Schaeffler promotes manufacturing flexibility

Global auto supplier Schaeffler Group has a message for the EV motor market: the company is capable of building custom solutions for many different EV drivelines and use cases. And it is forthright in saying that not all mobility applications need cutting-edge technology to be effective.

While some e-motor manufacturers have gone to market with a limited number of models - usually employing similar architecture but different levels of output - from which customers can select, Schaeffler insists it will consider building any motor spec brought to it. Daniel Sayre, e-motor business unit director, said the company is dedicated to adapting and working with customers to develop the best solutions for their vehicles.
