THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

Thank you, we can't wait to a.) finish the off road camper of our dreams and b.) hit the back country as soon as we are allowed to travel again (currently we're in Corona lockdown in Austria). We'll keep you posted!

Hey - yes well spotted, we removed the tranie and connect the electric driveline directly to the X-case. It's a modified Tesla Model X motor with a 1:2 reduction bolted on at the end that connects with a short custom trans shaft you see in the image (So to be precise, we have 1320Nm torque (=660NM m...

Hi guys, we have more updates about our project. We've been testing the prototype, both on and beyond the tarmac, and we're glad to report that it thoroughly exceeds expectations. Lots of fun to play around in the rugged landscape around the workshop with a Pinzgauer that has >1000 Nm of torque, >40...

A quick update about our solar-electric conversion: while we're building the cabin and solar rig onto our 6x6, we're simultaneously developing the electric drive in a 4x4 - mostly to avoid bottlenecks. We're very excited about the prototype, which is now up and running. We're still fine tuning the s...

You're exactly right, hitting a range of over 300 miles would be a game-changer. The reason most EV conversions hover around the 200-mile marker in terms of range is that at some point the weight of any additional batteries actually reduces the efficiency and performance of the car IE carrying the w...

FYI We've started a new thread to introduce our project here: http://real4x4forums.com/PinzgauerBBS/v ... 713#p88713

Starting a separate thread for our project, as suggested by @VinceAtReal4x4s: We wanted to let you guys know that we are currently developing a solar-electric Pinzgauer. Right now, Hannes and Francois Duez (of AVS, France, AKA tech mastermind behind the electric Pinz) are burning the midnight oil to...

Thanks Vince, you hit the nail on the head exactly - the solar challenge is amongst the biggest ones on the project - since as you say, the few panels you'll fit ON a 712 won't get us far! So we have developed a solar system design that makes a massive 13Kw Solar System portable and flexibly deploya...

Hi Everyone! We wanted to let you know that we too, are developing an electric pinzgauer, and we have added an attempt to solar-power it for completely autonomous overland/offroad travel. We had also found EV West's amazing work (here on this forum!) when we had this idea last year, and instantly lo...
