DESCRIPTION
InnoShiftIng GmbH is developing shifting systems for electric multispeed drives and disconnect units. Multispeed drives and disconnect units can decrease the energy demand of electric vehicles significantly due to higher overall efficiency. For further improvement of efficiency and a reduction of costs, dog clutches can be used instead of friction clutches. A downside of multispeed drives with dog clutches and disconnect units is the responsiveness and torque lack during gear changes. A Predictive, Satellite navigation-based Transmission Control (PreSat-TC), which is to be developed by InnoShiftIng GmbH in the proposed project, utilizes the current vehicle position and planned route to define the best possible moment to change the gear. With this strategy, noticeable gear changes can be reduced or eliminated. This brings the driving comfort of the new, more sustainable and energy-saving drivetrains to the same level as existing solutions. The market for this technology is global ground-bound mobility with a strong focus on personal and commercial road vehicles. InnoShiftIng’s customers are vehicle manufacturers and suppliers.
