Sophistication feel Nissan X-Trail Hybrid
Nissan X-Trail Hybrid has a different specification to the type of conventional machines which first marketed. Despite carrying a similar engine ie, MR20DD same 2.0L variant, but the technology and performance is much different.
One special feature is the hybrid variants possessed Intelellight Dual Clutch Control system first used in class. Nissan's technology development result is claimed to be super efficient, because only relying on one motor enables the wheels and electric charging simultaneously.
"The use of double clutch or dual cluth control is placed on the machine in different positions. One cluth between a gasoline engine with an electric motor, the other between the electric motor and CVT," said Mohammad Ikhsan Satriawinandi, Assistant Manager Product Planning Department Nissan Motor Indonesia ( NMI) to KompasOtomotif in Jatiluhur, Wednesday (04/11/2015).
How it works, when you're driving with the charging, connect the clutch position with the petrol engine to an electric motor and to the CVT, so the shaking machine at the same wheel electric motor powered by the engine. Meanwhile, when the gasoline engine and electric are providing power to the wheels, all the positions connected plus additional power from the electric motor.
No wonder when the rotation power of its 2.0L engine is more responsive than the X-Trail engine 2500 cc though. With one of the two transmissions operate separately from the machine, this allows the rider to use in high-speed EV mode and recharge.
When charging, such as being passed derivatives while pressing the brake pedal will change the indicator on the panel, which was the arrow toward the car turned toward the battery. This is because a spinning wheel directs the power to the battery and this happens because the position of the clutch connecting between CVT and electric motor.
One Motor Three Functions
Is different from the Toyota hybrid engine technology that uses two electric motors as well as to the performance in the respective systems, the Nissan X-Trail is only capitalized with one motor only. However, Chief Vehicle Engineer of Nissan Motor Company (NMC) Nabusuke Toukura are present in the media test drive sessions in Purwakata explained, although only one motor but has three functions so it is more efficient and practical.
"Nissan strives to provide the best technologies, with the electric motor can be used for three functions at once. From the starter, shaking the wheel until the charging of the generator. Setting usage at high speeds or when running constant even with only one motor, unlike products the other, separated by two motors, "he said.
