Efficient Drive

 

 

A compact and durable AC induction motor of high efficiency drives Parade. A smart regenerative braking system utilizes the traction motor to transform kinetic energy into electrical energy during the braking process. This extends driving range of the vehicle and lives of brake pads and disks.

A light-weight transaxle transmits power to the wheels efficiently and smoothly. The two sets of helical gears inside of the transaxle reduce the input speed of up to 12,000 rpm from the motor. State-of-art design technique of the helical gears and production of parts by a qualified vendor ensure quiet operation of the transaxle.

A BMS(Battery Management System) of propriety technology monitors and manages series of batteries that store electrical energy and supply nominal 288 volts of electricity to the electric drive motor. The system indicates on the meter cluster of ergonomic design the amount of stored energy and expected range quite accurately. It also protects the batteries from being abused and extends the life of the battery pack.

 

 

         

 

 

 

Reliable & Fun Drive

 

 

The steering system assisted by an electric motor on the steering column eases steering effort of the driver. The system provides just right assist power depending on vehicle speed so that the driver may not be endangered by excessive steering at high speed maneuver. Conventional hydraulic power-assist system has leak, makes noise, takes more space and consumes much more power.

The four-channel ABS and MMC(Metal Matrix Composite) brake disks on all four wheels ensure predictable and safe braking in diversified driving conditions. Each MMC disk weighs only half the weight of a conventional iron brake disk and lasts at least twice as long as the iron one. Aluminum alloy wheels are presented as a basic feature. Steering knuckles and control arms moving along wheels are made of aluminum alloys instead of iron or steel to achieve significant weight reduction. As vehicle dynamics theory says, reducing weights of wheels and other component moving along with wheels enhances maneuverability of the vehicle.

A drive motor between rear wheels contributes to even distribution of loads among wheels.  This rear-wheel configuration enhances dynamic performance of the vehicle in braking, up-hill climbing and turning.  Around 350 kg of batteries under the passenger compartment lowers the mass center of the vehicle and improves dynamic stability of the vehicle.
