Bentley believes in Octopus. That is, optimized components, tests and simulations, toolboxes for powertrains that incorporate very high speed engine solutions. You do that?
Probably not, so let’s explain it. The British luxury logo announced on Wednesday the Octopus program, which aims to produce a breakthrough in electric motors for long-lasting electric cars. According to the company, engineers have discovered a breakthrough in generating high-performance electric motors over the past 18 months, and now the Octopus program expects to produce genuine effects over the next 3 years.
According to the announcement, the program has a lot to do with electric motors that do not involve rare lands. The concept is to create a fully sustainable electric motor, especially for Bentley vehicles. And this engine should, if everything works according to plan, be incorporated directly into long-haul electric car platforms. In addition to durable materials, Bentley also stated that this potential electric motor would not require copper and that the entire unit would be completely recyclable after the car was deregistered.
Better yet, if the effects bear fruit as Bentley believes they will, the company hopes to put the effects into effect on the first Bentley EV planned by 2026.
Bentley plans to work on this task with nine other organisations in the UK. If successful, it seems the company believes it has a long-term plan for electric propulsion systems.
