This paper presents results and learning from the real life development of a technology demonstrator vehicle "Axon60". Axon60 is a light-weight plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, part of the Low Carbon Vehicle Innovation Platform sponsored by the UK Technology Strategy Board and led by Axon Automotive Ltd in partnership with Powertrain Technologies Ltd, Scott Bader and WMG. The Axon60 uses a lightweight recycled carbon fibre structure, multi-fuel capable combustion engine and an electric motor to achieve fuel economy of over 100mpg over legislative drive cycles and less than 50g/km of CO2. The plug-in hybrid vehicle using a 2kWh battery pack is able to achieve 10 miles of electric only operation due to its lightweight aerodynamic design and highly efficient powertrain. This paper shares the experiences gained during the conceptual studies in light weight body structure development, driveline selection and prototype vehicle development.
