Outlines Plan to Go Electric With the Range Rover Evoque

Evoque_E project will see the company working with 11 other companies and universities to establish three prototypes demonstrated hybrid, plug-in hybrid and all-electric power train technology , £ 16.3 m in the project is mainly funded by the Technology Strategy Board ( TBS).

JAR also outlined its plans for the University of Warwick £ 94 million of National Automotive Innovation Campus , to enable them to work more closely with the next generation of automotive technology academics and small companies .

Three car Evoque_E project , JLR contributed £ 4,000,000 is due to debut in 2015 , will serve as a technology demonstration to inform future decision- making after the seven prototype electric Land Rover Defender 's footsteps tested this year .

The so-called mild hybrid model will use regenerative braking and an electric motor auxiliary gasoline engine to produce carbon dioxide emissions under 95g/km , compared with a standard 2.2-liter diesel engine Evoque a city whose motion failed 133g/km worldwide sales has been a major component of utitlity vehicle JLRâ € ™ success in the past few years .

Plug -in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) will be able to travel 30 miles on battery power alone , and then switch to the next petrol generators producing 40g/km . Battery electric vehicles (BEV), does not produce any exhaust carbon dioxide emissions, and there are over 100 miles of range.

Decided to pursue three different electric vehicle mainly in the EU, U.S. and Chinese government introduced various carbon dioixide emissions regulations , but also need to cater to the needs of customers , according to JLRâ head of research, Tony Harper .

From a global perspective , there is no silver bullet € ™ carbon dioxide regulations , "€ ™ he said at a news conference .solution diversity, which € ™ s driving projects and needs a modular approach to meet these requirements.

Having said that , we know where the nearest EV sales , customers will not € ™ acceptable compromise . They are fully capable car Tata € ™ s other dimensions this.

The goal is to be able to specific government and customer requirements customized cars are behind the decision , in a single project development aspects vehiclesâ powertrain .

The company said that one of the biggest challenges facing the development of the battery has enough energy density, power no loss in performance Evoque_E BEV, and that the company will work with the government 's high-value manufacturing "€ œCatapultâ? Research center to resolve the problem

€ ~ machines , power electronics and battery have been designed and developed a significant cost challenges , so that they can in industrialization , "€ ™ Mark McNally said hybrid electric vehicle research manager.

"~ , We will find materials , depopulation of power electronics and battery design and assembly optimisation.

Williams advanced engineering on the basis of their work on hybrid electric concept car Jaguar CX -75 to construct a modular integrated battery systems , power electronics will develop Newcastle and the University of Bristol , automotive design Ltd. , Tata steel and Zytek automotive .

Cranfield University and Delta Motorsport will build a system that will not only regenerative braking energy , but also as a vehicle turns, to help in this process , in order to help stabilize .

Austria -based AVL Powertrain consultants will assist pillar system engineering and thermal management . GKN Driveline and drive system design and development of the transmission.

JLR will focus on other elements , including reducing the engine , lightweight construction , electric motors and torque management system to promote development , due on sale next year in the hybrid Range Rover .

JLR also revealed details on its planned 30,000 square meters of the National Automotive Innovation Campus (NAIC), will see the company invested 50 million pounds , and its advanced R & D team size will double , to support about 500 jobs , including possible 150 new .

NAIC, which will be built since September 2014 , and opened in 2016 , will be designed to make it easier JLR with industry and academic partners , based on research and technology , Dr. Wolfgang EPPLE, will coordinate facilityâ Directors € ™ s development .

€ ~ € ™ t we do not already have the infrastructure and technology to get all of our partners around the table , "he said € ™. € ~ We also need to find and inspire young people to fire , so they enter the project , which will is an additional goal NAIC.â
