Axeon’s advanced battery technology will power two vehicles in this year’s RAC Future Car Challenge on – the Jaguar's XJ_e plug-in hybrid advanced research project and Emerald Automotive’s t-001 range-extended electric van.
The Jaguar XJ_e and Emerald Automotive t-001 will take on the 60-mile energy-saving driving challenge fromMadeira Drive in Brighton to Regent’s Street on Saturday 3rd November 2012.
Jaguar’s XJ_e plug-in hybrid advanced research project uses a 12.3kWh battery pack from Axeon that provides an electric range of up to 25 miles and helps achieve CO2 emissions of less than 75g/km. The battery powers a 69kW motor, which sits alongside a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the car’s drivetrain. The battery uses the latest lithium iron phosphate pouch cells in liquid-cooled/heated self-contained modules for optimum battery management and safety.
For the Emerald Automotive’s t-001 range-extended electric van, Axeon designed and manufactured two custom 25kWh battery packs. The t-001 has an electric range of 66 miles and CO2 emissions as low as 22g/km. The batteries use Axeon’s proprietary Battery Management System and flexible pouch cell module design technology.
Axeon CEO, Lawrence Berns commented: “We are delighted to be involved in both of these pioneering low carbon vehicle projects and will be excited to see them in action in this year’s Future Car Challenge. Together, the vehicles demonstrate Axeon’s ability to provide battery solutions for a wide range of vehicles – from luxury cars to light vans.”
