It is reported that Swindon powertrain, a British engineering company, is developing a compact strip box motor. The power of the motor is 80kW, which can provide power system for small batch production vehicles, such as the electric version of rare and unique vehicles such as small displacement, light commercial vehicle and golf cart. "At present, the supply of compact high-power EV system is insufficient, so it is difficult to achieve small batch purchase, and the manufacturer is disappointed," the company said. Our off the shelf crated powertrain will accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles in underserved industries by larger tier one manufacturers and integrators. ” it is reported that its "crate ” motor is composed of motor, inverter, single speed transmission and cooling system, which can be installed in cars as small as the classic mini, as well as four-wheel motorcycles and other vehicles. This project launched by Swindon powertrain, which is funded by the nichevehicle network (NVN ”), and cooperates with groups such as the motor manufacturer inetic, will create a transverse motor system with the highest power / volume ratio in the market. At present, the development team has built an original Mini with its own internal motor, with a range of 125mi (200km) for its 24kwh group. The 98km / h sprint takes 9.2 seconds, and Swindon powertrain indicates that the original 68 / 32 (front / back) weight distribution has been changed to a more balanced 57 / 43. Swindon also said the motor is waterproof and can be used in compact off-road vehicles. The power system has multiple installation points, the installation position of inverter and cooling package is flexible, and it can adapt to a series of models. Swindon plans to start mass production by June 2020. In addition to being an independent motor, the device can also be used as an electrical component of the automobile power transmission system.
