Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Rolls-Royce 102EX has a car that represents one of the most important initiatives by the company in recent years. First, it is the battery in the world of electric vehicles for the ultra-luxury segment and continues a tradition of experimental cars that pass through generations of models.
Rolls-Royce produces cars that represents the pinnacle of luxury cars, the most demanding customers in the world. But the company also recognizes the need to look ahead and plan for sustainable growth over time. Investigated alternative powertrain options is an important step in this process.
With Rolls-Royce 102EX, which is also known as the Spirit experimental electrical (EE) is the company's intention to thoroughly test the opinions and reactions of different powertrain options with a wide range of stakeholders, including owners, fans, members of the public and the media.

Through a ghost EE 2011 is working test, where the owners, VIPs, media and fans the opportunity to experience the proven technologies of transmission alternatives, and feedback on their experiences, thoughts and concerns directly.
Bank's global research collected to run the program, which includes Europe, Middle East, Asia and North America are the alternatives for the decisive drive-train, the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
There are no plans to build a production version of this car. Phantom EE role is as a test that is designed to explore the technologies BEV set to ask and answer questions.
EE Phantom can provide an acceptable range for frequent customers, without reloading? Is confidence in their ability to function in extreme conditions? Reliability and quality are in line with the expectations of the highest record of the car?
Phantom EE also raises more fundamental questions: is an all-electric traction can provide an authentic experience of Rolls-Royce for customers, an experience that really suits the brand?
About all electric or other alternative powertrain option is good for Rolls-Royce becomes clearer when the test program is completed by the end of the year.
Rolls-Royce 102EX - Phantom EXPERIMENTAL ELECTRIC (EE)
Reinventing is a part of being timeless and EE Phantom is the latest in a series of experimental vehicles from Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. It draws on a heritage that dates back to 1919 and 1EX.
Experimental models used to test and evaluate new technologies and applications that could shape the future of Rolls-Royce products. Unlike a concept car, Rolls-Royce models are still fully functional experimental vehicles, manageable using concrete materials such as wood, leather and metal instead of clay and foam or other items.
They say engineers and designers with the possibility of real innovations, and is used not only to introduce new components and techniques, but also for their evaluation.
The last of this line of pilot projects have begun with a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a surprisingly modern and impeccably car proportions in the high-tech and labor-labor combine to produce something extraordinary.
Phantom EE features car chassis aluminum breakthrough space, so important to the dynamic performance, and the feeling of peace and tranquility enjoyed by the residents. However, the naturally aspirated 6.75 liter V12 petrol engine and 6 speed gearbox was replaced by a lithium-ion battery and two electric motors mounted on the rear subframe. These engines are connected to a gearbox with integrated differential unique.
Each engine is rated at 145kW, giving Phantom EE a maximum power of 290kW and 800Nm of torque available over a wide band. This compares to 338kW for the standard Phantom with a maximum torque of 720Nm at 3,500 rpm delivered.
Chemical nickel cobalt manganese battery contains about 230Wh/kg, high energy density that is important to achieve an acceptable level of re-payments. Pre-launch tests suggest the ghost EE should be running a range of up to 200 km. Wave stress torque, 0-60mph achieved in less than eight seconds (5.7 seconds, a standard phantom), with a top speed limited to 160kph.
This is the first application of technology in a segment of GKL + + (super luxury cars priced at more than € 200,000) and the battery is believed to be the largest ever mounted on a street car.
Technology assessment is an important part of the test program. But more fundamentally the car will seek answers to questions asked by the owners of Rolls-Royce: what are their future needs for such factors as the scope, performance and charging infrastructure.
The feedback from customers - and interest groups, media and fans, through the website www.electricluxury.com - is indispensable to evaluate the appropriateness of the electric battery technology for Rolls-Royce.
It will help inform a decision on whether all-electric or other alternative powertrain technology that is most appropriate for best cars in the world in the future.
DESIGN

"This is a credible concept perfectly complements the experimental nature of the car to explore the possibilities of light, space and the use of materials if we changed the overall appearance, would have lost the concept of credibility, our audience guess he was just a style. the reality of the exercise is that it is an experimental vehicle in its truest sense, challenging perceptions, feelings and values -. and explore alternatives powertrain technologies "- Ian Cameron, Chief Designer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
102EX is the famous character of Rolls-Royce Phantom, which it is based, such as craftsmanship, fine details and design elements as the iconic grille and Spirit of Ecstasy Fame, which celebrates its anniversary in 2011. But the core of its design is the essence of an experimental vehicle, to establish the status of this car as a test bed, while a subtle allusion to its power plants.
The design creates a different aesthetic, to experiment with the interior space and materials and fittings and lighting. These are organized around functional considerations of a battery electric Rolls-Royce - how the car is likely to be used, and the changes that technology brings in terms of interior and exterior details. Naturally, these changes are made in a way that confirms the power of the car like a Rolls-Royce.

