If required, the 1eDT240 can also be equipped with a higher-performance electric motor delivering up to 145 kW. It can be supplied in three different transmission ratios.
“The 1eDT240 drive unit can be fitted in a wide variety of electric and hybrid vehicles with front or rear-wheel drive thanks to its compact, versatile design,” said Getrag chief programme engineer for E-Drive Alexander Strube.
“This unit can cover the entire range from city to sports car and even light truck applications.”
Several electric-drive test fleets, for example the BMW Mini, Mercedes-Benz B-Class F-CELL and the Necar Series, have already been equipped with Getrag drive technology.
