BMW ACTIVE HYBRID

Through the technologies of BMW EfficientDynamics combustion engines today are so economical than ever before. Going a step further, the BMW ActiveHybrid technology: it combines combustion engine and electric drive for even lower emissions, while maintaining the typical BMW driving dynamics.
BMW Active Hybrid 5
The BMW ActiveHybrid 5 BMW ActiveHybrid technology is explored with a view to the requirements of a dynamic mid-size sedan. A focus of the concept is on the forward-looking energy management. Here, among other things, Data processed for distance and the topography (steep inclines, levels). The vehicle then determines by itself, when it must be the mode in which to move in order to achieve maximum efficiency.
BMW ActiveHybrid X6
The BMW ActiveHybrid X6 combines developed in the Global Hybrid Cooperation two-mode active transmission, the engine simultaneously with two powerful electric motors. Thereby cause a power splitting planetary gear, thus permitting to control the power of the various motors is variable. This will change depending on demand between two modes: One mode is for start with high traction and low speeds available, the second for higher speeds. In this way, the power is optimally utilized depending on the driving situation. Fixed gear ratios within the two modes offer greater efficiency and at the same time more dynamic over the entire speed range. The two electric motors, both for accelerating and for recovering braking energy - are used - that is stored in the battery.
The BMW ActiveHybrid X6 combines the best of both worlds: It can be either fully electric, using only the power of the engine or by the combination of both drive sources are moved. Unusual is also the fuel consumption and emissions: You are up to 20 percent lower than a comparable vehicle with conventional drive.
BMW ActiveHybrid 7
The BMW ActiveHybrid 7 as is more efficient than an equivalent BMW 7 Series without hybrid technology, but more powerful than any other hybrid concepts in its class. At the same time he shows that the combination of electric motor and combustion engine is ideal for everyday use and comfort need not imply a renunciation.
