Lithium Technology Corporation Powers Hybrid Electric Supercar
"We are pleased to co-sponsor the first hybrid electric version of the Apollo, produced by Gumpert in
The hybrid Apollo will use a 3.3 liter V8 bi-turbo petrol mill with a 100kW electric motor. The 9kWh GAIA(R) battery will be made of 90 high power 27Ah cells connected in series and will weigh about 190 kilograms. The battery will include an advanced battery management system (BMS) that will transmit battery performance data via satellite for monitoring and enhance performance control of the technical team. The battery will be charged prior to the race and recoup energy from braking during the race, in a mode that resembles a plug-in hybrid electric operation (PHEV). The electric range of the vehicle will be 50 kilometers, and plans are to double it in the near future.
"Motor sports cannot ignore the necessity to save energy. I see a chance that our sport will go back to the forefront of technical development, making cars outside of the racetrack much more energy efficient," commented Mr. Frentzen. "We are happy to work with the professional team at LTC, who provide us with the most advance and reliable battery solution that meet our stringent racing demands."
"With this car and this race, LTC has once again proven the superiority of its battery technology that is currently available to the selected customers," commented Brandt. "We are not only making a statement about our products, but put them to use in the most demanding applications in the transportation, defense and stationary markets to showcase our ability to answer the growing demand for safe and reliable lithium-ion batteries."
From racetracks to highways, to the depths of the ocean and up into space, LTC is powering the world in extraordinary ways. The Company manufactures a range of cells with two different types of chemistries, iron-phosphate and nickel-cobalt. Both chemistries coupled with the company's innovative end-to-end manufacturing processes and proprietary design and assembly techniques, allow LTC to provide large high performance cells and batteries unmatched by any other product.
