The new Kia EV6 - maximizing range with heat pump and recuperation

Energy recovery technologies contribute to the EV6's long range. These include the latest generation of Kia's energy-efficient, optional heat pump, which uses waste heat from the vehicle's cooling system. This allows the EV6 to still achieve 80 percent of the range possible at an outside temperature of minus 7 degrees when the temperature is 25 degrees. The latest generation of Kia's intelligent regenerative braking system is also used. It can recover kinetic energy when the vehicle decelerates to maximize the EV6's range and efficiency. The standard system can be conveniently operated via paddle shifters on the steering wheel, with the driver able to choose between six settings depending on the desired level of energy recovery (switched off / Level 1, 2, 3 / "i-PEDAL" / Auto mode). The maximum energy yield is achieved in "i-PEDAL" mode, which allows the vehicle to be brought gently to a halt without pressing the brake pedal.

27 October 2021 42 Views

The all-new HR-V delivers a unique and responsive driving experience, with exceptional efficiency delivered by Honda’s powerful and efficient two-motor e:HEV powertrain – featured as standard for the first time on a HR-V. The next-generation of the brand’s popular compact SUV offers class-leading space, comfort and utility, as well as advanced safety and technology features, all within a bold and sleek coupe-inspired form. Available in Europe from late 2021, the new HR-V is the latest model in Honda’s line-up to wear the e:HEV (hybrid electric vehicle) badge, following the refreshed CR-V and all-new Jazz that launched in 2020. It expands Honda’s electrified line up as the brand moves further towards its goal of electrifying all of its European mainstream models by 2022. The next-generation hybrid-only HR-V is the culmination of an extensive review of modern consumer attitudes. Having evaluated how today’s active, connected population identifies and selects high value products, Honda developed the HR-V not only as an all-new compact SUV, but as a consumer product that must appeal through desirability, functionality and usability.

Toyota Mirai MTE - Tsuyoshi Takahashi, Project general manager

3 December 2020 78 Views

When developing the new Mirai, Toyota optimized every aspect of the vehicle so that it appeals to customers emotionally - in terms of power delivery and performance as well as the way the car drives and looks. The declared goal was to increase the range compared to the first generation to a level that exceeds most purely battery-electric cars. To achieve this, the engine output and the capacity of the hydrogen tanks increased, as did aerodynamic efficiency. The result: a 30 percent larger radius of action that now reaches a good 650 kilometers. This means that the Mirai is now finally moving up into the long-haul vehicle class. Toyota has devoted itself equally intensively to the room layout. The modular GA-L platform, which serves as the basis for the new Mirai, enables considerably more effective packaging. In favor of a more balanced arrangement of the new FCEV drive train, the fuel cell unit has now moved under the hood. In this way, it clears the way for a larger interior space that can now accommodate five passengers.
