Dear [FIRSTNAME],
The core element of an electric powertrain is the motor, the main component of which is the rotor shaft. By using tube instead of solid material, significantly less material is required in the manufacture of rotor shafts, which saves weight. |

Lightweight solutions for the mobility of the future
Lightweight construction technologies are being used more and more frequently in automotive engineering. For electric vehicles in particular, it is important to compensate for the high dead weight of the batteries with lightweight elements. After all, the less mass that has to be accelerated, the less energy is lost. More...
