ZF presents new electric 2-speed drive for passenger cars

Green Car Congress

The improvement in energy conversion efficiency compared to previous e-drives extends the driving range for each battery charge. Every percent of improvement in energy conversion efficiency translates into two percent more range. The compact design also makes this new drive system of interest for passenger cars in the compact class.

Continental presents 48V full-hybrid system; motor delivers up to 30 kW

Green Car Congress

In the run-up to IAA 2019, Continental Powertrain is now presenting a 48-volt high-power drive system with 30 kW, enabling a full-hybrid vehicle. Instead, it is the conversion of electrically stored energy into traction in general. Conventional full-hybrid vehicle would normally use high voltage technology.
