“The electric motors provide approximately two-thirds of the combined output, with the combustion engine accounting for the remaining third,” said Franz Drescher-Kaden, BMW concept engineer for the new petrol-electric hybrid set-up.

The new vehicle comes with a 20kWh lithium ion battery, and it features a smaller fuel tank of just 30 litres as opposed to a standard 70 litre tank.

The prototype comes with a total range of around 370 miles, and it is capable of around 62 miles on the electric engine on its own, this is due to a range extender function.

The new  BMW Power eDrive can be charged via the combustion engine in a steady state mode and also via the mains power with the plug in system.
