劳斯莱斯CEO Torsten Müller-?tv?s近日证实，车厂将推出插电混动车。他在日内瓦车展接受英国《Auto Express》采访时透露，插电混动车将“在两年内推出，这或许并非是由于客户需求，而是迫于汽车尾气排放方面的法规所限。”不过，这位高管表示，虽然车厂计划推出混动车，但并没有开发电动车的计划。他解释说，消费者在面对102EX原型车时“很矛盾”，那款车搭载了一台71千瓦时锂电池组合两台电机，综合输出功率为290千瓦/389马力，扭矩800牛米。这位高管表示，劳斯莱斯不会做出任何妥协，对于消费者而言，电动车无论充电时间还是续航里程都无法让人接受——而混动技术则不存在任何问题。
Rolls-Royce CEO confirms plans for plug-in hybrids
Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Müller-?tv?s has confirmed the brand will offer models with plug-in hybrid powertrains.
Speaking at the sidelines of the Geneva Motor Show, Müller-?tv?s told Auto Express plug-in hybrids will "be essential in two years, maybe not from customer demand but through legal regulation on emissions."
Despite embracing hybrids, Müller-?tv?s said there are no plans for electric vehicles. As he explained, customers were "ambivalent" when shown the 102EX prototype which featured a 71 kWh lithium-ion battery and two electric motors that produced a combined maximum output of 389 bhp (290 kW) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque. The executive went on to say "A Rolls-Royce cannot come with any kind of compromise, and both the recharging times and the range were not acceptable for our buyers – but with hybrid technology that is no longer a problem.”
