• Hybrid technology British

In the near future, all cars of Jaguar Land Rover will receive either electric or hybrid engines. I decided to share his impressions of the British use of hybrid technology.

Range Rover P400e - is a hybrid vehicle with the ability to recharge from the mains (PHEV) or pezhime pekupepatsii. This means it is equipped with a conventional internal combustion engine and a powerful electric motor, operating in parallel.

Power of the electric motor (85 kW) capacious provides high voltage battery 13 kW / h, which can be charged from an external source. Energy stored in the battery is also replenished by regenerative braking during motion.

P400e complete with cable for charging from the power source in the home, which is connected to the car. gross vehicle charging time varies depending on the power supply and can be only 7 hours at 5 cable is used to charge at home. In fact, in most cases, the car battery can be charged per night, and zapyadka akkumulyatopa on special electric charging stations is carried out in just 2 hours and 45 minutes!

There is also a recharging system with a timer, which enables the set deadlines PHEV charging, allowing you to perform this procedure in the off-peak hours when there are reduced rates for electricity, or just a convenient time for you day. In this Land Rover warranty for the battery 8 years (or 160 thousand. Kilometers). Most of today does not give anyone.

A fully charged high-capacity battery allows travel up to 48 kilometers solely on the electric motor. Agree, even this will be enough for daily trips around town. If you do not have enough power in reserve batteries, come to the aid 4-cylinder gasoline engine power Ingenium.

The gasoline engine provides power of 300 "horses", even 116 liters. from. outputs the electric motor. The amount of power is an impressive 404 "horses". On dispersal to hundred car needs only 6, 8 sec. Moreover, in the hybrid mode, fuel consumption for the massive SUV may be only 3-4 liters per hundred.

In general, a decent performance for a large vehicle that retains confidence nA any road surface. And on board a full set of buns Range Rover: leather, podlokotniki c podogpevami, monitors, multimedia system with Wi-Fi in category 8 gadzhetov and more.
