DRIVE SYSTEMS FOR MORE DRIVING PLEASURE

Optimizing and integrating drive systems sustainably

Innovative drive systems open up new possibilities, but also bring new challenges. The EDAG Group develops future-oriented drive systems such as electric axles, including their power electronics, engines and transmissions, to increase the efficiency and SUSTAINABILITY of vehicles.


We not only develop new electric drive systems: We also optimize existing drive and high-voltage architectures and integrate our solutions seamlessly. The key to success lies in intelligent integration and in making older or hybrid systems future-proof. Our focused COMPLETE VEHICLE DEVELOPMENT approach means that we consider drive systems to be an integral part of modern vehicles and also integrate energy management, thermal management and other systems.

Our services for innovative drive systems:
 

  • Geometric integration of drives and transmissions
  • Development of e-drive mechanics incl. power electronics
  • Development of overall vehicle functions (crash, strength, NVH)
  • Housing development for transmissions
  • Acoustic development for engines and transmissions

We support you from the initial concept phase, system design and development, through extensive testing, to series production or integration of your solutions.

Topic overview


Innovative drive systems in holistically optimized vehicles

The EDAG Group takes an integrated approach to the development of modern drive systems. The interaction of all relevant systems is taken into account to ensure seamless integration of all components - from longitudinal dynamics to energy management and NVH optimization.

One focus of the complete vehicle development is on the precise coordination between the powertrain, chassis, aerodynamics and thermal management. These are monitored and optimized using targeted attribute management and the latest simulation techniques.

For you, this means:

  • Increased vehicle performance and
  • reliability
  • Shorter time to market.
  • Harmonized development of all vehicle components – from optimized energy consumption to improved driving dynamics.

Integration of future-proof drive solutions, transmissions and engines

The EDAG Group develops and integrates advanced propulsion systems and mechanical components into new or existing vehicle architectures. With our comprehensive know-how, we offer solutions for:

  • Electric drive systems
  • Power electronic systems
  • Transmission / transfer systems
  • Combustion drive systems
     

Our expertise also includes power electronics for electric vehicles with various motors – whether asynchronous or synchronous motors, permanent magnet or separately excited.

Increasing efficiency is at the center of our work – both in the integrated systems and in the development processes. Our modular design enables flexible adaptation to different vehicle concepts and increases efficiency by precisely coordinating all components.
