These are capable of producing twice the power and torque of any electric motor-generator currently in production, JLR said, and can be inserted between any engine and transmission to create MHEV or PHEV, or used alone for a BEV. The motor-generator is powered by an advanced 48-volt electrical system and 48-volt lithium ion battery pack.
The multi-speed MSYS transmission allows the traction motor to be smaller and more efficient by running it in a more power-efficient regime. This field weakening requires additional power and larger inefficient power electronics, the company says. This requires the motors to run at high speeds.
