Sorry I don't know about dacia. But the unit I have cannot have so many gears and the documentation that I found about it doesn't say also that there can be so many gears. The car where this driveunit came from was from 2021 car maybe they have developed new one? As I understand there is no need for a clutch, when changing petrol engine gears bigger electric motor drives the wheels. Maybe salesman described extra gears when both petrol and electric motor work together? Then it's possible to count them also as separate situation.

Hi there, I have a Renault Captur phev (btw the phev model has bigger electric motors, the bigger one is 50kw), the main motor is for traction only and the secondary smaller motor is starting the engine, matching engine rpm to change gears but it can also act as a generator. While in hybrid mode, up until 20-25kmh you can only use electric traction, but in the meantime if the car needs power, the gasoline engine will start (linked to 2nd motor but decoupled from traction) and the secondary electric motor will charge the batteries (approx NET ~8kw are going inside the batteries when charging)

Thank you for the question. I have seen both systems taken apart, seen the construction. I only have driven the car with the toyota hybrid system it was Auris. To answer your question I need to try the Renault car to see the difference, maybe need to rent clio hybrid because that would be almost same size like Auris. I remember I could drive the Auris here in estonia, at summertime on the highway 90km/h and get fuel economy 4,4l/100km. In city driving about 5.5l/100km

Thank you, will try to make more.

I wouldn't compare those two. And Renault couldn't copy Toyotas solution. Renault system should be more efficient because of manual transmission less gears are in contact then planetary gearsets in Toyota Hybrid drive. Actuation is done by two very fast electric motors. Has anybody driven the Renault e-tech is it smooth, is it possible to feel the gearcahnge? Is it loud when you floor it like Toyota is?

In this video I used sensorless 36V 350W e-bike controller this is enough to make it rotate without load. Right now it rotates already with Toyota inverter see my short video czcams.com/users/shortsBqjMEmB8KR8?si=8M5PVhu182aVyVd1

@@ruudman3 yes i Saw this video, great, do you have a elettric plant for the collegament on inverter?

@@user-gj2ko9hr2o sorry I don't understand your question. Inverter will be powered by battery in this test I used power supply.

Thank you. I believe it's a very long oil change interval because there are no wearing parts like synchronizers. Thanks for the tip about renault manuals I'll try to find where to get access.

I have no idea, there are very few PHEV renaults in my country.

yes, much fabrication needed.

You are welcome!

Thanks, It took much trying and fitting and now when it works, I have a better idea and I need to redo it.

Thank you. Will make more videos when I get the inverter for it next year!

I was gong to buy a Dacia Hybrid but this has put me off.

@@fivish I wonder why? Does the dacia hybrid use the same driveunit? Have you testdriven the car?

Good question! I don't know. When I start the car SRS light lights up and doesn't turn off like it was before, it takes many minutes.

Thanks, wish you luck for your EV project!

Yes there are usual bolts to drain oil and fill and check the gearbox oil level.

Just first kilometers around the garage with electric motor. All the usual EV specs that the Mitsubishi i-MiEV had: motor 49kW max power, 170Nm, RWD. No gearbox, drive unit installed to the rear axle of mercedes. Range with one charge unknown, not yet road legal, maybe next year.

@@ruudman3 Wow that’s very impressive. I have a NAG 722.6 tranny in a c230 with 2.3l m111 N/A that I plan on getting a standalone controller for. Then pulling the block and installing the motor directly to the transmission just like stock and while retaining original electrical components. Been looking at getting the 722.6 to Tremec LS USA transmission adapter. Then back down to a LS motor mount. Than attach the electrical motor to the transmission with adapter for a stock feel. Remove gas tank and other ICE parts. And start swapping in brackets and wiring for EV system.

@sourcey6620 Electric motors don't need transmission. If you really want to use transmission then maybe consider hybrid RWD lexus transmission. It's an elegant solution because it has integrated two electric motors. For more information see openinverter.org

@@ruudman3 awesome I’ll check that out :O

It's DB1.010 M003728

Thank you I need it to know the time and it wakes me up in the morning, that's it I don't need the smart stuff there is enough smart things and people around me! I bought the watch for 19.90€ from web shop I believe it's original. I have been using this model since 1995 (at the moment it's third).

There is no 6-th gear. There is two gears for engine and 2 gears for electric motor. Both gearbox parts also have neutral.

​ Are you sure? I understood there are four gears which are connected to both electric motor and internal combustion engine. As per the absence of a clutch 1st gear is only for the electric motor till 25 km/h. Is that correct?

@@stefanobalistreri8349 I am not sure because I haven't seen the car that has this transmission. I just have rotated the input shafts by hand and now also run the electric motor like in this video. Also I tried to engage all the available gears mechanically. I think and it's clear that both, internal combustion engine and electric motor can be connected to output halfshafts. Electric motor has also two gears and a neutral thats my impression about the system. Now I am on vacation in the autumn I'll be connecting the new inverter to it and an higher voltage battery 72V for starters, then we'll see what speeds are possible.

I'm on vacation right now I'll try to remember to test and read the revolutions, if theres no answer please remind me.

I'll order Toyota yaris inverter and get the electric motor running. I switch in gear so that remove the gearchage unit and put in gear by hand. I think I don't have to change gears at all for this buggy where we will install the motor.

Thank you!

Yes that car is now incredibly good to drive. It wasn't bad as petrol car but now it is even better! Nicer, smoother acceleration, better noise insulation better suspension then the motor and battery donor car i-MiEV.

​@@ruudman3great. I'm just about to get my BMW E91 conversion on the road. Excited to test it out

Thanks, when something new happens with this I'll post new video.

Thanks, I hope I can go ahead with this at the end of the year.
