At the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, BMW unveiled the BMW Concept X6 ActiveHybrid - a concept vehicle that showcases innovative BMW ActiveHybrid technology in the world's first Sports Activity Coupé. On the road, the BMW X6 Concept ActiveHybrid gives its competitors plenty to think about. The two-mode active transmission increases efficiency by around twenty percent and enables complete electric power driving. The underfloor protection panels front and rear are made of brushed aluminium, the rear underfloor panel moving out when required and covering the tailpipes of the BMW Concept X6 ActiveHybrid while driving on electric power only. Furthermore, the powerful rear, striking front view and clearly shaped contours emphasise the vehicle's modern elegance and athleticism which provides as much enjoyment as it does efficiency.
A key component of the BMW Concept X6 ActiveHybrid is its two-mode active transmission developed at the Global Hybrid Cooperation in Troy (USA). This innovative, two-mode technology enables the interplay between the electric motors and the engine to be varied according to the situation. It features two different transmission modes: one that ensures maximum torque when pulling away and in low-speed driving. And another that is optimised for higher speeds and bursts of acceleration - when overtaking for instance. Two-mode active transmission allows the BMW Concept X6 ActiveHybrid to get maximum performance and efficiency from its powertrain at all speeds.
The innovative, full hybrid, two-mode active transmission (1) is the main hybrid component of the BMW Concept X6 ActiveHybrid. The two-mode active transmission comprises power electronics (2) with an integrated inverter module and a high-performance battery (3). This combines the driving dynamics and efficiency of the combustion engine (4) and the electric drive system in an innovative, intelligent manner.
