The company develops new technologies that will allow less to recharge electric vehicles. Engineers are planning to make electric cars to pass one thousand kilometers on a single charge. For this purpose, the company came up with three options for combining an electric motor and an internal combustion engine. In fact, Volvo is developing new versions of hybrid cars. In the first embodiment, the electric C30 hatchback has established an internal combustion engine that runs on either gasoline or ethanol. In this case, the motor is placed under the boot floor and the batteries have decreased in size. Power gasoline engine is 60 HP and installed it in tandem with the generator, which "feeds" the motor. The second option involves the installation of three-cylinder turbo motor 190 HP , which transmits torque to the rear wheels through a 6-speed automatic. The total power of the two engines of 300 HP With such a combination, the vehicle can travel without recharging over thousands of kilometers. In the third case 190-horsepower gasoline engine combined with an electric motor with a capacity of 111 HP In this case the car at speeds up to 50 km/h is going solely by electricity.
