The Schaeffler 4ePerformance concept vehicle demonstrates how quickly motorsport technology can be put on the road. Four 220kW drives from the ABT Schaeffler FE01 Formula E racing car have been fitted to the car, each directly connected to a wheel by a spur gear unit, while two motors share one gearbox housing to form an electric twin axle. This architecture enables selective control of drive torque to individual wheels (torque vectoring)
