Magna has announced it has been awarded a high-volume contract with a Europe-based global premium OEM to supply its new eDrive system (eDS Mid). The eDrive is planned for 2027 model SUVs/sedans, with production expected to begin in 2026.
Magna’s eDS Mid is a high-speed e-motor that offers a scalable power range from 100 kW to 140 kW, optimized for 800V. As a high-voltage eDrive system for electric AWD applications, Magna says it enables fast reconnecting through a new decoupling system. It also delivers an inverter with Silicon Carbide (SiC) technology.
The production of the new eDrive System will start 2026 in Austria and Slovakia
