Start to finish mechanical Development of transmission for a Plug in Hybrid Electric Vehicle powertrain application. Start with a conventional drive transmission.
Transmission development with Electric Motor/Generator. Design of system, subsystems and components involve;
- Requirements
- Mechanical and hydraulic (concept) design
- Housing design & casting
- Gears, splines, shafts and chain drive design
- Calculation / simulations
- Strength & Stiffness
- Dynamics
- Acoustics
- Tolerance studies
- CAD development (coordination)
- BOM, specifications and Drawings
- FMEA’s
- Design reviews
- Test specifications, settings, procedure, coordination
- Releases, toll gate assessments
- Coordination, realisation and participating in prototyping and prototyping production line validation (incl. end of line tests)
- Project overview
- Organising / hosting (interdisciplinary) team meetings
- APQP
Typical transmission product developments such as shaft (re)design, Hydraulic system and oil pump (re)design to be compatible with EV-driving (engine shut off), chain drive to transmit EMG torque to secondary shaft, Full new housing and support design. Design starting from proof of concept to Mule car, A, B, C and D-sample (PPAP) incl. releases.
