In the midst of the transportation decarbonization process, a engine ultralight that saves 93%. It is not gasoline, but a new one fuel which comes with a 7,000 euro gift. We live in a time when buying a car is a much more complex decision than a few years ago. Several nations (including Europe) want to prohibit the sale of combustion vehicles, so the list of options is shortened and limited to more expensive models than in the past.
Under these circumstances, decarbonization has become the objective of automotive brands. The burning of fossil fuels has led humans to depend on it, to the point that pollution levels are higher than what the environment and living beings can withstand. For this reason, environmental objectives are being set to achieve neutrality as soon as possible.
As the transportation sector is one of the most polluting, more and more new and ecological models are coming to the fore. Will we ever find the fuel perfect? For now, there are several models that are giving something to talk about and this engine Ultralight could be the answer that has been sought for so long.
This ultralight engine uses a new fuel and saves more than 90%
The company Magna Internationalone of the largest suppliers to the automotive industry, has brought to light a new engine ultralight electric. It was presented in the past CES Las Vegas 2024. It is a small engine that barely weighs 75 kg and delivers 250 kW (340 HP) of power. This electric motor is called eDrive and has been created for electric cars of various types, but especially for the upper segments (C, D and E).
It operates at 800 volts and has a power of 340 HP and a torque of up to 5,000 Nm, while only weighing 75 kg. It is intended for installation in any vehicle in the mentioned segments, both on the front and rear axles, and has an electromagnetic decoupler called eDecoupling.
This method works as an independent or integrated power flow decoupler and increases the autonomy of electric cars by lowering the driving torque of the engine electrified and gearbox systems eDrive primary and secondary. It’s more, Magna eDrive It can take advantage of up to 93% of the energy from the batteries, which makes it one of the most efficient propellants for vehicles on the market.
To understand the difference in values with combustion engines, it should be noted that gasoline-based combustion models offer an average efficiency of 40%. The Canadian company, based in ontariohighlights its small size, the low weight of the engine and its versatility, which is latent due to a design that allows it to rotate 90 degrees on the axis.
This means that it can be used for various purposes and can be installed interchangeably on any axle of the vehicle. Another notable feature is the improvement in sustainability in its production process.
This ultralight engine achieves the most sought after with a new fuel
“Thanks to the seamless integration of our systems, we have managed to reduce our dependence on aluminum and heavy rare earth materials, which translates into a significant reduction in CO2 emissions during production by approximately 20%, compared to with the previous generation of eDrives”he explained Diba IlungaPresident of Powertrain in Magnathrough a press release.
Ultimately, this ultralight engine saves 93%, but not gasoline. Use a new fuel for which a gift of 7,000 euros can be achieved. This amount would come from the aid for electric cars in force in Spain within the framework of the Next Generation EU+ program.
