Electric vehicle (EV) drivetrain systems are being redefined — creating next-generation propulsion systems as the EV market rapidly grows. These systems will need to be further optimized for function, efficiency, battery range, and cost as the EV market scales.
This 30-minute Webinar will explore new solutions for multi-speed shift systems that can provide novel and flexible system solutions that allow for simplified controls and increased shift performance. These innovative solutions provide greater optimization for EV propulsion systems to meet the demand for improved performance and increased range.
Topics include:
- Multi-speed shift systems and the transition from ICE to EV drivetrains
- Needs for next-generation EV propulsion systems to improve vehicle range and performance
- Novel solutions for EV disconnect and shift systems enabled by new one-way-clutch technology
- Power-shift frictionless technology with integrated one-way-clutch functionality for optimizing efficiency and performance
An audience Q&A session will follow the technical presentation.
Speaker:
John Jennings, Director of Innovation and eMobility, Amsted Automotive
As Amsted Automotive’s Director of Innovation and eMobility, John Jennings focuses on aligning new technologies to meet emerging market needs and develop the paths to commercialization.
