LONGRUN at the Conference: Component Innovation for E-drives
Ford Otosan was attending the conference and gave a presentation mainly focused on “high level” challenges regarding implementing an e-axle for a heavy duty vehicle ( packaging, weight, power and what it takes to achieve high level targets cascaded to the eMotor that will be used in the design). The audience group was industry based experts.
The following topics were discussed:
- Benefits of e-axle drivetrain concepts for heavy duty vehicles within the scope of presentation.
- Packaging impact on vehicle architecture, especially impact for the battery assemblies.
- Design elements of an e-axle and possible design actions.
- Design packaging limitations as unit e-axle shown as below and impact of gearing and e-motor selection.
- Powertrain targets for unit e-axle design, e-motor selection and comparison.
