Plug-in electric vehicles (also known as electric cars or EVs) are connected, fun, and practical. They can reduce emissions and even save you money. Fuelling with electricity offers some advantages not available in conventional internal combustion engine vehicles. Because electric motors react quickly, EVs are very responsive and have very good torque.

​

EVs are often more digitally connected than conventional vehicles, with many EV charging stations providing the option to control charging from a smart phone app. Just like a smartphone, you can plugin your EV when you get home and have it ready for you to use the next morning. Since the electric grid is available almost anywhere, there are a variety of options for charging: at home, at work or on the road. By charging often, you may never need to go to a gas station again! But EVs provide more than just individual benefits. EVs can help the world to have a greater diversity of fuel choices available for transportation. EVs can also reduce the emissions that contribute to climate change and smog, improving public health and reducing ecological damage. Charging your EV on renewable energy such as solar or wind minimises these emissions even more. See the difference in emissions between a conventional vehicle and an EV using the calculator on the right. Learn more about how EVs reduce pollution and their life cycle emissions.

​

EVs are cleaner to use, to make and easier to produce and are basically considered a home appliance in many countries and because they have much less mechanical parts and convert electricity to mechanical drive with much higher efficiency are considered the next best investment industry for the 21st Century and beyond. The possibilities are limitless.

DUESENBERG Technologies is planning to be a pioneer in field of  Green Mobility. This will be in forms of Electrified vehicle  platforms, high capacity high Voltage Electric Motors and Battery systems. Proprietary Traction Software for use on DUESENBERG vehicles and offering the same technologies to Global OEMs. The DUESENBERG Electric Vehicle Platform is a fully scalable Chassis and frame and incorporates all the CORE and Auxiliary systems needed for a full Electric Vehicle design. We already planned and specified one of the most technologically innovative and most efficient yet powerful Electric Drive systems for new DUESENBERG vehicles in collaboration with one of the most renowned Electric Drive Technologies companies in Europe. Our systems are complete for use include PMSM Electric Drive Units, Battery systems, CORE Power electronics, E-HVAC, HMI digital cockpit and Autonomous ADAS systems and advanced Ride and Handing technology. 

 

• DUESENBERG Electric Drive Units (EDU):

DUESENBERG Electric Drive Topology is based on Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) design which is highly advanced, efficient yet very powerful I terms of torque and horsepower and universally proven. A PMSM- is a synchronous electric motor whose inductor consists of permanent magnets and are connected to the energy storage directly and their movements are controlled by IGBT Inverter systems. To achieve the best in this field we have partnered with one the world’s most renowned and professional German technology partners in terms of design and development of DUESENBERG Electric Drive system complete with built in inverter and an E-transmission built on a 800V eclectic architecture makes the overall system to be the most advanced and efficient in terms of power use and management as well as range and drivability, Combined e-motor, inverter, and drivetrain solutions including system integration. Sophisticated power electronics are key to the operation of electrical machines. Advanced switching strategies and highly developed thermal management allow a compact design, despite having to handle high voltages and currents. There are several Electric Motor drive concepts from other European and American technology houses that are also being studied for different EV applications.

 

• DUESENBERG Energy Storage Unit (ESU):

Thanks to the modular design of our selected battery modules, practically all requirements regarding size, installation space and capacity can be met. Furthermore, smaller quantities can be produced at reasonable costs. The interchangeability of the energy modules and the cooperation of  DUESENBERG Technologies team with world class cell manufacturers ensure the greatest flexibility in the selection of cells. Individual design preferences between high power or high energy batteries can be considered, and special requirements, regarding safety, can be fulfilled. The specially developed battery management system guarantees state-of-the-art battery control and efficient integration of the thermal management into the overall vehicle in line with the most individual requirements. 

‍
The result is batteries that can be charged to 80% in only 12 minutes. This  powerful high-energy battery has  a capacity of 86.5kWh and is good for ranges of more than 500km. With a constant discharge power of 430kW (up to 690kW for short periods), it hardly sets any limits for the drive power of the electric motors, even in luxury class vehicles. Furthermore, within the scope of a research project, it proved possible, to build batteries which can be charged to 80% of their capacity in only 5 minutes and to 100% in 8 minutes.

​

‍Such technological progress is made possible by our extensive testing landscape. Starting with cell characterisation, through typical electrical and thermal tests of battery modules and battery packs to endurance runs, the complete spectrum of development can be mapped. Validation and certification in compliance with all current standards (LV124, ISO26262, UN38.3 among others) can also be carried out while running environmental tests and abuse tests under appropriate safety measures.

DUESENBERG Hydrogen Fuel Cell Drive (HFCD):

Hydrogen, when used in a fuel cell to provide electricity, is an emissions-free alternative fuel produced from diverse energy sources. Currently, drivers of light-duty fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) can fuel up at retail stations in less than 5 minutes and obtain a driving range of more than 300 miles. Research and commercial efforts are under way to expand the limited hydrogen fuelling infrastructure and increase the production of FCEVs. DUESENBERG Technologies and its global technical partner are embarking on a Hydrogen drive initiative for commercial vehicles. Using Hydrogen to power the electric Drive units of the commercial vehicles would be the right choice. 

 

Hydrogen has three basic benefits that address these concerns.

 

1. The use of hydrogen greatly reduces pollution. 

When hydrogen is combined with oxygen in a fuel cell, energy in the form of electricity is produced. This electricity can be used to power vehicles, as a heat source and for many other uses. The advantage of using hydrogen as an energy carrier is that when it combines with oxygen the only byproducts are water and heat. No greenhouse gasses or other particulates are produced by the use of hydrogen fuel cells. A FCEV can be refilled in less than 5 Minutes

full tank.

​

2. Hydrogen can be produced locally from numerous sources. 

Hydrogen can be produced either centrally, and then distributed, or onsite where it will be used. Hydrogen gas can be produced from methane, gasoline, biomass, coal or water. Each of these sources brings with it different amounts of pollution, technical challenges, and energy requirements.

​

3. If hydrogen is produced from water we have a sustainable production system. 

Electrolysis is the method of separating water into hydrogen and oxygen. Renewable energy can be used to power electrolysers to produce the hydrogen from water. Using renewable energy provides a sustainable system that is independent of petroleum products and is nonpolluting. Some of the renewable sources used to power electrolysers are wind, hydro, solar and tidal energy. After the hydrogen is produced in an electrolyser it can be used in a fuel cell to produce electricity. The by products of the fuel cell process are water and heat. If fuel cells operate at high temperatures the

system can be set up as a co-generator, with the waste energy used for heating.
