Torque vectoring system for electric vehicles with Single electric motor - BorgWarner

United States

BorgWarner, USA has developed an innovative torque vectoring system for electric vehicles which enables the use of just one electric motor instead of the traditional two that are typically found on electric vehicles.

This solution is cost-effective and features a compact design, significantly reducing the vehicle space needed as well as the weight of the system, and technology conserves weight and space in the driveline, aiding in overall vehicle efficiency. Torque-Vectoring Dual-Clutch commands torque independently, distributing torque to the left and right wheels from its position on the rear axle.

The system dynamically transfers torque for improved steering response and controllability and has a capacity of up to 2,600 Nm per clutch. The start of production will kick off in the first half of 2022.
