In-Wheel Motors

Could In-Wheel Motors Be Eco-Friendly? Advanced vehicle technologies are being developed each day and the drive to find new eco-friendly solutions may include the in-wheel motor. Recently a car manufacturer integrated a rear in-wheel motor system in its new vehicles and the power being transferred is proving quite efficient. Getting past developmental challenges is perhaps the hardest part of using new technologies. Are there any real advantages or benefits to using the in-wheel motor? Hybrid vehicles are just one of the forms of vehicles that can benefit from the in-wheel motor. Take any internal combustion engine and add the in-wheel motor and you are on the way to reducing the vehicles inefficiency related to transmissions. Finding a way to move power from the transmission to the motor and back again has been one of the hardest parts of creating efficient vehicles. Add to this the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and you have a great alternative to conventional vehicles. If you take a hybrid vehicle and add the in-wheel motor system, you end up with a high-performance vehicle. Some people compare the enhanced hybrid vehicle to taking a windup toy car and adding a gasoline engine but without the costs, pollution, and time that it would take to convert it. If you add the in-wheel motor system to an all-electric vehicle, you have the ability to remove the regular driveline apparatus and the weight that goes with it. This combination makes the electric vehicle a real asset to those who drive it. With the demand for electric vehicles on the rise, experimenting with new technologies is one way that car manufacturers are able to meet the demand of the public. With the addition of in-wheel motors, the demand for power is greatly reduced and the extra power can be diverted to other areas. Smaller engines are needed for vehicles with in-wheel motors. With smaller engines, new car designs can be created and designed that do not require the space of current vehicles. With more space available, current engines can become more efficient. Currently designed engines are fortunate to have 50% fuel efficiency due to the lack of space. Increasing the space can improve that number. If the vehicle design is allowed to change due to the extra space made available from using in-wheel motors, many other opportunities or options become available. In-wheel motors allow for an almost 95% efficiency in fuel consumption. Some people are looking at creating new ways to mount the wheels so that vehicles might one day be parked sideways without the need for parallel parking as it is done today. The lower the number of moving parts in a car will allow maintenance to be cheaper and easier to afford. There should be no doubt that the reduction of smog and greenhouse gasses in vehicles used on the road through the addition of the in-wheel motor is the best eco-friendly addition that can be included in the design and creation of the modern car. Consider the benefits of in-wheel motors and explore using one of these modified vehicles yourself.	Wheelmotor.com Wheel Hub Motors In Wheel Motors Hub Motors Electric Cars Hydrogen Cars
