEV capability
The company, which already surprised the world with its ‘$2500' Nano, on Tuesday unveiled this concept electric driven car, which is a four-seater global range extended electric vehicle (REEV), meant for city driving. Which is actually a upgradation to pixel which came with a two door introduced last year.
It works with both a lithium ion phosphate battery and an on-board petrol engine generator for recharging on the move & mileage of 100 km/litre under a combined driving mode. Petrol tank ranges of up to 900 km/ A path-breaking CO2 emissions of just 22 g/km is an another important thing to be noted. Can be easily charged at home with an innovative inductive charging system provided by the company. The car can be simply to be parked over the induction pad for charging to begin.
The car’s electric drive has four independent electric motors, one at each wheel. When parking, the electric hub motors drive the wheels in opposite directions, while the front wheels are turned at an acute angle, enabling an exceptional 2.8 metre turning radius. Something to be noticed at the end.
The battery layout and hub motors maximize the front portion. Hence offering a comfort seating room for the passengers, which wipes of our fears for spacing in the concept car. This new innovation is likely to be commercially launched in the coming three years from now.
This concept car has really a breakthrough for the company to compete with other car manufacturers globally.
