Driveline & Transmission Systems
FlexForm
Type 4 Hydrogen Tank / Up to 700 bar NWP
- Conformable tank that can be configured to fit irregular spaces within a vehicle
- Continuous manufacturing process that creates a foldable design that allows excellent packaging flexibility
- Length and diameter of chambers can be varied to optimize the use of available space
- Multiple tanks of different configurations can be used within the same application
- Tanks use dedicated OTV with industry standard electronic control
Key Benefits
Fit hydrogen tanks into already existing and common packages between propulsion types, such as:
- Battery trays
- In between frame rails
- Spare tire compartment
- Designed for volume production
- More hydrogen can be stored in a given space compared to cylindrical conventional storage types
• 15% -25% efficiency improvement in standard spaces, with up to 50% more storage available in
irregular packaging envelopes
eMD15
Designed for Classes 5 & 6
- Forced Lubrication with Serviceable Filter
- Optional Electric Park Lock
- High Efficiency Single Speed Gearbox
- Customizable Track Width
- Adaptable to Preferred Wheel Ends and Brakes
Nested Differential Disconnect
Suitable for all automotive ICE and eAxle driveline applications
- Low disconnected state noise and drag due to reduced number of rotating
components over competing architectures - Smaller impact to packaging and mass than other types of disconnect architectures
due to differential and gearbox integration
Electronic Locking Differential
Fully locking differential for Off-Road and low traction events
- Driver controlled on/off dashboard switch
- Fully integrated into vehicle architecture
