https://www.eurocarnews.com - A Blue TEC hybrid features an additional magneto-electric motor and a 7G-TRONIC seven-speed automatic transmission specially configured for the hybrid module, the necessary operating and control electronics, the transformer and a high-voltage lithium-ion battery.




During braking the electric motor acts as a generator and is able to recover kinetic energy by a process known as recuperation. During this process the electric motor works together seamlessly with the engine brake of the internal combustion engine and the conventional wheel brakes. The recuperated energy is stored by a compact but efficient lithium-ion battery in the engine compartment and retrieved when required. Major advantages over conventional nickel/metal hydride batteries include a higher energy density and greater electrical efficiency combined with more compact dimensions and a low battery weight. Thanks to space-saving installation in the engine compartment, the trunk capacity and generous interior dimensions remain unchanged. The hybrid module also has a convenient start-stop function.

  • you just described the Chevy Volt.

  • Electric engine technology is very interesting to me. I am wondering if engineers are going to produce a two or three cylinder internal combustion engine that would simply create electricity for the electric engine for a car. The primary engine of the car would be electric and the supporting engine would be gasoline. The gasoline engine would run when the batteries of the electric engine needed charging.

    Too bad Mercedes Benz are so expensive. This car gets up to 43.8 miles per gallon.

  • OH, i wonder if when I'll be having this car...
