Applicants are sought to develop electrochemical energy storage technologies which support commercialization of micro, mild, and full HEVs, PHEVs, and EVs. Exhaust Aftertreatment Materials. VTP seeks projects in the following areas: Electric Drive Vehicle Batteries. Innovative Engine Boosting Technologies. Advanced Manufacturing.
The Q7 PHEV will arrive in dealerships in Germany in 2016, and will likely come to the US, although perhaps with a gasoline-engine variant. Whether for a plug-in hybrid car (PHEV, plug-in-electric vehicle) or a purely electric car, the battery structure follows a uniform modular concept. Audi e-tron quattro concept SUV.
Like the BMW eDrive technology on the plug-in hybrid of the new BMW 7 Series, the intelligent lightweight design featuring carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) is also based on expertise forged in the development of BMW i cars.
Your mileage may vary, but seemingly this PHEV is capable of 40-plus miles of electric range. Call it a throwback plug-in hybrid, perhaps, as this is how some earlier PHEVs were set up. The rear features quad oval exhaust finishers and can be had with a $1,750 carbonfiber package that dressed everything up.
The shark fin antenna, roof rails, integrated spoiler over the raked power lift gate and bright twin exhaust ports finish-off the rear along with LED tail lights. The CX-5 Turbo interior is simple with an all-black color scheme and aluminum accents, steering away from faux wood or carbonfiber.
The lower edges of the fascia find dual horizontal exhaust ports. The dash had real carbonfiber trim along with a minimal use of brushed aluminum. Road Test: 2018 BMW 530e xDrive PHEV. Road Test: 2019 Volvo S90 PHEV. emblems are the only way to tell the world this is the G80 Sport model. Elegant Interior.
The dual level, horizontal LED tail lights wrap from the fender to the hands-free power lift gate, and sit above the lower fascia that features dual round exhaust ports and a continuation of the cross-hatch design. Road Test: 2018 Volvo XC60 T8 PHEV. Clean Fleet Report’s GV70 was painted in an elegant Saville Silver. Interior Wonder.
The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. (In It is much more than that.