Recharging is done with a five-pin plug and replacing the normal mechanism fueling Phantom.The CAP standard was replaced by a design with a transparent window that shows the RR logo and pattern 102EX. Batis rear LED lights forming load condition of the car.
At startup, the plug bathed in blue light. It flashes to start charging. When fully charged, the screen turns green, then flashes green as the solenoid is deactivated. A potential error in the system is indicated by blinking or red light.
The load can be stopped by a switch next to the pin. The process can also be operated in the vehicle using the controls available on the center console, for example when charging by induction is performed.
DETAIL center console
A key identifier for EE Phantom is the design of the center console to load and display, located below the center armrest. A switch to start and stop the load, while the screen itself has a shelf with a bright image of a battery, illuminated by LEDs.
Reflects the lights used at the point of external load, this picture changes color depending on the state of charge of the car. A watch battery blue illuminated the vehicle is not standard on the pulse while the blue indicates that the inductive charging process takes place.

CORINOVA SKIN
"Rolls-Royce, we are proud to produce an authentic and natural products for customers, whose quality is unmatched. Corinova Seton is an experimental vegetable tanned leather, which allows us to celebrate the curves, wrinkles, and other features that are integral part of the life of the animal. This is the cutest process, which extends our understanding of the Rolls-Royce Owners design expectations will prove to be a fascinating tour of reactions "-.. Andrew Monachan, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Managing Director, Leathershop.
Plywood interior Phantom current owners with single grain, patterns and details to add weight to the fact that each model leaving Goodwood is as unique as the fingerprint of its owner. Phantom EA takes this concept a step further.
The skin is the natural process of vegetable tanning crosses were Corinova. This gives rise to the machine, adding a definition of the seats, the floor, and arms.
Most of the leather product for automotive applications is chrome tanned. This is an important element that helps to stabilize the animal skins and transfer of collagen fibers of leather. The process of a barrel of dye used to color leather interior Phantom gives a rich, uniform pigmentation, while retaining the natural softness.
An experimental leather Corinova the distinction of being totally free of chromium. It begins with a preparation of Glutardialehyde to prepare for the tan. Chestnut, sustainable comes from southern Europe and powder Tara Tara Bush crushed fruit in South America used to drum colored yarn. The fruit is harvested without damaging the plant and the product is finished with a combination of natural binders, and high-tech polymer.
The process is suitable only for certain colors of earth - in the case of Phantom EE for a brown seat covers and Quebracho Brown in other areas as the floor and lining the chest, both of which are made of leather Seat sustainable.
Differences as well as aesthetic, Corinova skin has a number of practical advantages. It uses less paint than normal chrome leather and creates less waste. It denies the use of gasoline and refined products continues to develop, it might be possible to use recycled leather Corinova aerate the soil for agriculture.
Rolls-Royce, fully expects to challenge perceptions and first impressions undoubtedly closely the issue of the characteristics that define the lives of animals are clearly visible in areas such as seats and armrests, as the Phantom in domestic production. Change in high-end leather applied to the Phantom can mean a compromise for some owners, but others may be the hallmarks of the Welcome section of the individual models Rolls-Royce Phantom more and more.
Comments and to identify the owner, leather will be tested for durability and performance, after several months of touring.
Upholstery panels
Interior Phantom is the EE differs from traditional wooden sets that define most of the cars delivered to customers, providing a single end of the car. It has a distinctive interior with aluminum foil cards that raises environmental contrasts dramatically darker than the interior in natural leather. As is the case Corinova skin, the goal is to challenge traditional perceptions can be a Rolls-Royce design system.
BATTERY
Phantom EE suspected of having the car battery the largest in the world. Peak current 850A, 338V DC powered. The total capacity is 71kWh.
The package consists of cells of large size bag MR. NMR (lithium-nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide) is a variant of the lithium-ion chemistry that has very high energy and power.
Phantom EE battery module houses five cells, 38 cells of the module, the module of 36 cells, and smaller than three, ten, eight and four arranged in different orientations within the irregular shape of the machine. This is similar to the general shape of the original engine and transmission.
Each of the 96 cells for further testing before installing the modules to define their characteristics and capabilities. Subsets were further tested under load to verify that the connections between each cell to perform an analysis.
Electronic identification units for each group of cells has been tested and calibrated before installation and through rigorous system of temperature cycles is intended to cause the failure of weaker parties. The electronic box, which contains the wiring and control equipment have been tested in isolation from other components to ensure proper operation.
Three separate load units (3 kW each) are equipped with battery, allowing two-phase (20 hours) or three load steps (8:00) for a car that is unique. A fourth induction charger is also equipped to allow wireless charging technology is being tested in U.S. Phantom.
