According to here’s what we can look forward to from E terrain technologies over the next 10 years Stop start as standard on all Freelander 2 diesel manual models, launching in 2009. Smart charge regenerative braking. Electricity is generated and stored at partial throttle setting and as the vehicle slows, Belt integrated start generator a micro hybrid technology. Intelligent Power system management which minimizes power drawn by the vehicle’s electrical systems using less electrical power saves fuel.
Flywheel hybrid, another advanced technology that boost performance with range extenders small diesel drivers a generator to top up larger batteries primarily recharged from the mains supply.
This is all very exciting, but the technologies martin seats out seem to revolve around diesel autos so where does this leave Defender? The iconic forebear of every land Rover seems increasing to be out on a limb when it comes to E Terrain. Surely this doesn’t need to be the case. Just imagine a Defender with electric motors in each hub, powered by a fuel sipping bio diesel electric generator.
