Lotus to make engine for series hybrids

Range Extender Engine set for production by Lotus.

Collaboration between Lotus Engineering and Fagor Ederan will develop the Lotus Range Extender Engine for series production.

The three-cylinder, 1.2-litre Range Extender engine has been designed specifically for series hybrid vehicles and the production engine is said to offer a fast and cost effective route to market for manufacturers wanting to source a dedicated range extender.

The high efficiency engine will offer low emissions as already demonstrated in the Lotus Evora 414E concept car.
