These cars use electric motor mounted directly onto the wheels might not only is the idea that will appear in 2014. In particular, the wheel motor can also mount for the car to become regular hybrids.
Since few years ago, the idea of electric vehicles and fully integrated system for wheel drive was launched and it has been regarded as the new direction of the auto industry in terms of fossil fuels are becoming increasingly exhausted. With this idea, the entire drivetrain as differential, gearbox, parties ... will be eliminated, thereby reducing the car's weight down, reduce costs and increase the vehicle's space layout design .
The structure of the wheel mounted electric motor
Besides, with the motor located in the wheel separation will help to provide torque and speed independently and accurately under conditions that make the car operational flexibility and high dynamics for vehicles. However, this is still only in the form of the idea that there is no specific manufacturer to realize this idea.
In "Meeting the global automobile production in 2013" - Society of Automotive Engineers World Congress. a manufacturer is known as the Protean did all surprised that they will officially electric motor manufacturing motorcycle wheels right now in 2014 at the new plant located in the city of Liyang, China.
According to the published information is Protean, each wheel is attached to motor weighs 30kg, can produce 75 kW (100 hp) and generates torque of up to 62Nm. Besides, the system is able to collect 85% of the kinetic energy of the vehicle during braking to convert into electricity to recharge the batteries.
A noteworthy point in mounting technology of Protean wheel motor up, not only on the installation of new electric vehicles that can be integrated motor for installation on the vehicle used in conventional internal combustion engines. We will turn the motor car into the burning in conventional hybrid vehicle. Protean says, the motor can be fitted with 30% improved fuel consumption compared to conventional motor and can provide enough power to operate without the use of internal combustion engines.
