QinetiQ and NexxtDrive to co-operate on hybrid electric drives

June 28, 2007 It’ll be interesting to see what comes out of the newly announced collaboration between QinetiQ and NexxtDrive on hybrid drive technologies. Hybrid drive products and underlying technologies are relevant to QinetiQ’s work on improving the energy efficiency of military vehicles where the growing power demands of the sophisticated electronic systems used are in conflict with the military requirement for extended range and maximising operational capability, while operating away from logistical support. NexxtDrive’s transmission systems combine the functionality of continuously variable drives with powerful motor/generators and a look through the company’s patent portfolio means there’s a lot more synergy to be found once they start working together.
