Powering the Future of Mobility
Improving EV Powertrain Performance
Electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) are recognized internationally as part of our path to a more sustainable future. Electric powertrain technology is critical to designing lighter, more efficient electric cars – and ultimately, the widespread adoption of EVs. Engineers are approaching propulsion system design for EVs in a number of ways. Depending on the design goals of a particular manufacturer, the ideal electric powertrain for an EV may be an Electric Drive Unit (EDU), Electric Drive Module (EDM), or one or multiple eAxles (also known as electric axles). While these systems differ in the specific components involved and the level of integration required, the engineers designing them are facing similar challenges.
