Electric vehicles will be able to have gear changes: how does it work?

Ronald Ortega

Soon, electric mobility will take over the automotive market to such an extent that it will become one of its main points, since the planet increasingly demands our care when generating carbon dioxide emissions, therefore, There is no doubt that this section will dominate this sector very soon.

However, for this to happen we must go step by step, including improvements and reinforcing sectors in favor of perfection in terms of electrification is concerned, since when trying to be a pioneer in any field, spaces must be covered and problems solved until an optimal, adequate and practically perfect service is offered.

Precisely, Inmotive thinks this way and went ahead to offer a totally new solution that has not been seen in the automotive market at the electrical level since its inception: A gearbox with two-way transmission. speeds. Remember that almost all sustainably powered vehicles have only one gear.

Two-speed transmission

To make this possible, the Canadian company placed two gears that are located in the middle of the wheels and the electric motor, allowing the change of gears through the sectors of the front wheel that increases or decreases the proportion of the transmission thanks to the use of an actuator.

Configure This section, in the way described above, allows electric vehicles to function more effectively, wasting less energy (something vital for the durability of an electric car and the autonomous distance it can offer), increasing its capacity to regeneration by changing between low and high gears.

The savings in terms of costs are so significant that the gear system baptizes Do as Ignear allows a saving of $1.500 dollars per car. How do you do it? Easy, the two-speed transmission allows the vehicle to safely use a battery with less capacity, as well as a more economical electric power unit, at the same time that it does not lose any type of performance at a technical level.

In addition, the company also states that the acceleration of vehicles that use this system will increase up to % in relation to one that does not have it incorporated, so much so that the tests carried out by Inmotive show 500% efficiency in low gear and 100% in high gear. Finally, the system is available for passenger cars.
