UQM Technologies, Inc. is providing two 145 kW UQM PowerPhase electric propulsion systems for the Rolls-Royce 102EX introduced at the Geneva Motor Show. (Earlier post.) Combined, the two electric motors produce 388 hp (283 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 N&iddot;m) of torque.
Rolls-Royce joins Saab and Audi in selecting UQM Technologies electric propulsion systems to power their pre-production test fleets.
UQM has 40,000 units of annual production capacity for its PowerPhase electric propulsion systems to support the commercial launch of CODA Automotive and other customer vehicles powered by its electric propulsion systems. UQM is also supplying Proterra Inc. with 150kW PowerPhase electric propulsion systems for its electric and hybrid electric, composite transit buses.
