Distributed Electric Drive Axle for Buses

Our distributed electric drive axle for buses features two electric motors integrated into the rear axle. With this distributed drive setup, the left and right wheels are controlled independently, which reduces tire slippage, minimizes wear, and improves safety and stability. Additionally, this drive axle supports a low-floor design, lowering the center of gravity for electric buses and enhancing passenger comfort.

Leading the Way in Innovative Electric Powertrain Technologies

In the electrification of buses, simply replacing the engine with an electric motor while maintaining the traditional central drive system of fuel buses can lead to issues such as excessive weight, large size, and low efficiency. Our forward-thinking distributed electric bus axle offers a deeper optimization of the entire electric drive system, ensuring vehicle stability, safety, and efficiency.

With a robust portfolio of core technologies for e-powertrain design, including DCU, EASR, IESS, IRBS, and more, we are dedicated to delivering substantial benefits to bus manufacturers, fleet operators, drivers, and passengers.

Empower Your Electric Bus Design

With industry-leading technology, our distributed electric axle systems for buses offer numerous advantages over central direct drive systems.

Central Direct Drive System

Distributed Electric Drive Axle

Short Transmission Chain
Our distributed drive eaxle system ensures each motor drives one wheel, significantly shortening the transmission chain, minimizing transmission loss and maximizing efficiency, delivering superior performance.
Compact Structure
The distributed electric drive axle systems save space and contribute to a more compact vehicle structure. It's about 200 kg lighter than the central direct drive system.
Improved Tire Grip Distribution
The distributed electric axle enables individual adjustment of motor torque, optimizing tire grip distribution, enhancing vehicle handling and driving stability, providing a safer and more controlled driving experience.
Enhanced Drive Efficiency
Aligning the motor's optimal efficiency range with the vehicle's operating conditions boosts drive efficiency and energy utilization, ensuring vehicles operate at peak performance.
