Starting from an Alpine A110, TEC E MOUV designs a globally unique hybrid architecture combining ethanol thermal power and high-power electric propulsion.
An extreme challenge: integrating a complete electric powertrain within an ultra-compact chassis without compromising the vehicle's dynamic DNA.
Reinventing the sports car in the era of decarbonization
Automotive performance enters a new era: emission reduction, advanced hybridization, partial or total electrification.
But for sports vehicles, the equation is more complex: preserving agility, mastering weight, keeping driving sensations, and integrating new powertrains.
Where most projects make compromises, the Alpine HE2HP enforces another approach: increasing performance without degrading the vehicle's DNA.
Decarbonization must not be a constraint. It can become a lever for performance.
A radically redesigned hybrid architecture
TEC E MOUV designs an unprecedented architecture, thought of as a complete system:
-
Optimized ethanol thermal powertrain (rear axle)
-
100% electric powertrain (front axle)
-
Custom high-performance battery
-
Intelligent torque control between both engines
An axial hybridization, where each axle becomes an independent source of propulsion.
The engineering challenges
Alpine HE2HP: a hub of mastered extreme challenges
Integration into an ultra-compact chassis
Creating functional spaces to the millimeter to integrate the battery, power electronics, and motor without compromising the original architecture.
Dual-powertrain hybrid architecture
Thermal at the rear + electric at the front: a configuration requiring perfect synchronization of both power sources.
Immersed custom 24 kWh battery
Designing of a compact battery (~99 kg), integrated between the seats and cooled by dielectric liquid to maximize thermal performance.
Mastery of weight and center of gravity
Only +17% mass increase (1,265 kg total) despite the full addition of the electric powertrain .
Balance optimization: shifted from 40/60 to 45/55.
Specific hybrid onboard HMI & data
Creation of an interface allowing real-time visualization of temperatures, energy flows, range, and system states.
Track fine-tuning
Dynamic track validation: handling, endurance, thermal management, and global performance.
