Aston Martin has created a new reversible electric powertrain system for its classic models. The system, says the British brand, is to mitigate against the potential introduction of any future legislation which might restrict the use of older, more polluting combustion-engined cars. The electric powertrain makes use of componentry and know-how from the Rapide E programme, and is available in the form of a 鈥渃assette鈥?EV powertrain, which takes the place of the conventional engine. The first car to display the tech will be a converted 1970 DB6 Mk2 Volante. The electric powertrain sits under the bonnet on the original engine and gearbox mounting points, while cables feed off the power unit to give charge to the original electrical systems. Under-bonnet changes aside, the only superficial alteration is the addition of a screen which, according to Aston Martin, is 鈥榙iscreetly鈥?fitted into the car鈥檚 cabin in order to monitor and control power management functions. The new system will allow classic Aston owners to use the zero emissions powertrain in areas where combustion engines might be banned in future, yet re-fit the original unit when and where such restrictions are not in place. Speaking about the new tech, Aston Martin Lagonda President Andy Palmer said, 鈥渨e are very aware of the environmental and social pressures that threaten to restrict the use of classic cars in the years to come. 鈥淥ur Second Century Plan not only encompasses our new and future models, but also protects our treasured heritage. Do you think a reversible EV powertrain is a good idea?
Car parks equipped with this intelligent infrastructure as far as legally allowed can potentially accommodate up to 20 percent more vehicles, while users save time and enjoy greater convenience. The technology marks a milestone in automated driving for Daimler, which is one of the core pillars of the C.A.S.E. In July, Daimler announced it is the first international automaker to receive a road test license for highly automated driving research vehicles (level 4) in Beijing. Daimler鈥檚 local R&D efforts began in 2005 with the first localized Mercedes-Benz E Class. Since then, it has continued shaping mobility by developing products and services with the aim to best fit the needs of local consumers. In 2014 the Mercedes-Benz Research and Development China Center in Beijing was opened, allowing the company to better learn the needs and tastes of Chinese customers. The number of designers and engineers is now almost three times larger than in 2014. Daimler will continue to invest in local R&D, enabling the company to emphasize C.A.S.E.
For all of the hoopla surrounding Elon Musk鈥檚 online antics and Tesla鈥檚 ongoing struggles to ramp up Model 3 production, it鈥檚 easy to overlook just how far the company has come in a relatively short period of time. It鈥檚 worth noting that Tesla, during this seven-year period, has seen its deliveries and overall manufacturing figures skyrocket. As a prime example, Tesla during the first quarter of 2018 manufactured 34,494 vehicles. During the first quarter of 2019, just one year later, that figure jumped to 77,100 vehicles. All the while, Tesla has no plans of slowing down. Over the next few years, the company has plans to release a crossover version of the Model 3, a Tesla semi-truck, a next-gen Roadster, and last but not least, an electric pickup truck. Tesla鈥檚 pickup truck plan is particularly intriguing given how popular pickup trucks are in the United States. Over the past few months, Musk has teased Tesla鈥檚 somewhat mysterious pickup truck, noting that it will boast 鈥渋ncredible functionally from a load carrying standpoint鈥?and that it will look more like a sci-fi truck than a traditional pickup truck. With no definite timeline regarding a release date, or even an unveiling, an enterprising Model 3 owner and robotics enthusiast named Simone Giertz recently decided that she couldn鈥檛 wait for Tesla to get around to releasing a pickup truck. The entire process was documented on YouTube and it鈥檚 quite fascinating. Suffice it to say, the entire process was quite involved and not exactly straight forward. But after a lot of engineering and planning, the first Tesla pickup truck was borne into existence.
