Automotive Design via GlobeNewswire October 10, 2023 at 09:00 AM EDT KISSIMMEE, Fla., Oct. 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ECD Auto Design (ECD), the world’s largest Land Rover restoration company famed for its custom Defenders, Range Rover Classics and Jaguar E-Types today reveals how its EV2 drivetrain system performs in offroading environments. Features including four wheel drive for muddy riverbanks, creep mode and regen braking for incline control and fast charging take ECD’s EV Defenders to the next level. “EVs are no longer just for city driving – they can do it all. Project Margaux is the perfect example of how ECD’s EV2 system can perform on par with, and in some cases better than, a traditional V8 engine,” said ECD CTO and co-founder Elliot Humble. Modern drivers also no longer need to worry about EVs performing in the forest, they come with four-wheel drive like any traditional engine build. Widespread chargers – including solar-powered stations right at trailheads – and ECD EV2’s increased ranges with a full battery reduce the headache of calculating when it’s time to turn around. Larger battery packs also offset any added weight from offroading upgrades such as a roll cage and make high-grade mountain roads inconsequential obstacles. Plus, for adventurers looking to become one with nature, an EV is a logical choice – a quieter drivetrain means more wildlife sightings. Project Margaux – color-matched to the client’s Aston Martin in a metallic red – exemplifies the next generation of off-roading EVs. The custom older Defender 90 features modern safety upgrades, including a black multi-point roll cage and custom steering guard, putting the wellbeing of the riders above all else. Sitting on BFGoodrich All Terrain tires and outfitted with ECD air ride suspension, the striking EV truck makes offroading a high-class experience. Other all terrain touches include the LED spotlight in the rear and a hitch receiver for trailers.
