The GKN Multimode dedicated hybrid transmission used as a front transaxle offers optimum performance in three different driving modes, with two different power sources:
"Pure EV mode: the vehicle’s front and rear axle are driven by the electric motors, the front motor being attached to the Multimode eTransmission. Energy is sourced from the battery
Series Hybrid mode: the combustion engine drives a generator to charge the traction battery on-the-go, whilst the car is still only driven by its front and rear electric motors
Parallel Hybrid mode: the combustion engine’s torque feeds through to the Multimode via a hydraulic clutch, which remains disengaged in both other modes. Front and rear motors then supplement the petrol engine. Battery charging still occurs too.
The Outlander is powered by two 60kW electric motors, one in the front and the other one in the rear. They are fed by a large capacity lithium-ion battery, while a petrol engine and generator are also fitted
