The Tecnalia Technological Corporation has unveiled the Dynacar— an all-electric car that can reach a speed of 140 km/h (87 mph) in 10 seconds.
The Dynacar electric two-seater car is based on a single-shell, rigid, lightweight chassis of steel and aluminum alloy, with an adjustable deformable parallelogram suspension system for the four wheels.
The Dynacar has a peak power of 100 kW provided by a permanent magnet synchronous electric motor, a total weight of 700 kg and an energy storage capacity of 15 kWh.
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (62mph) is estimated to be under 5.7 seconds, the optimum management of traction control being critical. The peak speed is approximately 140 km/h (87 mph), reaching this figure in 10 seconds.
It’s been built to allow the installation of a battery or small internal combustion engine to extend its range – around 70km (43.5 miles) at present.
The vehicle will be adapted to run on the open road, but its main application is to act as a research platform for new concepts.
Technologies under development include high-powered electric traction, as well as systems that take advantage of new propulsion systems, such as boost vectorisation or distributed traction.
“The electrification of road transport is one of the priorities of the research, given that the dependence on fossil fuels and the greenhouse effect has focused everyone’s attention on the traditional concept of transport, based on vehicles with conventional motor drive,” say the researchers.
The all-electric Dynacar was unveiled at the International Eco Friendly Vehicle & Sustainable Mobility Show in Madrid, held between the 20th and 23rd of May.
