Theoprax Expert Talk: Hybrid and Electric Drives

 15:00 - 16:30
 FH OÖ Campus Wels

Hybrid and electric drives for high performance sports cars – architectures and technologies for high end applications


Abstract:

Applying electric motors to high end sports cars can increase the performance significantly.

The presentation will include hybrid and electric architectures above 1000 hp and up to 500 kph. The H8-DCT-850 hybrid transmission with integrated axial flux motor, which is in serial production since 2021 will be presented as the basis architecture. The outlook will show an all-new architecture to enable a top speed of up to 500 kph. Finally, the second generation of the ULTEVATE Platform for BEV drivelines will be presented, enabling up to 800kW (2x400kW) on the rear axle and up to 400kW on the front axle. Cutting edge technologies for future applications, like Form Litz Wire Winding technology and Multi-Level-Inverter will be shown as an outlook on component level to increase efficiency and continuous performance.
