GKN readies new 2-speed e-axle for 2020

摘要

Driveline-enhancement technology is hot these days, with Tier 1s rolling out new axle-disconnect, electric axle and light-weighting innovations in rapid cadence. In the vanguard of this trend is GKN Driveline, whose masterpiece Twinster dualclutch differential imparted the 2016 Ford Focus RS and Range Rover Evoque dynamic torque vectoring functions across the entire speed range. That was followed by the company's eTwinster, bringing e- axle technologies pioneered in the Volvo XC90 T8 and other hybrids.
