ePOP for a New Electric Sportscar Powertrain Architecture

How ePOP Allowed a New Electric Supercar OEM to Optimise the Electric Drive Unit Family

Project Objective

• The customer was a new electric vehicle start-up.
• The customer is developing their own eAxles to power their vehicle.
• The customer wanted to know - What is the best powertrain architecture for our new vehicle?

Outcome and Customer Benefits

• DSD worked with the customer to agree the definition of “Best Powertrain Architecture”.
• DSD analysed 1,000s of potential powertrain architectures and down-selected the 2 best eAxles.
• DSD delivered a ePOP post processing tool for the customer to demonstrate internally.

Timeline

• Setting up all 3 in 1 sub-systems and simulation – 4 weeks.
• Analysing, optimisation, short-listing and finalising of all eAxle specifications – 3 weeks.
