Vocis launching demo EV with 2nd generation multi-speed transmission; projected 15% improvement in vehicle efficiency

Green Car Congress

We have used a modular architecture for the second-generation transmission, used in the demonstrator, which means the motors can be installed parallel to each other or on opposite sides of the unit. This flexibility of layout, plus the scalability of the modular concept, makes the design suitable for a wide range of vehicle types.
