Advanced range extender from ZF also offers direct drive

The Leapmotor D19 is the first to use ZF's advanced range extender technology, known as eRE+. Like the eRE, it is based on an electric motor with an integrated inverter, matching software, and planetary gearbox. While the eRE is designed purely as a power generator, the eRE+ also features an intelligent clutch and differential. This allows it to act as a secondary drive at times. Thanks to eRE+, car manufacturers can offer switchable all-wheel drive functionality and a boost without having to install separate components or incur additional development costs. The eRE+ used for the D19 has a generator output of 90 kW and a peak drive output of 200 kW. With ZF eRE+ technology, the SUV achieves a total range of more than 1,000 kilometers. The combustion engine used is not included in the scope of delivery from ZF.
