Summary
On one hand, plug-in hybrids enable emission-free driving over appreciable distances. On the other hand, this is achieved by means of a correspondingly large and thus correspondingly expensive traction battery. The cost pressure for this component, as with all other hybrid components, is thus extremely high. MBtech developed the DualX E-Drive concept as part of an in-house plug-in hybrid project for a van. The results of an MBtech study regarding the requirements for the hybridization of light commercial vehicles served as the starting point. As with "P4" or "through-the-road" power trains, the DualX E-Drive combines a conventional combustion engine power train with an electromotive traction unit which power different axles. In addition to the advantages of a hybrid, the DualX E-Drive also provides an all-wheel drive power train.
