The patent pending D1G1TAL DR1VE achieves an unmatched level of integration never before available, making it the simplest and most complete solution for any company manufacturing electric vehicles.
Utilizing the Remy HVH motor, the D1G1TAL DR1VE starts with proven motor technology that delivers industry-leading torque and power density and has over a billion miles of proven reliability. A proprietary compact IGBT-based controller is bundled with all necessary high voltage components and is mounted on an anti-vibration chassis within the unit. Up to 1150 N-m of torque is delivered through a gear-driven final drive and built-in differential. The entire system uses a patent pending cooling and lubrication system, delivering winning results in intense international competition.
The D1 is slated for delivery in Q2 of 2011, for under $8999. Additional models, including a high performance version, are currently under development.
