The latest dual engine setup from BMW, which is based on asynchronous engines (ASMS) and externally excited dubbing engines (EESMS), has taken care of some people. In particular, those in Norway who often rely on the skills with all -wheel drive to cross snow -covered parking spaces, snow -covered roads, snow -covered roads. Well, you get the point.
The problem is
Our Norwegian friends (and probably others) deal with the front engine in BMW’s new setup. It mostly acts as a supplementary source of power instead of being “always”. This leads to considering the reversal of the snow -covered conditions. As I said, in February reported: “An ASM does not require continuous electrical input, which means that it can remain inactive if the front-wheel traction is not required.” The journalist Fred Magne Skillebæk with Elbil24 claimed that the engine was usually not available for use in an opposite situation. Not ideal for those who usually fight slipy and snow -covered weather.
The advantages that this setup offers via permanent magnetic engines includes less energy consumption during regular driving and zero resistance if they are not used. But above all, there is also a precedent for Norwegian concerns. MG was only sued in Norwegian courts last month
BMW’s answer: will new engines conquer snow and ice?
Short answer: yes. We brought the concerns about BMW, which explained the following: The ASM on the front can do the entire work in a “reverse gear in snow and ice conditions”. Like many other parts of new class, the technical parts are unfortunately still under lock and key. But the statement certainly implies that the ASM is brought to life for the reversal of maneuvers, and these previous reports were inaccurate. But we can’t be sure. At least it ensures that BMW has considered the fact that many people always want all -wheel drive if they buy a car that advertises.
The new dual engine setup in the new class vehicles works in many of the greatest challenges in connection with sustainability and electrification. It would have been a little uncomfortable to waste all of these triumphs through a bit of icy weather. Fortunately, BMW seems to have taken everything into account.
