London, 02 April 2024, (Oilandgaspress): – After the exciting journey of discovery through Balocco with the Jeep® Avenger e-Hybrid, the distinctive experience continues unabated, now focusing on testing other powerful e-Hybrid vehicles from the Jeep brand lineup. This marks the second phase of the test drives, with different stars taking the spotlight: the Jeep Renegade and the Jeep Compass MY24, both powered by Brand’s innovative hybrid engine technology.
Balocco, a small Italian gem, once again set the stage for celebrating sustainable technological innovation. From March 12th to the 20th, the town hosts the media drives of Jeep’s e-Hybrid lineup, opening the doors of both the village and the vehicles to selected European journalists from 14 countries. Among specially designed routes, journalists will discover the unique features of the two e-Hybrid vehicles and their concrete performance, testing a 100% hybrid experience. The e-Hybrid powertrain seamlessly manages the propulsion system by automatically switching between full electric, hybrid, and internal combustion engines based on factors such as the 48V battery state of charge, liquid cooled and with 17.5Ah capacity, real-time driving conditions, and other monitored parameters. This intelligent system ensures the delivery of exceptional performance across various driving scenarios. Whether it’s the smooth and silent full electric propulsion during launch, the efficient hybrid mode for cruising, or the powerful internal combustion engine for acceleration, these vehicles adapt effortlessly to the demands of the road.
The two vehicles featuring the GSE T4 1.5L turbo engine incorporate several innovative components and capabilities aimed at enhancing efficiency and performance. At its core, the GSE T4 engine boasts a gasoline four-cylinder Miller cycle Turbocharged design, generating 130hp and 240Nm of peak torque, delivering both power and fuel economy. Crucially, the hybrid system integrates an Intelligent Brake System, enabling regenerative braking to harness energy during deceleration. The engine is complemented by a Belt Starter Generator (BSG), facilitating smooth restarts of the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) at low speeds, ensuring seamless operation and reduced emissions. Furthermore, the transmission is equipped with a P2.5 motor, providing an additional 15 kW of electric propulsion, strategically coupled with even gears for optimal efficiency. Power is supplied by a compact 48V air-cooled battery pack, boasting a capacity of 17.5Ah and 0.8kWh, ensuring ample energy storage for hybrid operations. The hybrid control system, housed in a separate unit, orchestrates the seamless integration of power sources, optimizing performance across various driving conditions.
