Tecnam P-Volt Electric Commuter<br />
Tecnam P-Volt all-electric, twin electric motor, Short and Medium Range passenger aircraft design concept<br />
In October 2020,TECNAM formed a partnership with Rolls-<br />
Royce and major worldwide aviation players, including<br />
North American and European airlines for the development<br />
of the P-Volt: an all-electric, twin electric motor, Short and<br />
Medium Range passenger aircraft, designed for maximum<br />
versatility and safety, powered by renewable energy. TEC-<br />
NAM and Rolls-Royce are already in partnership with the<br />
H3PS project: a parallel hybrid electric version of the P2010<br />
four-seater, pairing the electric motor from Rolls-Royce with<br />
a combustion engine from Rotax.<br />
The P-Volt will benefit from TECNAM’s achievements in the<br />
P2012 Traveller 11 seat category aircraft. The P-Volt will be<br />
the first commercial9 passenger, cargo, medical evacuation,<br />
and special mission aircraft to be electrified directly by the<br />
manufacturer, raising TECNAM’s “DREAM concept” (Durability,<br />
Reliability, Employability, Affordability,& Manageability)<br />
to a new, unrivalled level of efficiency.<br />
The TECNAM P-Volt propulsion system and avionics, engineered<br />
to lift the world to sustainable energy along with the<br />
Clean Aviation roadmap, will be specifically targeted at commercial<br />
operations. All-electric motors, avionics, heating, air<br />
conditioning and state-of-the art de-ice/anti-ice systems, will<br />
provide fully sustainable and pollution-free transportation.<br />
Dedicated battery technology will ensure full power availability<br />
for quick turnaround times between landing and takeoff.<br />
The benefits of the propulsion system also extend to reducing<br />
the aircraft’s operating costs and noise emissions<br />
for a more accessible and comfortable transportation system<br />
that will elevate the air travel operations worldwide to<br />
new heights. 4<br />
P-Volt is based on Tecnam’s P2012 Traveller 11 seat commuter airplane<br />
