Range Extender
One exceptional feature of the MAHLE range extender engine is its compact dimensions. With a width of 416 mm, depth of 327 mm, and height of 481 mm, it is about the size of a carry-on bag for an airplane. With a mass of less than 70 kg (including the generator), it fits easily into the package and weight distribution concept of the automobile manufacturers. Another advantage is that the engine does not need to be installed in the conventional manner. Any and all installation configurations are possible, from 0° (vertical) to 90° (horizontal).
