Gearbox in electric cars

Gearboxes convert the torque from an engine into the traction required to drive the vehicle. In electric and hybrid vehicles, gearboxes take the form of electric axle drive systems. electric Function Gearboxes convert the engine torque into the wheel traction required to drive the vehicle. As internal combustion engines only operate in a narrow speed range, gearboxes transform this into the wheel speeds needed to produce the various driving speeds. They do this by providing…
