Electric mobility is one of the key forward-thinking topics at CES 2019. Automotive and industrial supplier Schaeffler predicts that in 2030 some 30% of all newly registered passenger cars will be fully electric, 40% propelled by hybrid powertrains — a combination of a conventional IC engine and an electric motor. A projected 70% of all passenger cars will be using at least one electric motor as a source of propulsion. At CES, Schaeffler will showcase exhibits extending from a hybrid module through to the 1,200 horsepower (hp) Schaeffler

E-Mobility Products from Schaeffler
By 2020, Schaeffler says will have invested more than 500 million euros in research, development and production of electric drive units. The company mass-produces components and system solutions such as e-axles and hybrid modules. A transmission specifically for electric vehicles, of which one each at the front and rear axles of the new Audi e-tron enables a particularly efficient all-wheel-drive system with smart control technology, is another example. In normal drive mode, only the electric motor on the rear axle is active. If the driver requires higher output via the accelerator pedal or the system detects slip on the rear wheels, the front axle drive is additionally activated.
Schaeffler Hybrid Module for American Top Sellers
At CES, Schaeffer will showcase a hybrid module enabling OEMs to electrify pick-up trucks popular in the U.S. marketplace. The compact P2 hybrid module fits between the IC engine and the transmission, which makes it suitable for integration into existing vehicle concepts. It enables both a boost function and “coasting” with the IC engine shut off as well as all-electric driving. Consequently, the hybrid module shown at CES enhances both fuel economy and driving pleasure.
E-Axle for Agile Handling
The e-axle developed by Schaeffler can be used either as a stand-alone unit or to extend an existing front- or rear-wheel drive into a full-fledged all-wheel-drive system. The power output with wheel-selective control is another benefit. Due to torque vectoring, a distribution of torque between the right and left wheels, safety, driving dynamics and ride comfort are enhanced. The e-axle presented at CES offers efficient driving dynamics interventions for both hybrid and battery-electric vehicles.
