Date: August 8, 2023Aurora, Canada– Magna International Inc., an auto components manufacturer has announced the start of production of a first-to-market, modular eDecoupling unit to support multiple battery electric vehicle (BEV) programs for a German premium OEM.
The eDecoupling is an electromechanical device that disconnects the e-motor from the driveshaft in electric vehicles when propulsion power is not needed, reducing energy consumption and increasing efficiency. It contributes to increased electric driving range of up to nine percent, a significant benefit for all EVs. This is achieved by reducing drag torque losses of the e-motor and gearbox while its eDecoupling controls software smoothly operates all shifting sequences.
Production of the new eDecoupling unit will be at Magna’s powertrain facility in Lannach, Austria.
Diba Ilunga, President Magna Powertrain said, “Our new and innovative modular eDecoupling unit aligns perfectly with OEMs’ in-house manufacturing strategies for electric drive systems. Due to the compact design of the unit, we’ve successfully minimized added package space and weight in both axial and radial direction, which has helped ensure that it can be scalable for use across electric and hybrid vehicles from B segment up to SUVs and LCVs.”
The modular eDecoupling unit presents various features for customers, including: superior NVH behaviour via powertrain controls; compact packaging; and a fast activation time of less than 100 milliseconds.
