Gordon Murray Design announce the
Specification and Performance Targets for the T.27 City Car, a pure
electric drive vehicle designed to fully optimise packaging, weight and
performance. The announcement marks an exciting leap forward in
efficiency for electric vehicles and working closely with their
powertrain partner, Zytek Automotive, a brand new, innovative,
lightweight and fully integrated electric motor, control system and
battery will be designed to ensure that maximum efficiency is achieved.
Projected emissions, using a UK energy
mix, are 48g/km CO2 for the combined cycle and 28g/km CO2
for the urban cycle alone, with zero emissions at the point of use.
Full lifecycle CO2 damage will be 42% less than the average
UK car.

The T.27 vehicle concept closely
follows the layout and geometry of Gordon Murray Design’s innovative
T.25 city car, an MPV with 6 possible internal layouts.
The efficiency in cost, weight and
performance comes in part from the ‘clean sheet of paper’ approach, part
from the full integration of the powertrain and also from the low energy
manufacturing system developed by Gordon Murray Design called iStream®.
iStream® massively reduces the capital
investment required to produce the vehicle and also the energy required
for manufacture plus the flexibility of the iStream® process would also
allow the petrol powered T.25 and the T.27 to be manufactured at the
same plant. |