The battery is expected to last more than three years should be used every day. Part of the program, however, will test this hypothesis in a real environment and provide a more robust response to the question of battery life.
Charging by induction
Concerns about the lack of charging infrastructure available in the cities is well documented and critical automotive electrical identified additional hassle of cables connected between the towing power and vehicles.
Present owners of Rolls-Royce with a vision of a possible solution to these problems is the EA Phantom test a technology called charging by induction. This helps to recharge the battery to take place without any physical connection, it offers more comfort for owners and hinted at the possibility of a network of loading facilities.
There are two main elements to support induction, a transfer buffer because it provides power to a power source and a buffer induction in the car assembled in the U.S. battery Phantom. Power spectrum is magnetically coupled through the energy transfer pads.
The system is about 90 percent effective when measured from the mains supply to the battery, and is tolerant to displacement parking. For example, it is important to adapt the transceiver and platelets Phantom precise loading will take place. While platelets are capable of transferring power over gaps of up to 400mm, the separation Phantom EE is about 150mm.
The coupling circuit is set by adding capacitors. Pick-up coils in the pavement receiver is magnetically coupled to the primary coil. Power transmission is achieved by optimizing the coil pick-up for the operating frequency of the primary coil with a series or a capacitor in parallel.
Pickup driver is an integral part of the technique, because it takes power to the pad receiver and battery provides controlled output. And 'required output, which will remain regardless of the load and the different pads. Without control, the tension rise as the gap, and calculate the load current increases.
The transmitter buffer was built to protect the magnetic fields to prevent EMI and transient evacuation system works well internationally agreed.
Electric cars and fathers of Rolls-Royce
Charles Rolls, Henry Royce, Claude Johnson played their role in the electrical revolution which provides for the creation of internal combustion engines, engine technology as the dominant car.
Henry Royce had developed a career as an electrical engineer before switching accomplished expert hands of your car.
His company FH Royce and Co., which began selling light and simple set wrong in the 1890s, became rich through the design and delivery of dynamos, electric motors and industrial cranes. Royce numerous innovations include the patent for the bayonet, a concept that continues today.
Royce was a customer, Pritchett and Gold, the company founded in Feltham in Middlesex. In addition to the production of the batteries had developed a two-seater electric car, at least one of which was powered by an electric motor Royce.
The Honourable Charles Rolls has also played with the electric motor sports in the years before the two men met. He had negotiated to sell the rights for Brougham Electric by CS Rolls & Co., in Conduit Street in London, who later established exclusive rights to sell Rolls-Royce models.
It is likely that this car was part of the city and the proposed commuter electric car, a joint venture of two men of Paris and singer Claude Johnson. The project was short-lived and Johnson left to join the growing company of the Rolls, more recently, taking the role of CEO of Rolls-Royce. He became known as "the hyphen in Rolls-Royce," a central role in its success.
Charles Rolls was recorded describing the merits of the electric drivetrain - and it raises concern about premonitory range and recharge. In his view, a model named Columbia as the best in class, commenting on the Automotive Journal:
"They are completely clean and quiet There is no odor or vibration, and should be very useful when using a base station to recharge can be held but I do not expect to use them is much more dependent -... At least for many years come "
Later, when the first export of gas at Rolls-Royce models were made in America, some authorities have refused to believe that they were not electric, because of their legendary quiet operation.
In the silence of the 21st century remains a key signature for Rolls-Royce. Other attributes of the all-electric drive trains also alludes to the famous Rolls-Royce features. Low-speed power is an example.
Thank you to improvements in battery technology, it is possible that the maintenance, Rolls and more than a century ago, is now sufficiently developed to re-visit all the electric cars as a possibility.

Charles Rolls was recorded describing the merits of the electric drivetrain - and it raises concern about premonitory range and recharge. In his view, a model named Columbia as the best in class, commenting on the Automotive Journal:
"They are completely clean and quiet There is no odor or vibration, and should be very useful when using a base station to recharge can be held but I do not expect to use them is much more dependent -... At least for many years come "
Later, when the first export of gas at Rolls-Royce models were made in America, some authorities have refused to believe that they were not electric, because of their legendary quiet operation.
In the silence of the 21st century remains a key signature for Rolls-Royce. Other attributes of the all-electric drive trains also alludes to the famous Rolls-Royce features. Low-speed power is an example.
Thank you to improvements in battery technology, it is possible that the maintenance, Rolls and more than a century ago, is now sufficiently developed to re-visit all the electric cars as a possibility.
