Status: Concept.

Purpose; Rear wheel drive vehicle conversion, for vehicles fitted with "Independent Rear Suspension"  (IRS). 

Many new and late model vehicles have independent rear suspension. Our concept is to replace the differential unit with a modified unit with an additional input shaft. An electric motor is attached to this to supply electric drive to the vehicle. All  conversion components are housed in the boot (trunk). The vehicle is now an electric hybrid vehicle with a normal full sized body. This conversion would be ideal for taxis or limousines.
