Vitesco Technologies has signed agreements with Groupe PSA and Hyundai to supply fully integrated electric axle drive systems for unnamed volume-production models.
Production of the new electric drive system at Vitesco Technologies plant in Tianjin, China, has already started.
“Our new integrated axle drive unit and our extensive experience in electrifying drive units have made Vitesco Technologies the partner of choice for carmakers striving to be at the forefront of e-mobility,” said Vitesco CEO, Andreas Wolf.
PSA has selected Vitesco Technologies’ new electric drive system for its e-CMP modular electric platform, on which compact battery electric vehicle models such as the Peugeot e-208 and Opel Corsa-e will be built.
