The Power of Cool
Recent simulations have explored the potential benefits of three areas of emerging eAxle technology: direct oil-cooling of eMotors, multi-speed transmissions and battery immersion cooling. eMotors generate a formidable amount of heat, so direct oil-cooling is increasingly seen as a way to optimize performance. While the market continues to eVolve, electric vehicle lubrication is also coming of age – bringing with it the power of cool. This article explores the latest research from Ricardo and Afton Chemical, highlighting the benefits of effective cooling for eAxles, multi-speed transmissions and beyond.
