AVL’S HIGHLY INTEGRATED E-AXLE
FOR PASSENGER CARS
AVL develops highly integrated e-axle systems with a compact packaging of all e-drive components
(e-motor, transmission and inverter) which leads to high fl exibility for the vehicle design. In addition,
the e-axle improves the system effi ciency, cost and weight.
The existing e-axle concept facilitates high system performance and a low number of vehicle interfaces.
This enables optimal vehicle packaging fl exibility and system reliability. The modular arrangement
of the e-axle components allows individual adaptations to customer vehicle boundaries (including the
possibility of a family concept). It therefore ensures the lowest product costs and high system effi ciency.
YOUR BENEFITS
• The clean shape supports the re-use of the whole axle in different vehicle applications
• Light and robust system thanks to the high integration and the common housing
• Independent testing of the major sub-systems before the fi nal integration into the axle
• E-axle released for production thanks to AVL’s validation methodology (DVP, Load Matrix,
functional and durability testing on testbed and vehicle)
