GKN Automotive, a maker of electric driveline technology, has launched three families of electric drive systems, each of which integrates an electric motor and inverter with a single-speed transmission module.

GKN Automotive’s Family 2 eDrive offers peak torque of 1,800 to 2,700 Nm, and is suitable for A-, B-, and C-segment applications. The company’s Family 3 eDrive offers peak torque of 2,700 to 4,100 Nm and is suitable for C- and D-segment vehicles. The company’s Family 4 eDrive offers peak torque of 4,100 to 5,800 Nm for D-segment and large vehicle applications.
