Zytek won the award for Most Economical & Environmentally Friendly Multi-Purpose electric vehicle with a 7-seat electric Mercedes Vito taxi ( earlier post ) in the first RAC Brighton to London Future Car Challenge. We not only finished with range to spare but won our class so we have a lot to celebrate.
city car concept, shown at the Tokyo motorshow, is powered by an electric drive system from Zytek that employs a range of new design approaches to minimize the cost, weight and size of the powertrain while maximizing the performance and range. —Steve Tremble, Zytek sales and marketing director. Yamaha’s new MOTIV.e
UK-based clean vehicle technology specialist Zytek has won a £1.35-million Zytek will invest a further £3.65 As well as employing new staff, Zytek will step-up its training for existing personnel. Zytek Automotive has designed and integrated electric drive systems for a wide range of European and US vehicle manufacturers.

UK-based Zytek Automotive is developing a third-generation electric vehicle powertrain. Zytek Automotive managing director Neil Heslington. Click to enlarge. Click to enlarge.
27 electric vehicle program, Zytek released more details regarding the electric drivetrain developed for use in this lightweight vehicle. The program took only 17 months, including the design and build of a completely new electric powertrain by Zytek Automotive Ltd, one of the consortium partners. 27 was a £9-million (US$14.4
Zytek’s integrated E-Drive unit. A range of electric delivery vehicles being developed for the North, Central and South American markets will use a highly integrated 70 kW powertrain from UK specialist Zytek. tonnes) and the latest lithium-ion batteries will provide a range exceeding 100 miles.

Zytek has unveiled a fully engineered, electric version of the Mercedes A-Class that it developed in just ten weeks. Designed to demonstrate the capability of the company’s production-ready 55kW E-Drive electric powertrain, the five-seat electric family car project is a Zytek in-house activity and is entirely independent of Mercedes-Benz.
By working closely with Zytek and Radshape, who already have considerable expertise in this field, we aim to make this a realistic concept that could lead to further developments if demand and other factors prove favorable. Keeping the motor in its sweet spot will help it use energy more efficiently, which will increase the vehicle’s range.
Other members of the Evoque_E consortium are Jaguar Land Rover, AVL, GKN Driveline, Tata Steel, Williams Advanced Engineering, Delta Motorsport, Motor Design Ltd and Zytek, supported by Bristol, Cranfield and Newcastle universities. Electric (Battery) Motors Transmissions'
The three major elements of the third-generation Zytek EV powertrain are the inverter and powertrain related electronics (top), the transmission (middle) and the air-cooled motor (right). 27 is being developed by a consortium led by Gordon Murray, with Zytek Automotive Limited. The vehicle has a range of 80-100 miles.
The red region shows the most efficient speed range for a traction motor. By keeping the motor operating in, or close to, this region, the new multi-speed transmission developed by Vocis could increase the range of electric vehicles with very little impact. And both will benefit from the significant improvement in range.
However, it has also been active over the last 20 years in the Electric Drivelines Assemblies Product Line, ranging from the very first golf/utility transaxle to the latest transfer case developed for the light commercial electric vehicle, and including the latest applications of the battery electric city cars.
Elektromotive has taken delivery of its own fully electric smart and, over the next 4 years, will report back on the car’s battery performance, reliability and range. The smart electric drive has been developed in conjunction with Zytek Group, and is exempt from Vehicle Exercise Duty and London Congestion Charge. Click to enlarge.
The conference will conclude with a comparison of range extended electric vehicles to other low carbon powertrain architectures. As the leader of work streams associated with APU design and waste energy recovery and storage, Ricardo has been responsible for the coordination and hosting of this project dissemination conference.
The partners include Zytek Automotive, GKN Driveline, Motor Design Limited, AVL, Drive System Design, Williams Advanced Engineering, Delta Motorsport, Tata Steel, Bristol University, Cranfield University and Newcastle University. Jaguar Land Rover will contribute £4 million (US$6.3
The Mild Hybrid is based on a Range Rover Evoque donor vehicle and features a prototype diesel engine (90 PS) and a 48V electrical system. The Plug-In Hybrid employs a similar architecture to the MHEV but with a prototype gasoline engine (300 PS) and 8-speed transmission longitudinally mounted within a Range Rover Sport donor vehicle.
The LCVTP involves seven industry and research partners: Jaguar Land Rover, Tata Motors, Zytek, Ricardo, MIRA, WMG (formerly Warwick Manufacturing Group) at the University of Warwick and Coventry University. More details of the £29-million (US$44.7-million) million (US$64 million).
Evoque_E took a pragmatic look at how new transmission and motor technologies could be implemented to increase the range, performance and refinement of electric vehicles. Single-speed drives require the motors to have a high speed range in order to allow low-speed maneuvering as well as high-speed highway cruising.
It is powered by a third generation Zytek powertrain with a 25kW motor and a 12kWh lithium-ion battery pack. With a range of 80-100 [.]. 27 City Car UK Technology Strategy Board ZytekZytek Automotive Limited. 25 City Car T.27
The huge push state side to embrace green cars may adopt a distinctly British influence when Zytek, a specialist in electric vehicle drivetrains, provides its advanced technology for a new US Government-backed electric commercial vehicle programme.
Competitors drove a range of the latest electric, plug-in hybrid and low emission combustion cars supplied by the likes of Peugeot, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Zytek and Delta in a series of challenges to establish the UK’s [.].
Featuring a lithium-ion battery the second generation smart electric drive’s power source will have a longer range, boast a shorter charging time and will give improved performance. All this is made possible by a powerful 30kW electric motor which is built for us by Zytek Automotive. The smart ed has its own charger on board.
Merc wants the electric smart to perform badly, to have a short range and little power, so that it dosent eat up other products in the lineup. It is probably possible to make a 20k electric smart that outperforms most other cars on the road in everything except range and top speed. For this to happen there has to be a detuning process.
