The use of motor wheels
The Tilter has two motor wheels located on the inside of the rims of the rear twin wheels. The advantages are huge :
- A breathtaking gain in space
- Unparalleled energy efficiency (>91%)
- A power train reduced to its most simple form (no transmission or differential)
- Used in a right-left differential torque, the motors help guarantee vehicle stability
- Powerful engine brake, coupled with "natural" regenerative braking: more than 20% of the energy is thereby recovered when braking
These motors are sufficiently powerful to allow the Tilter to leave a garage slope with a 15% gradient or to climb a 7% slope at 60 km/h with a full load.
