48V Town & Country Hybrid Powertrain (TC48)

48V城乡动力系统项目旨在开发世界上最具成本效益的xEV动力系统，将一辆小型汽车转换为能够行驶15英里的全电动范围（城镇电动汽车），112英里/英里，52克/公里二氧化碳（乡村混合动力汽车），边际成本为1,745英镑，在没有补贴的情况下，在2年内从节省的燃料中获得回报。该项目汇集了不使用稀土磁铁的开关磁阻电机（纽卡斯尔大学）和汽车微控制器（英飞凌技术）开发领域的全球领导者；与塔塔钢铁公司和先进制造供应链倡议（AMSCI）验证工厂合作，生产一种插电式混合动力系统，这将为降低成本树立新的基准，并为批量生产和组装而设计。48V城乡混合动力汽车在电动机（<35英里/小时）和新型旋转发动机（>35英里/小时）之间无缝切换，提供了非常高效的驾驶体验，同时也实现了高水平的改进，以满足精明的汽车客户所期望的NVH和驾驶性能目标——向城镇和城市的电动汽车驾驶问好；对高油价说再见吧！

The 48V Town & Country Powertrain Project aims to develop the most cost-effective xEV powertrain in the world, converting a small car to be capable of 15 miles all electric range (EV in Town), 112 mpge, 52g/km CO2, (HEV in the Country) for a marginal cost of £1,745, repaid from fuel savings in under 2 years without subsidy.The project brings together world leaders in the development of switched reluctance motors, which do not use rare earth magnets (Newcastle University) and automotive microcontrollers (Infineon Technologies); working with Tata Steel and the Advanced Manufacturing Supply Chain Initiative (AMSCI) Proving Factory, to produce a plug-in hybrid powertrain that will set a new benchmark for cost reduction and is designed for volume manufacture and assembly.The 48V Town & Country hybrid vehicle seamlessly switches between the electric motor (<35mph) and a novel rotary engine (>35mph), providing an exceptionally efficient driving experience, whilst also achieving high levels of refinement to meet NVH and drivability targets expected by savvy automotive customers - Say ‘hello’ to EV driving in towns & cities; say ‘goodbye’ to high fuel costs!
