Dongfeng E70 EV Debuts with ProteanDrive In-Wheel Motor
Hello friends, we meet again on the Star Sports Auto channel, this time we will discuss about
Chinese automaker Dongfeng Motor (DFM) revealed a revised version of the E70, now the world's first series-produced passenger vehicle to use an electric motor in Protean wheels.
The Dongfeng Fengshen E70 is one of the most successful passenger cars in China and happens to be an electric car with a single front-mounted electric motor.
Now, with this latest version, two ProteanDrive Pd18 in-wheel motors are used for the rear wheels, resulting in an all-wheel drive sedan.
A Protean unit has a peak power output of 78 kilowatts (104 horsepower) and peak torque of 922 pound-feet (1,250 Newton-meters), which should be more than enough for everyday shopping.
Additionally, the use of two motors in the rear allows for the use of torque vectoring, which seems a bit excessive for something that looks like a commuter, but it's still interesting to see technology like this installed in a car that almost anyone can afford.
