Magna says it has received an order for its eDS Duo electric rear drive unit that features two motors, two inverters, and two transmissions.
At the CES show in Las Vegas in January, Magna, the world’s largest Tier One supplier to the automotive sector, announced a new electric drive motor for electric vehicles that is smaller, lighter and more efficient than any unit previously manufactured by the company. The new drive system weighs 75 kg . It is 20 percent smaller in height and is up to 93 percent efficient in real world driving conditions.
That suggests the customer in question has not yet ordered any EV components from Magna, That rules out Ford, which cooperates closely with Magna. General Motors is also an important customer; Magna manufactures the battery housings for the GMC Hummer EV, for example. So who else could it be?Hmmm, it seems the folks at Dodge have offered a number of hints that its electric cars will have oodles of tire smoking torque.
Magna says it is responsible for the design of the transmission and housing, the cooling system and the integration of the electric motors and inverters “to ensure reliability, efficiency, and continuous power levels.” The drives will be built at the Magna plant in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico, staring in 2025.
