Nissan's third generation e-POWER powertrain

Περίληψη

e-POWER is Nissan's unique electric-drive hybrid powertrain that integrates an electric motor with a gasoline engine. Since the system is 100% driven by a high-output motor, drivers can enjoy an EV-like experience with the peace of mind of an onboard gasoline engine for generating energy for the battery.

e-POWER history

Key points of evolution

The third-generation e-POWER system combines a purpose-built engine designed specifically for e-POWER applications. With the ground-up approach of the purpose-built engine, power generation from the engine is further optimized from the previous generation, including activation timing independent of driving conditions and powerband.

The 3rd-gen's new modular approach, called “5-in-1”, integrates five major components to enhance performance, significantly improving fuel efficiency and quietness.
