In this Hybrid vehicle context, Schaeffl er has developed an innovative modular system for electric axles in various confi gurations and build levels.

Bio hybrid The innovative and compact mobility solution for urban areas not only provides weather protection but, featuring four wheels including an electric pedelec drive, high driving stability and ample stowage space. In spring of 2016, Schaeffl er unveiled this design and development concept that met with positive response around the globe.

At CES in Las Vegas in January 2017, Schaeffl er showcased this prototype. Integrated in the board is a battery that drives the rear axle via an electric motor.

That was 1899, the same year that the Baker Motor Vehicle Company began Two things are needed: 1) A paradigm shift. In 1996, General to build electric cars.

Up to 1939, Detroit Electric range of around 250 km using 26.4 kWh from a nickel-metal models with more than a 100-kilometer driving hydride battery. 2) A technological leap, based on lithium-ion range. Around the turn of the century there were batteries from Sony. With these batteries, Tesla joins the more electric cars on the road than combustion car industry in 2008 with a roadster; 200 kph top speed, ones. Only with the improvement of performance, 350-kilometer range. In Japan, the Mitsubishi i-MiEV has range and gas station networks do petrol-powered been rolling off the assembly line since 2009. Today, there are vehicles take over. many electric cars, and Schaeffler is a sought-after partner.

1997 Attractive alternatives?

The bridging solution comes from the hybrid drive using the combustion engine and electricity. 1972 The limits makes the breakthrough in 1997: The Prius is a million-seller. Electric drive is also possible without a battery: hydrogen and oxygen generate electricity in a fuel cell that drives the car. In 2003, a Mercedes to growth A-class F-Cell is the world’s first fuel cell passenger car to go into small-scale production. Since 2015, Toyota has produced the hydrogen model, Mirai. Electric mobility means drive from a fixed elec- tricity supply – trams, trains, trolley buses. But gasoline-power comes under pressure. The 1972 Club of Rome “limits to growth”: Finiteness of resources. 1974 oil crisis. The industry responds with rudimentary electric drives: A BMW 1602 for the 1972 Olympics only has 32 kW (43.5 HP). In fleet tests, the electric transporters from Mercedes and VW, equipped with the batteries that were still very heavy in those days and with a capacity of approx. 22 kilowatt hours, merely had a range of 60 to 80 kilometers. And the electric models of Opel, Mercedes and VW in a large-scale project on the German island of Rügen are based on existing cars. This is the wrong path. 2009 Motorsport

The milestones of electric mobility in racing: In July 2009, the first victory for a McLaren-Mercedes with hybrid drive in Formula 1. In June 2012, the first Audi win with diesel-electric drive at Le Mans. In Sep- tember 2014, FIA Formula E is launched as the first race series with electric drive. Schaeffler is one of the pioneers with the ABT Schaeffler Audi Sport team. June 2015 heralds the first overall victory of Rhys Millen’s electric race car against petrol-powered vehicles at Pikes Peak.
