Progress will be made by overall system optimization and integration
OTA 39 Innovative Technik von ZF - Valencia 12-10-22
Summary

 Pure electric driving technologies will co-exist with conventional


and hybrid solutions for a long time
 E-mobility solutions will have to fulfill various specifications within a
small range of design kit variants
The use of e-axle drives for both EV and Axle based HEVs
is reasonable
System optimization has to be applied to E-motor,
gears and inverter in a holistic approach
“Power out of speed” is a feasible
approach regarding the key factors
of an EV drive system

 Integration is a key factor
