Lanchester of the Lanchester Motor Company in his workshop in Birmingham, England. It is now on display in Thinktank, Birmingham Science Museum.[1][2] The term "petrol-electric" denotes that the car was a hybrid vehicle, with both a petrol engine, at the rear, and an electric motor.[1] The latter was used for starting, reversing, and when extra power was needed, for example for climbing hills.[1] When traveling at speed, under petrol power, the electric motor acted as a generator, charging the battery.[1] The car has no clutch or gearbox.[1] The body and suspension are both made of wood.[1] The design never went into production.[3] After it had been driven for only {{Convert|757|mi|km}}, Lanchester abandoned the project.[1] References{{Commons category}}1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite web|url=http://www.birminghamstories.co.uk/story_page.php?id=4&type=fo&page=3&now=106 |title=Britain falls in love with the motorcar (2) |work=Birmingham Stories |publisher=Birmingham Museums Trust |accessdate=11 June 2015 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150612214935/http://www.birminghamstories.co.uk/story_page.php?id=4&type=fo&page=3&now=106 |archivedate=12 June 2015 |df= }} {{Thinktank, Birmingham}}2. ^Accession number: 1961S01404 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.birminghamstories.co.uk/story_page.php?id=4&type=fo&page=3&now=0|title=Britain falls in love with the motorcar (1)|work=Birmingham Stories|publisher=Birmingham Museums Trust|accessdate=11 June 2015}} 5 : Experimental vehicles|Prototypes|Hybrid vehicles|1927 in science|1927 in England |
