JSW MG Motors India launches the new ADAPT platform that can operate four different powertrains. Instead of building different platforms for EV’s, hybrids, and plug-in hybrids, the carmaker can build all of them using one flexible base.
Supported Powertrains
The new platform supports multiple new-energy powertrains on the same architecture. Some of them include:
- EV: Runs solely on battery
- HEV: Battery and combustion engine work together
- PHEV: Runs on both the engine and the battery, which requires external charging
- REEV: REEV stands for Range Extended Electric Vehicle. The wheels are powered by an electric motor while the battery is charged by a small combustion engine that acts like the motor.
New Driving Modes Introduced
The upcoming MG PHEV that is based on this platform will automatically choose the most efficient driving mode:
- Pure Electric: operates only on battery
- Series Hybrid: the engine will generate electricity
- Parallel Hybrid: engine and motor operate together
- Engine Direct Drive: for efficient highway driving
Advantages
Four different powertrains solve different problems faced by customers. This new platform is expected to offer:
- Longer driving range
- Faster charging
- Better fuel efficiency
- Improved performance
- Smoother driving
- Improved safety and faster product development
