Technological capabilities behind the evolution of the e-Axle, the heart of EVs

Electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), and other electrically powered vehicles are on the rise. This trend is spreading to commercial vehicles as well. The electrification of commercial vehicles is being promoted to reduce environmental impacts, improve fuel efficiency, and enhance driving performance.

We have developed and commercialized the e-Axle, a drive unit that integrates a motor, reduction gear, differential, park lock, and drive shaft.

Applying technology developed through constant-velocity joints, a driveshaft structure was designed and adopted to achieve high performance while limiting the amount of heat generated.
It also supports large angles of intersection and changes in payload that are unique to trucks and other commercial vehicles.

In addition to basic testing of e-Axle, actual vehicle testing is also conducted to ensure that the actual driving performance is taken into account in the development of e-Axle. We are also adding and improving evaluation equipment as needed to confirm its practicality.
