Kawasaki quietly brought a Project EV electric concept car at the 2019 Milan Auto Show, which raised many people’s hopes for the Green Legion’s electric car. Recently, foreign media revealed that Kawasaki, in addition to In addition to electric vehicles, it seems that it is also planning to develop HYBRID gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles, and this plan may be implemented first on the Versys multi-function vehicle in the future.
After Kawasaki’s EV Project electric vehicle was unveiled in Milan, it has gradually exposed a lot of tests and developments. Recently, Kawasaki also exposed the latest HYBRID patent. It can be seen that Kawasaki adopts a multi-pronged approach in terms of new generation power. Method
As can be seen in the patent drawings, Kawasaki's HYBRID gasoline-electric hybrid is different from the "starter motor connected to the crankshaft" technology used by Honda and Yamaha on small-displacement pedals, and is closer to the car HYBRID mode. According to Kawasaki patent information, HYBRID will have four different modes, namely engine independent output, HYBRID hybrid power, pure electric power and power generation mode. In different modes, the status of the gearbox, clutch, engine and electric motor will also be changed. different.
The mode can be switched by the rocker of the right-hand switch. At the same time, a large button can be seen below the mode switching button. According to the document, this button is likely to be "electric motor short acceleration". "The Boost button used may be able to provide better acceleration performance through the high torque characteristics of the electric motor when accelerating from the start and overtaking.
Position 36 is suspected to be the Boost accelerator button; in different modes, the status of the gearbox, clutch, engine and motor are also different. What is interesting is that in pure electric mode, the gearbox is still engaged, which means Kawasaki It also uses an electric transmission design
Although this patent is still in the conceptual stage, judging from the strength of the Kawasaki family, it will not be difficult to make a HYBRID gasoline-electric hybrid motorcycle. Even before, Kawasaki The patent for the "two-stroke extended-range electric vehicle" has also been exposed. Let us look forward to whether Kawasaki, which has made the H2 machine beast, will give us new surprises in the future!
