Staggeringly high torque (up to 2000Nm) of the Turbo-Electric drive system

Please forgive the quality of the video, but this is where the engine is ran against the foot brake almost fully on to measure the eye-watering amount of torque put out by the electric drive

This is really unfair since electric motors put out huge amounts of torque at low speeds, which piston engines are simply not capable of doing, not even diesel engines which are used in trains can apply these huge amounts of torque.

In diesel electric trains they use a generator and motor as an electric transmission, and seeing the massive torque that electric drive systems like the one being developed here, you can see how it makes alot of sense.
