We are excited that our drivetreain is finally in production! We want to keep you informed in real time about the progress, so if youre looking for inverters, batteries and so on, just stay tuned.
Today it’s all about the heart of our expedition vehicle. The Motor-Gearbox assembly that is a structural part of the vehicle .
It boasts some impressive figures:
- Max. output rpm: 6000, +50% compared to Diesel version, eont be used in this application due to limitation to 40 kph
- Max output torque: 2300Nm, +20% compared to Dieselversion
- Internal efficiency, inputshaft to outputshaft: +25% compared to Dieselversion that was using a hydrostatic drive
- Weight: -150 kg compared to Diesel version, not including exhaust system
- Lenght: -50 cm allowing for a third front seat
BOSCH SMG220 Motors Peak Performance: 140Kw/350Nm Max. RPM: 16’000 Cooling: Water/Glycol The complytely new SMG220 enters the market in 2021 and BOSCH decided to sponsor two of the first available units for the Peak Evolution project.
Machined aluminium adaption gearbox housing It contains the spur gear stages to reduce the motor rpm and increase torque.
Collective gearbox housing It is already installed on the base vehicle. It combines the two motor input shafts via the patented variable twin planet layout by VDS Getriebe.
Front differential housing The gearbox is a structural part of the vehicle. The front and middle differential are directly built in
Power take offs The mechanical power take off, the hydraulic pump and power steering pump are all included in one compact unit, eliminating the need for additional electric drives or belt drives and therefore reducing complexity
The drivetrain layout was designed by DDP Innovation and it’s being built by VDS Getriebe in Austria.
It is the optimum between efficiency, short development time and production cost.
