Smart eDrive

Last update: 02 Sep. 2024

What is a Smart Electric Drive (eDrive) ?

The Smart eDrive is a self oil-cooled electric axle combining an electric motor, inverter and reducer. The Smart eDrive is externally air-cooled and internally oil-cooled with the use of a smart oil pump. It doesn’t need any external cooling architecture, this is the particularity of this product.

As a consequence, it lowers the cost of the full system without compromise on the performances. The solution is designed for small electric vehicles but can also be used as secondary electric axle with a disconnect on hybrids as it can be used on a rear axle for All-Wheel Drive capabilities. This is a cost-competitive plug-and-play solution, easy to package, as there is no need to have a dedicated water cooling loop, resulting in less investment cost at system level.
