Earlier this year, Schaeffler announced its 4in1 e-axle, which combines four subsystems – electric motor, transmission, power electronics, and thermal management – into one highly innovative system.

The event featuring technology demonstrations, exhibits and technical seminars was presented by Schaeffler’s Automotive Technologies division, highlighting its innovation, customer and market orientation, and transformation towards the future of mobility in the region. 

Schaeffler puts the spotlight on its innovative components and systems for powertrains, chassis systems and new mobility solutions toward enhancing efficiency and minimizing carbon emissions at the Schaeffler Symposium Japan 2022.

Dharmesh Arora, Schaeffler Regional CEO Asia/Pacific, said, “We are excited to present our continued, ongoing transformation in pushing the boundaries of efficient and sustainable mobility,” “Throughout the event, attendees were able to experience first-hand our innovations and technologies actively driving transformation in the automotive industry. Furthermore, as a respected global supplier of high-quality, innovative technology solutions, the customer-focused event provides a platform for us to inspire collaboration and strengthen cooperation.”

“At Schaeffler, we anticipate that in 2030, 80 per cent of all vehicles produced worldwide will be with electrified powertrains – both fully electric and hybrid. We are well positioned to take advantage of this shift and have made headways when it comes to technological advancements, particularly in our electric axle drives”, Dharmesh commented. 

Earlier this year, Schaeffler announced its 4in1 e-axle, which combines four subsystems – electric motor, transmission, power electronics, and thermal management – into one highly innovative system. Designed with an intelligent control system, this high degree of integration allows for more efficient use of thermal energy – up to 14% less energy consumption through waste heat utilization and CO2 heat pump – in the vehicle leading to increased range and ride comfort. The 4in1 e-axle was also on display for the first time in Japan.
