China's Techrules Turbine Recharging EVs Have A...2,000KM Range
Techrules, a new China-based automotive research and development company dedicated to the innovation of new energy technologies, is making its global debut at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show . The company has developed an all-new patent-protected series hybrid powertrain technology , called the Turbine-Recharging Electric Vehicle (TREV) system, that combines experience of aviation and electric vehicles technologies with several technical innovations in order to deliver “unprecedented levels of efficiency and performance and and ultra-low environmental impact” – as the company states. Sounds too good to be true? Wait till you hear the specs, then. TREV is basically a range extender system that uses a micro-turbine to generate electricity which in turn charges a battery pack that drive the wheels. The concepts (AT96 TREV and GT96 TREV) presented at the Swiss motor show represent the first step towards production of China’s first electric hypercar an...
