Stuttgart, Germany, May 7, 2019 11:30 AM CEST – Today at the Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Technology Expo, Elaphe Propulsion Technologies announced they will begin low-volume series manufacturing of the world\u2019s highest performance direct drive, gearless in-wheel powertrain system, called the L1500.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Elaphe\u2019s high-performance in-wheel motors are designed for integration in vehicles ranging from small cars to sport utility vehicles and light commercial vehicles with little or no compromise or re-engineering of the existing wheel hub and mechanicals.<\/p>\n

The most notable features of Elaphe\u2019s in-wheel motors are their extremely high torque, low weight and unique, compact packaging around standard knuckles and friction braking systems. The Elaphe\u2122 L1500 in-wheel motor achieves the highest torque densities of electric motors on the market, generating 1500 Nm of torque without using any gears. A single in-wheel motor can achieve a power output of more than 110 kW (147 HP) and fits inside a 19-inch or larger wheel rim. The L1500 motor is compatible with all drive layouts <\/a>\u2013 rear wheel drive, front wheel drive and four- or more – wheel drive vehicles.<\/p>\n

The L1500 D-version in-wheel motor has been optimized for low-volume series production and its earlier versions have been tested on several vehicles including passenger cars and off-road-vehicles. The company will begin low-volume series production in the fourth quarter of 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Our technology enables manufacturers to design and produce electric or hybrid vehicles rapidly and cost-effectively without compromise to their existing vehicle architectures or complex packaging”, said Elaphe CEO, Gorazd Lampi\u010d. “The technology also integrates seamlessly with autonomous driving applications, providing feedback data, unprecedented responsiveness and enhanced vehicle controllability.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Elaphe previously showcased prototype mules based on the Smart ForTwo, BMW X6 SUV and Audi R8 platforms, among others, demonstrating proven applications for direct drive, in-wheel propulsion motors. In recently performed track testing of the L1500 in-wheel powertrain in a modified electric prototype vehicle, the car achieved 3.5 sec 0-100 km\/h acceleration time. <\/a>This was the fastest recorded time ever for an in-wheel motor application. <\/span><\/p>\n
