What: Compact coaxial transmission for e-axle

Innovation: Schaeffler developed a transmission for e-axles that consists of a planetary gearset combined with a spur gear differential, in a shared housing with the e-motor A-shield. The packaging arrangement requires less space and delivers 30 percent more torque density than conventional transmissions. The improved efficiency also enables passive lubrication with a minimal amount of lubricant.

First customer: Audi e-tron
