| Leapmotor Relies on Range Extenders from ZF |
ZF has won its first customer order for its advanced eRE+ range extender technology: Chinese automaker Leapmotor will offer a version of its premium SUV D19 with a range extender from ZF starting in 2026. In standard range extender operation, i.e., generator mode, a combustion engine drives the electric motor, charges the high-voltage battery, and thus extends its range. The eRE+ technology also offers switchable all-wheel drive via the front axle and, with a drive power of up to 200 kW, provides an additional boost for overtaking maneuvers.

What human operators once found tiring—or at least tedious, the robot performs flawlessly, hour after hour, even long after its flesh-and-blood coworkers have gone home for the evening.
