The British came up with how to make hybrids from electric cars

Against the backdrop of interest in the “green” cars, Horse Powertrain from the UK offers a solution – a small power plant, which, as claimed, can be “transplanted” by an electric car by turning it into a hybrid. The prototype will be shown at a car dealership in Shanghai next week.

The installation called Future Hybrid is designed to “hybridize electric cars with minimal modifications,” noted in Horse Powertrain. It includes a small internal combustion engine, electric motor and transmission, enclosed in one compact block.

According to engineers, Future Hybrid is suitable for electric cars on modern platforms, which will allow manufacturers to “satisfy the changing demand of customers” without redrawing production lines.

In Russia, sales of electric carcasses Mini abandoned electric cars and will continue to produce cars with the ICE Sobyanin promised to transfer half the Moscow taxi to electricity

The power plant is attached to the subframe instead of the front electric motor and requires some improvements. The unit can work not only on gasoline, but also on methanol M100, bioethanol E85 and synthetic fuel. The developers have not yet disclosed other details.

Horse PowerTrain belongs to Renault, which a year ago revised the electrification plan, Geely and Aramco – the Saudi oil giant. Future Hybrid will help to quickly adapt to changing trends in the market – namely, a slowdown in the sales of electric cars, on which many large car manufacturers bet on.
