A modified version of Land Rover鈥檚 Terrain ResponseSystem has also been incorporated. The vehicles were developed by Land Rover鈥檚 Advanced Engineering Team following successful trials of the Defender-based electric vehicle, Leopard 1. The vehicles鈥?capability has been tested in extreme and environmentally sensitive conditions, demonstrating capabilities not shared by conventional road-going EVs. In keeping with Land Rover鈥檚 鈥楾read Lightly鈥?philosophy the smooth, low-speed capability of the electric drivetrain makes the electric Defenders especially well suited to climbing obstacles without damaging the ground unnecessarily. The battery weighs 410kg and is mounted in the front of the Defender in place of the diesel engine. Kerb weight is 100kg more than a basic Defender 110 and ranges from 2055kg to 2162kg depending whether the body style is a pick-up, hard top or station wagon. All the major components in the electric powertrain - including the battery, inverter and motor - are air-cooled rather than liquid cooled, saving a considerable amount of weight and complexity and adding robustness.
