Tokyo, Japan- SUBARU CORPORATION and AISIN CORPORATION have announced a collaborative effort to jointly develop and produce eAxles for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) that SUBARU plans to introduce from the latter part of the 2020s. This collaboration will leverage the expertise and experience of both companies in vehicle and transmission development.
The shared objective of this joint development initiative is to create eAxles characterized by high efficiency, light weight, and compactness, aiming to deliver superior performance in various driving conditions. Additionally, SUBARU and AISIN will explore optimal sourcing strategies and production methods, considering the evolving landscape of the supply chain amidst the rapid electrification of vehicles.
SUBARU has outlined a roadmap towards 2050 with a commitment to fostering a carbon-neutral society, with a focus on accelerating electrification efforts. Meanwhile, AISIN is dedicated to realizing a carbon-neutral future through initiatives spanning both production processes and product development, with the eAxle project identified as a key priority. The collaboration between SUBARU and AISIN underscores their shared dedication to advancing technologies that support the transition to an electrified society.
Both companies will continue to explore opportunities for collaboration across various domains, aiming to contribute to the ongoing evolution of electrified mobility by delivering innovative products and technologies that reflect their unique capabilities.
An eAxle constitutes a propulsion system compactly integrating essential components for electric motor-driven vehicles, like BEVs, within an axle assembly. Its core elements typically include a gearbox, a motor, and an inverter.
