Range Rover Electric does test laps around the world
The first prototypes of the Range Rover Electric are doing their test laps at locations all over the world. The all-electric drivetrain is being put through its paces in extreme temperatures: from minus 40 degrees Celsius in the Arctic Circle to 50 degrees Celsius in the desert heat of the Middle East. After a year-long component and virtual development process, the first vehicles of the all-electric Range Rover are now on the road. The first photos of the all-black prototypes show the familiar design.
In extreme sub-zero temperatures, the tests focus on the performance of the battery and electric drive unit, which are manufactured in-house by JLR (Jaguar Land Rover) for the first time. And lo and behold: on the frozen lakes of Sweden, Range Rover's self-developed all-electric drive system surpasses the already known performance once again. All-terrain and all-weather capabilities also remain exceptional as usual on any surface.
A new type of traction control for driving on icy or slippery surfaces makes this possible. Instead of conventional traction control, which is located exclusively in the ABS system, the Range Rover Electric distributes the task of traction control directly to each individual electric drive control unit. This reduces the reaction time of the torque at each wheel from around 100 milliseconds to just one millisecond. (aum)
