high voltage inverter. The system's power ranges from 60 to 90
kW. Its Mid includes a gearbox, a PSM e-machine with 90-160
kW power and an inverter. It can be utilized as a primary axle
for battery electric vehicles or as a secondary axle for full hybrid
and battery electric vehicles. Its High system is a powerful
electric axle drive. With its 160-250 kW power PSM e-machine,
inverter, and a torque-vectoring optional gearbox to meet the
demands for high performance battery electric vehicles.
