• Nach der Entwicklung eines sparsamen Demonstrationsfahrzeugs mit Dieselmotor und Brennstoffzellenfahrzeuge wurde ein Batteriefahrzeug entwickelt, das in Südafrika unter der Aufsicht von FIA-Ingenieuren 626,6 km fuhr, ohne dass die Batterie aufgeladen werden musste. Ein Demonstrationsfahrzeug des Japan Electrical Vehicle Club hielt den damaligen Weltrekordmit 555,6 km.
• In 2010 the Japan Electric Vehicle Club set the world record for the longest distance covered by an electrically powered vehicle without recharging its battery: 1003 km. This record was the challenge for the Schluckspecht-Team whose main aim has been to whittle down the energy consumption of vehicles.

This record was the challenge for the Schluckspecht-Team whose main aim has been to whittle down the energy consumption of vehicles. A new type of hub motors was developed, reducing the losses in the motor and enabeling new vehicle designs with improved aerodynamics. A new chassis structure was designed and developed, reducing the weight of the vehicle, as this structure is well adopted to the demand of an electric vehicle (relatively heigh battery mass compared to the overall mass of the vehicle). A test on the Bosch test circuit showed that this vehicle can even drive 1631,5 km (more than 1000 miles). The test was withnessed by the TÜV Süd.…
