A team of Romanian automotive specialists has created a modular hybrid concept that promises to offer a multitude of possibilities to the user, all packed in a futuristic design.
The SCI hyMod comes with a modular architecture that allows us to choose the desired propulsion pack, with the first choice being an electric motor, which delivers 65 hp and draws is juice from a battery pack, while it can also be fitted with a hybrid powertrain, which adds a 84 hp internal combustion engine to the aforementioned electric unit.
These power modules are interchangeable, with the creators also showing us an automated logistics center that can do this, the hyMod Station. To be more specific, the first module includes a 17 kWh battery pack, while the other includes the internal combustion engine, together with a CVT gearbox, a fuel tank and accessories.
The team, which is comprised of Dan Scarlat (automotive journalist), Marian Cilibeanu (designer) and Cristian Ionescu (engineer), promises that the vehicle offers an all-electric range of 180 km (118 miles) and a top speed of 130 km/h (81 mph), while the hybrid mode increases the values to 620 km (385 miles) and 170 km/h (105 mph).
