Vitesco Applied sciences has landed a €2-billion contract to produce its new era axle drive EMR4 (Electronics Motor Reducer) to Hyundai Motor Group. The order was already talked about in March at Vitesco Applied sciences’ annual press convention with out naming the shopper.
The extremely built-in 400 V/160 kW 3-in-1 unit will likely be utilized by the car Hyundai Motor Group in its international B/C-segment electrical car.
The electrical axle drive will likely be put in in Hyundai Motor Group’s international B/C-segment electrical car ranging from 2024.

EMR4 is a extremely built-in 3-in-1 drive platform consisting of an electrical machine, energy electronics and a gear field. EMR4 is the fourth era of axle drive, developed by Vitesco Applied sciences and follows the profitable EMR3. Via additional optimization measures, the usage of new applied sciences and complete industrialization know-how, the worldwide improvement crew succeeded in making the EMR4 platform much more environment friendly and highly effective.
The EMR4 delivers considerably larger energy scaling between 80 kW and 230 kW.

The silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors within the inverter of the drive platform, for instance, have performed a big position on this.
The brand new axle drive design helps a very excessive stage of scalability. With the EMR4, full car platforms and in addition totally different car segments may be outfitted with only one drive system. This was achieved by making use of a constantly modular method with well-defined interfaces and a design-for-manufacturing philosophy.
For our new electrical axle drive, now we have standardized the inner interfaces, whereas producing the best doable flexibility externally, in order that we are able to supply custom-made and on the similar time cost-optimized options.
