Magna EtelligentCommand Prototyp
Unlimited PHEV performance with exceptional efficiency, power and control.
The EtelligentCommand is a technology demonstration vehicle from Magna with the dedicated hybrid drive system DHD Plus on the front axle and the eDrive Mid+ on the rear axle. The system is designed for plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and full hybrid (HEV) applications. The EtelligentCommand uses advanced software-based operating strategies that enable advanced features for uncompromised performance, efficiency, safety and comfort.



Magna EtelligentReach Prototyp
Intelligent BEV powertrain solution that sets new standards in range and dynamics. The technology demonstrator is powered by the highly integrated Magna EtelligentReach eDrive systems on the front and rear axles, enabling sporty driving with the most efficient use of energy and increased range. Magna's updated vehicle control strategy precisely manages the two eDrive systems and their corresponding functions to deliver an outstanding driving experience.



BorgWarner Electrical Torque Vectoring IDM demonstrator
eDrive rear axle with stepped planetary gearset connected to a highly integrated three pin differential for a very compact design. The axle is equipped with an electrical torque vectoring module allowing 2000Nm of torque vectoring torque independently of the propulsion torque. Gearboxes, inverters, propulsion motor and vehicle dynamics controls is developed by BorgWarner.



GKN Porsche Taycan Sports BEV - eLSD Module
GKN Automotive‘s Electronic Torque Manager (ETM) is now also featured on one of the most powerful series production AWD BEV sportscar on the market. The electronically controlled Limited Slip Differential provides a fast & accurate actuation and significantly improves the vehicle dynamics performance. GKN Automotive’s ETM has a solid track record for years and is featured on many vehicles, independent of their propulsion system.



BorgWarner Electric Torque Vectoring and Disconnect Prototyp
Polestar 2 vehicle with BorgWarner‘s eTVD system retrofitted at the rear axle. With focus on efficiency and dynamic performance, the clutch-based system replaces the conventional differential to add disconnect and torque vectoring features to the vehicle. BorgWarner‘s vehicle dynamic control software handles slip controller, torque distribution and disconnect function to enable optimal performance in terms of efficiency, safety and vehicle dynamics. The vehicle is equipped with a customer interface to enable easy vehicle tuning on the fly.



BMW M8 Competition with Actimax Transfer Case
Magna Powertrain’s ActiMaxTM Transfer Case is a single-speed active transfer case with a multi-plate wet clutch (optimized for high performance applications) and electromechanical ball ramp type actuation. This fully active system allows for clearly differentiable driving modes (e.g. Eco, Auto, Sport, ...) and for different vehicle characteristics to be achieved using the same hardware (mechanical and electrical).



Audi A7 Sportback 55 TFSI Quattro with Flex4TM
Magna Powertrain‘s disconnect unit is an electromechanical actuated system that utilizes a solenoid, lead screw and dog clutch technologies. Preemptive disconnect system that greatly increases the fuel efficiency of AWD vehicles. With its fast and seamless reconnect process, it responds immediately to optimize vehicle safety, traction, and dynamics. The technology uses a multi-plate wet clutch with electromechanical actuation to control torque distribution between the front and rear axles, and a dog clutch to disconnect the rear drivetrain from the wheels. This allows the rear prop shaft to come to a standstill and reduce driveline system drag losses.



Audi RS3 with PerforMaxTM
The dual-clutch torque vectoring rear drive system allows for independent torque to be provided to the rear left and right wheels. Two multi-plate wet clutches are each controlled by an integrated actuator and mechanical ball-ramp type actuation system. Together with sophisticated control algorithms, these provide a superior driving performance for handling maneuvers and off-road conditions.

GKN Jeep Renegade 4xe PHEV – 2-in-1 eDrive system
GKN Automotive’s Coaxial EDU was designed and launched to meet the very challenging packaging requirements in compact SUVs and mid sized cars. It features an induction motor as well as a planetary gearset. This robust architecture does not require any disconnect system on the secondary axle. A reduction ratio of 10 : 1 is achieved by utilizing a stepped planet layout. The advanced oil management enables the use of splash lubrication versus an active lubrication which is typically required to manage the thermal system behavior for a coaxial design combined with an induction motor.



Jeep Gladiator with UltiMaxTM Active Transfer Case 2-Speed
Magna Powertrain’s UltiMax™ Active Transfer Case is a two-speed transfer case with a multi-plate wet clutch and electromechanical ball ramp type actuation. This fully active systems enables clearly differentiable drive modes (e.g. Auto, Rock, Sand, ...) and allows optimization of both on- and off-road driving.



Mercedes-Benz G 500 with UltiMaxTM
Magna Powertrain’s UltiMaxTM Full Time Transfer Case is a two-speed transfer case with permanent 4WD with center differential and locking function. Locking clutch control and range shift are operated with a common electric motor. To achieve minimum electrical power consumption over the full clutch torque range, a calculated self-locking effect of the actuation system is used. Motor and ECU can be either integrated design, using a brushless DC motor, or brushed motor with stand alone ECU.



Steyr-Puch Pinzgauer 6X6
The Steyr-Puch Pinzgauer is an Austrian military vehicle from the 70´s with a 2-speed part time transfer case It was developed as a successor to the Steyr-Puch Haflinger and is a SUV for heaviest terrain.



Land Rover Defender 110 with UltiMaxTM
Magna Powertrain’s UltiMaxTM Full Time Transfer Case is a two-speed transfer case with permanent 4WD with center differential and locking function. The differential lock is realized with a multi-plate wet clutch and an electromechanical ball ramp type actuation (eLSD). Its active control enables clearly differentiable drive modes (e.g., Auto, Rock, Sand, ...). Locking clutch control and range shift are operated with a common electric motor. To achieve minimum electrical power consumption over the full clutch torque range, a calculated self-locking effect of the actuation system is used.



Mercedes-Benz GLE 400 d with UltiMaxTM ATC2s
Magna Powertrain’s UltiMaxTM Active Transfer Case is a two-speed transfer case with a multi-plate wet clutch and electromechanical ball ramp type actuation.

Magna EtelligentEco Prototyp
Magna’s plug-in hybrid powertrain system, called EtelligentEco, enables up to 38% less greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in real-world operation, compared to current plug-in hybrid production vehicles. One important contributor to this is its ability to consider the regional electricity supply that is available for recharging- preferring recharging stations supplied with power from green sources such as wind or solar.
