The CERV uses Quantum’s proprietary Q-Force technology – an all-wheel-drive diesel hybrid electric powertrain integrated on a purpose-built lightweight chassis.
The vehicle can maintain a speed of 80mph, ascend 60% grades and has a torque rating beyond 5,000lbft.
The diesel hybrid technology reduces the fuel consumption by 25% when compared with a conventional vehicle. In addition, the hybrid control system minimises battery size through optimised charge controls and regenerative braking.
