The flat torque curve ensures enormous pulling power in all speed ranges: 670 N·m are already available at 1500 rpm, and the maximum torque of 800 N·m is delivered 500 rpm later, remaining constant to 4500 rpm. The 100 km/h mark is reached in 4.4 This reduces the load on the engine and makes for fuel savings of around 0.15

The low voltage approach compared with full hybrid and EV nominal voltages, which are typically in the range of 300 to 600V, avoids the need for high cost safety features and large battery packs. Moreover, compared with other electrical machines they have a high efficiency across a large speed range, good controllability, and reliability.

Cobra could enable a 5–10% reduction in CO 2 emissions when implemented in conjunction with engine downsizing and down speeding strategies, and potentially more when used in conjunction with alternative fuels, according to CPT. Switched reluctance motors without the integrated electronics are already deployed extensively in other industries.

Further work revealed that, because of the enhanced flammability range of hydrogen, only 25-50% of the fuel needed to be reformed to obtain the efficiency benefits of highly dilute engine operation. Because exhaust-driven reforming uses only waste engine heat, it avoids this efficiency hit, the authors note.
