CarbonFiber or Lightweight Materials. VTO is seeking projects that address the major challenges to developing and commercializing carbonfiber composites for lightweight structures. Most critical is the cost of the carbonfiber. The cost to manufacture the carbonfiber is high.
The team of engineers and designers utilized the automotive industry’s reductive design approach to create the light-weight interior cabin, which is made of forged carbonfiber. —Jaiwon Shin. Ergonomically contoured seats offer a cocoon-like environment for passengers.
The XL1 is aggressively optimized for efficiency in all areas of its design and technology—from materials (carbonfiber reinforced polymer monocoque); to powertrain (0.8L kWh lithium-ion battery—integrated in the front section of the XL1—supplies the electric motor with 220 volts of electrical energy.
Nicknamed “fuzzy fiber” by its inventor at UDRI, Nano Adaptive Hybrid Fabric (NAHF-XTM) is the first tailored nanomaterial capable of being produced in sizes and quantities large enough to make them affordable and viable for large-scale commercial use. But in doing so, electrical and thermal conductivity inherent to metals is lost.
gasoline-powered range extender. Composite body with carbonfiber. kW power export that allows tools to be plugged directly into the batterypower source without the truck running. Preliminary specifications announced today include: 75 MPGe fuel efficiency in all-electric operation. 0-60 miles per hour in 5.5
The Qoros Model K-EV will feature an individually powered, high-performance, all-wheel drive system, utilizing the same high performance electric drive-line technology also found in Koenigsegg’s Regera , the limited production plug-in hybrid supercar designed by the Swedish supercar manufacturer.
The passenger compartment consists of carbonfiber-reinforced plastic, while aluminum is used in the front, rear and room frame. Low weight is essential for an electric vehicle because more weight requires more batterypower for the same range and thus causes higher costs. Body and safety.
If needed, the on-board gasoline generator will then operate after batterypower has been depleted, extending the range. To reduce weight, the W-15’s body panels are made of a carbonfiber composite which also have the benefit of being rustproof.
The upcoming FOA may include the following areas of interest (AOI): Advanced Technology Battery Cell Development. Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) Development of Low Cost CarbonFiber for Lightweight Vehicles. Traction drive systems should be demonstrated as meeting these targets through dynamometer testing.
VTO focuses on a mix of near- and long-term vehicle technologies including advanced batteries, power electronics and electric motors, lightweight and propulsion materials, advanced combustion engines, advanced fuels and lubricants, and other enabling technologies. Broadly, VTO program activities are focused on achieving: Saving 1.4
Like the race engine of the RS Spyder, the 918 Spyder power unit features dry-sump lubrication with a separate oil tank and oil extraction. To save weight, components such as the oil tank, the air filter box integrated into the subframe and the air induction are made of carbonfiber reinforced polymer.
kWh lithium-ion battery pack (from the Jetta Hybrid), which stores the kinetic energy recovered from regenerative braking; assists in the starting phase of the fuel cell; and adds a dynamic boost to the maximum acceleration of the Golf SportWagen. The fuel cell and batterypower an electric motor adapted from the e-Golf.
F-CELL drivers will also benefit from a battery-powered range of up to 49 km (30.5 kWh (net) lithium-ion battery (13.8 kW on-board chargers, it can be conveniently charged from a standard household power socket, a wallbox or a public charging station. miles) in the NEDC. miles) from the 9.3 kWh gross).
TREV is a range extender system that uses a micro-turbine (fueled either by liquid or gaseous fuels) to generate electricity that charges a battery pack. The batterypowers the motors that drive the wheels. Performance specs for the TREV include peak power of 768 kW (1,030 bhp), with a projected 0 - 100 km/h time of 2.5
Dissimilar metal joint systems are limited to aluminum, steel, magnesium, and carbonfiber composites. The January 2016 FOA thus may include the following Areas of Interest, covering that spectrum of interests: EV Everywhere Plug-in Electric Vehicle (PEV) and Infrastructure Showcases.
Both the front and rear axles have no mechanical connections for the transmission of power. On batterypower, the Audi A7 Sportback h-tron quattro covers as much as 50 kilometers (31.1 An outer skin made from carbonfiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) encases the inner aluminum shell.
Electron is the only rocket in the world to successfully reach orbit with structures built almost entirely out of carbonfiber composites. It’s also the only orbital-class rocket in the world that uses engines with battery-powered pumps. Rocket Lab’s workhorse rocket is relatively unique.
Ultra-fast charging at 600 kW nearly doubles the most powerful public chargers for civilian drivers. The cars feature recyclable batteries and bodies made from linen and recycled carbonfiber from last year’s cars. Hankook tires use natural rubber and recycled fiber, and will be recycled after every race.
The high-performance battery makes the ideal partner to the fuel cell. It can store energy recovered from brake applications and supply considerable power for full- load boosting. On batterypower, the Audi A7 Sportback h-tron quattro covers as much as 50 kilometers (31.1 The tanks can store around five kilograms (11.0
This long-range e-bike takes things up a notch with high-grade European transmissions and carbonfiber-reinforced drive belts, including an auto-shifting weather-sealed electricgearbox from Pinion. If you’re looking to kick gas to the curb in favor of clean, hassle-free battery-powered yard tools, this is your chance.
Well, Campluxs new Nano 3 Max is the perfect device to add to your nomad kit, as it comes battery-powered for up to 100 minutes of continuous use after a 3-hour charge (provided you keep its submersion pump in a water source the entire timeframe. 736), more Jackery sale drops new Explorer 2000 v2 LiFePO4 power station to $999 low (Reg.
Lectric’s premium commuter model, the ONE Long-Range e-bike comes built with plenty of top-notch upgrades, like the Pinion auto-shifting gearbox, the carbonfiber drive belt, and the 24A potted motor controller for effortless peaking to its maximum output power.
The combustion engine and electric motor, battery pack, power electronics, chassis components, and structural and crash functions are all arranged within the aluminum Drive module, while the central element of the Life module is the i8’s CFRP (carbonfiber reinforced plastic) passenger cell. Earlier post.).
Through the Advanced Vehicle Power Technology Alliance between the Energy Department and the Department of the Army, the Army is contributing an additional $3 million in co-funding to support projects focused on lightweighting and propulsion materials, batteries, fuels, and lubricants. 587,248 (jointly funded).
The all-electric portion of the powertrain can help launch the M5 from a dead stop or be used to pilot the vehicle calmly around town using nothing but batterypower. That’s all before you have to decide on the upgraded tech packages, optional carbonfiber components, or the executive package.
