All-wheel drive electrification benefits dynamics, safety, efficiency, and convenience. Besides an advanced drive architecture, this requires consequent functional integration through software. In electric all-wheel drives (eAWD), functions are increasingly defined through software. Magna improves efficiency as well as drivability through the ‘Magna Vehicle Motion Control’. This software-based system includes a control loop with five elements:… Continue reading

To scale up BEVs, affordability and efficiency are key. Intelligent vehicle architectures and battery systems reduce cost and enhance customer experience. Vehicle price, range and charging experience are critical decision factors for buyers and therefore market success of BEVs. With the new modular e-drive system (MEB) Volkswagen designed a platform for purely electric vehicles. The… Continue reading
