Current patents
Device for motorizing vehicle i.e. electric vehicle, has control unit for controlling rotational speeds of electrical motors to use motors at high speeds above predetermined threshold speed during entire operation of vehicle.
Internal combustion engine i.e. two-stroke internal combustion engine, has inlet valve including circular shaped lateral wall and bottom provided with hole, where valve is in form of tube closed at its one end.
Eccentric adjustment body for adjusting compression ratio of variable compression ratio internal combustion engine, has flange equipped with notches which are arranged in circle, where notches cooperate with presence detection sensor.
CROSS-DRIVE™ - Gain of energy efficiency for electric vehicles
CROSS-DRIVE™ is a FAAR powertrain innovation to maximize the range of electric vehicles with RPM and torque-optimization
This is an innovative transmission concept for electric vehicles to increase their driving range while using the same battery pack. CROSS-DRIVE™ uses two smaller motors instead of one large motor and activates only the one that offers the best efficiency in low to medium speed driving. Particularly interesting for urban and stop-and-go driving (buses, taxis, delivery vans, refuse trucks), CROSS-DRIVE™ extends the high efficiency fields from the electric motors to the low vehicle speed and to the low torques that are both much used in urban driving.
