Hasco Magna Electric Drive Systems (HME), a joint venture with the participation of automotive supplier Magna, has launched the high-volume series production of secorndary eDrive systems for the Volkswagen ID.4 electric crossover.

HME is the global supplier of secondary eDrives for Volkswagen’s all-wheel drive MEB-based models with power greater than 185kW. The highly integrated eDrive system is optimized for secondary eDrives for electrified vehicles. The system was designed using Magna’s integrated, modular and scalable building block approach, resulting in a cost-efficient product that meets the various demands for global application. It is one of many eDrive products in Magna’s portfolio that covers power ranges up to 250 kW for all vehicle types.

The system integrates an induction-type e-motor, an integrated single-speed gearbox, a high-voltage inverter and the corresponding software and controls. It also provides 80 kW of peak power to the front wheels and features best-in-class drag torque, which optimizes efficiency.

“This development is a testament to the successful cooperation between Magna and Hasco and represents an important milestone in our electrification strategy. As a leading eDrive systems supplier in China, we are proud to support our customers across the globe in their transition toward new energy vehicles,” said Haitao Zhang, President of Hasco.
