Nissan's third generation e-POWER powertrain
3 hours ago
- e-POWER is Nissan's electric-drive hybrid providing an EV-like driving experience with an onboard gasoline engine for energy generation.
- The third-generation system introduces a purpose-built engine optimized for constant-speed power generation and stable combustion.
- A 5-in-1 modular design integrates motor, reducer, inverter, increaser, and generator to boost output, reduce energy losses, and improve quietness through higher rigidity.
- Advanced components such as flat wire coils, a double-sided cooling inverter, and silicon carbide semiconductors enhance efficiency and fuel economy.
- The purpose-built long-stroke engine ensures stable combustion with high compression ratios and EGR rates via strong tumble flow.
- The ZR15DDTe engine uses the STARC combustion concept and a large turbocharger, with cold spray valve seat integration and shaped piston crown to further improve thermal efficiency and output.
