GKN Driveline has developed a new, complete electric drive system for plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs). GKN has been advancing the development of eAxle technology since 2002 and has produced more than 300,000 units at its manufacturing facilities in Europe and Japan. —GKN Driveline Chief Executive Phil Swash.

The first application is the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer PHEV. When hybrid operation is not required, the e-machine can be disconnected from the driveline by an integrated disconnect device, which uses an electromechanically actuated dog clutch. GKN launched its first eAxle applications in 2002. Earlier post.).

GKN Driveline has developed an eAxle module—derived from the technology used in cars such as the Porsche 918 Spyder and BMW i8—that will enable C-segment vehicles to offer buyers a plug-in hybrid option with improved performance and a reduction in CO2 emissions of more than 50%.

The Think City was short-lived in the States with production halting in 2002 after just 1005 cars had been assembled. Today we could be using lead-acid EVs, lead-carbon-acid EVs, or nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion hybrids. Glad to see the variety & availability of electic commuter cars (vs hybrids & PHEV) is rising.
