The electronic power super visor - 4automatically manages the operation of the two power units (Diesel and electric) to provide the lowest consumption. An inverter and a transformer are needed to manage the electric power. The inverter acts on the torque of the electric motor, by regulating the current coming from the high voltage battery pack. Its operating range is between 150 and 270 volts. The transformer converts the 200 V of the battery pack to 12 V, to power the vehicle's ancillary systems.
The alternator-starter motor - 5 assures the Stop & Star t function which allows the Diesel engine to be put into standby during stops (traffic lights, a stop, or in a traffic jam, for example) or during phases of running in all-electric mode. The stopping and restarting of the Diesel engine is done in a way that is instantaneous and transparent for the driver. It also provides additional charging of the batteries (4x4 mode for example or under-charged high voltage battery).
The electronic gearbox - 6 provides, in automatic mode, significant savings in fuel consumption compared to a conventional manual gearbox, thanks to its electronic control system. It also offers improved driving pleasure with the possibility at any time of choosing the gear changing mode: automatic or manual, using the paddles located behind the steering wheel.
