Ford Motor Company together internationally renowned auto parts maker Schaeffer today demonstrated Ford Fiesta-based development eWheelDrive wheel motor drive vehicles. Subsection car is still in the research and development stage will lay the foundation for car manufacturers to develop more compact and flexible models, thus improving the urban mobile travel and respond to difficult parking challenges in big city. eWheelDrive hub motor drive technology, the independent motor integrated in the car's two rear wheel hub, thereby replacing the traditional transmission of engine and transmission, as well as the center generators for electric vehicles, saving a lot of space. The technology allows car manufacturers possible to develop new four-seated car volume equal to present two-seater .In addition, eWheelDrive steering system with a new design, the vehicle without turning the pan directly into the side parking spaces, This breakthrough technology will be driving in a crowded city parking to bring great convenience. "We feel excited cooperating with Schaeffer on this project, because the study for development a new foundation on efficient, flexible zero-emission electric vehicles," Ford Research and Senior Director of Engineering Pim van der Jagt said, "In the future, we will have the opportunity to fully understand the performance of the new car, to explore how to overcome the challenges in the application of this technology." This highly integrated wheel motor drive system( driving, deceleration and driving assistance) technology required components, such as motors, braking and cooling system are integrated in the wheel hub. "This highly integrated hub drive unit can get rid of all the technical limitations of and rethink development for new models of the modern city possible. This will be a key factor in the development of new models and vehicle platforms." Schaeffler Chief Technology Officer Peter Guzman Professor (Prof. Peter Gutzmer). The R & D projects carried out jointly by the Ford and Schaeffler, designed to provide new solutions for the future of the electric car manufacturer. With the continuous progress of urbanization, modern city will become increasingly crowded. It is expected that by 2050, the global urban population will reach to 3.4 billion to 6.4 billion, the number of global car ownership will grow four times. Many industry professionals believe that wheel motor drive technology will be the key technology for car manufacturers to develop new models suitable for urban driving. "We are now facing a variety of challenges, we have to solve these problems through new ideas and investment gradually," said manager Sheryl Connelly, Ford Global Trends "through research projects eWheelDrive, we will provide more likely , rather than limiting. " Ford Schaeffler, Continental, RWTH Aachen University, Regensburg University of Applied Sciences to continue a program called "Mehren energy-saving multi-motor electric car" project to expand cooperation, and in 2015, the trial out of two road vehicles. The project aims to continue to promote the the automotive wheel motor technology, and continue research and development vehicle dynamic control, braking performance, stability and driving fun technology.#Schaeffler #eWheelDrive hub FAG HCS71916C.T.P4S.UL| FAG HCS71913E.T.P4S.UL | FAG HCS71914C.T.P4S.UL | FAG HCS71912E.T.P4S.UL | FAG HCS71911E.T.P4S.UL | FAG HCS7010C.T.P4S.UL | FAG HCS71906E.T.P4S.UL | FAG HCS7008C.T.P4S.UL | FAG HCS71906C.T.P4S.UL | FAG HCS71905E.T.P4S.UL |
