Range Rover is pushing the boundaries of electric vehicle technology by subjecting its new electric SUV to rigorous testing in the harsh Arabian desert. These “Dynamic Desert Climbs” are taking place in the Al Badayer desert in Sharjah, where towering dunes, some reaching 300 feet, provide the perfect testing ground.
The electric Range Rover is designed to conquer these challenging terrains, demonstrating its ability to ascend steep dunes multiple times without compromising performance. A key focus of these tests is evaluating the efficiency of the vehicle’s thermal management system, which must operate effectively in extreme heat conditions.
Built on the new Modular Longitudinal Architecture, the electric Range Rover boasts a dual-electric motor powertrain, four-wheel drive, and an advanced terrain response system. It aims to match or even surpass the performance of its internal combustion engine counterparts, despite the additional weight of its electric drivetrain and battery pack.
One of the standout features of the electric Range Rover is its innovative torque management system. By reducing the torque reaction time at each wheel from 100 milliseconds to just 1 millisecond, the vehicle offers enhanced control and traction, particularly in challenging off-road conditions.
Having previously undergone testing in the frigid Arctic Circle, the electric Range Rover is poised to deliver the same “go anywhere, do anything” capability as its traditional gasoline-powered sibling. As more details emerge, we’ll keep you updated on this exciting development in electric vehicle technology.
