Which driver of a compact car has not already wished for more power in his automobile and if possible without extra fuel consumption and any additional environmental pollution? But up till now, this went hand in hand with the other and therefore such wishes remained unfulfilled. On the Essen Motor Show 2010, Sportservice Lorinser now presents Easybrid® as an innovative solution. A retrofit electric hub motor with 30 kW additional effective output, exemplarily fitted in a Smart Fortwo.
Already at the beginning of the 20th century, automobile manufacturers experimented with hub motors and fitted them into their cars - among them also Ferdinand Porsche. Nevertheless, this development was soon destined for obscurity, as the general public rather wanted a combustion engine. Due to the further increasing fuel prices and the current environmental-, climate- and CO2-debates, more and more companies are thinking about the future of individual mobility and display electric cars and hybrid automobiles, yet knowing that these will not get over their concept car status for the time being. Especially German automobile manufacturers seem to have missed the trend and only fit hybrid technology into luxury class automobiles if after all.
