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.
