MAHLE Powertrain and White Motorcycle Concepts developing fully electric 3-wheeled motorcycle for police, emergency first responders

Green Car Congress

Because emergency services require high levels of availability and have an unpredictable demand, retail electric motorcycles are unlikely to present a cost-effective solution. A follow-up project to develop the prototype units is planned, ultimately leading to small series production.

This common core also provides greater confidence in the robustness of prototypes, while minimizing the cost of variants further supports the development of 48V systems. SR machines are ideally suited to this concept of low cost development, while reducing the cost of production components.

JUNE 22, 2013

The new engine will achieve high efficiency using the Atkinson Cycle with an 18:1 compression ratio, combined with aggressive engine downsizing. Engine downsizing is a key tool in improving fuel economy. When loads on the engine are low the compression ratio can be raised to as much as 18:1, Envera said.

In a news conference at the Japan National Press Club on Friday, Toyota Motor President Akio Toyoda said that the company plans to begin mass production of electric vehicles in the US in 2012, followed by US production of fuel cell vehicles in 2015. The company is working to develop a low-cost CFRP for a high-pressure hydrogen tank.

It is the first time that Hyundai has presented a dual-clutch transmission with seven gears, combining the benefits of both automatic and manual transmissions. The i40 48V Hybrid reduces CO 2 emissions and fuel consumption significantly compared to the standard production model, yet only costs a quarter of a full hybrid solution to build.

At present, PHEV technology alone is equipped to improve the current electric grid. The car can refuel during periods of low demand on the grid, and if equipped with a bi-directional charger, can actually replenish the grid with excess energy gleaned from a renewable resource. Engineering Advantages of the PHEV.

Charged : So, you are looking at next-gen battery chemistries that others wouldn’t typically consider to be ready for production? Essentially, our approach here is to try and take technologies that might be five or ten years away from production and pull them forward and use them today. Steven Kaye: That’s correct.

To fulfil these requirements current production injectors use piezoelectric actuation in conjunction with an outwardly opening valve. Both Multec types of injectors feature best-in-class NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness), which is important because it saves the vehicle manufacturer the cost and weight of additional noise reduction materials.
