The company and partner FEV will be unveiling components of a new advanced extended-range plug-in series hybrid electric vehicle powertrain and integrated drive system expected to enable an average 100 miles per gallon. The hybrid architecture integrates Raser’s Symetron (tm) technology in an advanced 200 kilowatt (kW) peak, 100 kW continuous AC induction motor and power electronic traction drive and a 100 kW PM synchronous generating system and a 700 volt lithium-ion battery and power management system. A full-size plug-in series hybrid SUV with this new powertrain would be designed to drive 40 miles in all-electric mode under battery power, with near zero emissions. Fleet versions of this extended range electric vehicle are expected to offer up to 50 kW of exportable power from the onboard generator.
