Engineers from the start-up Durot Electric, who specialize in electromobility, present their latest creation at a rally. The vehicle is an electric VW T6 with all-wheel drive and a range of up to 400 kilometers. The battery storage system was developed in collaboration with electric mobility specialist Kreisel Electric.
The vehicle, which has been converted to electric operation, was developed on commission and is intended to cover everyday mobility needs. During development, particular attention was paid to the longest possible range and fast-charging capability. All-wheel drive and air conditioning allow the vehicle to be used in harsh conditions without compromising on comfort.
Innovative underbody battery with thermal management
The battery of the now fully electric Multivan T6 has been integrated into the underbody, resulting in no loss of space. The resulting lower center of gravity of the vehicle has a positive effect on road holding. The liquid-cooled energy storage system was developed in collaboration with Austrian partner Kreisel Electric, whose battery technology is currently one of the leading on the world market. The Kreisel Battery Pack is characterized by its integrated thermal management and efficient connection technology, which enables a longer service life and more power.
Customized user interface for vehicle data
In the practically unchanged interior of the vehicle, there is now a touch display on which all relevant vehicle data is shown. This includes fuel consumption, remaining range and battery temperature. The display functions can be adapted to the driver’s requirements if necessary. Before the electric VW is used in the customer’s business, it will be presented to the public. At the Swiss electric vehicle rally called WAVE, which starts in Winterthur on June 8, 2018, it will demonstrate its sporty traits as well as its everyday qualities.
