Paired with a UQM Technologies, Inc. (UQM) PowerPhase electric propulsion system, the BorgWarner eGearDrive transmission will propel the five-passenger CODA sedan at highway speeds while providing maximum powertrain efficiency.
“BorgWarner’s 31-03 eGearDrive is a purpose built, high performance transmission that can be broadly adapted to a variety of electric propulsion systems,” said John Sanderson, president and general manager, BorgWarner Drivetrain Systems. “Designed for fast-to-market implementation, we expect this eGearDrive transmission to accelerate growth in the all-electric and hybrid electric vehicle segments.”
In addition to providing primary drive for front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles, BorgWarner eGearDrive systems enable launch assist, energy recovery, and AWD performance for the secondary-driven axle on any type of vehicle. Also available is an optional electronically actuated park lock system as well as various electronic driveline disconnect systems.
“BorgWarner’s commitment to excellence and leadership position in the powertrain component business made the company an ideal transmission supplier for the all-electric CODA,” said Kevin Czinger, president and chief executive officer CODA Automotive. “We’re looking forward to working with BorgWarner.”
