The system is called the Ultra Lightweight Range Extender (ULRE), and is being developed by Jaguar and a consortium. The axial-flow gas turbine engine couples to a high-speed generator for use with the Jaguar Land Rover.

Axail-flow technology enables the production of highly efficient, small gas turbine engines that are ideally suited for use in hybrid electric vehicles.
