Sensors help electric vehicle development

摘要

UK company, Protean Electric is developing a novel method of providing practical, cost-effective electric power for road vehicles using Kistler torque measuring flanges with CoMo torque control monitor to calculate and display power derived from the torque and speed signals. On a business park near Farnham in Surrey, Protean Electric is developing a novel method of providing practical, cost-effective electric power for road vehicles. The Protean Drive is a unique in-wheel electric drive system for hybrid, plug-in hybrid and battery electric light-duty vehicles, which can improve fuel economy, add torque, increase power and improve vehicle handling of both new and existing vehicles. The system has already been successfully installed in vehicles ranging from small vans to luxury, high performance cars.
