Vitesco Technologies is supplying its integrated axle drive EMR3 (3rd generation, Electronics Motor Reducer) to Honda for its new B-segment all-electric SUV. In Europe, this vehicle, based on Honda’s new e:N Architecture F, will be marketed under the name e:Ny1.
The E-drive is a 3-in-1 unit integrating power electronics, an electric motor, and a reducer. It is the third generation of the company's integrated axle.
Thomas Stierle, Member, Executive Board and Division Head, Vitesco Technologies’ Electrification Solutions, said, “It is an honor for us to deliver our successful electric axle drive to Honda for its new e:Ny1 model. We also see this business as a confirmation of our global strategy with well-established manufacturing and R&D sites in core world markets.”
Despite its compact dimensions and low weight of only 76 kg, the axle drives for Honda achieve a peak output of 150 kW and 310 Nm of torque. This specification allows e:Ny1 to reach a limited top speed of 160 km/h.
