BMW ActiveHybrid X6
The concept
Through the interplay of the combustion engine
and electric motors, your BMW ActiveHybrid X6
achieves a particularly efficient fuel consump-
tion and optimizes vehicle performance.
Components of the system
1 High-voltage battery
2 High-voltage wires: orange
3 Two-Mode Active Transmission with 2
integrated electric motors
4 Combustion engine
5 Control-system electronics
Do not damage orange high-voltage
wires. Otherwise, there is the risk of fatal
injury by electrocution.
<
The energy required to drive the electric motors
is stored in the high-voltage battery stored
under the luggage compartment floor in the
luggage compartment.
To produce electrical energy, the two electric
motors in the Two-Mode Active Transmission
function as generators. They are driven by the
combustion engine or by kinetic energy during
braking.
This permits an energy conversion of kinetic
energy into electrical current.
