EtelligentEco
PHEV Powertrain Solution
A New Benchmark for Efficient Plug-In-Hybrid Technology
Magna’s new plug-in hybrid powertrain system, called EtelligentEco, enables up to 38% less greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in real-world operation, compared to current plug-in hybrid production vehicles. One important contributor to this is its ability to consider the regional electricity supply that is available for recharging- preferring recharging stations supplied with power from green sources such as wind or solar.
So far, plug-in hybrids are capable of emission-free electric driving only for short distances, while for long distances they are supported by their combustion engines. EtelligentEco offers a much-improved electric range with uncompromised performance during all-electric driving. An intelligent connected operating strategy combined with our dedicated hybrid drive, the DHD Eco, all play a decisive role in this.
