WHAT: eAccess 48-volt electric powertrain system

INNOVATION: Valeo has created an affordable eDrive module combining an air-cooled 48-
volt belt-driven starter-generator, a permanent magnet synchronous motor with an
integrated inverter and a dedicated modular transmission. Through the reuse of mass-
produced automotive components combined with a modular reducer, the system supports
the mass adoption of light electric powertrains on two-, three- and four-wheel vehicles for
urban driving.

Valeo has created an affordable eDrive module combining an air-cooled, 48-volt belt-driven
starter-generator, a permanent magnet synchronous motor with an integrated inverter and
a dedicated modular transmission.
Through the reuse of mass-produced automotive components, combined with a modular
reducer, the system supports the mass adoption of light electric powertrains on two-,
three- and four-wheel vehicles for urban driving.
Valeo’s eAccess uses a 48V belt starter-generator in a dedicated transmission,
transforming it into an eDrive, or a propulsion system for light electric powertrain.
The system also meets high performance standards for noise, vibration and harshness
and addresses long-term environmental strategies through end-of-life recycling.
