AUMOVIO, in collaboration with the Munich-based high-tech company DeepDrive, is pioneering a breakthrough in vehicle propulsion technology. By integrating an electric wheel hub motor with a friction brake, known as a Drive-Brake Unit, AUMOVIO is revolutionizing the automotive industry. This innovative approach not only enhances efficiency but also unlocks new possibilities for vehicle design and features.
Advantages of the Drive-Brake Unit
The Drive-Brake Unit offers significant advantages over traditional axle drives, making it an attractive option for OEMs across various vehicle segments:
- Up to 20% more energy-efficient than axle drives, leading to reduced battery size or increased vehicle range.
- Frees up valuable installation space between wheels, enabling creative vehicle concepts.
- Ideal for torque vectoring, enhancing vehicle agility and stability.
- Enables seamless brake blending during recuperation, enhancing driving efficiency.
Features of the Drive-Brake Unit
AUMOVIO's Drive-Brake Unit combines a highly efficient wheel hub motor with an integrated hydraulic brake in the first step followed by an electro-mechanical brake in the second step. It is designed for various vehicle segments:
- Utilizes a liquid-cooled, radial-flux, Dual-Rotor wheel hub motor with high torque density.
- Available in multiple voltage models, delivering competitive power on each wheel.
- Integration of innovative inverter with silicon carbide chips ensures space-saving design and high efficiency.
The Drive-Brake Unit represents the first step towards a fully integrated Corner Module.
